Hasta La Gadget!

It seems that on September 23rd, Microsoft is not going to hold back on the upcoming Surface 2 range of tablets, and the folks over at Neowin have managed to pick up some vital information concerning such tablets, as well as the different accessories that these tablets will come with, courtesy of some alleged insider information.

Apparently, Microsoft has had plans for an updated Type Cover which should most probably arrive in a range of colors for the first time. So far, Neowin has managed to get hold of blue and purple Type covers, and who are we to say that there will be no other different colors down the road? After all, to churn all of these out in a bevy of rainbow shades is a simple matter considering how one just needs to spray the plastic with a new color. Apart from that, there are also whispers of a white/silver Surface 2, although it remains to be seen whether this is a result of a prototype, or is it yet another brand new color that will hit the market.

The press-only event that is set to happen tomorrow will also include another peripheral or two which has been making its way around the rumor mills, although there is nothing more concrete to continue from there. All in all, we just have to sit tight and stay tuned!

Microsoft Rumored To Unveil New Surface Tablets Soon original content from Ubergizmo.

It was announced earlier this month that Japan’s largest mobile carrier, NTT DoCoMo, has signed a deal with Apple to sell the iPhone on its network. Its two major rivals, KDDI and SoftBank, already offer the iPhone. The carrier reportedly lost quite a lot of subscribers because it wasn’t offering Apple’s popular smartphone. A new report from Nikkei suggests that DoCoMo has promised that 40 percent of all of its smartphone sales will be accounted for by the new iPhones.

It has only been a couple of days since Apple announced iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Both new iPhones will be launched in Japan on September 20th, which is the initial launch date for the smartphones. DoCoMo has nearly 60 million subscribers, which makes it the largest carrier in Japan. It previously was at an impasse with Apple, the carrier reportedly wanted to install its own specific apps on the iPhone before selling them and Apple was not allowing that. iPhones don’t usually come with “bloatware,” the kind you’ll find on phones from other manufacturers. It has not been revealed how both parties came to an agreement. Analysts believe that Apple might end up shipping an additional 35 million iPhone units due to its deal with DoCoMo and China Mobile, though a deal with the latter, which is the world’s largest mobile carrier, is yet to be confirmed.

Earlier today, we did mention a possible rumor of how Samsung could very well introduce the first Tizen device later this coming October, and here we are with additional word on such a possibility. In fact, I guess one would say that this is closer to a “confirmation” than anything else, as a bug report page on the Tizen project website did mention that Japanese mobile carrier NTT DoCoMo already has a Tizen smartphone in the pipeline which carries the model number SGH-N055. Having said that, don’t you think that it is rather strange for Samsung to rely on “SGH” as a model number for a Tizen device? The device in question was mentioned by a user on a bug report’s comments section, touting that the “SGH-N055, docomo version, does not have this bug,” which further points out that this particular device is already being tested by third parties.

Well, chances are pretty high that we will most probably be able to check out the SGH-N055 get announced at Samsung’s developer conference, with a possible launch date sometime happening in November or December, although one would not rule out the rumored October release date, either. So far, specifications and hardware bits and pieces of the Tizen device remains unknown.
