So it appears that all 4 major U.S. cell phone carriers will be carrying the iPhone. The Sprint(non LTE or non 4G) and T-Mobile (HSPA+ or 4G) versions, dubbed the 4S should be available in time for the holidays. It’s said that it will look very close to current models, though it will have better cameras and will sport their A5 dual-core processor. I know a few people who will undoubtedly be very excited by this news.
Apple made headlines when it was discovered that iPhones and iPads use their built in gps transceivers to track and record their owners where abouts. Even more disturbing is the fact that the feature can’t be turned off. Well all you Android os phone users, no need to feel left out. Apparently Android devices do the same thing. It’s believed that this info is used for location based add campaigns, but only the manufactures know for sure.
RIM has recently announced that it will officially support Android apps on the Blackberry PlayBook and future QNX cpu based phones. Traditionally, Blackberry is known to be pretty difficult to develop programs on, therefore they’re not known to have a huge plethora of apps like Android and iPhone. Now the decision of what phone to get will no longer hinge on the question of “do I want more apps, or BBM?” You can have both you silly goose. This will be the ultimate cure for BB owner’s app envy!

I love gadgets as much as the next guy but Apple is definitely not worth spending my evening like this. Ummm, I’ll get a closer look when the madness dies down.
With Wednesday’s announement of the iPad 2, we finally have a complete comparison chart of 2011′s hottest tablets. Everyone is gonna have their favorite depending on what they use their device for. But they all look pretty good spec-wise, so I think it may come down to personal preference.

Apple and Rim have been at war for some time now over who has the more sought after, more desired and all around better handset. Well in April or May of next year, the fight will have moved into the tablet arena. Apple came out with a great device in the iPad, but it lacked a few features that left a few consumers wanting more. Rim decided to fill this void with it’s own table, the PlayBook. I will include a USB port, Flash and a front facing camera. But not to be outdone, it’s speculated that the iPad 2 will step it’s game up and be be pretty closely matched to the PlayBook. 
Here’s a list of unofficial specs:
· Cameras – front and rear, HD capable
· Gyroscope - 3 axis gyroscope
· USB port – micro USB Probably for charging
· GSM and CDMA
· Thinner - more like a MacBook
· Retina display – like that of the iPhone 4
· Seven-inch screen – more on par with other tablets
· A faster processor – likely an ARM’s Cortex A9 (1GHz dual-core), like the PlayBook
· More memory - from 256MB to at least 512MB
Apple today has updated their existing iMac lineup by dumping Core 2 Duo altogether and bringing Intel’s Core i3, i5 and i7, along with faster graphics card options. Available in both 21.5 and 27 inches, the prices of both the entry level base model, and the flagship model remains same as the older ones, except that these new ones have more power then ever before.
Full details are as follows.
