The folks at Gizmodo Australia have got their hands on what they're saying is training material for the soon-to-be-released (we hope) Nexus tablet. They're saying the tablet will be a 7-incher built by ASUS and be debuted at Google I/O this week just as expected. The specs are also pretty close to everyone's guess:
7-inch 1280×800 IPS Display
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (not confirmed to be 5.0 just yet)
1.3GHz Quad-Core Tegra 3 CPU
NVIDIA GPU
1GB RAM
8GB / 16GB Internal Storage
1.2MP Front Camera
8 Hours Battery Life
Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
NFC
The materials suggest the tablet will go up for sale in Australia sometime in July, so we expect it in the very near future in other places on the globe. Source : AndroidCentral
That leaves a few things left to wonder -- will it come in white? And what's the reason to buy it over any of the other Android tablets out there. We're half kidding about the first bit (although it would look very nice in white), but for the second there is one thing we know of to make it worthwhile -- updates direct from Google, with no carrier or OEM bull**** involved.
If you want an Android tablet, that's the one to get. If you need a reason to buy an Android tablet in the first place, we're hoping to see one this week at Google I/O.

Did you really trust Gizmodo?

I would like to see an SD slot and HDMI. I could see them leaving out HDMI to try to cut costs, but no SD slot is very Apple like and they did it with the Galaxy Nexus so I wouldn't be surprised.
I refuse to buy a device without expandable memory, my Touchpad was the exception since it was on the fire sale. There are plenty of free cloud services but data is expensive. microSD cards are cheaper and more reliable for storage than the cloud.

This could be real, given the way pictures were taken showing all the views. Unless they've covered it with 2 layers of plastic to hide the titanium coating :cyclops:

Newest Nokia WP7 leak.

Here is a little snippet from the article that you can find HERE
“Eldar Murtazin, the eternal Nokia antagonist, claims to have the inside scoop on Nokia’s current Windows Phone device plans while getting an early hands-on with a prototype. Besides demonstrating a natural extension of the Nokia naming strategy to accommodate the new Windows Phone devices, Eldar tells us that model W7 is built around an X7 hardware base while the new W8 handset is a variant of Nokia’s N8 cameraphone (conceptualized in the above pic). According to Eldar, all of Nokia’s WP prototypes are built upon Qualcomm chipsets per Microsoft’s requirement (and Nokia’s dismay). The W7 model is currently being used in-house for development purposes and will likely be the first to market, according to Eldar, with an 8 megapixel autofocus camera and flash.”
In the article you can see information about Dual core also, i mean if they dont put out dual core, they are gonna loose it.
I'm waiting for

let me know when it comes out.
windows 7 on nokia phones is a good thought! But I think they should also have android phones...
I bet enthusiasts will install Android on the WP7 phones once they are out
The touchscreen and 2.X-hype has killed a lot of other features in cellphones. What happened to the real xenon based flash? Today, only Nokia use them in their cellphones and i H-A-T-E slowbian.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well kinda agree with you
just say, i love android more.
Nice phones though Look nicer than their Symbian devices
Nokia could well be the solution to embracing the average consumer to WP7!
Still have my 3310 to this very day and it works 100% as well (despite pretty hard abuse - dropped down a full flight of stairs, case broke but easily replaced back in the day with a massive variety of available aftermarket ones)

Samsung Nexus Prime Support Page Surfaces; Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich Smartpho

We have been hearing a lot about Samsung’s upcoming smartphone called the Nexus Prime. The handset, said to come powered by Google’s latest OS Android 4.0, is again in the news as part of the run up to a roll out date. If you remember, we had sometime ago spotted the device carrying the model number GT-I9250 with a Wi-Fi certification. The latest is that a support page for the GTI9250 has come up on the Samsung website. The funny part is that the page is almost blank. Also, a leak has brought to the fore a few specs of the phone.
If you head for the page here, you will be able to see tabs that have Downloads, FAQs, How-to Guides, and Troubleshooting features. In case you are looking for some details on the phone, let us tell you there’s nothing about the device on the page you are looking at.
Leaked specs of the phone have revealed a 4.65-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720. The device would come with a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 5-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording.
We just hope the Super AMOLED technology will be integrated with the display as Samsung has been offering that in their latest devices. The 8.8mm thin handset enclosed in a metal chassis is likely to come with the curved display – something akin to what its predecessor, the Nexus S, had come with.
It is believed that Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS will be rolled out in October. Chances are that the Nexus Prime would come powered by the new version of the OS.
In addition, the rumored specs and the latest blank page of the smartphone hint that we can expect a soon release of the Nexus Prime during the same month.

