The Google branded slate will probably be sporting a 1280×720 res screen, 2GB of RAM, 32GB SSD, Nvidia Tegra 2 graphics, GPS, webcam, and will connect using WiFi and 3G.
A release date of November 26th (for those that love to join the shopping crush this is also called Black Friday!) and according to the source it will be sold through Verizon at a subsidised price or even for free on contact – OUCH! All that might hurt iPad.
You hold out til you find the phone for you, you pay your money and sign up to a contract enslaving your soul for 18 months or more and then rumours of a replacement for the handset that you’ve just bought are released.
Bugger!
Those of you that have just collected your new HTCDesire may want to read a different article.
The Desire HD packs a 4.3 WVGA capacitive touchscreen with the obligatory 1GHZ Qualcomm processor purring away under the hood.
That rather conspicuous camera lens is an 8 megapixel snapper which will happily record 720p HD video.
You’ll also get SRS surround sound and auto face-detection.
Those with a current HTC Desire (sorry again) will notice that the headphone jack has migrated south and is now situated at the bottom of the phone and that the four Android hard buttons have changed to become touch versions.
I’ve certainly been under the impression that AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) is the way that phone makers were going and when Steve Jobs announced that the iPhone 4′s display was going to be LCD not OLED there were questions asked. But, anyone that’s seen the retina display will agree that it’s quite special. Well, [...]
Looking for a sleek, minimalist designed phone but would rather it didn’t have a fruity name? Perhaps you should check this lovely piece of mobile geekahol.

More Google phone news my gadgety faithful. It seems that HTC’s Wildfire, which was named by way of Facebook votes, is headed to Vodafone as they’ve announced that you can now register for the Android blower. The HTC Wildfire replaces the Tattoo but is so much more than just a bigger and better 3.2 inch [...]
Say hello to the first Windows Phone 7 handset – The HTC Mondrian. The HTC Mondrian apparently is only the codename for the device – which is a shame as the De Stijl artist Piet Mondrian is one of my favourite artists; but there you go. The name is a nod to the design of [...]
Here it is -The first 4G mobile phone! The HTC Evo 4G has said “hello world!” at the CTIA trade show over in the USA. The Evo 4G employs HTC’s Sense interface over Android 2.1.

HTC have been busy and have unveiled a number of new mobiles at the MWC. Thing is that, in my opinion, none of them look as lovely as the HTC Legend. The body is carved from a single piece of aluminum – Mmmmm….. unibody….. I hope Apple are watching! Under that gorgeous hood purrs Android [...]
My Geekahol partner and brother, Chris, and me had a bit of a tablet-based debate this morning via email and this fella cropped up into the conversation.

Ah, The Google Phone. That mythical, legendary and oft rumoured handset that has taunted the iPhone from the safe confines of non-Apple-lovin imaginations for the last couple of years. That is all set to change next month as the G-branded blower is (allegedly) ready to drop in a few weeks. Twitter reports from a CNet [...]
It seems that HTC are refusing to rest on their laurels even though the HTC HD2 (pictured) seems to be pretty impressive. Word has slipped out that the Taiwanese mobile manufacturer could be planning to launch 20 more Android-powered handsets. The names of the new devices appear to have been written inside a thread from [...]

It’s been a tad quiet out there in Microsoft Pink land seeing as the Zune has been capturing most of the headlines. But – now 9to5Mac of all places claims to have advanced word of what Microsoft Pink actually is…… Apparently Redmond HQ will be busting out a pair of smartphones, with the help of [...]
HTC is a name familiar to all those that would rather not carry an Apple handheld. The HTC Leo is set to become another bit of Smartphone business niceness packing Windows Mobile 6.5. The Leo sports an 800 x 480 screen that’s apparently running the capacitive touch system and measures a handsome 4.3″ in size. [...]
The HTC Hero was only launched in London a few weeks ago but news of another HTC smartphone is being whispered about on the interwebs. The name: HTC Leo. Could this be the HTC Firestone under a more astrological name? The twin-screened Leo seems to share more DNA with a DSi than a mobile and, [...]
