iPad 3 to land in 3-4 months tips sources
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 3
The rumors about the next-generation iPad are coming quickly. Another source is claiming that the new iPad 3 will land in the next 3-4 months. We heard a very similar rumor early in December that the iPad 3 was due to launch in February. That is a bit sooner than the latest rumor claims. According to the latest rumor, the makers of components for the iPad 3 have started to ship the parts to OEM contractors for assembly.
At the same time, the production and shipment of parts for the current generation tablets have been reduced according to the sources. Production of the iPad 2 is continuing at a brisk pace with 14-15 million units of the iPad 2 expected to be produced in Q4. The production wi...

Windows Defender beta gains 'offline' functionality, can run sans-OS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 7
PC users have been using Windows Defender to free themselves from the bane of viruses, malware and spyware for quite a while, but until now, you've needed Microsoft's OS running for it to do its work. That changes with a new beta, which creates bootable CDs or USB sticks that can run the utility. Those interested can begin by downloading the Windows Defender Offline Tool, which'll prompt you for either of those mediums and then install around 300MB of virus hating bits. And remember, because you're statically downloading an almanac of today's viruses, doesn't mean you'll be ready for those tomorrow, so those taking the plunge better remember to stay up to date.

This move could help boost YouTube as a hub for music videos, adding to the content that it already offers through its partnership with Vevo. This could also speed up licensing for Google’s own music store.

iPhone 4S gets Chinese network permit as Android widens lead
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Chinese iPhone 4S buyers received good news Saturday after it was confirmed that Apple's device had received a Network Access Permit from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology earlier in the week. The clearance will give the HSPA version of the phone approval to run on China Unicom's network. Its version is identical to that available elsewhere save for its support of the China-specific WAPI standard in place of the usual Wi-Fi.
In a conversation with Sohu, China Unicom added that it hoped to have the iPhone 4S on sale before the end of 2011, even with just under three weeks left in the year. It anticipates a 16GB version costing 4,999 yuan off-contract, or a steep $789.

Microsoft Silverlight 5 released, will it be the final version?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Microsoft
Yesterday, Microsoft released Silverlight 5, available on IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on both Mac and PC. The update adds hardware decoding for H.264 media, some new programming features for developers, and other performance improvements. Silverlight 5 may also be the end of the line for Silverlight. Windows 8 will support Silverlight 5 in full desktop mode, but the Metro-style browser will not and neither does Windows Phone.
More to the point, while Microsoft plans on supporting Silverlight 5 for ten years (which in itself may be a sign that it won't have a followup), the company is clearly more interested in directing developers to other frameworks for development, including Metro apps...

Update coming in less than two weeks for Amazon Kindle Fire
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAmazonKindle Fire
Sure, the Amazon Kindle Fire has been selling like the plate of proverbial hotcakes and is expected to be the top selling non-Apple tablet this quarter. But the growing legion of buyers is turning into a growing number of complaints with users upset with laggy touch-screen responsiveness and poor performance of the tablet in general. There is also no privacy to users of the tablet who can easily see what prior users were up to on the device. As a result, Amazon spokesman Drew Herdener promised the New York Times that an update to repair many of the problems would be sent out within two weeks. Amazon had already updated the tablet to software version 6.2 last month. Additionally, a usability ...

LG Spectrum (aka Verizon Revolution 2) shows itself in photos
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGSpectrum
The LG Spectrum, which is widely expected to be released as the Verizon Revolution 2, has made an appearance in pictures and there are some more specs rumored for the device, and it's all making the choice for Verizon customers much more difficult. As of last month, the Spectrum was still the name, but now it looks pretty official that this will be the Revolution 2.
The images look pretty solid. The device seems a bit slimmer than the original Revolution, which is no real surprise given the trend in handsets these days. Other than that, there isn't a lot to say from the images alone. However, the rumored specs for the device are also sounding pretty solid. The Revolution 2 is expected to be...

Android Market now allows sorting by version, device or rating
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Almost a week ago Google added some nice new bits of info to the web version of the Android Market, adding version numbers and device info to rating, and when we reported that, we noted that the new information wasn't exactly the most useful, because there was no way to sort or filter the reviews to what was most relevant to you. It looks like Google heard that, and took it to heart.
Now, reviews on the web Android Market not only offer the app version number and device associated with that review, but you can sort reviews to show specific devices, version numbers and even ratings. For the star ratings, reviews can be sorted to any rating. But, with other filters there are still a couple li...

Nokia Lumia 900 looking like a slim LTE device
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
More info has come out about the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900 (formerly the Nokia Ace), which will be the super-sized version of the Lumia 800 for the US market, and it looks like the device will be packing LTE, although as yet it is unclear what networks the phone will run on.
It is assumed that the device will be on AT&T, because AT&T has been the biggest supporter of Windows Phone devices among US carriers, and AT&T needs more flagship devices to push its newly forming LTE network. However, it is also possible that there will be a Verizon variant of the Lumia 900, because Verzion has said that it wanted to see more LTE devices from Windows Phone in order to support the platform. This may be ...

Nokia Lumia 800 also a Vodafone Netherlands best seller
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
We know the Nokia Lumia 800 is one of the best sellers on KPN, the largest Dutch network, but MyNokiaBlog reports the same is true at Vodafone Netherlands also, where it shares the lime light with such luminaries as the Samsung Galaxy S 2, HTC Sensation and iPhone 4.
An IDC analyst recently predicted only 380,000 Nokia Lumia 800’s would be sold over the 6 weeks it has been available. Considering the millions of handsets sold each quarter in Europe that seems a pretty low estimate for a best selling handset.

AT&T CEO says blocking T-Mobile merger will increase wireless prices
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileAT&T
AT&T chief executive officer Randall Stephenson recently said in a Captains of Industry interview with Bloomberg that blocking his company’s proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA will increase wireless prices for consumers. Stephenson explained that AT&T needs T-Mobile in order to expand its already strained network capacity, and that Congress doesn’t understand wireless policy. ”Regulators can’t keep up with the changes in the industry,” Stephenson said. AT&T recently withdrew its application from the FCC to acquire T-Mobile USA and said that it will first focus on a lawsuit brought against the merger by the Department of Justice. Should AT&T win the lawsuit, which is expected to...

Clues in BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 suggest new BlackBerry tablet is coming with LTE support
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksRIM BlackBerry
According to N4BB, clues found in the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0, due out in February, suggest that a new BlackBerry tablet is coming with support for LTE connectivity and a screen resolution of 1280 x 768. The hint that the next RIM produced tablet would have support for LTE came from images found on the BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 OS Developer Beta. Icons were found showing a 4G and a 4G LTE logo. These are the top banner images that you would find alongside other notifications. RIM had been planning for a 4G version of the original PlayBook with Sprint originally saying that it would release a WiMax enabled version until they decided against offering such a device.
