It’s Friday, it’s lunchtime. You deserve to stick your feet up, chow down on a sandwich, and catch up with all the news you’ve missed so far today!

Android’s continuing to hog the limelight. First there was news its App Store will give all applications away free until the New Year, and now there’re murmurs of a touchscreen keyboard coming to the operating system in 2009 too.

It’ll put Android handsets on a par with the iPhone, with a finger-friendly keyboard that looks suspiciously similar to Apple’s efforts.

Google’s not just focusing on improvements to its own Android operating system though, it just dished up a new version of Gmail for other mobile phones.

The new GMail Mobile app lets you write e-mails even when your offline, as well as delivering speed boosts and the ability to switch between multiple accounts quickly.

Not content without a dose of Apple news? Word is the Mac-maker hasn’t killed the Mac Mini as originally thought, instead it’s prepping a top-to-bottom overhaul, adding speedier drives, the option to ditch the optical drive altogether, and Apple’s new standard-issue DisplayPort.
