Hints at iPhone 5 Design with New Cases

 Considering the amount of attention that iPhone 5 rumors have been getting lately, this could just be a genius marketing ploy. But, we’ll share it anyways. Case-Mate has confidently posted images of their upcoming iPhone 5 cases, which reveal a metal backing and tapered MacBook-like edges. The front of the device is not shown, and while it’s unlikely that Case-Mate is privy to any insider information, case makers have been known to be surprisingly clairvoyant when it comes to mockups.






The next-gen iPhone is rumored to be thinner than the current design, but whether it will retain the current look or adopt something more durable is still unknown. The iPhone 5 is expected to be announced on October 15th.

10 BEST Android tablets in the world

1. Asus Eee Pad Transformer

Best Android tablet PC for: replacing your netbook

We love the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. In our opinion, it's the most compelling Android tablet we've yet seen. Not only is it powerful and well featured, it's designed to work with a keyboard dock which turns it into a fully-fledged Android-powered netbook. What's more, it costs just £429 on launch, with the keyboard - £379 without. This is the way it's supposed to be. This is the tablet that changes the game. Look out also for the Asus Eee Pad Slider which comes packing a slide-out keyboard

  2. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Best Android tablet for: the out-and-out tablet experience

While the Transformer offers something a little different at an unbeatable price, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (not to be confused with the Galaxy Tab 10.1V - see below) offers a direct alternative to Apple's iPad 2. Sporting the Tegra 2 dual-core platform, it's both thinner and lighter than the iPad 2. This is some achievement, especially when you consider the fuss Apple made about how thin and light the iPad 2 was on launch. If you want an iPad-like tablet that's not an iPad, this is the one. The prices are the same as the iPad 2, so it's a straight shoot-out on features...

3..3. Motorola Xoom

Best Android tablet for: sleek good looks and solid performance

The Motorola Xoom was the first Honeycomb tablet to hit the shelves, and while it's a lovely piece of kit, there's a snag. It's just a little too expensive. Current prices are floating around the £459 which is simply too high when you've got the Transformer available keyboard-free for £379. In all other respects, this is a tablet that's worthy of your attention. Solid build quality, decent battery life, good performance. If the price drops by another £50, this could become the iPad rival Motorola wants it to be.

4. LG Optimus Pad

Best Android tablet for: Playing around with 3D

The consumer electronics giants are throwing everything at 3D, and LG has decided that its first Android tablet should play a role in its '3D is the best' hearts and minds mission. The tablet has dual-5MP cameras which work together to shoot 3D images and record 3D footage. Cool, huh? The problem is that there's no 3D screen, so if you want to watch your 3D movies you'll need to either plug the tablet into a 3D TV or watch in anaglyph 3D on the tablet's screen. If you're crazy about 3D, this is your next Android tablet.

5. Acer Iconia Tab A500

Best Android tablet for: fans of brushed aluminium bodywork

Acer's Android tablet is good looking and offers similar performance to the other Android 3.0 tablets on show here. We like it, but it's missing a bit of sparkle and there's not much on show here that we can cling on to. It's not as stylish as the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and doesn't offer anything different like the Transformer does with its keyboard.

6. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V

Best Android tablet for: taking 8MP photographs

The Galaxy Tab 10.1V's key selling point is its 8MP rear-facing camera. It's the best cameratablet (did we just make up a word?) yet and frankly makes a mockery of the 0.7MP camera that the iPad 2's of this world are rocking. It's a snazzy tablet then, lightweight, powerful and a joy to use. It's due to come out very soon, but at the moment we're not 100% sure when or how much it's going to cost. If the price is under £450, this could be a winner.

UPDATE: Samsung and Vodafone have both decided they will not be selling this device in the UK. It is to be replaced by the newer Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

7. HTC Flyer

Best Android tablet for: Portability and fans of Sense UI

HTC has decided to release the tablet running on Android Gingerbread, which will upset some purists that believe these tablets should run on Honeycomb. However, the HTC Sense overlay deals with that, offering a new range of widgets and content to mask the fact it's running older versions of the OS (although a Honeycomb update is imminent). The new tablet has a 7-inch LCD screen, and comes with an aluminium unibody shell that feels very nice in the hand. However, with a price of nearly £600, can this tablet compete?

