You might know that Verizon has plans to introduce a CDMA version of the iPhone next year and the carrier is also expected to launch a number of devices (includes the Droid 2 Global, the Droid Pro and other much-anticipated devices) on November 11. Now, a new rumor is suggesting that the Samsung Continuum and the LG Vortex could be on its way to Verizon as soon as October 29th. The Samsung Continuum is an Android smartphone and it was first seen a couple of months ago in a leaked Verizon roadmap for this fall. The Continuum, which is a Galaxy S device, was also spotted online

After some specifications were leaked back in September about the upcoming HD6000 series of GPUs, AMD has quietly revealed in their earnings call last night, they will be launching their second-generation DX11 graphics offerings next week. The new series will be dubbed “Southern Islands” and will be a refresh of the current HD5000 series, with 40nm manufacturing technology and higher performance. The power use is also expected to come down with the new generation of GPUs. The new HD 67×0 cards appear manifestly speedier than their predecessors — with faster clocks, more

Earlier, some leaked blurry pictures of the Samsung Continuum (Verizon’s next Galaxy S handset) were circulating online. Now, new pictures of the device have surfaced and they give us an opportunity to take a good look at the device which comes with dual screens. Just now, we had reported about a Verizon roadmap leak which showed the list of the carrier’s smartphone and tablet offerings for the coming months. The Samsung Continuum was spotted in the list, obviously, and the phone will be arriving in late October. One of the main features of the phone is that it will be

A new Verizon roadmap has surfaced and it provides a colorful picture of the carrier’s tablet and smartphone plans for the coming months. The leak suggests that one of the main offerings from the carrier will be the Motorola Stingray tablet. According to the leak, the Motorola Stingray will be arriving sometime in the first quarter of 2011. Earlier it was thought that the Stingray would be a smaller tablet, but the new leak reveals that it will be a bigger one coming equipped with a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen (with multi-touch support) and Android 3.0 Gingerbread. The

A whole lot of info just landed over at the guys at BGR from a source at Verizon Wireless and it details almost all of the wireless giant’s plans for 2010, 2011 and even 2012. The tips include info about a 1.3GHz smartphone, multiple tablet devices and LTE handsets and mobile hotspots. Interestingly, and possibly disappointing the iPhone fans, there is no mention of a CDMA iPhone in the roadmap. The flagship device mentioned is the Motorola DROID PRO, which is supposedly a 4 inch Android device with a 1.3GHz processor and global radio. It is apparently launching this

An HTC handset named Gold, which features Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 OS, along with the Nokia E7 will be launched in the UK in the month of November, according to a rumored roadmap leak. However, the credibility of the rumor cannot be confirmed by us at this point. The specifications and features of the HTC Gold handset have not been officially announced, though certain online reports suggest that the phone will be a UK variant of HTC’s Mondrian handset, which is rumored to include features such as a 1.3 GHz processor, 4.3-inch screen and a 5 megapixel camera capable of

Various new pictures of the upcoming Droid 2 smartphone from Motorola and Verizon have appeared on the Internet. Verizon has also been rumored to release the BlackBerry Curve 3 and Storm 3 handsets and a 10.1-inch tablet device this year as well. The latest Droid 2 picture leaks are of a confidential handset from the company, which clearly show the slider QWERTY keyboard. The Droid 2 has also been rumored to be launched by Verizon in the month of August this year, though the pricing of the device has not been revealed yet. It is also rumored that Verizon will release two

The 32nm dual-core Clarkdale processors that recently made their debut are about to pave the way for Intel’s next performance crown chaser, the six-core Gulftown. You might’ve known that already, but Intel’s decided to furnish us with the above slide detailing the particular differences between the two dies, with the most notable being the whopping 1.17 billion transistors that the new CPU will be composed of. The major attraction of Clarkdale chips lies in their power efficiency and competent integrated GPU, but the Gulftown focus will be firmly on the high

As if the Cortex-A9 isn’t stirring up enough emotion all by itself, ARM revealed the roadmap for an even faster iteration of its Cortex-A series of chips during its earnings call a few days ago. Codenamed Eagle, the new processor is slated for a production run of 3 billion units annually, but alas this slide shares no more information on it beyond the intended market of smartphones, mobile computing, and digital TV products. (We’ve definitely heard that it’ll be a 28nm multi-core part destined to ship around 2012, however.) There’s also word of a pair of

Microsoft makes most of its money form Windows and Office. These are two of its most important products and the Windows OS is normally on four-year release schedule. Microsoft blew that with the often delayed Vista OS and Windows 7 has just now hit the market. A leaked slide from a roadmap shows that Microsoft plans to offer Windows 8 in 2012. The slide shows Windows 8 is a major release and Windows 7 was a release update. I wonder what the difference between the two is in Microsoft’s terms. I guess Windows 8 will break away from what Windows 7 is doing rather than
