HTC Wildfire 2 unveiled in a HTC video?
In a recently released video that was uploaded on HTC’s YouTube page, we catch a glimpse of an unknown HTC phone that we’ve never seen before. The phone strangely looks like the HTC Wildfire that is currently available, but the short glimpse of the phone and its screen is all that we get and no further details are divulged

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play to arrive on Verizon?
According to a Wirefly, an online phone retailer, the upcoming “PlayStation Phone” now known as the Xperia Play from Sony Ericsson will be sold by Verizon when it arrives in the US. Though there’s nothing stopping Sony Ericsson from selling their phone on all 4 major carriers over here – after all, they did it in the UK. But it looks like Verizon customers could have a difficult time choosing a phone to get.

BBC iPlayer app coming to Android as well as iPad by the end of this week
The British Broadcasting Corporation has made its iPlayer app plans that extra bit more official by announcing that iPad- and Android-specific versions of its software will be arriving by the end of this week. The iPlayer is a free TV catchup service hosting the best and most popular (those two being almost mutually exclusive categories) from the BBC’s catalog of recent programming, and the new native apps promise to bring that to your portable device in a touchscreen-optimized format with a “simple and intuitive design.” The finishing touches are being applied right now and the apps should be with us before the week is through, but the real cause for excitement is that the BBC plans to take the iPlayer out for an international walk, which will likely rely on such platform-specific apps for distribution and the collection of subscription fees.

HTC’s 7-inch Android 2.3 tablet with new Sense UI still rumored for March
So far it seems like everyone but HTC has made an official tablet announcement in these early days of 2011. As such, we’re reliant upon the rumor mills for every scrap of information we can get.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo put through its paces on video
The rumored Xperia Neo still isn’t official — we think we’re probably looking at MWC next week for that — but there are enough floating around at this point so that they’re getting tested pretty thoroughly (or, at least as thoroughly as you can test a pre-production device). The latest tidbit comes via a series of videos and stills that put the phone’s 8.1 megapixel sensor through its paces; frankly, they look a little washed out, but it’s really common for camera performance to improve by leaps and bounds through firmware updates right up until a phone’s commercial release so we don’t want to sound the alarm quite yet. My Android Life has also thrown together a quick video walkthrough of the UI, where you see that Sony Ericsson seems to be standardizing on the same experience first seen on the Xperia Arc and later on the Xperia Play — highly widgetized with a Gingerbread core
