Verizon's HTC Droid Incredible Priced at $200

The only remaining unknown for Verizon's Droid Incredible, a Snapdragon-powered Android 2.1 handset from HTC, was the price, which was today pegged at $200. Oh, and pre-orders start Monday.

In case you're not in the mood to reassemble months worth of leaks, here's the finalized spec sheet for Verizon's newest piece:

    Android 2.1 with HTC Sense experience
    1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ processor for maximum responsiveness
    Friend Stream for unified Flickr, Facebook and Twitter updates
    "Leap" view for quick access to all seven home screen panels
    8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash for crisp, detailed images
    Razor-sharp 3.7 inch WVGA (480x800) AMOLED capacitive touch display
    Optical joystick for smooth navigation
    Dedicated, touch-sensitive Home, Menu, Back and Search keys
    Proximity sensor, light sensor and digital compass
    Integrated GPS
    Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g)
    3.5 mm headset jack

Throw in the muscular-bordering-on-tacky rear styling, the general goodness of HTC's latest Sense interface, and what it's safe to assume is a significantly better camera than the crap Motorola's been shoveling into their Android handsets lately, and Verizon customers have a serious alternative to the Droid here—assuming they're OK with losing the keyboard.

iPad 3G coming by May 7th

Apple has just updated its online store with a shipping date for the 3G-equipped  variants of its iPad. As you can see, all varieties of the hallowed Apple tablet should be out and about by May 7th -- meaning that some deliveries could sneak out even earlier -- and you can expect AT&T will be ready and waiting for you to activate that $30 a month unlimited data plan. Just for the European record, that means the iPad will be out in full force for American consumers three days ahead of the announcement  of specific international availability. Ah well, at least that gives the UK and others hope that they might see the 3G and WiFi-only slates coming out at the same time, which should be somewhere around the end of May.
