Another rumour is going around about the iPad 2 release date. We have heard previously that a new iPad will be launched in November this year, then it was December and now it is end of Q1 2011.
Most people expect that Apple [AAPL] will release the iPad 2 based on how the iPhone and iPod touch gets updated, which is generally yearly. This would make it an early April launch for the iPad 2 which means Digitimes isn’t that far out with it’s guess. [Read more…]

The Playstation Move went on sale last Friday. iFixit followed it’s usual tradition and decided to take it apart and have a look at what’s inside and how it all works.
The Move its self has seven buttons, a compass, gyroscope, accelerometer and vibration motor. A mixture of all these sensors allows it to be accurately tracked by the Playstation and allows a different way of interacting with games.
The Playstation Move its self is easy to take apart according to iFixit and they ended up giving it a score of 8 out of 10 with 10 being the easiest on the scale. [Read more…]
The Samsung Galaxy Tab price is still yet to be confirmed by Samsung although a number of retailers have now listed the tablet on their sites.
Amazon in the UK is the latest who first listed the 16GB model for a hefty £799 although shortly after the price was dropped to a slightly more respectable £680.
Although we can compare that to the 16GB Wifi+3G iPad at £529, it’s also a little difficult to compare as the Tab has a few extra features such as a camera and ports. However, people are likely going to compare it to the iPad as it’s essentially another tablet device that is the first main stream rival to the iPad. [Read more…]
Well its here, Sony’s much anticipated Playstation Move is now available. In an older post, we stated Move’s capabilities and potential.
If you shop at Amazon, $29.96 for the navigation controller, $49.99 for the Move controller, Camera at $32.82 and $99.99 for a starter pack which includes both controllers and a camera, seems pretty reasonable. [Read more…]
Could this be the iPad killer?? There’s a veritable plethora of reasons why it could be.
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab will be on sale in the US as of next month, across many of the major networks such as Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint. As already mentioned in a previous post found here, we know of rumours dotted around the internet at the moment of prices for the Galaxy Tab ranging from between $200 – $400 on contract and around $600 – $700 as an unlocked package so nothing set in stone just yet. But later rumours spreading now sees pricing to over a grand in Europe alone (is this too much??) and as usual with wireless networks these days and based on their own marketing projects we’re still unsure on contract prices.
As well as announcing the HTC Desire HD, HTC has also announced the HTC Desire Z today.
The HTC Desire Z has a “pop out” QWERTY keyboard that pops out rather than slides out. The Desire Z will also run Android 2.2 when the phone launches soon.
The processor running in the Desire Z is an 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 which puts it a little slower than the Desire HD although you need to weigh up what you’ll use the smartphone for and if you want or don’t want a physical QWERTY keyboard. [Read more…]
Today, HTC has announced a few new smartphones. The first up is the HTC Desire HD that we have seen a number of times before in various leaks.
Features of the HTC Desire HD include a large 4.3 inch LCD screen. The processor powering the Desire HD is a Qualcomm Snapdragon running at 1GHz. The OS running on the Desire HD will of course be Android 2.2 Froyo and the device will also run HTC Sense which might or might not be a good thing depending on if you like Android 2.2 in plain Vanilla. It is however, the first phone that will hook up the the HTCSense.com system.
The camera on the back is 8 megapixels and has a dual LED flash. The camera is capable of capturing video at 720p HD. [Read more…]
