  • Google Reportedly Prepping $99 Nexus 7 Tablet

    Google revealed the highly acclaimed Nexus 7 tablet running the Mountain View’s latest operating system Android 4.1 Jelly Bean back in June. The tablet went on receive rave reviews and sell relatively good thanks to its low price and performance. Now according to latest rumors Google is planning on releasing a $99 version of the Nexus 7 tablet.

    The Nexus 7 hit stores with a 7-inch HD IPS display, a Quad Core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and was the first device to run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.

    The smaller form factor tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 have proved to be huge competition for Apple and its iPad tablet, the Cupertino based company is also expected to launch a 7.85-inch iPad Mini later this year but looks like Google is fully prepared for it.

  • New iPhone (iPhone 5?) Backplate Photos Leaked

    Big leaks coming in today, two different iPhone parts suppliers have leaked images of what they claim are of the next iPhone’s backplates to two different tech news sites. iFixyouri has provided 9to5Mac with images of a black backplate of the next iPhone (or iPhone 5 depending on what you’d like to call it). The images show off the phone’s new form factor, the rumored redesigned dock connector port and some empty space at the bottom which supposedly is where Apple will place the enhanced speakers.

    Along with the aforementioned image, 9to5Mac has also received some higher resolution images showing off both the white and black iPhone 5 along with a black front plate where Apple has apparently relocated the Facetime camera to above the earpiece.

    The second parts supplier uBreakiFix has leaked its set of images of a white iPhone 5 to Engadget. These images are similar to iFixyouri’s images except for the different styling on the bottom edges of the phones.

    Check out all the images mentioned in the gallery below (click to enlarge).

  • MacBook Pro Refresh With Retina Display, New Ultra Slim Design And USB 3.0 Rumored For This Summer

    Apple’s obviously gonna upgrade the MacBook Pro with Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge processors but according to 9to5Mac, news around the supply chain is that the 2012 MacBook Pro will feature a brand new ultra slim design like the Macbook Air although a bit thicker, retina display screen with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 and a few of them much awaited USB 3.0 ports.

    The site claims Apple will omit the slot loading DVD drive and will replace the eject button with the power button. The new MBPs also do not feature any Ethernet ports like the MacBook Air although you shouldn’t worry much as you can always grab an adapter.

    Apple’s going all out on introducing high resolution Retina Display in their devices, they started back with the iPhone 4 and recently with the iPad 3 so why shouldn’t the MacBook get any attention? The 15-inch MacBook Pro is reported to have a resolution of 2880 x 1800 which is double the resolution of the current MacBook Pro i.e 1440 x 900.

    Lastly the addition of USB 3.0 is plausible as Intel have introduced SuperSpeed USB with their Ivy Bridge processors. If you still want to know more than you should better check out these GeekBench scores which show a healthy performance upgrade.

    We’re betting on the new MacBook Pro being announced at the upcoming WWDC conference, what do you think?

  • iPhone 5 Prototypes Received By Carriers, Production To Start Shortly

    According to a new report it seems that partner carriers with Apple have started receiving iPhone 5 prototype sets for testing. This is for last minute tests so that the models are in pristine working conditions before full productions starts.

    The source of this report is Charles Arthur editor at The Guardian who claims that sources state the next iPhone’s boxes being received by carriers all around the world.

    my carrier sources tell me that the boxes in which the new iPhone hardware is encased have been transported to carriers for testing. This is an important step in the release cycle for any phone.

    It’s very high security, as you could guess; my understanding is that barely anyone inside the carriers gets to open those boxes

    With just a month or two to go to it’s pretty much expected release date it couldn’t be anything other than the next iPhone in the black boxes from Apple.. could it?

  • Apple Re-releases iPhone Ads With New Just One More Thing That Makes An iPhone, An iPhone Ads

    Remember those if you don’t have an iPhone ads? Of course you do who doesn’t? Well the tagline was kinda rude so Apple re-released them today.

    The ads mainly focus on the distinguishing features of the iPhone, previous ads were about the App Store, FaceTime and AirPlay. At the end of the ad the narrator would say “If you don’t have an iPhone, well, you don’t have an iPhone!” followed by tears running down the eyes of people who don’t own iPhones.

    The ad’s description is as follow:

    If you don’t have an iPhone, you don’t have the App Store. So you don’t have the world’s largest selection of apps; that are this easy to find and this easy to download right to your phone. So it can be almost anything… like a boarding pass. Or do almost anything… like pay for your coffee.

    The App Store – just one more thing that makes an iPhone, an iPhone.

    And now the ad itself:
