He expects Break’s total revenues in the third quarter, which include more than just video advertising, to be well above $10 million for the first time...

Acer Android tablet release date wobbles
Acer's expected Android-based tablet will come to challenge the iPad in Q1 2011 rather than Q4 2010, it has been alleged.
Notebook industry sources cited by DigiTimes made the claim, adding that the reason for the delay - if delay it truly is; we're not so sure - is Acer's decision to wait for Android 3.0.
Well Acer might wait: Android 3.0 will apparently add lots of tablet-friendly features to the Google OS...

£1 by Christmas?
One of the year's top performing stocks so far is video search engine Blinkx. It jumped a further 7p to 74.75p, and people in the know are confident that it will be trading above £1 before Christmas. Last month, Korea's Samsung Electronics selected Blinkx for participation in applications for Samsung phones.

Google plots pre-Christmas Chrome OS iPad killer
Google will have a spec-tastic, low-cost, possibly even free Chrome OS tablet in punters' hands a month before Christmas, it has been claimed.
And now the bad news: it's likely to be only available in the US, and if you want to get the tablet for a lot less than the iPad, you'll need to take out a Verizon data airtime deal.
Launch day, according a to an unnamed source cited by website Downloadsquad, will be Friday, 26 November, the day after Thanksgiving and a time when holidaying Yanks descend upon retail outlets in their droves.
According to the mole - if mole he be - HTC is making the hardware, which will use Nvidia's ARM-based Tegra 2 system-on-a-chip. It'll have 2GB of Ram - which is a lot for this kind of device, especially one with a cloud-centric OS - and 32GB of Flash storage, possibly expandable through memory cards, though that's not certain.
The display will be 1280 x 720, so well set for widescreen HD content. Navigation too, thanks to built-in GPS chippery, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and - hence the Verizon link - 3G connectivity. It'll have a video conferencing camera too, the source says.
If said mole is correct, Google's gadget will come in ahead of a raft of tablets based on the online advertising giant's other OS, Android, which is expected to get all tablet-ready at the tail end of the year in its 3.0 release...from The Register

Comment: Android OS. So can run Blinkx Beat, then...
