As well as reusing the same graphic of the so-called Turtle phone as we saw <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/microsoft-pink-turtle-and-pure-phones-leak-2457897/" target="_blank">leaked last year</a>, they also confirm Verizon as the carrier and position the handset as a social media-centric messaging device. [Update: New tipsters have apparently confirmed that both the Turtle and the Pure (aka the Sharp PB10ZU and the PB20ZU) will be available, and are likely to launch in late April 2010. The production names are still not finalized, but the UI shares some of Windows Phone 7's appearance along with "some sort of UI skin/more of a social-networking edge".] </blockquote> Full Story: <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/microsoft-project-pink-getting-imminent-verizon-launch-0476729/">Microsoft Project Pink getting imminent Verizon launch?

In the email, Rubinstein admits that “this news is difficult to swallow” but claims to have met with Verizon Wireless who “acknowledged that their execution of our launch was below expectations and recommitted to working with us to improve sales.” Those tactics will include greater training of Verizon reps by Palm’s so-called “Brand Ambassadors”, together with more advertising. <img class="alignnone" title="Palm Pre" src="http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/O2_Palm_Pre_GSM_SlashGear_review_29-540x400.jpg" alt="O2 Palm Pre GSM SlashGear review 29 540x400" width="540" height="400" /> </blockquote> Full Story: <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/palm-ceo-verizon-launch-below-expectations-2675713/">Palm CEO: Verizon launch “below expectations”</a> Chris Davies on "Project Natal tipped for October; response lag measured" http://discuss.slashgear.com/topic/project-natal-tipped-for-october-response-lag-measured#post-7932 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:25:19 +0000 Chris Davies 7932@http://discuss.slashgear.com/ <blockquote>A relative gush of Project Natal information today, with BBC presenter Jonathan Ross apparently <a href="http://twitter.com/Wossy/status/9500132320" target="_blank">tipping an October launch date</a> for the motion-control gaming system, while MTV take on another timing issue by <a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/02/22/project-natal-timing-the-delay/" target="_blank">measuring the peripheral’s lag</a>.
