ClockworkMod gets touched for the very first time on a Galaxy Nexus (video)
If you've ever fussed with a bootloader on Android before, you probably know of ClockworkMod: the custom recovery that lets users backup, restore and flash ROMs willy nilly. Well, it's no surprise Google's newest flagship -- the Galaxy Nexus -- has gotten the CWR treatment, as it's been made specifically for idle geek hands. No, the big news here is that instead of fiddling about with the camera key, power button and volume rocker all just to navigate the menu, you can now simply use the power of touch. That's right, this beta build utilizes four softkeys at the bottom of the screen, making the entire affair that much more efficient. You can hit up the source now to take it for a test run, but remember -- flash at your own risk.
Sony Ericsson 'Unique' seesaw concept phone
We actually went the distance and conducted a poll, but none of us here at Engadget have actually dreamed of owning a mobile that our autonomous Legos could seesaw on. Of course, that's not to say we wouldn't take interest if one were to surface. Enter Karsten Willmann's "Unique" concept handset, which longs to fit into Sony Ericsson's lineup and make us all paranoid over that beautiful, unprotected OLED display. Additionally, the built-in jog dial and bezel-less design sure get thumbs up from us, but unless this thing ends up constructed from some mighty rigid materials, we don't see it holding up for too long. More pictorial delight after the jump.
