LG Optimus 4X HD Releasing in (Europe) Britain, Germany, Italy, Poland & Sweden


We Just acquired information from LG today that it will be launching its new LG Optimus 4X HD in June for select European countries including Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden.

This is going to be LG’s entry entertainment-oriented device category because basically, Optimus 4X HD’s features are enhanced to offer entertainment at its best.



From its display down to its audio, you will easily notice this device is best used for multimedia playback putting it ahead in the competition when displayed on the shelf with other devices sporting the same specs.

While it is targeted for entertainment purposes, you could just underestimate what this device can do because it also has the specs you wished you have in your smartphones.

While everybody was stunned by Samsung Galaxy S3 and its specs, many people haven’t noticed that other major manufacturers like LG have also been vying to release as powerful devices and Optimus 4X HD is just one of them.

Top 10 Best Smallest or Pocket Size Smartphones 2011-2012


If you are one of the people who don’t want to hold your smartphone most of the time, then you should get a smaller handset or a pocket-size smartphone for convenience. Since 2011 up to now, majority of the manufacturers released their own models of pocket-size smartphones.

As small as they are, they don’t cause hassle like bigger devices do. Most of the time, pocket-size phones are offered for cheaper price so it wouldn’t be heavy for you to pay for it as well as to bring it with you anywhere you go. I have here ten of the pocket-size smart phones released since 2011 up to the present. See if you can find the one that would fit your lifestyle.

Samsung Galaxy Pocket




Released in April this year, Samsung Galaxy Pocket has actually been performing really good as far as sales is concerned. For this year, this is the company’s best contender in the entry-level market. Based on reviews from thousands of people who have bought this pocket-sized handset, it is fast and smooth in its processes. That is because even though is it smaller in size, it has powerful specs.

Samsung Galaxy Pocket comes with ARM-based chipset clocked at 832 MHz. I have mentioned in one of my reports here in this site that Samsung is giving at least, 800 MHz processor to its budget-friendly smart phones, and this device is one of the many that would prove my statement. The manufacturer didn’t want to go overboard so this handset was given Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This version of Android is lighter than the latest so 832 MHz CPU is more than enough to run this OS and ensure faster and smoother performance.

Pantech Hotshot.

60 best free iPhone apps 2012


The following list showcases our pick of the 60 best free iPhone apps, and includes iPhone applications for social networking, travel, news, photography, productivity and more.

Most of these apps are also suitable for the iPod touch.

If your top free iPhone apps aren't covered, tell us all about them in the comments.
And don't forget to check out our iPhone 5 release date, news and rumours article for the latest on the next iPhone.

1. Facebook

The world's biggest social network brings a tightly honed experience to the iPhone and iPod touch, but nonetheless still enables you to access your contacts, feeds and other important information. This sense of focus makes it in many ways superior to using Facebook in a desktop browser.



2. PhotoSynth

We did a bit of a double-take on seeing Microsoft's name attached to this, not least given the lack of a price-tag. But PhotoSynth is a really great panorama app; it's user-friendly and fun to use, especially when watching your panoramas take shape while you capture them.

iOS 6 vs Android Jelly Bean


We take a look at the latest mobile platforms from Google and Apple and pitch them against each other in a head-on showdown

Google has just launched its latest Android platform, it’s version 4.1 but also known as Jelly Bean. Meanwhile, Apple is preparing iOS 6 to launch alongside the iPhone 5 very soon and it’s already been quite public about some of the new features.

In this comparison we’ll put the two side-by-side to see which comes out the best.



Design and performance

In the last three versions of Android - Honeycomb 3.2, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0 and now Jelly Bean 4.1 - Google has made leaps and bounds in terms of establishing both a distinctive visual style and in generally improving performance, smoothness and usability, as well as making it much more stable and reliable in the process.

Aesthetically Jelly Bean certainly lives up to its sugary-treat inspired namesake. It’s kept ICS’s striking candy-like blue colour for many of the menu and interface elements, often contrasting starkly to black backgrounds. There’s plenty of white text too though and the font choice is works well for a very clean and high-tech look.

The included wallpapers follow on Google’s recent esoteric style with lots of abstract shapes and interesting palettes, while the icon and widget design ethos has also come across from ICS with lots of bright colours and a sort of cell-shaded, vector art style.

The end result is an oddball blend of a fairly minimalist and monochrome canvas for all the fundamental stuff needed for smartphone operation, such as the menus and control inputs, but then the whole thing has had plenty of noisy and bright stuff slapped on top. It shouldn’t work, but it does.
