We all knew this would happen once the exclusivity deal with Sprint came to an end. Verizon appears to be picking up the WebOS devices very soon. According to the image above, Verizon employees can watch the 20 minute online training session for WebOS from the 15th of December up until the 4th of January 2010. This all makes sense when you know Palm cannot possibly survive with just Sprint as their carrier. Hopefully the appearance of the Pre and Pixi on Verizon will give Palm a boost and make WebOS grasp sustainability. Still no official announcement, but we would bet it is coming very soon.

NEW UNIQUELY-DESIGNED JVC iPOD® DOCK FEATURES DOLBY VIRTUAL SURROUND
New JVC XS-SR3 “personal theater” holds iPod’s vertically or horizontally.
WAYNE, NJ, December 16, 2009 – A new JVC iPod® speaker system features a unique wraparound design, Dolby Virtual Surround, and a dock that like most docks holds an iPod vertically for music listening, but also can cradle it horizontally – ideal for widescreen viewing of video.
The new JVC XS-SR3 surround dock is a sleek, glossy black speaker tube with a curved design that allows the iPod to nestle between the speakers. The iPod holder rotates for viewing video in widescreen mode and comes with four clips to hold selected iPod models. The speakers’ powerful neodymium magnets ensure clean, crisp sound, while Dolby Virtual Surround creates the illusion of a wider sound field when viewing video content. Power output is five watts and the system features two audio inputs, one analog and one digital optical. A remote control is included.
In addition to its function as an iPod speaker dock, the XS-SR3 can also be used as computer speaker system.
The JVC XS-SR3 is available this month for $149.95.
