<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Superphones will be arriving in 2012 as LTE and 4G begin to proliferate across the globe – according to ARM CEO Warren East.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
East, talking as ARM announced its new Cortex A7 processor, linked the rise of modern smartphones to the rise of 3G and believes that the next level of mobile data will be the spark for more powerful mobile devices.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"Smartphones as we know them today emerged around the Cortex A8 processor and with 3G modems," said East.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"That meant a lot more data coming into the phones, so you could deliver a lot more content and services which in turn demanded more microprocessor compute power.</div>

Beyond advanced smartphones</h4>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"Now we have very advanced smartphones with the cortex A9 processor which are capable of even higher levels of performance.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"As we look forward we can see the modem advancing to even higher bandwidth so more data coming in and out and more demand for compute power.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"That's when we will see processors like the Cortex a15…delivering the kinds of performance required for some of these high compute power services and high-end smartphones sometimes today referred to as superphones.</div>
<h4 style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Olympic efforts</h4>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
East believes that the first of these Cortex A15 devices will be emerging in 2012.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"We launched it about a year ago and over the year we have frown the number of ARM partners who have development underway with the new processor.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"We're expecting real Cortex A15 products next year – that's where we've got to with A15 deals for high end…superphones and in form factors like computers and tablets and even straying into the server space."</div>

More attractive ebooks could be on their way to a Kindle near you, as Amazon Kindle Format 8 (KF8) will come with HTML5 support.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The big news here is that publishers will be able to make ebooks a lot more exciting, using interactive elements and snazzier layouts.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Ebook designers will be able to make use of CSS3 support and fixed layouts, as well as embedded fonts for a wider variety of typefaces. Books will also be able to have drop caps (which is when the first letter of a paragraph is enlarged to add a bit of variety).</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
There's also the option to include floating elements and bullet-point lists as part of the 150 new formatting options, which will all add a bit more interest to the whole Kindle experience.</div>
<h4 style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Unfortunately for us UK dwellers, the Kindle Fire will be the first Kindle product to support KF8, which means no flashily designed ebooks for us just yet.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
It makes sense, though – the Kindle Fire is the first of the line up to offer an all-singing, all-dancing colour touchscreen, so expect gorgeous looking art books, picture books and comic boo… er, we mean graphic novels.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
However, support for the new format is set to roll out over the next few months, taking in existing software and hardware as it goes.</div>

Specs and pricing have been rumored and all but confirmed over the past months, and now AndyPad’s official website have confirmed those rumors. As some of the cheapest tablets these are clearly some of the least attractive ones we’ve seen,but for the price you may find them worth it.</div>

Not to long ago we reported on a hands-on that gave us an idea of the performance these two tablets will be giving. Both the AndyPad and AndyPad Pro are now confirmed to be sporting a 1.2 GHz single core processor. They will both be running Android 2.3 with WiFi but there screen is the big difference between the two.</div>

At 129 British pounds, roughly $210, the AndyPad is a far cry from the Android tablets we’re used to. With a resistive touch screen, incapable of multi-touch, at a resolution of 800</div>

Wiklevoss twins finally settle with Facebook for £48 million

The Winklevoss twins, who have been engrained into the history of Facebook thanks to the movie <em>The Social Network</em>, have finally accepted a $65 million (£48 million) payout from Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook.<br/><br/>This comes after the twins decided to re-ignite their feud with Facebook and Zuckerberg – who they initially claimed took the idea of the social network from them – by trying to undo the settlement they agreed on in 2008.<br/><br/>In April, however, this was turned down by the Supreme Court and while they were going to appeal in May the twins have now made the decision not to.<br/><br/>"After careful consideration [the] appellants no longer oppose issuance of the mandate, and have no objection to vacatur of the stay of issuance of mandate," said the filing.<br/><br/><strong>Taking stock</strong><br/><br/>The Winklevoss case is one of the more interesting in the tech world, given that it stems from Zuckerberg's time at Harvard with the twins.<br/><br/>Originally they accused Zuckerberg of breaking an 'oral contract' with the twins, where he said he would complete work with them on their university social network idea, the Harvard Connection. Instead of completing this website, Zuckerberg went on to make TheFacebook – a social networking site that was originally restricted to Harvard graduates.<br/><br/>One of the reasons not to appeal may be to do with the amount of stock on offer. The money bundle has been split as £12.5 million in cash, £28 million in stock.<br/><br/>With estimates that Facebook could well be worth £100 billion in 2012, that stock option is now looking a lot more favourable than it did back in 2008.<br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/106215574334/u/49/f/9809/c/669/s/161c61a1/kg/221/a2.htm"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3277/66038347.gif" /></a><img alt="" height="1" src="http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/1962/11895464.gif" width="1" />
