Huawei Ascend P1 hitting Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia in May; Latin America from June 2012 and Europe from summer
Huawei announced that its sexy-looking Ascend P1 smartphone will be available in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia through operators and retailers by May 2012, in Latin America from June 2012 and in Europe from summer, with other markets to follow.
If you recall from our previous writing on the subject, the Ascend P1 is available in two flavors with one of them (P1 S) being the world’s thinnest smartphone with dual-core processor. That CPU, in case you wonder, is TI’s OMAP 4460 clocking at 1.5GHz.
Aside from that, the Android smartphone also comes with a 4.3-inch qHD AMOLED touchscreen, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, front-facing one (for video calls), Dolby Mobile 3.0 with 5.1 surround sound technology, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth, and of course a microSD memory card slot.
Wondering how the Ascend P1 (and P1 S) feel(s) in hand? Check out our hands-on post from this year’s CES.

iPad mini in Q3 for $249-300 claim sources
Rumors around Apple’s iPad mini refuse to die down, with reports out of Taiwan suggesting the smaller slate is headed to market in Q3 2012 to take on Windows 8 machines as well as further Android models. The new iPad mini will be priced at a strongly competitive $249 to $299 according to NetEase, making it potentially half the price of the current third-gen new iPad.
As for who will be doing the honors in Apple’s manufacturing chain, according to the leaks both Foxconn and Pegatron will be producing the iPad mini. AUO is among the companies believed to be providing components for the tablet – in that particular case, the display – though exact specifications are still in short supply. According to earlier rumors, Apple is believed to be using a roughly 7.85-inch display, slotting the iPad mini Čítaj ďalej: http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/5EcRYrNTUK8/

Amazon Preps Larger Kindle Fire
The e-tailer ordered parts for a line of tablets from Taiwan-based chassis maker Catcher Technology, according to DigiTimes, but neither Catcher nor Amazon commented on specifics.
