Earlier this year at MWC 2013, ASUS announced the PadFone Infinity, an upgraded and redesigned version of the PadFone 2. While the PadFone Infinity is available for purchase in the US, it is via unofficial channels and there are some who are still waiting for an official release, possibly with carrier partnership to help subsidize the cost of the device. Unfortunately we are still waiting for such a thing to happen, but a recent benchmark sighting might be able to explain why no US availability has been announced yet. (more…)

Acer has primarily been known for their computer offerings, although the company has attempted to enter the mobile market with tablets and smartphones, with the latter typically featuring rather uninspired hardware and design, like the Liquid Z3 being one of them. The company has also attempted a phablet of its own earlier this with the Liquid S1 and if you recall earlier rumors, a Liquid S2 could be on its way, and recent benchmark sightings might have revealed and “confirmed” some of its alleged specifications.

According to the benchmark, the Acer Liquid S2 device will sport a 6” 1920×1080 Full HD IPS display. It could also be powered by a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset which is definitely no slouch, and has been rumored to power Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 3 phablet as well. It will also sport 2GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, a 13MP, NFC connectivity, and according to the benchmark, is running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The last bit is a strange given that the leaked roadmap suggested Android Key Lime Pie as its OS of choice, but perhaps it could be upgraded before it is released.

No word on when Acer plans to launch the Liquid S2, but it has been rumored for a potential launch later this year. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think? Not too shabby, huh?

On the 10^th of September, it has been rumored that Apple will be holding an event of their own in which they will announce both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Assuming that is true, when can we expect either device to be released to the masses? Apple has typically been pretty efficient when it comes to release dates, usually releasing a couple of weeks from the announcement, and sometimes on the day itself. We had previously heard that the 20^th of September is a possible release date and it seems that the date could be true.

This is according to TmoNews who is reporting that T-Mobile stores in the US are blacking out Friday, the 20thof September, until the 22^nd of September (Sunday) to prevent employees from taking vacations. Presumably this is to ensure that the carrier will have enough staff on hand to handle incoming customers who might be looking to get their hands on the new iPhones. Of course since Apple has yet to announce anything official yet, do take it with a grain of salt for now, but if you’re looking to pick up either device, perhaps the 20^th of September could be a date worth marking down on your calendar.

You don’t even need to buy a Roomba lawn mower, all you need to do to rid yourself from the chore of mowing lawns is to make the lawn mower mow itself. How? Be like this guy who strapped his self-propelled lawn mower with rope to a stake in the middle of the yard. The lawn mower ingeniously mows the lawn in smaller spirals as the rope wraps around the wooden stake.
