Only recently launched the iPad in April and are already talking about the next generation of tablet Apple , which currently call iPad 5. According to sources close to a Japanese blog, Apple will launch the new iPad in March.
It is also said that the device will save some similarities with the iPad Mini as it will not only thinner, but also lighter than the current model. We further expect that differs in one thing: the screen resolution, since the Mini is pathetic.
If this device is actually released in March, surely many of the people who bought an iPad 4 will be somewhat angry with apple to launch new iPads every few months.
Also worth noting that the same Japanese blog reports that an improved version of iPad Mini is in the oven and use a Retina display with A6X processor, a CPU that is equal to the current iPad.

Lately smartphones manufacturers are thinking that it is better the larger screen of the new device they have created, but it actually is not. Soon there will be virtually no difference between the size of a tablet and a smartphone , so we'll be talking on the phone while holding up a brick next to our ear. The Galaxy Note II 5.5 inch was a bit extreme for many, but the grand prize goes to the Huawei Ascend Mate, a new phablet which measures no less than 6.1 inches and I'm sure just won the award for smartphone world's largest.
The phone originally was to be presented at CES 2013, but it seems that has leaked a couple of weeks before.
And what is the hardware that makes this Android phone? Well as we said has a 6.1 inch screen with full HD resolution, but also carries a powerful quad-core processor at 1.8GHz and has a large 4000mAh battery. Its density is 361 pixels per inch, surpassing even the Retina display of the iPhone 5.
It is expected that the price of Huawei Ascend Mate is nearly $ 500.

Usually the cheap tablets are often of poor quality, but in this case we have one that is good quality and low price as well: the Acer Iconia B1. It is a device that many rumors but nothing confirmed officially. Will it be able to compete with the Nexus 7 Asus and Google ? Probably not, since their specifications are a bit poor in comparison.

When the app maps Google iOS 6 was released several days ago ago, soon positioned at the top of the download list and only 48 hours had been downloaded 10 million times. 4 days ago I commented that many people had upgraded to iOS in June following the departure of that application, but the truth is that not due to this, but to something else: the launch of the iPhone 5 in China.
Last week not only was the launch of Google Maps, but also the launch of the new iPhone in mainland China, where in just three days were sold over 2 million units of the device.
This was verified by an analysis that was done a couple of days ago. Looking back slightly, up 29% updates seems much so that only one application can pull it off, do not you think?
