Nexus S now on pre-order from Best Buy Canada

The Google Nexus S is certainly one of the most desirable handsets around and for many Canadians obtaining one required an eBay purchase or a trek South of the Border to an American Best Buy. Well, the handset that's expected to be with no less than five carriers in Canada (TELUS, Bell, Rogers, Mobilicity, Videotron and Wind Mobile,) is sort of available for pre-order from Best Buy Canada.

First Look: HTC Flyer 7-inch Android tablet revealed

HTC just revealed its 7-inch Android tablet called the HTC Flyer at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Flyer, which is expected in Q2 2011, runs a HTC-Sense modified version of Android OS 2.4 (Gingerbread) and not the tablet-centric Honeycomb version 3.0.

Decked out in a unibody aluminium enclosure and with a bright 7-inch 1024×600 screen, the Flyer aims to be ultraportable yet powerful with its 1.5GHz single-core processor and 1 GB of RAM. The HTC Flyer joins the original Samsung Galaxy Tab and the RIM PlayBook in the 7-inch tablet space.
