Yes, folks. It’s true. The U.S.-bound Galaxy S III won’t have Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor, according to a newly leaked user agent profile that shows VZW’s upcoming uberphone to be sporting Qualcomm’s dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor. Sad? Turn that frown upside down. For starters, while we are losing two cores, we’re also gaining LTE – a much faster, modern technology over the Tegra 3′s handicapped HSPA+. Also, the…

It’s sad when a once great company stoops to patent trolling to remain relevant. And while it appears on the surface that Nokia is doing alright after the launch of their highly anticipated Lumia devices, it appears that behind the scenes, money is getting tighter. Nokia has just announced that they are suing RIM, HTC and Viewsonic over 45 patents the trio allegedly infringes upon. The patents cover a multitude of technologies including dual-function antennas,…

Samsung’s Galaxy S III unveil is just around the corner but that doesn’t mean we won’t readily accept the increasing “leaks” claiming to showcase the device and/or details regarding it. Speaking of the Galaxy S III, GSM Arena is providing the latest leak in the form of an inventory screenshot from Carephone Warehouse U.K. showing the two colors the Galaxy S III will initially be offered in — blue and white. White isn’t too…

Most normal human beings still focus on a smartphone camera’s megapixel count as a measure of comparison between devices. While it does help a tad in determining which camera is “better”, megapixel count is but one factor; other things such as aperture, lens quality, glass type, flash type and software optimization all come into play. That said, over the course of the last ~10 years, Nokia has been known to focus more heavily on their phone cameras than…

Spotify subscribers and iPad owners can finally delete that ugly (on the iPad at least) iPhone Spotify app from their iPad. Spotify has officially released the new, iPad-specific app designed for Apple’s 9.7-inch wonder tablet. The app is far from a simple re-skin/port as it features a completely redone UI that is frankly one of the best looking iPad apps we’ve seen yet. As you’ll see in the video below, navigating the new iPad Spotify app is quite…

Microsoft’s previous shuffling of logistics center workers out of country to the Netherlands because of the ongoing patent lawsuit with Motorola got a little more concrete today. The court overseeing the patent battle has ruled in Motorola’s favor, saying that Microsoft infringes on Motorola’s IP, specifically one patent relating to the h.264 codec. While Motorola can’t begin enforcing the ruling yet due to their own anti-trust investigation(s), it…

Accident prone and not exactly in the mood to smash that fancy glass encased iPhone 4/4S of yours? Then check out Ballistic’s new(ish) LS Smooth cases. Like the slightly older LS case, Ballistic tried to combine thinness and robust protection into one, while also adding a new smooth finish. Ballistic has also outfitted the LS Smooth with interchangeable corner plates to give it that little extra bit of personality. Case colors include: Black, charcoal, hot pink,…

French Designer Antoine Brieux has released some gorgeous concept images of Apple’s newest iPhone. Rocking an A6 quad-core chip and a 10mp camera, we have something I can find myself liking. This is about where it stops for me…Brieux is giving the 6th gen iPhone a 4.5″ screen, which also includes no more physical home button. The phone looks beautiful, but I struggle to see Apple passing the 4″ mark for a 4.5″ screen. This is just too big and…

News: aproductive week-end. Found 2 big vulnerabilities. 1 kernel land and 1 root land. — pod2g (@pod2g) April 30, 2012 Even though Apple has dramatically opened up (relatively of course) iOS since the days of iPhone OS 1.0, there are still a handful of legitimate reasons to enjoy jailbreaking your iOS device. For us, we simply like the added utility that can be added by way of WiFi toggle switches on the lockscreen/NC pulldown as well as quick reply options for…

Being a hacker is one of those jobs that while immensely powerful, also requires a good amount of control and responsibility. Depending on how good you are at your job, you can have the power to do some really powerful (and nefarious) things. The other benefit, besides power, is the ability to make massive amounts of money. Exhibit A: The recently discovered Flashback Mac malware that infected some ~800,000+ machines. One might think that the relatively simple method in…
