Toshiba AT300 tablet is quad-core, same price as iPad 2

Apple's Jony Ive knighted, discusses 'quest for simplicity'
Mobile PhonesApple's design guru Jonathan Ive has received a knighthood, with the 45-year-old British designer behind the iPod, iPhone and iPad opening up about Apple's design philosophy in an interview with the Telegraph.
"We try to develop products that seem somehow inevitable," Sir Jony told the paper. "That leave you with the sense that that's the only possible solution that makes sense."
The Chingford native says Apple's products are tools, "and we don't want design to get in the way. We're trying to bring simplicity and clarity."
If you tried to describe Apple's familiar design aesthetic, 'minimalist' might be the word you'd reach for. But Sir Jony says simplicity isn't as simple as just clearing space.

Sony Xperia S early Ice Cream Sandwich update was a mistake
Mobile PhonesIce Cream Sandwich isn't coming to the Sony Xperia S as soon as we'd hoped. After hinting that we could be seeing the latest version of Android on the Xperia S as soon as this month, Sony has admitted it spoke too soon.
This isn't a delay as such, but a return to the original timescale for the Ice Cream Sandwich update. Last week a member of Sony's support team revealed the update would hit the Xperia S in late May or early June -- but it now appears that said support staffer had mixed up his Xperias. The May or early June update applies to other 2011 Xperia phones, but not the Xperia S. Continue reading...
