We’re crossing our fingers and toes so hard we can barely type and walk, since it looks like the oft-delayed Dragon launch will take place tomorrow. SpaceX founder Elon Musk confirmed that the company had passed final launch review with NASA and that everything was set for the Falcon 9 to lift off at 4:15AM ET on May 19th. The lift-off will be broadcast live from the official website and is on course to be the first private spaceflight to dock and deliver essential supplies to the International Space Station .

We’ve received a boatload of tips that folks who have pre-ordered the EVO 4G LTE at Best Buy are now seeing a new release date of May 23rd. Does this mean Sprint’s flagship handset is getting close to leaving those dreaded customs halls ? Here’s HTC’s take on the matter: HTC is working closely with U.S. 
Lenovo announced a slew of notebooks back at CES in January, so you’ll be forgiven if the ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 don’t ring a bell. Those names are about to hit closer to home, though, because both models are finally on sale in the US and Asia with a base price of $459

A release put out today confirms that New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle will be among the 31 cities where the company will launch the aforesaid network, though there’s no breakdown on which of those metro markets will be forced to wait until “mid-2013″ to get served
Just a week after NASA signed off on its launch, SpaceX has had to postpone the flight of the Dragon . It’s yet another delay to NASA’s efforts to supply the International Space Station using private spacecraft and reduce the US’s dependence on Soyuz rockets. Taking to Twitter, founder Elon Musk said that the company needed to do more testing on the docking code for the capsule, while spokesperson Kirstin Brost Grantham told Space.com that the company needed more time to test and review the hardware. 
We hear that pilgrims have already started flocking to the town of Ivybridge (population 12,056) in the forested depths of southwest England.

A month ago to the day, SpaceX informed us all that it was aiming to launch its Dragon spacecraft skyward on April 30th, and rendezvous with the ISS a few days later. Now NASA’s finally finished its flight readiness review and has given Elon Musk’s capsule the green light to hit that launch window. The capsule will hitch a ride on one of the firm’s Falcon 9 rockets and will launch from Cape Canaveral just after noon ET — from there it’ll perform a flyby of the station to check its sensors and flight systems before its inaugural docking with the ISS
