”Are These Screens from the New Nintendo DS?
This allegedly leaked photo of new Nintendo DS screens has played a game of Google Translate telephone before making its way to Giz wearing red sox and green hair, but from what we can make out from the source, the big difference in the updated display is a shift in screen size from 3 inches to 3.25 inches. It's still not a widescreen system like many of us would prefer, but then again, the alteration shouldn't mess with the aspect ratio of existing DS titles, either.

First we had the leaked AT&T info confirming the Bold's arrival in October, and now BoyGeniusReport has a leaked screenshot of Best Buys' computer system. It confirms an in-stock date of October 26th. That should excite you, BlackBerry fans. [BGR]Nokia Tube Launch Is Pretty Much Happening on October 2nd
Reuters is claiming that the long, long-awaited Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Touchscreen "Tube" will be launched in London on October 2nd, according to their sources. This confirms the rumor that we floated Wednesday, when the first actual picture of the device surfaced. (It's mostly screen. Surprise!). As with most of the glut of new touchscreen phones out there now, the key to Tube's success as well as the most exciting part of the launch will probably be the device's software, which is rumored to be a touchscreen revision of the venerable Symbian S60 OS [Reuters]First Official Pics of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Touchscreen 'Tube' Leak
Nokia's a little late to the touchscreen gameāand they've been parading the "Tube" around for a while ("we promise, it's coming!"). Now details are starting to build for a rumored October 2 announcement of the Tube (known more stodgily as the 5800 XpressMusic), fanned by the leaked pic above spotted by Mobile.cz. The date also coincides nicely with the expected timeframe of Nokia's "Comes With Music" launch, since this is primarily a music phone. Expected specs includes A-GPS and Wi-Fi, a 640x360 touchscreen, Symbian S60 and an included 8GB SD card for music. [Mobile.cz via Unwired View, BGR]
Pentax Leaks Affordable New K-m DSLR
There've been lots of rumors floating around about Pentax's Photokina lineup, and it looks like the German Pentax site leaked some images and details about the K-m, an entry-level DSLR. Specs are a little bit sketchy, but it's using the same 10.2MP Sony sensor as the K200D, and retains the 2.7-inch screen and the sad lack of Live View. But the iso gets a boost to 3200 and the fps to 3.5, and the pricing seems extremely competitive, at only 500 euro for the 1-lens kit and 600 for the 2-lens kit. The K line has been solid so far, so we'll be watching out for it at Photokina. [1001 via Crunchgear]HTC Touch 3G Pictures and Specs Leak: Touch 3G and Viva Officially Confirmed
Looking a lot like original HTC Touch, this HTC Touch3G was found by Engadget hiding on the HTC Touch HD official page. It looks like it's got Europe-style 3G, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, AGPS, Wi-Fi and a 2.8-inch screen. The data also says it's got the TouchFLO UI, and quad-band GSM. So this phone's not the Opal, since that's got EDGE and a Ti Omap processor and this has HSDPA and a Qualcomm chip. It's not quite as simple as a 3G Touch update, since it's also got GPS. We'll have to wait for HTC to stump up official news. Update: It's now official.

Actual HTC Opal Spyshots Surface (Touch's Twin)
The Touch-like HTC Opal we saw renderings of earlier this week looks like it definitely exists, according to these leaked shots. Yeah, if you're having a hard time seeing a difference from the original Touch, so are we. We saw some specs too that indicate it's very similar (still no 3G, same processor), but here it is, in the wild. The Touch HD we saw definitely still holds the title of HTC leak-of-the-week, though, and if anything's going to be a true successor to the original Touch, it's that, not the Opal. Another shot post-jump. [Pocketpt.net via Boy Genius] More »HTC Touch HD Looks Big and Beautiful
It's all rumor and speculation, but a picture paints a thousand internet links. This alleged HTC Touch HD is a fullscreen touch device with WVGA (800X480) resolution—essentially taking, say, the Touch Diamond's razor-sharp screen and making it longer. As another metric, if you think the iPhone looks nice, realize that screen runs in 480x320.
