A man has been arrested in connection with the Stockholm suicide bombing, police said today. The 30-year-old was detained in Glasgow this morning in connection with the bombing in Sweden in December last year. The foreign national was arrested under the Terrorism Act shortly after 6am in the Whiteinch area of the city. It is alleged the man was involved in aiding terrorists in Sweden. The suicide bomber, Iraqi Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, 28, who studied at the University of Bedfordshire, blew himself up and injured two people in a botched attack in Stockholm. Police said there was no evidence to suggest that there was a direct threat to Scotland. The man is being held and interviewed in…

It ain’t as crazy as you may think. If you’ll recall, we actually heard last month that Deutsche Telekom was mulling the idea of spinning off T-Mobile USA from its portfolio, and now it looks as if one carrier in particular is interested. According to the imitable “people with knowledge of the matter,” Bloomberg Businessweek is reporting that Deutsche Telekom has gone ahead with talks to “sell its T-Mobile USA unit to Sprint in exchange for a major stake in the combined entity.” Granted, there’s no guarantees at this point that the two will actually reach a deal that sits well with both boards, and up until now, they haven’t been able to come to terms with T-Mob’s valuation. As the story goes, Deutsche Telekom has purportedly said that it could sell “all or part of the US business, and all options are open.” Meanwhile, Sprint’s remaining mum. A merger of these two would combine the number three and four players in America, but if that doesn’t pan out, T-Mobile USA may end up buying wireless spectrum from Clearwire as an alternative. We’re hearing that an outright sale of T-Mobile in the US is pretty much off of the table, but considering just how many backroom talks are apparently going on in both camps, we won’t be surprised until they tell us to be.

We got to check out Xtreamer’s Prodigy media player and go hands-on with its Ultra HTPC at CeBIT last week, but it turns out that the company has another nifty device set to debut this year. After taking a peek at its 2011 product catalog, we discovered that the Xtreamer PVR is “comming soon” with a similarly sexy exterior and much of the same specs as the Prodigy, but packing a Sigma Designs SMP8656 chip for high-end 3D graphics, optional dual tuners, and Android 2.2. We sincerely hope that Xtreamer’s prowess with Froyo far exceeds its aptitude for spelling — we kid because we care . Android’s everywhere!

Amazon is set to be launching its own little Market for Android sometime this month, but Opera just flinched first, flipping the switch on the Opera Mobile Store. It’s an online clearinghouse for apps available for “virtually any mobile platform and device” — which right now covers Android , BlackBerry , Palm , Symbian , Windows Mobile , and good ‘ol Java. (iOS is notably absent, but supposedly coming with links back to the App Store .) Apps are provided by Appia with the vast majority costing nothing. The vast majority are also junk, but such is the case in most app stores. It’s online now, featured in the Speed Dial on the many and various mobile flavors of the Opera browser, meaning you’re just a tap or two away from getting MySpace profile pics on all your contacts. It honestly doesn’t get much more compelling than that.

Okay, so maybe the whole brainpower thing is a distant second to the iPad itself, but still — being a rocket scientist probably doesn’t hurt when manipulating microscopic objects via a multitouch display. That’s the kind of setup that students and boffins alike have going at England’s University of Bristol, where iTweezers are being used to control a tiny rod about 300 nanometers wide, amongst other things. Essentially, the iPad is able to display what’s under a microscope via a wireless display transfer, and then, touch points are converted into laser movements that are used to handle objects that are far smaller than those visible particles clogging up your left ear right now. All told, a user can select up to 11 different objects, and in theory, the iPad could enable scientists to do this remotely. Hey, we’re all about new and improved ways to telework . Vid’s below, kiddos.

Not that we were doubting the veracity of our tipster’s info , but here’s a nice fat slice of pseudo-official confirmation of what we were told a couple of days ago. HTC has laid claim to the trademark of “HTC EVO View 4G,” confirming our indications that an EVO View tablet would be coming to Sprint’s Now Network. That postulation is also supported by the fact that the EVO branding has only ever appeared in association with Sprint as well as some pretty compelling circumstantial evidence . There is an interesting new piece to the puzzle, however, in the 4G appendage to the device’s name, which would imply that we’re looking at our first WiMAX tablet — something Sprint promised for this year and looks set to unveil at the upcoming CTIA 2011 trade show. Our expectation is that the EVO View 4G moniker will be attached to HTC’s1.5GHz Flyer , a 7-inch Android Gingerbread slate with aspirations for Honeycomb glory in its near future. Only one way to be sure though, keep an eye on our CTIA coverage and we’ll let you know as soon as the official bird chirps out the official word. HTC seeks EVO View 4G trademark, all but confirming WiMAX-capable tablet for Sprint originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 08 Mar 2011 05:32:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