Really looking forward to seeing this phone and what new features ICS brings to the smartphone table!

This can be the Samsung Galaxy S4, S Pen-like Finger Hover Feature Included

The purported pictures and video of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that leaked over the last week may be closer to the actual device than we had initially imagined. In a new set of pictures released by Chinese site it168, we get not only beautiful photos of a similar device, but beautiful photos of a device that might be the real deal.
The phone in these pictures looks very similar to last year’s Galaxy S3, but there are subtle differences here and there that Samsung will likely push. You can see textured finishes, a more polished gem-like home button, one hell of a vibrant display (1080p Super AMOLED?), massive centered camera and flash (13MP?), lower speaker, and a silver band wrapping the sides.
The Chinese forum with the device is reporting that it’s running an Exynos 5410 Octa processor clocked at 1.8GHz with PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU. This is the GT-I9502 (same as previous leak), weighs 138g, measures 7.7mm thick, includes 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage with a microSD slot and is powered by a 2600mAh battery.
But beyond specs, the device apparently has an S Pen-like feature that we have seen on the Galaxy Note 2, though it doesn’t require you to use an S Pen. It involves your finger hovering close to the display without actually touching it. In places like the gallery, Samsung will allow you to hover your finger ever-so-close to the display to see a pop-up preview of imagery. This identical feature is already in the Note 2, but again, requires the S Pen. This feature appears to work the same without a pen.
If this is indeed the Galaxy S4, we’d love to hear your final thoughts. We are less than 24 hours away from its unveiling, so give it to us!

I am wondering what are the marks taking place on each side of the home button...

[ROM] TabTronics FT10 rk3188 - Custom ROM Firmware

If you have bought one of these tabs and are as unhappy about it as I was then read on.
THESE ARE IN NO WAY 'FLYTOUCH 10' MODELS!
I know what it says in the about page but anyone can spoof a model name in build.prop. These are in fact SuperPad 10s http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/10-RK3188-quad-core-android-4_1622115746.html Look familiar?
TabTronics lie about the spec of these devices (NO GPS and only 1.4ghz NOT 1.6)! I got mine for free because they wanted me to keep my mouth shut about their false advertising. Just shows how dodgy some people can be.
Anyway, I now have a FREE rk3188 tab to play with. First off spec. The parts inside this tab seem to be a mix of rk3066 and rk3188 gear (Notice the Flytouch 9 is the same form factor and an rk3066?).
Ive seen 2 versions of this firmware now. the one it came with (which was a mix of an M8Pro and a TV stick firmware) and the one on their site (the better one).
Ive built a basic version of the firmware on the site and it runs well!
spec:
2Gb Internal storage (More games/apps) at the cost of external storage (12Gb Free)
De-Bloated
De-Odexed
init.d support
CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3
Cant remember if its fully rooted but I can show you how if it isnt
Antutu score is around 18k depending on what im doing. Boot time seems to get longer and longer, not sure if its the apps im running or an issue with the firmware (more testing needed). I usually get above the Samsung S3 so that keeps me happy
I fully intend to develop this rom and maybe at some point expand it to other platforms. If anyone is interested in helping me with this project then please pm me
Anyway, here is the link, use batchtool and do a restore (may need to format the internal card on first boot), takes about 10 mins to do the initial setup so dont worry, it hasnt stalled
DOWNLOAD
I hope this helps someone somewhere get the best out of this device. Feel free to comment, good or bad

Bought it for $200 right from the promotion-sale and after a few days of playing with it I started looking for a firmware, the phone will need some tweaks. I mean, it's a cheap phone with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage but there is some issues with the software, it 'forgets' my fingerprints for example, or reverts to the factory launcher after every reboot - the phone doesn't like my Nova launcher.
...on the second thought, I decided to get my money back, lose 3.5mm jack connection -see the zip attachment, no OTA can fix that. Too bad, I was hoping to have some fun with this phone.
12/21/18 Update
I was curious to see if Gearbest continues selling the Poptel P60 despite having non ISO compliant 3.5mm phone jack and found out that they're trying to correct the problem by shipping it with additional “headphone adapter”, so people can use it:
Package Contents
Cell Phone: 1
Charger: 1
Earphones Adapter: 1
SIM Needle: 1
USB Cable: 1
That adapter wasn't included when I bought the phone back in November, I have my money back already refunded to my Paypal acct., it turns out that Gearbest Customer Service works very well, they have an US agent in California, the return went there shipped with 2-day 1st class USPS and they issued refund right away. No hustles at all.
