Amazon Planning More Android Gear Possibly a Smartphone

Posted: 14 May 2011 01:58 AM PDT

You probably know there's a rumour that Amazon may deliver an Android based tablet at some point in the future, but apparently one tablet isn't the only goal with Amazon as the word is Amazon is planning on an "entire family" of Android devices.

According to the Boy Genius Report by way of Android and me, this rumour comes via an industry insider with "direct knowledge of the project," although it isn't clear just what Android gear Amazon is contemplating.

There's speculation on different sized Android tablets, or an Amazon tablet and e-reader, and even speculation that Amazon could push out an Android based smartphone, although apparently the industry insider couldn't confirm which device would launch first.

Apparently when it comes to size and price, the source would like to see Amazon would put out a 9.7-inch colour tablet with a price tag of roughly $399 and a 4-inch smartphone for under $199.

Obviously all this is just rumour at present but if Amazon did deliver an Android tablet and smartphone would our readers be interested in purchasing one?

iPhone 5 Is 4S No LTE But Sprint & T-Mobile

Posted: 14 May 2011 01:36 AM PDT

The latest rumour on the next generation iPhone is now doing the rounds, rumours we've already hear before, that the iPhone 5 will be known as the iPhone 4S and will come packing the same A5 chip found in the Apple iPad 2.

According to an article over on 9to5 Mac by way of the Boy Genius Report, Forbes is reporting that Peter Misek, an analyst for Jefferies & Co in a note to investors reiterated these rumours claiming the iPhone 5 will be known as the iPhone 4S, have the A5 chip, HSPA+ support and better cameras.

However, more interesting is that Misek also stated that both T-Mobile and Sprint would pick up the iPhone 4S, and apparently the analyst's note is the first confident claim T-Mobile will gain the iOS smartphone and says Apple will announce deals with Sprint and T-Mobile before the holidays.

Misek also believes that the 4G LTE chip preferred by Apple isn't available in the vast quantities Apple would require and thus the iPhone 4S will not be 4G compatible.
