Apple is rumored to release its most anticipated iPhone 5 in September.

Rumors and speculation have swirled around the anticipated release of Apple's iPhone 5, but the new smartphone won't be as radical as some have suggested. Apple's next iPhone version, coming next year, will offer the biggest change.

HTC is trying to strengthen the grip it has established over the smartphone market in the absence of iPhone 5, tickled by the success of Samsung Galaxy S II which hit 3 million in 55 days in UK.

Samsung Galaxy S2 has sold nearly 3 million units in a span of 55 days.

Apple plans to ship 25 million iPhone 5s by the end of the year.

Another report on how many iPhone 5s will be sold.

As HTC EVO 3D is heading for T-Mobile, and probable Motorola Droid Bionic has gone through FCC approval, both smartphones have shown promising features to attract consumers to their shores.

As the two titans - iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 - clash in the tablet arena, HP's tablet, the TouchPad, seems a better spectator than a contender.

Apple Inc. might release another version of iPad as its iPad 2 is facing heavy competition from other tablet makers. But the sales of their existing iPad isn't slowing down and Apple doesn't seem to be intimidated by the onslaught of Android.

A recent report from ComScore cited some interesting figures detailing how Apple's iPhone and Android devices are beating the BlackBerry.

Apple may be working on a successor to the iPad 2 and it is not the iPad 3. The Cupertino, California-based technology giant is said to be planning on a new tablet device known as the iPad 2 Plus.

Facing down poor reviews and a barrage of criticism, the HP team behind the recently launched WebOS-based tablet TouchPad is bracing to fix the holes that made the device look like a poor competitor to Apple iPad 2 and other tablets.

Apple and Samsung are battling

A study says Toyota leads global companies in total dollars invested in research and development.

The question whether the TouchPad is capable enough to take on the iPad 2 does not arise. What is of interest is how big a dent it will create in the sales of iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1, the duo that rule the roost in the tablet market.

Apple could launch an unlocked version of iPhone 4S with prepaid voice offering.

While Apple is reportedly making its ground with the combo release to capture a wide swatch of smartphone users, reports have surfaced over the past few days revealing that Samsung and HTC are also set to unleash value-priced versions of their popular smartphone models.

Samsung has sold 3 million Galaxy S2 smartphones worldwide, excluding the US.

Apple has placed an order for 15 million iPhone 5s with Taiwan-based note-book maker Pegatron Technology which will start shipping them in September 2011.

Apple filed motion for Preliminary Injunction in US District Court U.S District Court in San Jose, on Friday, to halt the sale of four Samsung devices, Infuse 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Droid Charge, and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Apple alleged that the devices copy Apple's mobile devices and make use of its patents and intellectual property without authorization. According to Apple's claim, the Samsung devices collectively infringed on three of Apple's design patents and one utility patent

Fall is approaching and if rumors are true we can expect to see Apple's next generation tablet the iPad 3 hitting stores in September. The iPads have dominated the tablet scene since its release in April 2010 by owning 82% of the US market. Apple's iPad 3 release is expected to strengthen that number though a batch of next generation competing tablets plans to reverse that trend.
