New ipad: Five Things Your New iPad Won't Tell You

1."The 'i' isn't for 'inexpensive.'" A record 3 million people ordered the latest version of the iPad during the weekend after its debut on March 16 -- the strongest launch for the device yet. With prices for the new iPad starting at $499 for the 16GB Wi-Fi only version, experts say consumers are paying a premium for the gadget. But they may not realize that premium could cover the cost of making a second iPad. IHS iSuppli, a technology research company that has studied the cost of the iPad's components, estimates Apple spends $375.10 to make the 32GB version of the new iPad with 4G LTE connectivity -- roughly half the retail price. And the profit margin grows for the more expensive models. While it costs Apple about $16 more to make...

AT&T to sell Nokia Lumia 900 for $100 on April 8

There's a lot at stake for this phone, with Nokia and Microsoft betting heavily that the Lumia 900 will finally help Windows Phone break through in the U.S. market. Nokia's Lumia 900 smartphone will hit AT&T's store shelves on April 8, a move Nokia hopes will usher a return to the U.S. in a big way. The phone will sell for $99.99 with a two-year contract, AT&T told CNET. It is one of the most affordable flagship products AT&T has ever sold. There's a lot at stake with this launch. Nokia badly needs a buzz-worthy hit product in the U.S., a market it has struggled to operate in over the last few years despite dominating early in the cellphone business. AT&T hopes the 4G LTE-capable Lumia 900 will spark interest in its...

Samsung Galaxy S II O2 Android 4.0 update goes live

Samsung Galaxy S II owners on O2 UK can get a taste of delicious Ice Cream Sandwich today, with the carrier confirming that Android 4.0 for the smartphone has been released. The much-anticipated update follows Samsung’s release of the generic ICS ROM earlier this month; at the time, the Korean company warned that carrier versions might take longer to arrive. Although Ice Cream Sandwich is much changed under the hood in comparison to Android 2.3 Gingerbread as the Galaxy S II launched with, Samsung’s unstoppable need to fiddle and tinker means the outward differences are less obvious. TouchWiz makes an appearance again, covering up the slick native Android 4.0 UI that we so liked on the Galaxy Nexus. Of course, those who particularly...

iPhone 5 can have Nano-Sim Technology

iPhone 5 is going to be Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) next big thing and the company is working hard to keep their secrets within four walls. According to some sources, Apple’s ready for bringing yet another breakthrough in smart phone industry by creating a nano-SIM for their next 6th generation iPhone. This new nano-SIM would be smaller than the micro SIM. The company thinks that this way, they’ll be getting an edge over their competition, most likely Samsung, Nokia and Blackberry. The recent models – iPad 2 and iPhone 4S already features the micro-SIM, but the company wants to make the SIM card smaller than the already small-sized micro-SIM.

New iPad Battery Keeps Charging Despite 'Battery Full' Message

You shouldn’t stop charging your new iPad as soon as it shows a 100 percent battery. Instead, to get the most from the battery, keep it charging for at least another hour after it says it is full, a study on Apple’s new tablet finds. In his review of the new iPad Retina display, Dr. Raymond Soneira of Displaymate Technologies discovered that the third-generation iPad continues to draw 10 watts of power for about an hour, even after iOS claims the battery is 100 percent charged and says it is done charging. To power the high-resolution display in the new iPad, along with improved quad-core graphics chip, Apple bumped the battery size and output by 70 percent, a teardown of the new model reveals. The new iPad has a 42.5-watt-hour battery,...

Rumored: iPhone 5 to Feature Larger Screen

Apple's iPhone 5 will feature a 4.6-inch screen, according to one new report. However, other sources moved quickly to undermine that rumor. Now that the new iPad is on store shelves across the country, attention is inevitably turning to the next Apple product waiting in the wings: the so-called iPhone 5. Long a target of rampant speculation, despite a near-total lack of verifiable details, that next-generation device has been tagged iPhone 5 by pundits and media. Whether Apple picks that as the official name remains to be seen, although the company’s refusal to name the new iPad something like “iPad HD” or “iPad 3” makes it a bit more unlikely that the next iPhone will come with any sort of moniker whatsoever. Amid that speculation comes...

When Samsung Galaxy S2 can update Ice Cream Sandwich ?

Now Samsung has confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich update is landing next week, here's our constantly updated hub of all information for the next level of Android on your flagship Samsung phone. The problem with Android updates is the process is so staggered, leading to consumers getting angry at the length of time it takes them to receive the next generation of software. Once Google throws out the source code to the manufacturers, it's up to them to divert resources to combining the latest version of Android with their hardware – this can take longer if there's a skin running atop the OS, as is the case with the Galaxy S2. And once that's complete, the likes of Vodafone and O2 then have to make sure there are no issues...

Samsung delays Galaxy S II Android update

Samsung is reneging on promises it made to quickly dole out an Android update for one of its best-selling phones. The manufacturer was supposed to roll out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the Galaxy S II tomorrow, but now it says the process won't happen until a bit later. The company said that it does have a new date confirmed internally but is not yet sharing it with the public. This comes as just the latest setback in the Ice Cream Sandwich update saga. The first phone that tried to update was the Nexus S, a phone that Google actually had an active hand in developing. The upgrade process seemed to be running smoothly, with handsets beginning to receive the new OS in December. But Google quickly yanked the updates...

New iPhone 5 Will Beat the 4S

Will be iphone 5 ? After great media hype, iPhone customers expected the iPhone 5 to be released in October 2011, but instead the iPhone 4S was unveiled. Popular rumors suggest the phone will be launched at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but is highly unlikely as Apple usually has its own event to launch new models of its products. A recent report in the Japanese blog Mocotakara, says that Apple will abandon its mid-year iPhone releases and instead switch to a 12-month launch model. This may mean we have to wait a little longer to get a glimpse of the new iPhone but the rumor seems realistic as the iPhone 4S launched in October last year instead of the usual iPhone mid-summer launch period. Whenever, the iPhone is unveiled...

What to expect from the iPad 3

When Apple holds a press event Wednesday, everyone who's paying attention expects to see the much-anticipated iPad 3. The latest version of the device that virtually defined the tablet market after its introduction in 2010, the iPad 3 will arrive at a time when competitors are beginning to put up a bit of a fight. Amazon made a splash with its simpler, cheaper Kindle Fire over the holidays, and rival bookseller Barnes & Noble has countered with its popular Nook Tablet. The Acer Iconia A500 offers more memory than the iPad 2, while other companies have begun flooding the market with devices that are smaller and cheaper than Apple's standard-bearer. And, just this week, Microsoft rolled out its Windows 8 operating system for tablets,...
