Leaked Tech News: HTC Desire Gingerbread nears release (www.drmobiles.co.nz)

A few hours ago HTC announced it is already testing the Gingerbread for the original Desire and will start the QA procedures this week. Obviously the update is nearing release and the wait will be over soon.
Initially HTC promised a Gingerbread update for the Desire, but then it was dropped due to incapable hardware. After the massive pressure it got from users the company made another U-turn and decided to launch the update anyway, even if it will compromise a feature or two.
And here we are today when HTC is almost ready with the update. Here is the HTC's statement:

We suppose we'll see the Android 2.3 update soon after the QA is over. So arm up with just a little more patience and prepare for an update.

Apple’s WWDC June 6th 2011, iPhone 5 To be Announced In June?

04 May, 2011, Auckland-- Apple has officially confirmed the dates for the 2011 World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), and WWDC 2011 will take place from the 6th of June 2011 to the 10th of June 2011 at San Francisco’s Moscone West.

Apple are expected to unveil a range of things at this years WWDC which include the new iPhone 5, but it looks like we will also see some exciting stuff for Apple’s iOS and also Mac OS X.

“At this year’s conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “If you are an iOS or Mac OS X software developer, this is the event that you do not want to miss.”

We are expecting Apple to unveil the new iPhone 5 at WWDC 2011, as they have done in previous years. We also heard earlier today that we may not see iOS 5.0 be released until the fall of 2011, if this is the case we think Apple will definitely show off iOS 5.0 at this years WWDC.

iPhone 5 To be Cheaper Than iPhone 4 (Dr Mobiles Limited - Apple iPhone 4 Repair, 09-5515344

Earlier on, the The NYT were reporting that Apple were not working on the iPhone Mini one thing we forgot to mention from the NYT report is that it looks like the iPhone 5 may end up being cheaper than the iPhone 4.

According to the NYT report Apple will be looking to produce cheap versions of the iPhone 5, which could have less memory and a slightly different quality camera.

This does sound quite interesting, and would make much more sense for Apple to produce the same design, but with slightly cheaper components in one model, who knows we could see an 8GB iPhone 5 launched at a cheaper price.

2011 Latest Tech News: Pad Dock Turns Your iPhone Into An iPad (www.drmobiles.co.nz

If you don’t fancy shelling out your hard earned cash for one of Apple’s new iPads, and already own an iPhone or an iPod Touch, then why not get one of these Pad Dock’s which will convert your iPhone into an iPad.

You can dock your iPhone or iPod Touch with the Pad Dock and it will automatically magnify the screen, turning it into an iPad, the best part is it costs a lot less than an iPad.

Using a touch-screen magnifier, your iPhone screen is enlarged to the exact dimensions of an iPad. Most of the features that the iPad boasts about are on the iPhone anyway, so it only makes good sense to simply enlarge it. And, unlike the iPad, you can actually answer and make calls. Technology, eh?

If you want one, the Pad Dock is available for £89.99 about $135 from iWOOT, we have just ordered one for the Geeky Gadget office, great idea it will save us from having to buy an iPad.
