ASUS hopes to unveil their new successor for the Infinity line at IFA 2013

You’ve got to hand it to Asus: their precocity brought quality to an Android tablet market previously relegated to cheap, underpowered, plastic nastiness. Though the company is perhaps best known for the Nexus 7, the Google-branded budget tablet, its first blockbuster brand catered almost exclusively to spec enthusiasts, packing then high-end internals into a 10-inch form factor. Despite quality control issues, they proved a favorite of Googlers and bleeding edge tech adopters alike. It comes as no surprise, then, that Asus released follow-up devices to continue to fill that profitable niche, most recently the Transformer Pad TF300 and Transformer Pad Infinity. The company’s latest offering might be just around the corner: Asus intends to reveal a new Transformer Pad on September 4th, according to the company’s Facebook page.

Most likely, the tablet is the Transformer Pad Infinity model Asus revealed in June – the Infinity line hasn’t seen refresh since last July. According to information the company provided at this year’s Computex, the new Transformer Pad Infinity features an impressive 10.1-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS display, a 4K-capable HDMI-out port, USB 3.0, a 5-megapixel rear shooter, and 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera. Internally, the tablet sports a Tegra 4 SoC, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage expandable via SD card slot. A redesigned QWERTY keyboard dock provides additional juice and extra ports, and will be available bundled for $499. (The tablet alone will retail for $399.) (AndroidAuthority)

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
