Well look at this. A source has dropped some Apple-flavoured rumours regarding the iPad 3, iPhone 5, and next-gen MacBook Pro. They’re all due next year, and they all sound awesome. The iPad 3 will actually be thicker than the second generation, reports iLounge, though only by 0.7mm. This is to make space for a …

US tellybox giant Roku is bringing its set-top boxes to the UK early next year, with region-specific channels and maybe even Angry Birds. Couch potatoes rejoice. It didn’t give a specific date when the boxes would be available, just “early 2012” for the UK and Canada, CNET News reports. And going on its success across the pond, it should prove …

It may have been a bit overlooked, with some recent announcements, but Samsung’s phone-cum-tablet is a pretty decent device. And now it’s come to O2, less than a week after the network announced it would, reports Engadget. Well you can’t accuse it of not putting its money where its mouth is.

Well now the same company has brought down its estimate, saying each Kindle Fire costs $201.70 to make, reports the Mail. And considering the device sells for $199, that’s a loss of about $3 (£2) per unit. Previously iHS iSuppli said the Fire cost …

Panasonic? Smart phones? You may not think the two go together, but Panny’s phones are big in Japan (along with Sharp’s). And it used to sell handsets outside its homeland, though it hasn’t since 2005. But that’s all about to change. The manufacturer is on the hunt for a PR company to help get its phones out there, according to …

We haven’t even got the Kindle Fire yet in the UK and we’re already looking forward to this: Amazon is prepping a Kindle Fire smart phone, according to a report, and it’ll massively undercut the iPhone.
