Apple I- Phone

Whilst we anticipate Apple to announce the new iPhone line-up sometime in September, it is firmly believed that the launch of the product will be sometime in early October, with not one, but two new iPhones.

Keeping up with the rumors and leaks is certainly an ongoing battle, and in the latest, the guys over at Engadget have stumbled across yet more of the “N94? prototypes that have been doing the rounds over the weekend. Besides a dot alongside the sensor location above the earpiece, the prototype looks pretty much identical to the iPhone 4, which sheds even more light on the entry-level iPhone which has been reported on many times in recent weeks.

The device, which has been dubbed the iPhone 4S, has been purported as a potential springboard for the promotion of iCloud, which was announced by former CEO Steve Jobs at WWDC ’11. The service, which aims to keep all account-linked iDevices syncing in perfect harmony with each other as well as giving users additional cloud space, will certainly restore some confidence in Apple’s web and internet ventures if the excitement displayed by Jobs when announcing is warranted with the final product.

Although ardent iPhone heads will, money permitting, almost certainly go for the iPhone 5, the mass market of casual users and teens are very likely to grab a less-featured iPhone with a reasonable amount of space (presumably 8GB), which will cater to all calling, texting, music, video, and time-passing needs. The reason that the iPod touch has continued to be successful despite lagging behind its smartphone counterpart in terms of features is because such users can get, to a degree, the iPhone experience minus the hefty price tag and the phone part of course. Apple will be hoping that by giving such markets the ability to call and text for their money, on T-Mobile and Sprint as well as Verizon and AT&T, they can subsequently convert a great deal more consumers to the iPhone way of thinking.

With the Cupertino company making preparations here, there and everywhere in anticipation of the launch, more and more people are gaining access to leaks and information regarding the final product. Here at Redmond Pie, we’ve pretty much covered the good, the bad and the downright ugly in terms of purported iPhone 5 designs, ideas, and leaks, and this will most certainly not be the last as we countdown to the official announcement, so stay tuned!

We have heard a lot about the HTC Bliss, a new device aimed at woman, we have no clear idea how the device, but we have some screenshots of this device which shows us that it is running HTC Sense UI. The sense UI used in this device looks a bit different from the one used in the latest devices like the Sensation and Evo 3D.

The lockscreen is similar to the one used in Sense 3.o but the homescreen looks very different, in the second screenshot, to the left we can see applications like the Browser, market, etc. These applications also look like widgets, I guess we have to just wait and watch what these widgets/apps work.

Also we can see that HTC is not using their usual bottom bar which has the app drawer, phone and preferences, instead we can see a small circular option to the left which launches the app drawer and another one to the right which opens the phone application. These screenshots sure look different and even though people are calling it Sense UI 3.5, I think that it is a tweaked Sense 3.0 UI specially for the ladies.

Well all we can do is wait for HTC to confirm that they have been working on a new Sense UI and its functions, till then we will be trying to get a clear view of this new device by HTC which is designed for woman.

Ahead of the September 1st launch , press shots of the HTC Omega have been revealed by PocketNow. The images reveal a Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) based handset. The handset appears to have a 3.7? capacitive touchscreen display.

The specs include a 1.5Ghz processor , 512MB of RAM. The rumored specs include an 8MP camera capable of capturing 720p video. The design is very similar to the HTC Flyer being finished in white and silver plastic. From our brief experience with WP7 Mango , the OS is extremely fluid and a joy to use. What about you ? Will you be going for the first Mango based phones or are you waiting for Nokia to show their cards ?

In past few months, Sony Ericsson launched some amazing looking devices and Xperia Arc is worth mentioning. Xperia Arc is not the best Android device available but personally I think it’s one of the most beautiful looking devices. Last month, we saw first ever leaked shot of the Xperia Duo twice but it was blurry. Now another leaked shot of Xperia Duo is posted on a Chinese forum known as IT168 and it’s also a press shot, but this is currently the best and the most clear shot of it, and trust me the device looks sexier than Arc. Well, beauty is there but what’s under the hood of this beast?

DigiTech is reporting that it will feature a dual-core 1.4 GHz processor, and it will be either Qualcomm MSM8260 or ST-Ericsson’s U8500 or A9500 dual-core processor, but most likely it will be Qualcomm or maybe SE will launch it with their very own processor. It will feature a powerful 12 MP camera with a next generation Exmor R CMOS sensor, and you all may know that Xperia X10 and Arc camera is also amazing, so I am sure that Duo camera will be breathtaking. It will also offer 1080p HD video recording along with image stabilization. It will feature a huge 4.5 Inch touchscreen display with qHD display and Sony Mobile BRAVIA engine which will make the viewing experience even better. It will also feature NFC capability, and it will feature 1.5 GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, and a huge 2500 mAh battery. It’s rumored that Sony Ericsson will be launching it in September, but still take this all with grain of salt, because rumors can’t be trusted.

Well, that’s all we know about this device so far but if it’s true, then I am sure this device will be a very big challenge for devices like Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation. So who’s looking forward to it?

Samsung Romania’s Twitter account seems to have tweeted information and specifications of the Google Nexus Prime which is said to be manufactured by Samsung.

The device reportedly has a 720p HD (1280×720 pixels) screen (Super AMOLED HD) and will be the first phone to run Google’s Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS Version 4.0.

Prime is the codename but it might end up being launched officially as the Nexus Prime itself.