 8. Viewsonic Viewpad 7

A decent Android 2.2 tablet but it's already out of date

The Viewsonic Viewpad 7 is exactly the same, albeit slightly more expensive than the Linx Commtiva N700 - and confusingly, Viewsonic is marketing it as a smartphone. It's a terrible smartphone but it's a fairly competent 7-inch Android tablet: its 600MHz processor isn't really fast enough for Flash though, not to mention recent Android releases.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Viewsonic Viewpad 10s

A step too far for Viewsonic's weakling Android tablet

We called the original Viewpad 10 a stinker, so what about its successor? It runs Android 2.2 with its own Tap UI overlay, there's a 1GHz processor inside, and there's a very useful option to give each family member their own account. We wish the iPad had that. The 10s is a vast improvement over its predecessor, although it just can't compete with the products higher up in this list.





----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     10..Hannspree Hannspad

 
Another Android tablet bereft of the Android Market

This tablet has more in common with Samsung's current tablet offering, the seven-inch Galaxy Tab, than the new boys when it comes to software. However, it's a match for them when it comes to hardware grunt. The problem is that it's let down by the absence of Android 3.0 and the Android Market, an unresponsive touchscreen, poor viewing angles and some shoddy optimisations.--

BlackBerry Torch review

 Well first of all, the blackberry torch was the first phone to feature Blackberry 6, the latest version of Blackberry’s own operating system. This new OS was packed full of new features which improved the usability of the phone no end and ironed out some of the issues that previous versions of the Blackberry platform had. The new home screen on the Torch is better than anything Blackberry has offered in the past, allowing you to alter how the interface is set up so that your home screen suits you. The new webkit browser is also great, allowing for much more casual browsing.



Hardware


The first thing you'll notice about the Torch, obviously, is that it looks very much like the current crop of BlackBerry devices. Besides that fact that yes, it slides open, you're basically dealing with the same industrial design that we've come to know from RIM over the past two years or so. Sure, there are variations on a theme, but side-by-side with the Bold 9700, it's obvious to see where Torch got its looks from.

The size and shape of the device is nearly identical to the 9700, and in fact, its dimensions (4.4-inches up and down by 2.4-inches across when closed) are within spitting distance of the simpler, portrait QWERTY model. The thickness differs by a tiny margin (the Torch is 0.57-inches thick, while the Bold is 0.56-inches), though for some reason it feels much more significant when holding the two in your hand. Compared to more streamlined devices like the Captivate or iPhone 4... well, it has a full keyboard, okay? The Torch keeps the familiar, metal-like (it's plastic) bezel around the edges of the phone, looping around back just as with the Bold, though this time it's split in two pieces due to the separate screen and keyboard portions of the phone. The front of the device is mostly taken up by the Torch's 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen (480 x 360, just like the Storm and Storm2), though you'll find the familiar BlackBerry call, menu, back, and end buttons and optical trackpad just below the display. Along the right side of the phone is a 3.5mm headphone jack, volume rockers, and user-assignable convenience key (it defaults to the camera), while the left side houses only the Micro USB jack. Up top there are mute and lock buttons, while the phone's 5 megapixel camera and LED flash sit in a familiar spot along the back of

BlackBerry Playbook

Technology News: A new player is going to enter next month for the ongoing tablet war. Research in Motion (RiM) owner of popular Black Berry Phones is now trying its tablet, aiming to give a tough time to Apple’s IPad 2 and Motorola Xoom.

EGG CLIENT IPHONE IPOD SPEAKER

 The Egg Shaped Speaker designed by Nathan Gabriele is so cute. ‘Crack’ the shell and two pieces become your satellite speakers while the base acts as a subwoofer. The base also provides a dock for your MP3 player. It recharges via induction and when portability is a must - comes with a cool neoprene jacket.
