We first saw these specs and this roadmap last week and Samsung later denied it, but now we have the same specs showing up again and with launch dates too. I have a feeling this might just be the real deal.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Launch dates are prone to changes but I’m liking what I’m seeing either way. They are listed in weeks and we are currently in week 33 (W33). The only thing I don’t like is the Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone listed is still 15 weeks away according to the leak. That makes a possible October launch sound not to possible now doesn’t it?</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
According to these reports we should be seeing the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 with an AMOLED display and Android 3.2 Honeycomb very shortly but sadly I don’t see anything about the Galaxy Tab 8.9 inch many are still waiting for. The most impressive and important one is at the bottom, the GT-I9250. This could very well be the Samsung Nexus Prime. We have seen reports about the AMOLED display being ready to go in larger sizes, as well as plenty of leaks that Samsung will rock the Nexus Prime and currently trying to get Verizon to carry it.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
All of this is really exciting and I can’t wait to see more. We originally heard ICS would launch around the holidays but recent rumors are saying October to compete with the iPhone 5. Then we see something like that last phone rumored for week 48 and that lines up better with initial ICS reports of a holiday release. Either way I just want to see these bad boys out in the wild already. Can you say Nexus!</div>

In Depth: Wikileaks: 8 biggest leaks in its history

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com////classifications/computing/internet-and-broadband/images/Wikileaks_3-200-200.jpg"> The most important website in the world right now isn't Facebook, Google or Twitter but one that's lifting the lid on the machinations of governments the world over. It's also shining a light on racist political parties and trying to out those who are actively censoring the web. Wikileaks, for good or bad, is offering up the truth in a way that's not been seen before. Its motto is "to publish fact-based stories without fear or favour" and it's a site run by volunteers who seemingly seek nothing but fact. This week saw the <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/wikileaks-sparks-diplomatic-crisis-after-250-000-docs-leak-911452">biggest leak yet</A> for the site. A total of 251,287 United States embassy cables were put onto torrents for anyone to download. According to Wikileaks, it's "the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain." The documents go as far back as 1966 and offering them up to the public has seen the US and many other countries go into diplomatic crisis overload. But this isn't the first time Wikileaks has managed to deliver documents that have embarrassed whole countries and it certainly won't be the last. Below are 8 of the biggest leaks from a website that's only been around for four short years, but has already left a legacy that will last for decades to come. 1. Scientology exposed It's one of the most secretive religions in the world. Founded by sci-fi author L Ron Hubbard in 1952 and now seen as the religion of choice by the Hollywood elite, the methods of the Church of Scientology have been shrouded in secrecy for a long time. Wikileaks changed all this by posting "the collected secret 'bibles' of Scientology" – a whole host of documents that explained the hierarchy within Scientology. The religion and its lawyers were not best pleased. 2. BNP membership list released For some reason, not everybody in the British National Party is happy to have their name associated with the BNP. This became apparent when Wikileaks (and other blogs) <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/entire-bnp-membership-list-leaked-online-486621">published details</A> of every member of the far-right political part, including addresses and what they did for a living. The document meant that anybody who downloaded the information could CTRL+F their way to finding out who in their hometown was paying the BNP to pedal its non-immigration stance. Teachers were exposed, as were members of the UK police force, which was bad news for the officers – it's illegal to be in the police and support the party. 3. Afghan War logs The leaking of the <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/wikileaks-releases-92000-secret-afghan-war-files-705613">Afghan War Logs</A> put Wikileaks firmly in the public conscience, mainly due to the US government publicly condemning the information that was made available to the public. Talk of torture, the death of civilians and a multitude of cover-ups did not make for light reading, but did show off the true horror of what was seen by many as an unwinnable war. 4. Sarah Palin's email account gets hacked Palin's latest slip of the tongue made her North Korea's latest fan recently, but it was her outed Yahoo email accounts that caused even more embarrassment <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/web/sarah-palin-must-reveal-personal-emails-475667">back in 2008</A>. According to information given to Wikileaks, Palin was using her private Yahoo account to send work messages – a minor faux pas, but one that is strictly forbidden when you're part of the US government. Considering she may well be running for President in the near future, we really hope she doesn't make the same mistake again. Or at least updates her personal email to something a bit hipper, like Gmail. <img alt="Wikileaks" src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/internet-and-broadband/images/wikileaks-twitter-420-90.jpg" width="420"></IMG> 5. Diplomatic crisis Over <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/wikileaks-sparks-diplomatic-crisis-after-250-000-docs-leak-911452">250,000 documents were</A> released this week that detail what the world already new – government diplomats say one thing to the press and another when they think it is in secret. The new documents are yet to be fully sifted but this is a monumental leak at it is the <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/wikileaks-next-release-is-7x-bigger-than-iraq-war-logs-909989">biggest ever of its kind</A>. The leaked information includes everything from Arab nations pleading with the US to bomb Iran, China cosying ever closer to North Korea and even stuff about Prince Andrew and Bank of England head honcho Mervin King. 6. Climate 'research' UK climate researches were put out to dry in 2009 after amore than 1,000 emails and 2,000 documents were leaked about climate change. The documents apparently showed that information which didn't fit with current climate change theories (that it is bad) was suppressed. Quotes such as: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't" appeared in mainstream media and began tarnishing the reputation of a number of scientists. 7. Web censorship lists Wikileaks found itself on an <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/wikileaks-has-funds-stopped-due-to-blacklisting-901283">Australia blacklist</A> back in May 2009, all because it released details of sites banned by various countries around the world. While Wikileaks <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/australian-government-takes-wikileaks-off-banned-website-list-585894">is no longer banned</A> in Australia, its publishing of the Australian Communications and Media Authority's list did cause outcry Down Under. The list was interesting because Oz's stance on banned sites was meant to be to be ones that advocated child porn and terrorism. However, Wikileaks found a number of sites banned that did not fall under these banners. 8. Revealing the Bilderberg Group Ah, the Bilderberg Group – up there with the Stone Cutters in terms of secret organisations you can't help but be interested in. While we are not suggesting that the biggest leaders, celebrities and people of influence in the world meeting up once in a while to exchange pleasantries is in the least bit shady, it was interesting to see the Wikileaks posting a number of meeting reports from the group. Unfortunately, while this was a monumental leak since it was one of the first times the lid had been lifted on the Bilderbergers, the minutes weren't actually very exciting. This was because all the names had been omitted (even Steve Guttenberg's) and the Bilderberg Group decided to post the information on its own website anyway.

