Apple iPad Mini 3 unveiled (UPDATED)

After the announcement of the new Apple iPad Air 2 , the company announced the new iPad Mini3 , the new iPad Mini , unlike its big brother , has a Apple A7 soc , this processor , which was unveiled last year with the previous iPad mini is still a 64Bit processor , but its not going to steal any benchmark cups and trophies if you stack them up . The cameras on the new iPad Mini 3 have also been revamped in a subtle way , the new unit gets a 5mp camera and a improved front facetime camera , the iPad Air 2 meanwhile received a 8mp camera, but considering the rest of the upgrade , this small cut is negligible . The battery however has been left alone and it still offers the same 10 hour batterylife of previous generation . And of course , Touch-ID finger print sensor is now available on the iPad Mini 3 as well . The storage size of the new iPad is also changed , we initially guessed that the 16GB version will be omitted , but as it turns out , the company is keeping the 16GB version , but instead they are giving the boot on the 32GB version , which is now replaced by a 64GB variant.(read the rest of the specs below)

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...
