What a nice round of news regarding the T-Mobile G2X this weekend. There’s a lot here so grab some popcorn and stick with me. Firstly, T-Mobile has confirmed that the device will certainly be getting Android 2.3 – we expected as much. And they say we won’t have to wait very long for it either – we expected that, too, considering it’s a stock Android device. Secondly, if you didn’t know, this thing can take screenshots out of the box. No need to root it and install ShootMe. (Though we’d still recommend going that route as ShootMe is a very sweet app.) Not sure how many of you will find value in this, but it’s always nice to know that it’s there. Simply hold down the power and home buttons simultaneously. Finally, if you’d rather inject your brand new dual-core smartphone with some CyanogenMod 7, you most likely won’t have to wait long – folks are already working on adapting the ROM to the T-Mobile G2x. Cyanogen hasn’t announced official support just yet, but if the developers responsible for the port can get it stable enough then I’m sure it won’t take long before it sits on Cyan’s official device list.

| DROID Incredible 2, Inductive Charging Mat, and DROID Charge Accessories Arriving in Verizon Stores Posted: 23 Apr 2011 10:59 PM PDT
Everything’s all set for an April 28th launch for a few Verizon-branded devices, folks, as they’re now headed to stores. We already knew of the arrival of some dummy units for the Casio Commando and the DROID Incredible 2, but this weekend’s leak seems to suggest that actual device units are already in stock. Along with the DROID Incredible 2, Verizon’s set to introduce an induction charging mat for the special wireless charging battery doors they’ll be making available for their newest DROID devices. (These include the HTC Thunderbolt and the HTC Incredible 2 as well as the LG Revolution ) Pricing? Sure – $70. Don’t panic, these prices are inline with similar products such as those from Powermat’s line. In that same leak we’ve caught wind of some DROID Charge accessories. No surprise here, but you can expect a vehicle dock, a multimedia dock, and a case with a convenient kickstand. Those can be had for $40, $50 and $30, respectively. [via TDG 1|2]
