n an attempt to snaffle the legions of ex-HTC Desire users with a more budget model, HTC has announced the Desire X.

The phone itself is unremarkable when it comes to specs, with a dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon S4 processor powering a Super LCD screen that measures a now-average 4-inches.

This has also been raised up and laminated to help cut down on the glare when looking at the screen and improve clarity, which seems to have worked given the impressive display on offer.

It's more 'smartphone' than the 'superphone' One series, according to Graham Wheeler, director of product commercialisation for HTC, but still manages to pull in design language from a number of models in the company's history.

The shell feels very similar to the polycarbonate of the HTC One X, but instead of a unibody chassis we're treated to a removable back cover that hides slots for a normal-sized SIM and a microSD card too.

More details surrounding the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Note 2 have surfaced, pointing towards an earlier release date than first expected.

According to a GSM Arena source Samsung has moved the release date for the Galaxy Note 2 to September – which is a month earlier than previous reports claimed.

Apparently the reason for bringing the announcement forward is so Samsung can flaunt its new device ahead of Apple's expect iPhone 5 announcement in October.

Samsung launched a raft of new tablets at IFA 2012, with the Ativ Tab being the most tablet-esque.
Shorn of the keyboard of its Ativ Smart PC brethren, the Ativ Tab is a pure tablet running Windows RT – and it's certainly got the design credentials you'd look for in something like this.

The 10.1-inch HD screen is impressive, and certainly adds a level of crispness to proceedings that others might not manage, which really helps when looking at the IE browser installed or scrolling through the reams of apps on the (now not so-called) Metro interface.

The design is impressive – it's not metallic, which does detract somewhat, but coming in at just over half a kilo in weight and less than 9mm in thickness, we can't say we're disappointed too much.

There's the dedicated Windows button at the bottom of the screen for flicking back and forth between the most recently used app – but it's very much just standard Windows RT flavouring from there.

The chances are that 4K on a whacking great television will be a familiar site before long, but Panasonic was showing off the impact that many pixels can have in a 20 inch television.

The 20 inch sets are currently envisioned as being more useful to business users where detailing is vital or small text is necessary.

Of course that's a limited audience, but the prospect of using this minimal pixel size across larger televisions is obviously hugely appealing.

After showing off the XPS 12 Duo here at IFA 2012, Dell turned its attention to the Windows RT variant of Windows 8, announcing this – the Dell XPS 10.

It's a 10-inch (you guessed it!) tablet that's less than 10mm thick and comes complete with a keyboard dock that makes it seem almost like an ultraportable laptop.

The XPS 10 feels as good and as lightweight as a high-end Android tablet in the hand, while the screen is extremely (and surprisingly) bright and crisp - far more so than many Android tablets we've seen at IFA 2012, though the screen size here is smaller due to the large bezel.

As you can see there's a Windows Start button on the bottom of the tablet itself - this does the same as the Start button on the keyboard and takes you back to the Start screen.

The 10 inch tablet, powered by a 2 dual core processor by Nvidia Tegra and boasting of 1GB RAM, better known as the Thrive, has been doing quite well in the market-despite being run on the older Android platform, Honeycomb.

This is because it has proved to be a pleasure to work with, as it is very responsive, a quality that many will appreciate. It is also easily customizable and has clearly been well built. All the same, everyone has been greatly anticipating the update of the device’s OS to the Android Ice Cream Sandwich as this promises to enhance the experience with the tablet even more.

The update, which months earlier had been announced to be scheduled for end of spring which was being eagerly anticipated by Thrive owners was delayed at the last minute by the manufacturers due to unforeseen circumstances. It was announced that the predicted time of release would be in early fall. This came as a big blow to all those who had been eagerly waiting for the update but the good news is that it is now finally here – for real!

Released by DevSwift1, XDA senior member, it shows that the tech community never neglects some out-of-favor phones such as the LG Optimus GT540.

This particular model has been in the market for quite a while, remember that it comes with the Android Donut which is far, far back in time. Many geeks have assumed that the Jelly Bean will not work on this phone but kudos to DevSwift1, the Android 4.1 operating system comes very much alive in this LG phone.

It is my duty to remind you that the ROM is pretty much in a basic testing phase and is honestly unstable still. You should take this only as a way to preview what Jelly Bean/CM10 can do as there’s lots of gaps in its functioning as of now.

Well, as with all jailbreaking instructional articles, I need to stress that this guide might cause damage to your phone if you are not experienced with jailbreaking. Techzek will not be responsible for any damage to your phone so please proceed at your own discretion.
