In terms of hardware for the LG Optimus L3 E400, the device will feature a 3.2” QVGA display, a 3MP rear-facing camera, 3G, WiFi, microSD card support up to 32GB and it will run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The device will also be available in either black or white, and while no official release date has been given, it is expected that the LG Optimus L3 E400 will be debuted at MWC 2012 alongside its higher-end sibling which will be held towards the end of February in Barcelona, Spain.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the companies need permission from the Commission in order to make the handover work out according to plan, though we haven’t seen a specific deadline set for the transition. We don’t imagine the government will have quite the same concern with this particular transfer as it did with the entire merger itself, but we wonder if AT&T is secretly hoping — for once — that the FCC will say no.

What is it going to feature? Well, just about every rumor says a retina display with a 2048×1536 resolution. It’s pretty much a given at this point. At the beginning of January, we also reported an 8MP camera could be on the way, although that might be a stretch given the iPad 2′s little regard for camera quality. Aside from pixel increases, an Apple A6 quad-core processor is likely and 4G LTE connectivity is plausible as well.

I have my own theory that Siri will come to the iPad 3, too. There’s always one major headline feature in each iPhone that tops the rest, and that was Siri in 2011. I’d be surprised if Apple doesn’t bring Siri to the iPad in the same way it brought FaceTime over.

One last observation is that Apple is currently on its third beta of iOS 5.1, the version of iOS the iPad 3 could ship with. The final release of iOS 5.1 and the iPad 3 are on track to align soon.

iPad 3 rumors are about to reach a fever pitch as we approach Apple’s imminent launch.

Not only that, it comes in a thin and svelte form factor that would up the portability ante, and you will also be able to use a wall or other equivalent surfaces as a projector’s display to show images of up to 60″ in size. Since the LightPad G1 will be mounted to a QWERTY keyboard, you will not have any issues typing out that super long document that is required by your boss. Major mobile devices running on the iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS platforms are supported. The LightPad G1′s resolution maxes out at 854 x 480 pixels, while the next generation LightPad G2 certainly rocks the boat with 1280 x 720 resoulution.

HTC is being sued for the same four patents as Apple, with the addition of  a patent that covers capturing still images while previewing motion images — the same patent is being asserted against Apple and RIM in a concurrent ITC investigation. Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents speculates that the lawsuit is part of a last effort sales and marketing strategy to sell the company’s patent portfolio. Lastly, Mueller believes that even though Apple and HTC are suing each other, they will most likely team up to fight off Kodak. At the very least, the two companies could conduct a joint prior art search, or look to narrow the scope of patent claims to avoid liability for infringement.

The S1081 is also compatible with a multimedia docking station that comes with a DVD drive and a powerful audio system comprised of two stereo and two woofer speakers: great for those times when you’re using the tablet as a movie-playing device. The dock also comes with extra ports for increased connectivity options.

No word on pricing or availability, but we should find out in due time.

However, the special edition device that’s being given to Google employees features a unique design on its rear which you can see in the above picture. Unfortunately, unless these appear on eBay or are given away at some Google event there doesn’t seem to be a way for normal consumers to get them. But, if/when there is we’ll be the first to let you know.

A few days ago we wrote about a new website that exposes what people behind an IP-address have downloaded on BitTorrent. The Russian-based founders of the site developed the service so people can show their friends how public their downloading habits are, and that is exactly what we’re going to do today.

Armed with the IP-ranges of major Hollywood studios we decided to find out what they’ve been downloading. As expected, it didn’t take us long before we found BitTorrent ‘pirates’ at several leading entertainment industry companies. Yes, these are the same companies who want to disconnect people from the Internet after they’ve been caught sharing copyrighted material.

First up is Sony Pictures Entertainment. As shown below, on this single IP-address alone a wide variety of music and movies have been downloaded. And this is probably just the tip of the iceberg, as YouHaveDownloaded only tracks only a small percentage of all public BitTorrent downloads.

When reading the HTC Rhyme Review you will see the one area that really impresses us on the new HTC Rhyme is the performance from the battery. The model includes a powerful 1600mAh battery that may seem a little powerful for a mid range phone such as this one. The decision to include such a high powered cell was the right one however considering that the Sense 3.5 user interface that the phone uses is very demanding on the battery. We would expect the modern smartphone to last roughly a day between charges with normal use but the Rhyme exceeds this. At the end of 24 hours with the handset it was pleasing to see that their was plenty of life left in the battery considering we had been using a variety of features including video playback and web browsing.

Officially the battery should offer approximately 410 hours of standby time and nearly 7 hours of talktime. When it comes to charging the battery the Rhyme comes supplied with an attractive docking station that doubles as a nightstand for the phone which effectively turns the device into a bedside alarm clock. The docking station is also great if you want to watch movies on the handset as it holds the phone in a widescreen position to give you the best possible viewing experience.

The HTC Rhyme is a great handset for browsing the internet. The web browser featured on this model supports flash files meaning that you can achieve the best possible browsing experience from a mobile device. The 1Ghz processor that the device uses means that web pages load incredibly quickly whilst the wealth of connectivity options on offer ensure that a great connection speed is always possible. The phone supports WiFi with all three current speeds catered for and the Rhyme will automatically connect to your favourite networks if one is available. Whilst on the move the phone can take advantage of a 3G connection for the fastest possible data transfer. 3G currently covers the majority of the UK but if you find yourself outside of the coverage area then the phone offers both EDGE and GPRS as reliable alternatives.

The HTC offers a perfect combination of modern styling with great features. Battery life on this model is particularly impressive when compared to other smartphones whilst browsing the internet is a great experience on this model.