Wikileaks hacked prior to latest diplomatic leaks

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//classifications/computing/internet-and-broadband/images/Wikileaks_3-200-200.jpg"> Wikileaks reported over the weekend that it has come under attack from a hacking operation, prior to its latest release of hundreds of thousands of secret US diplomatic messages. Wikileaks has issued the latest diplomatic leaks to a number of leading newspapers worldwide, with the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cable-leak-diplomacy-crisis">UK's Guardian publishing the documents</A> throughout this week. Mass DoS attacks Wikileaks said via Twitter over the weekend: "We are currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack." The US state department claims that the latest batch of leaks of hundreds of thousands of secret, confidential messages sent by US embassies will put lives at risk. Other newspapers set to publish details of the leaked embassy messages include the New York Times, Spain's El Pais, France's Le Monde and Germany's Spiegel. "The material that we are about to release covers essentially every major issue in every country in the world," said Wikileak's founder Julian Assange. UK PM embarrassment The latest release of info from Wikileaks follows earlier major leaks of 90,000 secret US records of US military incidents relating to the war in Afghanistan and 400,000 documents relating to the war in Iraq. The latest batch of documents are something of a diplomatic nightmare. Sent to the whistle-blowing site via USB stick, they contain information on numerous countries calling for Iran to be bombed by the US, America's annoyance of aviation tax and Mervyn King's apparent lack of respect for the coalition government and Prime Minister Cameron. It is suspected that the leaks came from US Army private Bradley Manning, an intelligence analyst arrested in Iraq in June. The US state department's legal adviser Harold Koh said the release of the information was against the law and would put lives at risk and that the US government would "not engage in a negotiation regarding the further release or dissemination of illegally obtained US government classified materials," in a letter to Mr Assange.
