When you think about it, world’s first quad-core tablet is already out (Asus Transformer Prime), hinting us Nvidia is talking about something else. And what else could that be but a phone.

According to some reports, the device Nvidia will showcase may be the recently leaked HTC Edge (aka HTC Supreme), which as far as we know will be the Taiwanese company’s next flagship model.

Speaking of HTC, they will have their own press event when we’ll yet again get to play with the Edge and perhaps some other device like that HTC Ville.

In any case, we’ll be in Barcelona and share all the good stuff with you. Stay tuned…

So what we think they’ll announced at the big event? I guess it’s fair to say European/global version of the Xperia ion (without LTE) will be unveiled and perhaps some new tablet. For one thing I would like to see an Android-powered laptop that looks like the Vaio P, but that’s just me. On that note, we may even see new tablets, perhaps the first Sony device with a quad-core processor…

At the moment all we can do is wait and see look for the additional leaks in the days to come. As soon as we spot something worth talking about, you’ll be the first to know. Stay tuned.

It’s hard to tell at the moment, however we know the Korean giant has released few “Plus” devices in the past, including the Galaxy S Plus and Galaxy Ace Plus. Whether they’ll take the same turn with the Galaxy S II is hard to tell. Personally, I want a smartphone with a 720p screen like the LG Optimus LTE, HTC Rezound or Galaxy Nexus have, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’ll keep waiting for the real deal. Or grab the Galaxy Nexus instead.

From our experience with glasses-free 3D handsets, it’s easy to see that the technology is very much a novelty. That said, we were much more impressed with the 3D offerings that came from the Optimus 3D opposed to HTC’s EVO 3D, so we wouldn’t mind if LG took another stab at it. Said to be beefed up in the specs department, albeit slightly, the LG CX2 should still turn a few heads.

The handset will sport a 4.3 inch WVGA NOVA display, 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP processor, NFC, DLNA, HSPA+ 21 support, and the usual WiFi and Bluetooth. We can also expect to see the CX2 be slightly thinner than the Optimus 3D, which is more than welcomed. We like LG’s NOVA display but we were really hoping to see one of the newer True HD IPS panels on this new handset. Of course, using a WVGA display may help get the costs down on this CX2.

While the idea of glasses-free 3D is certainly an interesting one, it doesn’t seem like it belongs in phones just yet. Sure, it’s cool and novel but it’s still not where it needs to be to really interest the end-user enough to specifically seek out a particular handset using the technology. Maybe we’re wrong, though. Could the LG CX2 be the 3D phone the world has been waiting for? We will just have to wait and see.

What kind of specs would be a must-have for you if you were considering a glasses-free 3D phone? Does the CX2 fit the bill?

This beastly device is said to sport a quad-core processor, presumably NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 SoC. We won’t be terribly alarmed if we see a handful of devices shipping with quad-core processors but given that LG launched the Optimus 2X with the Tegra 2 before anyone else (and got into the Guinness Book of World Records because of it), the possibility of LG launching one of the first quad-core phones seems like a shoe-in.

Other notable specifications of the X3 include a massive 4.7 inch HD display, which we’d expect to be the same True HD IPS panel we’ve seen on some of LG’s newer Android devices. We can also expect an eight megapixel shooter on the back, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, 16GB of storage (expandable), WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, 2000 mAh battery, NFC, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Even though the handset should launch with the latest version of the OS, it looks like LG is still partial to capacitive buttons and will skip the on-screen soft keys provided in Android 4.0.

With a spec list that reads so well, one could easily expect that the X3 would land itself into HTC Rezound territory (read: fat and bulky). Luckily, it’s said that the X3 would keep itself below the 9mm mark, which is pretty impressive if you ask us. While the handset will likely launch in HSPA form, the X3 could get a LTE upgrade at some point, which would give it a nice data speed bump but make the device thicker as a whole.

Until we get an official announcement and hands or eyes-on time with the X3, this still very much a rumor. A rumor that will likely hopefully materialize in the weeks ahead. Stay tuned.

Sporting its own WiFi access point and HD camera, the AR Drone connects to a free application available for iOS and Android devices and that’s how you control it. The free application is loaded with options for navigation, along with games, and more. It’s a very fun and unique little flying machine but the quadricopter will run you $300. At that Price, you best be using it at least weekly.

We finally got some hands on time with the AR Drone 2.0 at the Central Plaza during CES, so check out the video below!

We know we’re IntoMobile but it was hard not to snap some shots of Samsung’s new Super OLED HDTV. I’ve personally never cared for HDTV Tech before but after seeing these new sets from Sammy, I think I’ll just start saving money now in hope that I’ll get one of these bad boys by next Christmas. Samsung also had a room you could go into to test out the new voice and gesture control features but that line was way too long.

The mobile devices we did see from Samsung this year are pretty familiar. We saw the likes of the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Nexus showcased in the booth. While we’re still really like the Galaxy Nexus, it was the AT&T Galaxy Note that was stealing most of the attention on the mobile side of the booth.

Take a look at the pictures below while we impatiently await what Samsung will be bringing to the table at Mobile World Congress 2012!

While the products and services on display may not be the biggest interests to our readers, the concept of the booth was. In the middle (core) of the booth was a clear tower, which symbolized Verizon’s LTE network. Extending from the core of the booth were legs, which are certain products that Verizon’s network can be integrated into. From consumer to public safety, Verizon’s booth was showing that it’s 4G network extends well beyond LTE radios in your shiny new phone.

There was a lot to see at the booth and we didn’t have time to take pictures of absolutely everything but have a look below!

Unfortunately we don’t have any dates or even name of the upcoming product — we do, however, know it will be available in more than 120 countries starting this quarter. Moreover, the price of the device wasn’t mentioned in the press release, though we hope it won’t cost a small fortune. We’ll try to get more details and even a review unit and get back to you as soon as we have something new to report. Stay tuned…

That being said, Qualcomm’s new Krait core is going to land in devices due to be released in the next few months and it’s estimated to be around 30% faster clock for clock than a Cortex A9, which isn’t as fast as the A15, but hey, it’s got a time to market advantage. Let’s not forget that Qualcomm also sells you the whole package, their Snapdragon platform comes with everything you need to slap into a plastic case and call it a day. Besides, we know that a fast chip doesn’t always translate into a fast device. It’s all about the software integration and how much crap the operators throw on top of Android.

Anyway, what also makes the OMAP 5 special is that it’s going to run Windows 8. If you’ve been wanting a tablet, but something that doesn’t run either Android or iOS, then Microsoft’s platform has got you covered. Expect more details about that during the second half of this year.
