Not all mobile news is destined for the front page, but if you’re like us and really want to know what’s going on, then you’ve come to the right place. This past week, one clever individual has repackaged HTC’s Beats equalizer for use on any Android smartphone, and we’ve also come across news of additional language support for Siri that’s set to arrive later this year.

Next time you’re trying on a pair of (non musical) jeans, why not snag a free Android phone to help fill their roomy pockets? And while you’re shopping for that big trip you’ve got planned, you can let “HTC Airlines” book that flight for you. Honest, it’s no trouble at all. Well, it’s a little trouble.

Dell’s Streak 5 tabletphone hasn’t held our interest much lately, even with Android 2.2 on board, but Dell’s got a new deal that may be too good to pass up. If you already had your heart set on nabbing a Dell notebook or desktop PC priced at over $699 — say, one of those shiny new Sandy Bridge rigs — you can add an unlocked Streak 5 to your cart for an additional Benjamin. Now that’s what we call an impulse buy.
