Microsoft adds Acer, ViewSonic to patent licensing list
You can go ahead and add Acer and ViewSonic to Microsoft’s long list of patent licensees. This morning, Redmond announced a pair of new licensing agreements with the two companies, just a few months after striking similar deals with Itronix and Velocity Micro. Details, however, are few and far between, with Microsoft saying only that it will receive royalties from ViewSonic and that the patents in question pertain to both companies’ Android tablets and smartphones. Of course they do. Both press releases await you, after the break.

Sony Ericsson enlists hippies to unleash the flower power of the Xperia Arc
Is the screen of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Arc really bright enough to make a flower bloom? Not something we considered while reviewing SE’s flagship, yet the company’s gone and answered that question anyway. Helping settle the score are a group of swank euro-hippies, who apparently have free access to building materials and dwell in a post-apocalyptic greenhouse. Using a metal contraption that hoisted eight arcs, the team of mavericks was indeed able to get the flowers to flourish under the gizmos’ potent white light. Don’t believe us? Espy that and the ensuing tears of joy after the break.

Motorola to enable 1080p video recording on the Atrix 4G … later
When speaking of the Motorola Atrix 4G we kind of have to point out that while the device was shown off at CES it was not fully completed. Changes to the device before and post-launch are to be expected just like any other and Motorola has one rather significant change coming for the Atrix 4G.
As it is today and right into presumably shortly after launch, the Atrix 4G does not have 1080p video recording ability. That’s not because it can’t do it, it is powered by the dual-core Tegra 2 so it can when Motorola enables it to do so. According to the Motorola website, you won’t have to wait all that long to have the ability enabled. Sucks that it won’t be there at launch but its still great to know it will be there eventually.

The Dell Streak shows off its bluetooth support in style
In another display of Android awesomeness, the Dell Streak shows off it’s skills by using a full size Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Not just any keyboard and mouse though, this time around we’re seeing it drive an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse. I’ll bet someone in Cupertino isn’t very happy about this, but here at Android Central we’re loving it.
Even better, it’s doing this out of the box — no hacking or wizardry needed. Combine with the Streak’s 5-inch screen with a real keyboard and mouse and it looks like a tiny little desktop computer. Should be awfully nice to reply to all your e-mail with this rig though. Check out the rest of the pics and see a video in action after the break. [Streak Smart via [Engadget]
