Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHP
We've been keeping a close eye on HP's new Envy 4 and Envy 6 ultrabooks since the company first listed them on its support page, and now we know both what the new laptops will look like, and what they have under the hood. A copy of the user manual posted in the Notebook Review forums contains a number of images, showing off a black, brushed-metal chassis, a full array of ports, and an acutely-angled lip under the trackpad echoed by the laptop's hinge.

Oppo teases 6.65mm-thick smartphone, about to steal 'world's thinnest' title from Huawei
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOPPOHuawei
China-based Oppo is back again with yet another smartphone, only this time there's no pretty girl teasing Mr. DiCaprio. Instead, what we have here is an exclusive leak that shows off a 6.65mm-thick device -- just 0.03mm thinner than the Ascend P1 S from local rival Huawei. In other words, if all goes well then Oppo will have us the world's slimmest smartphone. Details are scarce at the moment, but judging by the above picture this phone will come with a metallic bezel of some sort, along with three capacitive buttons and a three-pin contact for dock connection. Obviously, stay tuned for more deets.

Valve is developing Steam for Linux, says Michael Larabel of Phoronix
Like UnlikeLinux gamers, perk up your ears: the elusive port of Valve Software's digital game distribution platform Steam is finally in development, according to a Phoronix scoop. After spending years trying to track it down and finding evidence in 2010, Valve denied the existence of a Linux version in a GamesIndustry.biz interview, and that was allegedly that. Last month, though, Larabel tweeted that Valve co-founder Gabe Newell personally reached out to him about a Linux build... and yesterday, he flew out to Valve's headquarters in Bellevue, Washington for a personal meeting.

Despite remaining mum on how many Lumia 900s it's moved in the US, Nokia has been raving about how it's trying to keep up with demand for the flagship Windows Phone device. Consider us unsurprised, then, that the company has apparently delayed the phone's previous April 27th release date in the UK to "around May 14th," citing a need to keep the device stocked in the States. The news comes from V3.co.uk, which got the information from a Nokia spokesperson referring specifically to retailer Phones 4u. Hit up the links below if you'd like to catch the full spiel, and why not check out our review of a second time to solidify your decision while you wait.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7.5
Microsoft announced two important changes to the way it operates its Windows Phone Marketplace, and if you’re rocking a WP device, you should know that updating to Mango is a must if you want to keep on using the app catalog.
In the coming weeks, Microsoft will close access to its Marketplace for all devices that haven’t been updated to Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. You’d only be able to browse the Marketplace if you haven’t updated, but you won’t be able to install apps.

Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE heading to Sprint?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaSprintPHOTON 4G
It looks like Sprint and Motorola are working on the successor of Photon 4G, which as far as we’re hearing will be called Photon Q 4G LTE. Yep it will run on Sprint’s soon-to-be-launched LTE network and aside from the new radio, it will also sport a 720p HD screen and perhaps a quad-core processor. The last thing is just a speculation on my end, though when you think about it with all other major handset makers set to announce a quad-core device (some of them already have such product – HTC One X), Moto should do something about it and prepare its answer…

And on the 7th day Oracle rested
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
We’re officially a week into the epic Oracle v. Google trial, as Oracle attempts to squeeze Google’s mobile operating system to see if there’s money inside. For those of you who haven’t kept up on every last detail, the trial has been broken into three phases; the first part covers the alleged copyright infringement and is what is happening right now. This will be followed by a second phase covering Oracle's greatly diminished patent infringement allegations, and finally (if Oracle wins either of the first two phases) a damages phase will be triggered.
