Pocketnow has released the photos of a new HTC handset named Incredible from Verizon that’s in the making. The phone features Android 2.1 & dual flash LED. It’s running with a Snapdragon CPU with 256MB of RAM, and has a 3.5-3.7″ WVGA screen. The screen might be AMOLED. The Incredible features an optical mouse pointer towards the bottom of the device.

Facebook is planning to introduce a full featured webmail code named Titan. According to Tech Crunch, there will be full POP/IMAP support, meaning users can access the account other than Facebook through Facebook itself. Your email account name will be your vanity url – vanityurl@facebook.com. Though Facebook has several million users, I’m not sure how many of them would like to use another webmail. Let’s wait and see how it shapes up.

Mozilla Messaging team has released the 1st alpha version of Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1 code named Lanikai. I’m using Thunderbird 3.0 since it was released and I like it. I like the tabbed interface. The only irritating problem I have is with the folders that Thunderbird created under Archives for my GMail accounts. Even if I read the emails under my inbox, the archive folder doesn’t get refreshed and when a new email comes, I get new email notification with multiple email subjects. This is pretty irritating and I have no idea how to stop it unless I go and click each individual mails under Archives. I also would like to see the compose window open in a new tab instead of a new window.
Lanikai Alpha 1 is built on top of the Gecko 1.9.2 platform. Here are some important changes in Thunderbird 3.1 alpha 1.
- Several improvements to IMAP.
- Several fixes for Smart Folders, message filters, and attachment handling.
- Several design improvements and corrections to the interface.
- Download Manager is now accessible as a menu item (Tools > Saved Files).
- Stability and memory improvements.
If you want to give it a try, read the known issues in this release, below.
- All Systems
-
- If you are using the Kaspersky Anti-Spam Extension, it is disabled in Lanikai Alpha 1. The Kaspersky Anti-Spam Extension will support Thunderbird 3 in their next version.
- If you use or had previously used the master password feature, you may be prompted to enter your master password when you first start up Lanikai.
- Your passwords are stored in a new location. If you go back to using a Thunderbird 2, or switch back and forth between Lanikai and Thunderbird 2, your password lists do not get updated.
- Searching your emails is case sensitive for languages other than English.
- If using SSL or TLS, and the certificate that comes from the server is self-signed, expired, or has a domain that does not match the server domain, a dialog will be shown asking if Thunderbird should permanently make an exception for the cert. This should only be done if the error is understood.
- The extended columns in the folder pane were removed in Thunderbird 3 Beta 1. There is an add-on that restores this functionality.
- The compact header view was removed in Thundebird 3 Beta 3. There is an extension that offers similar functionality.
- Some Thunderbird 2 users upgrading to Lanikai may not be able to login to their smtp server because the secure authentication setting maybe turned on but not supported by the smtp server. Check your smtp server settings in Tools -> Account Settings -> Outgoing Server, and edit the smtp server with the issue. If use ’secure authentication’ is checked, uncheck it and try again.
- Lanikai requires that extensions either come from a secure server using the HTTPS protocol or are digitally signed, or they will fail to install.
- If you are unable to view content for your RSS feeds in the Wide View Layout, you may need to disable the Lightning Calendar add-on if you have it installed or switch to Classic View and restart Thunderbird.
- Some emails sent in Plain Text may move the message and some of the buttons out of the message pane. Open the message in a New Tab, resize the window, or change your layout to Classic View or Wide View to view the message.
- When working Offline, if you compose an email and select ‘Send Later’, your message may not be sent if you reconnect automatically to the Internet. You will need need to manually resend the email from your Drafts folder.
- In some cases, using ‘Save As Template’ from the File menu may not work. You can still Save As Template from the email Compose window or drag the message into the Template folder.
- Microsoft Windows
-
- The keyboard shortcut for ‘Mark All Read’ has changed from Ctrl+Shift+C to Shift+C.
- You can download alpha1 from here.

It works it’s cool. I’m sending this post from my Droid.
Update: One issue I found was (may be I’m missing something?), when I created the post, I checked the Publish check box and then clicked save. The post was saved in the draft and didn’t get published until I long pressed the post and selected Publish.
WordPress team has released WordPress for Android apps yesterday. I have been waiting for this for quite sometime and it’s finally here. I was using Postbot, but wasn’t quite pleased with that since it lacked features. I installed WordPress for Android and it’s cool.

- Configure and manage multiple blogs
- Comment moderation including the ability to reply to comments
- Create and Edit Posts including categories, tags and photos
- Create and Edit Pages
- Get notified of new comments in the Android notification bar
WordPress for Android is based on the source code from wpToGo Android apps. With this release, wpToGo will be discontinued.
