HTC planning on releasing the One Max phablet

HTC is continuing to fill it's One line, first with it's HTC One flagship and soon after that the One mini which is essentially the same phone with a smaller screen size. A few weeks ago HTC in association with Google released the One Google Play edition. Looks like now it's time for a change in screen size now for the bigger - the phablet One Max.

The 5,9 inch device is likely to hit the market very soon but the official reveal of the device is suspected to take place at the IFA fair in Berlin. This phone is made to follow the phablet trend and should be a direct competition to Samsung's Galaxy Note line and Sony Xperia's Z Ultra.

Like the rest of the upcoming phablets, HTC One Max should be running the strongest Qualcomm solution the Snapdragon 800 procesor and it should be paired with 2 GB of RAM. The phone will have 16 GB of storage capacity and a ( now standard HTC) high quality IPS LCD display with FullHD resolution. HTC Ultrapixel camera is a must but it's unknown if the sensor is going to get some megapixel upgrade. The phone should be running the latest version of Android Jelly Bean 4.3

Rumor Fridays - iPad Mini

We’re all thinking about the 12^th of September the ‘’big’’ Apple event where we all thing we will see a new iPhone, but a rumor has been circling  around for a month or more now talking about not only a new iPhone but a new iPad. The rumored device is a smaller 7 inch iPad mini or ''nano'' if you like.

                This device as said has been rumored for quite some time now, sources saying about a smaller, cheaper iPad which would be a competition to the Kindle Fire (the Fire 2 is expected to come out some time in September also) and Google Nexus 7. This device was less likely to hit the market when Steve Jobs was still alive as a big hater of screens smaller than 9.7 inches saying that smaller screened tablets were not "sufficient to create great tablet apps" and would be "dead on arrival" but in the biography about Steve Jobs there was a line saying that Steve said yes to this 7 inch smaller iPad idea just before he died so this might contribute to the rumors.

                This device would have a 7 inch screen, running iOS 6 (it would be interesting to see what iOS would look like on this size screen), maybe a back iSight camera and a front facing VGA camera (?),the new rumored 9 pin connector, dual-core A5x chip well we think it will have the specifications of the 3^rd gen iPad but would that make for a cheaper tablet?

                Well now all that remains is to wait for a week or two to see if we are going to see a iPad mini or not and if we see it what the specifications and price are going to be. 

Rumour Fridays - Galaxy Note 2

This friday we bring you the rumour and our thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 the phone/tablet also know as phablet.
This hybrid has a screen of 5.3 inches which is massive. Till now it has been sold in 10 million copies. And after this succes we bring you the latest rumours about the Galaxy Note 2.

1. The Note 2 will be announced at IFA Berlin this year. IFA Berlin is held every year and this year will be on 31st August till 5th of September.


2. Even larger screen? - there were a few rumour that the second generation of this phablet will have a even bigger screen size up to 5.5 inces but retaining the same size of the phone.

3. S Pen- we think that we will be seeing some enhancements to the S Pen and some S apps (which are used with the S Pen). If you didn't know the S Pen is now used in the first gen Note and the new Note 10.1 tablet.

4. Precessing power - We think and hope that the Note 2 will have a quad core chipset making it realy fast and smooth.

5. Better cameras - every new gen phone that comes out has a better camera system then the last gen. The first gen Note had a 8 MP camera with LED flash, the Note 2 will probably have a 10 or 12 MP with dual LED flash.

This console is a bit special to the world of gaming because it's based on Android, and that's great becouse you can play every game that's on Google Play and developers will be making games specialy for this console. The conole it's self is really compact, and has a great industrial design from metal and plastic.

The special thing about this console and the OUYA project is that it got 9,5 million $ in founding on Kickstarter, in the first day they got 2,5 million $ but innicialy they only needed 950,000 $.
