LG rumored to debut Google TV at CES 2012

post from Ubergizmo on 11 November 2011 11:47:48 PM. © Ubergizmo

After news of Logitech killing the Revue and Sony developing its own Smart TV platform, it looks like Google TV could have a savior in the works in the form of Korean electronics manufacturer, LG. According to a report from Bloomberg ? their sources claimed that Google and LG might be revealing a Google TV-powered TV at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January next year.

With LG being the world’s second-largest TV maker, having them onboard with Google TV is going to be a pretty big deal. However, if Google doesn’t make some massive changes to Google TV or garner the support of content providers to improve the service, it is quite unlikely that LG will see any success with it either. If rumors turn out to be true, let’s hope Google has some tricks left up its sleeve for Google TV; since LG hasn’t been doing too well with Android handsets, it would be unfortunate for them if Android-powered TVs didn’t work out as well.

What do you think of these rumors, and can LG help Google TV out of its current slump?

treatment

ASUS Transformer Prime Earlier this week we gave you a preview of the ASUS’ upcoming Transformer Prime tablet, and while we had all the details on the tablet, we didn’t have any photographs or videos of the tablet in action to show. Well, the lucky folks over at ZTOP managed to get their hands on a unit and shared their hands-on experience with the world through a whole bunch of photographs, and even a video demonstration of the tablet running graphics-intensive 3^rd person shooter, Shadowgun. As expected, the tablet performed impressively, and to add the icing on the cake ? it looks just as great. Head over to ZTOP to check out the full gallery of Transformer Prime, with a number of shots showing how thin the tablet actually is.

iPhone 5 existed as a prototype

post from Ubergizmo on 11 November 2011 10:44:40 PM. © Ubergizmo

iPhone 5? When the iPhone 4S was launched a few months ago, a lot of people were disappointed when it was released with the same old design as the iPhone 4. Especially since there were countless leaks, reports, and even cases showing off the phone’s tapered edges and teardrop shape. People were wondering, what happened to that iPhone?

According to the latest reports online, if they are to be believed; the redesigned iPhone 5 had existed as a prototype but it was cancelled a few months before the 4S was released. As to why the phone wasn’t released, there were rumors about Steve Jobs unhappy with the idea of the phone having a bigger screen which “fragmented” the iPhone. Well if that’s the case, does that mean Apple will never release an iPhone with a larger screen?

Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait until next year to see what the fate of the iPhone 5 has become. What did you think of the teardrop shaped iPhone 5 that was rumored about, months before the 4S?

Adobe blames Apple for the death of Flash Player
for mobile

post from Ubergizmo on 11 November 2011 09:44:14 PM. © Ubergizmo

Adobe Flash Earlier this week, Adobe announced that it would be killing off Flash for mobile browsers, but it didn’t give a reason to why it was doing so. And for those of you who are curious, Mike Chambers, the Principal Product manager for the Flash Platform at Adobe has finally spoken up, confirming pretty much what we’ve suspected all along. The death of Flash Player for mobile browsers was mainly because of Apple’s refusal to adopt the player in iOS. Chambers wrote on his blog:

iTunes Match libraries to be wiped, launch coming
up

post from Ubergizmo on 11 November 2011 08:47:42 PM. © Ubergizmo

In addition to the Google Music announcement earlier, it looks like we’re one step closer towards the launch of Apple’s iTunes Match service as well. The company has started sending out emails, letting them know that they will be deleting all current iCloud libraries on Saturday, November 12^th at 10am PST.

iTunes Match was supposed to be launched by the end of October, and with that date missed, who knows when Apple will be giving it the green light? However, the wiping of Match libraries in preparation for the launch can only be a good sign. How many of you folks are eagerly waiting to use iTunes Match, and those of you who have been testing it: how is it so far?
