New iPad event rumored for 22nd October

After Apple announced the new iPhone last month, many people were left wondering when the next iPad and iPad mini would arrive.

It now looks like an event is being scheduled for 22nd October to show off these new products, which just so happens to be the same day Nokia are holding an event in Abu Dhabi to show off some new phones and a possible tablet.

 

Possible upgrades for the mini are a new 8 megapixel back camera for better photos, more 4G bands to allow other networks to use their 4G technology, and a retina display to bring it in line with the larger model.

The iPad mini has some tough competition now from the most recent Nexus 7 tablet, so it will be interesting to see what Apple can pull out of the bag.

Apple have yet to confirm an event yet, this normally happens about a week before the actual date but many sites have had the date of the 22nd October all but confirmed.

Now that we have plenty of photographic evidence to prove the existence of the HTC One Max phablet, the next piece of the puzzle is the supersized smartphone’s release date. According to one ePrice user, the HTC Max One might be revealed around October 17th, well over a month after the cell phone unveiling extravaganza that was IFA 2013. The same user also says that the phone will carry a 23,900 NTD ($809 USD) price tag. The rumored specs for the phone include a 5.9-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, a 5-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Nexus 5 to reportedly launch in October with mid-range price tag

11:35 AM

We’ve seen it in photos, we’ve seen it in videos, and beginning sometime in October we’ll finally see the new Nexus 5 on the virtual shelves of Google’s Play store. Following earlier reports that pointed to a late October release for Google’s next “pure Google” phone, Digitimes on Wednesday cited anonymous Taiwan-based component makers in claiming that Google’s Nexus 5 will indeed be released sometime in October. The site adds that LG will build the phone, it will run Android 4.4 KitKat and it’ll be priced to compete with mid-range smartphones. With rumored specs that include a 5-inch display, a 13-megapixel camera, 2GB or 3GB of RAM and a 2,700 mAh battery, a mid-range price tag could make the new Nexus 5 tough to resist.

The tweet just says simply…

After many leaks recently we assume this is for the new ‘phablet’ phone called the Lumia 1520.

This new Lumia is expected to pack a large 6 inch display with a resolution of 1080p, a first for Windows Phone, plus pack at least 16GB of internal storage, a 20 megapixel ‘PureView’ camera and run the latest update to the OS adding more features we are yet to have confirmed.
