Palm's Mojo devkit has leaked to the web ahead of schedule—they had announced it would arrive in late summer, and instead developers are treated to the SDK right now.

Mojo is of the utmost importance to Palm: Without a huge and vibrant developer scene churning out tons of apps, the Pre might not excel as a platform enough to challenge the iPhone. The SDK that leaked is a beta, and some are warning potential developers to treat this version as a guide rather than a final release. Now the fun really begins—it's time to see what the Pre (and Pre community) can do. [PreInsiders, Thanks Pat!]

We've got some screenshots of the new version of HTC's TouchFLO 3D, which should be debuting on the Firestone. HTC's gone ever deeper into WinMo's UI, including every settings screen. Basically, you'll hardly know which OS you're using.

TouchFLO 3D 2.5 also allows for more customization than before, including three user-defined buttons on the home screen. Hopefully we'll be seeing it in action sometime in August. Check out the video below to see it in motion, though be warned: Them fellas aren't speaking English. [PocketNow

Boy Genius Report found in an internal site that Verizon's soon to be fleshing out its rather anemic smartphone lineup with the BlackBerry Tour on July 12th for $200 after contract.

This lines up pretty nicely with what we already know; we knew the Tour was coming soon, and Sprint has already set the price of the upcoming BlackBerry at $200. So this is still unconfirmed, but we don't see any reason to doubt it. Cheer up, Verizon users! [Boy Genius Report]

Update: We've also learned that Sprint will be getting the Tour on July 20th, presumably at the same $200 price after contract signing.

So this is still unconfirmed, but we don't see any reason to doubt it. Cheer up, Verizon users! [Boy Genius Report, Inside Sprint]

...Adam Savage's Savage Phone Bill...A Proverbially Dumb Doorknob...Undead Robot Mickey...Cheaper iMacs Imminent...

MythBuster and Giz amigo Adam Savage got back from a trip to Canada, only to discover that AT&T had charged him $11,000 in broadband-modem data fees—equal to 9GB of downloads and uploads—while he was there. Worst of all, they said they'd cut off his phone service until he pays. It's not exactly tech news, and it's already over thanks to a surge of Twitter buzz. Isn't it nice to know AT&T listens to customers...with 54,539 Twitter followers? [Adam Savage's Twitter Feed]

Here's a concept for a doorknob that spots you via infrared and glows softly when you're within 10 feet. Not only do I think it would be hard to build and market for "under $20," you could only sell it to people who have rooms large enough that it's not always glowing, and yet don't have the wherewithal to afford a two-way lightswitch. That's quite the niche market. [Gizmag]

In 1989, my buddy Dave and I wrote a song called "We Shot Mickey Mouse." However, we did not have the sculptural talent or truly twisted minds to go so far as to die-cast a zombified roboticized Mickey Mouse, finish it with chrome, and charge $1000 for it, like KAWS and Hajime Sorayama did. Too bad it's not a real live robot, cuz that would be worth $10K. Regardless, it still sold out immediately. By the by, the artists naturally couldn't use the Disney-TM'd name so they went with "No Future Companion," some sort of statement on the amusement-free wasteland that lies ahead.

Since an Apple-free Remainders is like a sextape starring a horse (something you may think you want to see but seriously you don't want to see), here's a relatively baseless but believable rumor for you to chew on: iMacs, already low-ish in price, are gonna get even lower-ish soon. AppleInsider expects a 7-10% price drop to accompany a fall iMac refresh. [AppleInsider]

Oh, and you want to hear something crass? Somebody claimed to be selling Steve Jobs' white earbuds on eBay. eBay squashed that crap ASAP, but can you believe it? I mean, his surgically extracted liver, stolen from a hospital, sure, but his earbuds??!!?? [TechEBlog]

Here's a Lego diorama of one of the best scenes of Matrix Revolutions: Zion's last stand against the Matrix, humans in their mechas against merciless Sentinels. The close-up of the human resistance mecha begs for an official Lego version.

Yes, definitely. Bring'em on. [Flickr via Brothers Brick]
