The Symbian^3 flagship Nokia N8 has been no stranger to “hands on impressions”. In fact the first exhaustive impressions of a leaked prototype device came as early as April 2010, when Eldar Murtazin ran an article for Mobile Review. From there onwards, we have seen a constant stream of both official and unofficial bits of information flowing down revealing more and more details about the device. And the general opinion being tossed around seems to be that the Nokia N8 is not an iPhone 4 competitor.

For long has twitter and other sites been swarmed with rumors that Apple is developing a 7″ iPad have been shot down by none other than the head honcho himself, Steve Jobs confirmed that at the 4th Quarter Apple Conference Call he confirmed that the rumored 7″ iPad is not in Apples iron sights right now and may not be for sometime now.

The iPad in my opinion is just the right size for just about anything, for movies you can switch to a landscape view and for websurfing a portrait view and the size of the current iPad is perfect its not too big and not too small, it isn’t even heavy like other tablets are a 7″ iPad would be useless and just make the iPad lose its touch, the screen size on the current gen iPad is enough for everyone while a 7″ iPad will demand more room on your arms and will make it a burden to hold.

HTC is entering the Windows Phone 7 arena with a bang, offering 5 new handsets, right at the offset. Which is surprising, as portrayed in the words HTC’s product manager for Asia Pacific, Alex Liu, “Five new smartphones… we’ve never done this before.” So let’s cut to the chase and see what’s in the offing.

HTC 7 Surround

The HTC 7 Surround has a 3.8-inch touchscreen and a slide-out speaker with integrated Dolby Mobile and SRS WOW HD technology for hi-fi sound. The speaker-board slide out is very much similar to a keypad slideout. The Surround also has a stand that folds-out in order to let users set it up and watch mobile TV or videos on the handset. The HTC 7 Surround will only be available in the U.S., through AT&T, and in Canada, through Telus.

HTC 7 Mozart

Featuring a 3.7-inch touchscreen and an 8-megapixel camera with flash. The Mozart also has Dolby Mobile audio and SRS WOW HD make up for some serious sound capabilities. The HTC 7 Mozart will be available in Europe, from Orange and T-Mobile, and in Asia from operators in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

HTC Trophy

The HTC Trophy sports a 3.8-inch WVGA touchscreen and is made for gamers, specially since it also features Xbox Live. It features a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and has SRS WOW HD for virtual surround sound. It is pretty similar to HTC’s Desire smartphone in shape. The Trophy will be available only from Vodafone in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and from M1 in Singapore.

HTC HD7

The HTC HD7, thinner than the Windows-mobile HD 2, is by far the largest of the new HTC 7 smartphones, with a 4.3-inch touchscreen – very much in the league of another HTC offering (for Android) the Desire HD. It features a 5-megapixel camera and one part of the back of the camera acts as a stand in case a user wants to place the phone down for Xbox Live, or for watching videos or mobile TV on it. The HD7 will be available in the U.S. only from T-Mobile, from Bouygues Telecom in France and from Telefónica elsewhere in Europe. In Asia, it will be available from operators in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

The HTC 7 Pro has a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. Productivity features for business users include mobile Office software and the ability to manage Outlook e-mail. The Pro will only be available in the U.S. and only from Spring, in the first half of next year.

Recently, the market has been flooded by various android devices, ranging from the expensive and Top of the line Nexus One and HTC Desire, to the mainstream HTC Legend and HTC Hero and down to the budget HTC Tattoo and HTC Dream. The HTC Wildfire under review today is the newest entry from HTC to hit the market as an alternate of HTC Tattoo that we reviewed earlier, both with respect to price and hardware similarities, as we shall see further ahead.

Members from the Chronic DEV Team which are working on the anticipated GreenPois0n Jailbreak for iOS 4.1 have finally revealed the release date for their Jailbreak which is going to be October 2010 at 10:10:10AM GMT. According to them the Jailbreak is complete and will be released on the confirmed date.

10/10/10 10:10:10AM GMT

Things have progressed to the point where we don’t expect anymore roadblocks. ETA for greenpois0n is 10/10/10 at 10:10:10AM

The GreenPois0n Jailbreak is based on a low-level bootrom exploit which will pwn all supported current iOS devices for life. To avoid this Apple wont be able to patch it through a firmware update but a revised version of those iOS supported deceives would have to be released. The new Jailbreak is also capable to hacktivate iPhone 4, running iOS 4.1.
