As if not to add insult to injury for Sprint buyers of the Pixi, Sprint slapped the price of the WiFi-less phone down to a mere $49 after a $100 mail in rebate and a two year contract, but there’s huge difference between the Pixi and its big brother, the Pre, now with webOS 1.4.

Texas Instruments has been busy making the sequel to the OMAP3 chipset, the OMAP4 – which has insanely fast performance and 145 hours of battery life. They went as far as to make a demo device with two screens, Android, pico projector, 12MP camera, and HDMI out. But wait, there’s more!

Apple Insider has recently learned that among those leaked pictures of the iPad (the ones we decided not to post), there was also a fourth generation iPhone prototype sitting there, unnoticed for about a week now.
