This iPad is Fake, We Wish it Wasn’t
In the lead up to Apple’s iPad 3 announcement we’re seeing a lot of fake “leaked info” crop up everywhere and, as such, we’re having to spend a bit more time searching for the good stuff than usual. During out digital travels we stumbled across an interesting video on BGR’s site featuring an obviously fake, yet very awesome future iPad “demonstration”.
The Samsung Galaxy Beam is Cool
You’re probably sick by now of hearing us lament over the lack of niche phones in the market and the seemingly unrelenting pushing forward of processing power without much effort going to enhancing other areas of smartphone performance or even offering something completely new. Fortunately for us big companies like Samsung do occasionally come out with something intriguing and of late it even seems to be becoming more of a trend, with intriguing shinies cropping up with more and more regularity. The latest Samsung piece of interest is the Samsung Galaxy Beam, but first we'd like to point out some of the other cool stuff we've been seeing in the past year or so.
iPad 3 May Be Scarce/Called iPad HD
It looks like our hopes of Apple learning from past mistakes will be shattered. Reports are coming in that the iPad 3 will see severe supply shortages that may persist in to Q2 of this year. At the same time we’re hearing that the next Apple tablet may even not be called the iPad 3 at all, but rather the iPad HD.
Samsung Galaxy S III Specs Unveiled
There have been almost as many rumors running around the web about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III than about the soon-to-be-launched iPad 3. Now, finally, we’re getting some pretty viable information about what we can expect from Samsung’s next flagship device.
Windows 8 Customer Preview Live
Microsoft has released a test beta of Windows 8 for anyone curious enough to try. As expected, the new OS from Microsoft features heavily around gesture interfacing in an order to accommodate the new line of Windows 8 tablets which are slated to start hitting stores both this year and next.
The Sony Xperia P and U
Not only boasting the Xperia S as its newest Ericsson-less phone line, Sony has introduced the Xperia P and Xperia U. Both the Xperia P and U sport a dual-core 1GHz U8500 chipset and both, unfortunately, will come running Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box with an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to follow in Q2.
iPad 3 Launch Date Announced
Apple has finally announced the official press event for the iPad 3. On the March 7th Apple press event the world will finally get its first look at the next instalment of the tablet series that created a global market. So what do we know so far? Not much, really. We’ve heard semi-confirmation of a 2048 x 1536 retina display for the 9.7 inch screen but other than that we still only really have conjecture to go on.
Nokia 808 PureView's 41MP Camera
There’s a huge amount of excitement about Nokia’s recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) announcement regarding its new Nokia 808 PureView handset. Overall the 808 PureView is a relatively unimpressive phone, running on Symbian Belle rather than Windows Phone Mango. Unimpressive, that is, until you get to its incredible 41MP camera.
Sony Xperia S Shipping Worldwide
First shown off at CES in Las Vegas, the Sony Xperia S is one of the first phones in Sony’s new Ericsson-less line of mobile devices. Complete with a stylish new design, Sony is hoping that the Xperia S will see solid global acceptance as it moves forwards in to a new era of Sony Mobile handsets.
