Two of T-Mobile USA’s upcoming high-end Android smartphones – the Samsung Hercules and the HTC Ruby – may not be released as soon as customers would hope.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available in Australia on September 1 despite Apple’s efforts
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 may have been temporarily banned in Europe (or at least in Germany) following Apple’s (desperate?) efforts that have turned into lawsuits and injunction requests, but Samsung seems intent on ignoring Apple and even a court ruling in Australia. Down under, it was thought that Apple managed to halt sales of [...]

HTC Pico images and details leak, looks like a slightly lower-end Wildfire S
HTC looks like it’s prepping a whole new batch of Android-powered smartphones for the near future (or perhaps the famed ‘holiday season’), since these days it’s basically HTC leak after HTC leak. Here’s another contender: the HTC Pico. As its name implies, this is a small(ish) device, at least smaller than HTC’s ‘usual’ high-end handsets. [...]

Last week, Apple determined a German regional court to stop Samsung from selling the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Honeycomb tablet across Europe.

HTC Puccini Android Honeycomb tablet launching in September on early October?
We’ve been hearing about the HTC Puccini since May, so it’s about time for the new tablet to be officially announced, wouldn’t you say? According to a report coming from a Taiwanese publication quoted by DigiTimes, the Puccini will be out in September, or in early October. Apparently, HTC’s CFO Winston Yung confirmed this. Unlike [...]

AT&T LG Thrill 4G gets delayed again, will be available on September 4
AT&T’s LG Thrill 4G was announced back in March, and it’s basically the carrier’s own version of the LG Optimus 3D, the world’s first 3D-capable Android-powered smartphone. Five months have passed since the unveiling, and you still can’t purchase a Thrill 4G. Last month, AT&T decided to finally announce the pricing for the device, and [...]

Apple iPad 3 won’t be out this year, but was it ever meant to be?
This is becoming ridiculous. The market for Apple-related rumors has been crazier than usual this year, and it has all reached an interesting climax today. This is when we report that a device that was never even acknowledged to exist has apparently been delayed. Of course we’re talking about the next iPad – let’s call [...]

TouchWiz on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review: An unobtrusive update to Honeycomb
When news dropped of Samsung bringing its custom interface to Honeycomb, I rolled my eyes in disgust. Then with the snap of a finger, Samsung TouchWiz UX interface running on prototype units of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, were announced at CTIA 2011. For the record, I am not a big fan of TouchWiz or any [...]
HTC Bliss spotted in the wild
The HTC Bliss has been spotted in the wild today. We first found out about the Bliss back in May. The device recently passed through the FCC and it seemed fitting that we would finally get a leaked photo of the HTC Bliss, which is rumored to be a smartphone designed specifically with woman in [...]

4G LTE Samsung Celox smiles for the camera, has physical button removed
A few days ago, the LTE-capable Samsung Celox got leaked for the first time. The phone was reportedly headed to a Korean carrier, and not, unfortunately, to Verizon or AT&T in the States. Furthermore, it used different LTE bands, so the handset simply can’t work on US LTE networks. Of course, Samsung could rework the [...]
