Other news regarding Samsung is there are rumours about a new 7.5in Samsung Galaxy Note, with the aim of filling the gap between the Google Nexus and their Galaxy Note. Apparently speculation began when test certification was listed for two models and the model numbers of GT-N reflects back to the Note II and Galaxy 10.1. But then there is another listing with the prefix of GT-T which is something completely different. So there we have it, nobody knows, but one thing is for sure, with the Apple Ipad mini making waves, Samsung won’t be letting themselves get swept away.

However, if we look at the reasons for a mini Ipad, then we may glean a little bit of truth. Firstly, the Ipad has gained a bit of weight since its first appearance, whereas the likes of the Kindle Fire and Google Nexus & and Hook HD are lighter and at a better price to suit many budgets. A good reason for Apple to consider this market, also there are rumours October is the date for unveiling, avoiding stealing the thunder of the Iphone 5.

What else is going round the mill about the little un’. Well, of course we need to think about the price, what will this latest piece of Apple technology cost us? Recent quotes flying about are around the £200 mark, jeepers, seems they might be serious about the budget market.

Let’s just see what Christmas brings, as if it is going to make an appearance, who wouldn’t want that in their stocking.

Alongside, the mentioned upgrades there is in the video shooting, the last iPod could only manage 720p the new version has leapt to 1080p, impressive. If you needed more convincing to upgrade your iPod then note, there is no contract and you can do just as much as on an iPhone, except the obvious use of a phone and it is much cheaper to own.

The latest news is there are rumours of them about to be dispatched, pre-orders have been debited off of credit cards and there is also chat of Mac users being notified of the item being ready to ship. Although Apple hasn’t stated a specific date, it won’t be long before they hit the shops for Christmas.

The Canon EOS 6D DSLR has become the lightest weight DSLR in the world, it has a 20.2megapixel camera and it is also the first in the Canon range to feature Wi-Fi and GPS. But that is not all Canon are offering there is also the Canon Powershot SX50 HS sports, this little number has a 50x optical zoom.

But it’s not just Canon at Photokina, there is also Samsung, Fujifilm and Olympus as you would expect, however the latter two are sporting a more retro style of camera, although they are fully modernised to the discerning buyer, they are an acquired taste.

There is one thing for sure; the amateur and professional photographer will not be disappointed with the latest advances in camera technology.

There has been backtracking on this leak, as expected, but it still not clear if this is the release date. However, there is a bright side, if people are already talking about it, then their marketing is definitely getting off to a flying start, this in turn could be good news for Nintendo as they posted a loss in April 2012 of £329 million, as sales of the Wii and Nintendo 3DS curtailed. Could this be what they need to boost sales for Christmas?

Other news and as always the iPhone is centre of attention, this time tongues have been wagging about the iPhone5 again, which if you remembered turned out to be the iPhone 4s, well this time it’s meant to be released at the end of 2012. But again, there is nothing definite, but in September Apple should be letting everyone know when they take to the stage, as they do every year. According to some this version is what will be the legacy of Steve Jobs, so we can only assume it will be something very special.

It’s not only Apple that have set tongues wagging, there is also Samsung, with the new Galaxy Note due to be revealed in August, there seems to be a lot happening that month. However, Sony and their PS3 could be up for a revamp, maybe even becoming the PS4 but this rumour seems to be avoiding the summery month of August and heading towards the year 2014, quite a way off in the future.

But the best bit of news, although not a gadget, is the clear bendy TV’s, not available yet, before you get too excited, LG is trying to develop the screens, apparently Samsung are looking to be developing the idea also, who will be the first to get these into the main stream? Once developed, the screens will be able to be viewed anywhere in the home, attach it your headboard on your bed, or your garden fence, limitless. Although they will probably be used mainly for advertising on bus-stops and such.

The Miro comes with a 5MP camera and being a Sony you expect good audio, which this has, however you will have to wait as there is no release date given. Maybe they are thinking of releasing it for Christmas, perfect for a youngster’s first phone.

For all you camera lovers out there, you will be happy to know that Samsung have unveiled the EX2F, not only has it got Wi-Fi for sharing images, it has the largest aperture of any compact camera out there at the moment. It has a dual capture system, meaning you can take video and stills at the same time.

This beauty of a camera should be ready to buy in August and if you are keen to part with your cash, then you’ll be pleased to know it will come in at £429.

Other news, HTC is apparently becoming the snob of the smart phone world, with the CEO Peter Chou saying they are not looking to produce cheap phones. Their strategy seems to be focused on the mid to high end market as they use quality materials and this is reflected in their brand. It’s not surprising a strong stance has to be made and with so many smart phones on the market, HTC may eventually become the brand to have, but they will have to battle past Apple and Samsung first, not an easy feat.

For the strangest bit of news that we all knew would eventually happen is, the Government snooping on emails. Apparently we’ll all be kept safe from harm if this was allowed to proceed, giving the police access to your internet history. Is this the even bigger big brother or completely necessary because of our changing lifestyles?

It is what it is, there doesn’t really seem to be anything special about it but if your main aim is to just make phonecalls, send text messages and check your emails, you’ll love the battery life you get with the phone. It’s priced around £150, but if you compare it with others on the market at the same pricing level, it falls short. The 9320 is worth buying if you can haggle or there is an offer going on.
