to 20th November

Gamers if you?ve been looking forward to getting your hands on Sony?s upcoming brawler, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, you might be disappointed to learn that according to the PlayStation blog, they have delayed the launch of the game which will now launch on the 20^th of November 2012 instead, affecting both North American and Latin America regions. According to the post, the reason for the slight delay is so that they can continue polishing and tuning the game based on some of the feedback they have received during the limited beta testing they conducted. We?re sure that hearing the delay of a game you really want to play can be disappointing, but we guess we?d rather have the game delayed than launched full of bugs and errors that ruin the initial experience.

Internal codes for unannounced Nikon cameras
leaked

post from Ubergizmo on 14 August 2012 05:20:30 AM. © Ubergizmo

According to the rumors, Nikon is expected to unveil several new cameras soon. One of them is a purported high-end Coolpix camera with a 28-200mm f/2.4 lens, while the other is the Coolpix S800 camera which will be powered by Android. So far two Nikon cameras have been announced, the Nikon 1 J2 and the Coolpix L610, but thanks to Nikon?s German support website, it seems that several internal codes of unannounced Nikon cameras have been revealed. It has been speculated that the code X1030 refers to the Nikon 1 J2, while one of the codes starting with Q could be the Coolpix L610, leaving us wondering what the remaining codes could refer to. So far there have been rumors of the two cameras mentioned above, therefore leaving three more codes that could be anything at this point in time. In any case with Photokina taking place next month, there is a good chance that all will be revealed then (or hopefully before), so check back with us later for the details! In the meantime what other cameras do you think Nikon has up their sleeves?

Acer Iconia Tab A110 expected to launch in the UK
by the end of September for £179

post from Ubergizmo on 14 August 2012 05:19:26 AM. © Ubergizmo

Back in July, the Acer Iconia Tab A110 was spotted at the FCC. While a release in the US remains unclear at this point, it seems like the tablet will be going on sale in the UK by the end of September and based on its features, it looks like it might be able to give the Google Nexus 7 tablet a run for its money. Revealed at Computex in June, the A110 will sport an NVIDIA Tegra-3 quad-core processor under its hood, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and will sport a 7? touchscreen display. It is expected to be priced at £179 which will be £20 more than the Nexus 7, although some might find that the extra £20 could be worth it as the A110 comes with a microSD card slot, allowing users to expand beyond the built-in 8GB of memory.

The tablet will come with Android 4.0 ICS installed but it is also expected to see an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the future. If you?re fine with running ICS and can wait for an update to Jelly Bean, or don?t mind flashing an Android 4.1 based ROM, then perhaps the Acer Iconia Tab A110 might be worth taking a look at.

The Synrgic T1 Android tablet packs some pretty
decent specs

post from Ubergizmo on 14 August 2012 05:18:02 AM. © Ubergizmo

If you?re in the market for a 10.1? tablet with NVIDIA?s quad-core Tegra-3 processor under the hood, then Chinese company Synrgic?s T1 tablet could be worth taking a look at. Sporting an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, the T1 tablet will come with a 10.1? display with a resolution of 1280×800 and will come with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It also comes with an optional GSM modem so we guess technically you could make calls with the device, although we suggest using a Bluetooth headset as holding up a 10.1? tablet to your face could look a bit silly.

It comes with UMTS/HSPA support along with GPS and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, an 8MP rear-facing camera with LED flash that is also capable of 1080p Full HD video capture and a 2MP front-facing camera for video calls. No word on pricing just yet, but based on the specs it doesn?t seem too bad, does it? There is a chance that the Synrgic T1 could be displayed at IFA, so be sure to check back with us then for more details, like pricing and availability.

LG Optimus 2X to receive Android 4.0 Ice Cream
Sandwich

post from Ubergizmo on 14 August 2012 02:19:58 AM. © Ubergizmo

We first reviewed the LG Optimus 2X early last year, and since then, there was this hot potato bit of news that seemed to bounce back and forth – will the LG Optimus 2X receive the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system update or not, that is the question. Well, late last month, we read about how the LG Optimus 2X will be denied its chance at Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but it seems that there might be a glimmer of hope for those who still believe – word on the street has it that LG?s Korean office has claimed that an Ice Cream Sandwich operating system update is still in the pipeline, although there is a very high possibility of additional testing still being required.

Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is now available for
pre-order at Sprint

post from Ubergizmo on 14 August 2012 02:18:51 AM. © Ubergizmo

Nearly a week ago, we talked about how Sprint has commenced employee training for the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE smartphone, with a targeted August 19th release date to boot. Well, the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE (don?t you think that the device is a mouthful to mention?) is now up for pre-order over at Sprint, and the August 19th release date sticks just like how barnacles love attaching themselves to the hulls of ships. Just to recap, the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE will come with a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard that is not too far different from the Motorola DROID 4, and it will burn a multi-photon sized hole in your pockets for $199.99, coupled with a new 2-year contract, of course.

The display of the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE would be the main attraction here, at least for a Motorola device, as it comes with a pixel density of 256ppi that is similar to that found on the Motorola Photon Q 4G (as seen above). I wonder what the battery life on this monster is like though.

iPhone 5 pre-orders to begin in September

You know that Apple is a company ripe for the pickings of rumor mongers, pardon the pun, but it is true. After all, they have built their brand presence up to a stage where it is nearly difficult to ignore any movement or new device from the computing giant. The iPhone 5 (or new iPhone if you are part of that camp) is set to create new sales records assuming history is a decent indicator of future performance, and there has been a fair number of leaks and rumors associated with the iPhone 5, with some holding water while others are plain rubbish. The latest bit of rumor would be the iPhone 5 being put up for pre-order sometime in September – the 12th of September, if you want to be exact.

Have you ever wondered whether a September 11th release date with a special Patriot Edition might be insensitive? Just food for thought. The same rumor mill also pointed to an international iPhone 5 release on October 5th. All in all, we just look forward to an official announcement from the folks at Apple themselves once they are done with the legal wrangling with Samsung at the courts.

Google purchases Frommers

I can see the new title now – travel the Internet on $1 a day, or something to that effect. After all, we have just gotten whiff that Internet search giant Google has decided to flex their purchasing muscle yet again by picking up the Frommer’s line of travel guidebooks for $151 million, making it the latest addition to their growing collection of publishing content that might just help enhance Google?s position to maneuver them into that of a major online travel broker. This purchase comes approximately a year after Google picked up Zagat Survey for $151 million, where folks go to read up reviews of restaurants, hotels and nightclubs in cities worldwide. (more…)