There might be more than one Ice Cream Sandwich device launched at the same time with rumours indicating that Motorola and LG might launch their devices on networks such as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile etc.

In last few months, HTC launched several Android devices like the HTC Flyer, EVO 3D and HTC Sensation. All of them are amazing devices and now HTC is looking forward to introduce some new devices, but this time they might be launching WP7 devices. We recently saw the unannounced HTC Mazaa and it seems it’s not the only device HTC is working on. HTC-Inside got their hands on first leaked images of HTC Eternity which is said to be one of the first WP7 devices running on Mango. HTC Eternity looks like a promising device and it will be running on a 1.5 GHz single-core processor, 4.7 Inch AMOLED display, 8 MP camera with LED flash and 1.3 MP front-facing camera, 16 GB of internal storage, 512 MB of ram and 1,650 mAh battery.

Specs are nice but as dual-core is becoming a trend, maybe people who are looking forward to dual-core WP7 devices might be disappointed but let’s wait for some official words from HTC. Hopefully, HTC will be launching this device later this fall as other WP7 Mango devices are also coming in this period.

So anyone looking forward to this huge-WP7 device?

Recently Motorola launched the Milestone 3 in China which is actually successor to Milestone 2 which is known as Droid 2 in USA. Now its turn for the US version to come out which will be known as the Droid 3. We recently heard that Verizon will launch it on July 7th but it was just a rumor however Droid Life got their hands on a leaked screenshot which confirms it that Verizon will be launching it on July 7th via Direct Fill and it will hit all other Verizon stores on July 14th. As we also heard that BestBuy will be launching it on July 14th so it means Droid 3 will hit all other Verizon stores and some retailers on the given date.

Also our friends over at PocketNow claims that Droid 3 will be a global phone like Droid 2 Global and it will feature a 1 GHz dual-core processor, probably TI OMAP. At the moment, there are no words on the price of it but you can expect it around $199.99 with a 2-yr contract. Droid 3 looks like a promising successor to the famous Droid line and I am sure all Droid fans are looking forward to it. It will feature a 5-row keyboard which is a new addition to the traditional QWERTY keyboard, an 8-MP camera with dual-LED flash and a front-facing camera for video calling. Well, the phone really packs some good specs, no?

So anyone in USA looking forward to Droid 3?

HP recently launched their first ever WebOS tablet which is known as HP TouchPad. TouchPad seems to be a good tablet and it was launched in USA earlier this month. Now it looks like HP is planning to expand their TouchPad line, according to a roadmap leaked by PreCentral. HP will be launching 64GB Wi-Fi version of TouchPad with white glossy finish and it will feature a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, instead of 1.2 GHz. It will be a good deal for people who are looking forward to a sexy version of TouchPad with more internal memory and I think 64GB is more than enough for a tablet, no?

Another good news is that HP is also planning to launch 4G version of TouchPad. It will be launched as HP TouchPad 4G, it will be available in 32GB version and it will support AT&T HSPA+ network. It will be available in black glossy version like the original and probably there will be no difference between this and 32GB Wi-Fi version, only addition of the 4G radio. HP is making it a better choice for people who want to surf on the web right on the go as Wi-Fi version is only limited to your home, office or any other place with Wi-Fi network, but I am sure you will be able to check out the your email or Facebook any where you want with this upcoming 4G tablet.

Now some bad news, we recently told you about the HP Opal which is going to be a 7-Inch WebOS tablet and we heard that it will be out next month but the roadmap is telling us that it will be out in fall. Maybe we heard wrong before as this leaked shot is a “confidential HP product”, but let’s take it with a grain of salt. Another bad news is that Pre 3 is also coming in fall but maybe this is only for US as it’s up for pre-order in UK and scheduled for mid-July launch, so let’s see what happens.

That’s all for now folks and more to come next year I think. Well, I didn’t see anything about the keyboard-less WebOS device which was liked by all WebOS fans, maybe HP is keeping it as a surprise or planning to launch it later this year. Anyway, share your thoughts with us in the comment box below.

Sony Ericsson have just prematurely announced the XPERIA Arc at CES (Consumer Electronics Show). It is in fact the same model that we previously referred to as the XPERIA X12/Anzu.

Initially the rumours stated that the phone would be announced in February at MWC (Mobile World Congress) but at the CES Expo, Sony Ericsson had placed various teasers of the phone and this is the phone in the teasers.

The phone gets its name from the unique arc shaped back. The design looks very similar to the XPERIA X10 but better.

Today, we saw the HTC Thunderbolt in an ad; along with the HTC Inspire 4G. Verizon will announce the Thunderbolt anytime because the CES event is going on now, but our friends over at AndroidSpin got their hands on the HTC Thunderbolt ahead of the launch, and they are also sharing some information with us about the phone. It looks like the specs we heard about the Thunderbolt are fake because AndroidSpin is saying that the device comes with following spec:

ARM v7 processor, Single Core, 1 GHz 8 GB internal memory, (32 GB SD card included) 4.3 inch screen NO HDMI port 8 MP rear camera, 1.3 MP front-facing camera Runs the new HTC Sense UI on top of Android 2.1.2 HTC Maps and Navigation is included DLNA support via an HTC preinstalled app

Keep in mind that these specs are not final, so before making any final decision, wait for official announcement from Verizon and HTC. I hope Verizon will clear the air any time, so folks stay tuned with us!
