Speaking of tablet PCs, Hewlett Packard tried to raise interest in its Slate again by posting a video on the Web but offering no new details on pricing or availability. Hours later, though, leaked documents surfaced that put $549 and $599 price tags on it and offered a few peeks at some points where HP believes it has an advantage over the iPad.

Over at Digg, which finds itself in need of a makeover to compete with the likes of Facebook, there's a change in leadership as CEO Jay Adelson steps down to pursue his "entrepreneurial calling." Who is there to fill his shoes? Founder Kevin Rose, of course.

It didn't take long for the mystery to be broken, though - expect to see new phones targeted at the teen social networking crowd.
