As expected, AT&T has just announced the upcoming availability of the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus for $149.99 and $49.99, respectively. Also tucked into the announcement was the mention of Dell’s first Android-based device in the US, the Aero. No word on price for the Aero or availability dates for any of the announced …

You know, the one that’s supposed to be announced next Wednesday in San Francisco. I’ll save you the trouble of reading the whole thing because we’ve mostly covered it all on …
Wow. This just in from CES:
AT&T just announced its very first Android phone, as well as its plan for five new phones, a massive upgrade of its 3G network, and a plan to offer mobile apps to non-smartphone users.
