Given that Nokia has pretty much put all of their proverbial eggs into the Windows Phone basket, it is safe to assume that they are currently working on Windows Phone 8 devices, but when exactly can we see the fruits of their efforts? According to the folks at Bloomberg who quoted “a person with knowledge of the matter”, Nokia is set to unveil the company’s new Windows Phone 8 devices in September during the Nokia World event which is taking place on the 5^th of September. We guess the choice of location and time isn’t really surprising, and assuming the source is to be believed, the devices unveiled at Nokia World are also expected to go on sale towards the end of the year before the holiday shopping season. No word on what sort of devices we can expect, but here’s hoping that we’ll be in for a treat. Until then, be sure to stay tuned and check back with us regularly as we keep you updated on the situation!

One of the perks about owning an Amazon device, like the Kindle Fire, is that you get access to Amazon’s ecosystem which includes music, videos, an app store of their own and of course Amazon’s core competency, an e-commerce outlet where books, gadgets, toys, and etc. can be found. Now it looks like Apple wants in on the action too, according to a report by the Business Insider  who claims that Apple is currently in talks with Pinterest’s rival, The Fancy. For those wondering it is, it’s similar to Pinterest in which users can post things they find interesting, i.e. paintings, weird utensils, gadgets, accessories and the likes and will ultimately link users to the places where they can buy them from.

It is unclear as to what Apple will do with The Fancy, although it has been suggested that The Fancy’s services could be linked up with the PassBook feature that has been built into iOS 6. However since these are merely rumors for now, we suggest taking it with a grain of salt at least until a more official statement has been given. But what do you guys think? Would it be cool if Apple started offering its users the opportunity to purchase a larger variety of products that might not necessarily be tech-related?

A while back we reported that Dell had confirmed they were working on a Windows 8 tablet, although it was not specified as to which version of Windows 8 they would be working on. According to the rumors, Dell had supposedly taken HP’s spot for a Windows 8 tablet when HP decided to pull out from the running. However thanks to a new set of rumors, word has it that both HP and Dell have joined forces and are looking to push out a Windows RT tablet this October. The RT version of Windows will be running on ARM-based processors and according to the report, HP’s version will be using Texas Instruments’ chips while Dell will be turning to Qualcomm for their chips. This seems to go against previous rumors that suggested that Qualcomm had chosen HP to work with, but since these are merely rumors, we guess taking it with a grain of salt is the best course of action at this point. Either way the release date for both HP and Dell’s Windows RT tablets has been pegged for the 26^th of October, so we guess we will have to wait and see if the rumors pan out.

Somewhere, maybe even right now, someone is already using the iPhone 5. At least that’s what this screenshot would have you believe. More »

The jury is still out on this one – the photos of an alleged iPhone 5 (or next generation iPhone, depending on just how you want to call it) that you see above could be true, or it could be false. All we know is this, a Japanese repair house uploaded images of what resembled the upcoming iPhone from Apple some time ago, and it did send everyone into an iPhone 5 search frenzy. Now, Neowin claimed to have received images from an anonymous source in Bangkok, Thailand, of the possible next generation iPhone. Nothing is confirmed yet of course, and the source of the photos did admit that this particular iPhone captured does not work at all, and is a “non functional replica prototype.” Can we say dummy unit? Do you think that this will be the basis for the next generation iPhone? It would be cool if we could take a closer look at the dock connector, hoping to see 8-pins or 19-pins in the process.
