iPhone 5 to use Exynos quad-core processor architecture


Most of the speculation surrounding the iPhone 5 has been focused on the exterior of the smartphone. More specifically, it is expected Apple will increase the size of the touchscreen display to around 4-inches, which in turn could mean a larger handset, or a phone with a very thin bezel around the larger display.

A larger screen will also mean a higher resolution in order to retain that very effective marketing term: Retina Display. For that to happen Apple will need to upgrade the processor powering the iPhone 5, and apparently the architecture and design has now been chosen.

A Kindle phone could be next from Amazon



While rumors of an updated Kindle Fire and larger models continue to swirl, Bloomberg is now offering up yet another speculative tidbit for the tech world to mull. According to a pair of sources their reporters spoke with, Amazon is getting ready to launch a Kindle smartphone.

Wearable computing: Testing Epson’s Moverio BT-100 Android-powered 3D glasses


Google might be well on their way with Project Glass, but that’s not going to stop other wearable computer hopefuls from getting their product on the market beforehand. Google’s got a specific design in mind, but there’s still plenty of room in the wearable tech world to make something cool. One of those companies is Epson with their Moverio BT-100 wearable display.

Apple pays $60 million to keep the iPad on shelves in China




Apple has been fighting a long battle with Chinese company Proview over the right to use the name “iPad” in China. The issue stems from the sale of the iPad name copyright to Apple in 2009 for $54,000. The sale was handled by UK company IP Application Development on behalf of Proview Taiwan, but parent company Proview Technology deemed the sale invalid, and therefore claims it still owns the copyright to the name.

Google Nexus 10 tablet coming soon



Google finally took the wraps off the Nexus 7 tablet this week — and put it up for sale at just $199. Now, it looks like they’re getting ready to release a second model: the Nexus 10. As you probably guessed, it’ll feature a 10-inch display. Like its 7-inch sibling, the Nexus 10 is going to feature an extremely tempting price tag: $299.

Ice Cream Sandwich seen running on Asus Netbook



When we think of Asus in the Android world, we think of their Transformer line of tablets first and foremost. But one of the beauties of Android is its open nature, and what enterprising developers can do with it. One such set of developers have crafted together a version of Ice Cream Sandwich that runs on an Asus netbook, demonstrated here on an Asus EeePC X101Ch.

Kainy remote desktop app brings PC games to Android (video)

Hoping to cash in on that buzz, a $5 app called "Kainy" has appeared on Google Play that promises to bring PC games to Android handsets at up to 60fps with customizable control interfaces,

The new iPad gets torn apart




iFixit have gone above and beyond by flying to Australia and queuing up to get one of the first new iPads just to dismantle it. And as they have come to expect, Apple has continued the tradition of making the tablet very difficult to disassemble and therefore repair outside of an Apple Store.

Apple copies Microsoft, wants $15 per Android device sold


Microsoft has taken a lot of heat for its spate of Android patent licensing deals. Just about everyone who builds Android phones or tablets (or Chrome OS notebooks) has signed on the dotted line with the suits in Redmond. The goal, of course, is to avoid lengthy, expensive litigation and provide both sides with access to the all-important contents of each others’ patent portfolios.

Google pays Apple $1 billion to be search default


It seemed like an impressive win for Mozilla when the new three-year, $900 million deal with Google was announced. The Foundation derives the bulk of its funding from that search deal and in return Google gets billions of search hits. But that deal may pale in comparison to what Google pays Apple.

According to one analyst, they could be coughing up as much as $1 billion to be the default search engine in Safari on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac systems. There’s plenty of number-crunching that went on to arrive at this figure, but there’s many reasons to believe it’s at least in the ballpark. No phone has been more sought-after than the iPhone since its debut, and the same is true of tablets and the iPad.

Business Insider brings a little hyperbole into the equation, saying that if the iPad continues to grow that it’ll surpass PCs in 5 years — at which point an Apple switch to another search provider could be devastating for Google. They base this speculation on the recent news that iPhoto has dropped Google Maps as a location provider, which some feel is an indication that Apple no longer needs Google at all.

Does the new iPad’s name set the stage for the iPad mini?




As yesterday’s iPad event approached, we wondered what could happen that would surprise us. The day came and went, and it turns out that the biggest surprise had to do with the tablet’s name. No iPad 3, no iPad HD, not even iPad 2S. Instead Apple gave us “the new iPad.”

Best Android antivirus apps revealed by AV-TEST Labs


There have been several Android Market malware scares in the recent past. Google responded by introducing Bouncer a while back, but it never hurts to add a good Android antivirus app for extra protection. But which apps offer the best protection?

Independent testing authority AV-TEST Labs has just posted the results from its most recent Android security rundown. Of the 41 apps they tested, 7 posted detection scores above 90%: Avast!, Dr. Web Antivirus Light, F-Secure Mobile Security, IKARUS mobile.security LITE, Kaspersky Mobile Security Lite, Lookout, and Zoner Antivirus Free.

Google Play: What it is, why it’s important, and what it needs to succeed



Google has been slowly moving into digital content distribution services for a little over a year now. The last update to the Android Market included the integration of Google Music, Google Video, and Google Books. The services, in the countries they are available in, are even available on the android market website, and included the ability to purchase any content and have it exist anywhere. The services were sort of bolted on, and many felt offered as a consolation prize for users who were willing to accept Google as their one and only. The package was a distant third behind iTunes and Amazon, who were both offering similar services for their platforms.

Google boosts maximum Android app size to 4GB

It’s a darn good thing most Android phones ship with a microSD expansion slot. Why? Because now that Google is allowing developers to submit Android apps and games up to 4GB in size, you’re going to need a little extra space.

The maximum size of a .APK hasn’t changed — they’re still limited to 50MB to “ensure secure on-device storage,” according to Google. The additional 4GB can be passed along in the form of two expansion files using whatever file type the developer chooses. When you browse an app in the Android Market that takes advantage of this expanded storage, you’ll see its total size displayed. That way you won’t be surprised when a 50MB

Archos announces kid-friendly 7-inch Ice Cream Sandwich tablet, dubbed ChildPad


Kids love to play with our tablets. They're colorful, active, and entertaining -- exactly what a kid likes (no matter what age). But many of us don't feel comfortable letting our kids handle a seemingly delicate, very expensive, piece of glass and plastic. Archos gets this, and they have announced the 7-inch ChildPad. Even better, they understand that we're reluctant to spend upwards of $500 on something that youngsters may very break, and have priced it at $129.

Ill let that sink in for a second -- $129.
