Though analysts usually know nothing more than regular ol' John Apple Fan at home, they do sometimes get access to tech factories and shredded supply chain documents hinting at upcoming products. One analyst, Topeka Capital's Brian White, claims to have actually held an iPad Mini prototype and even put it in his…

We've already heard that the next Nexus phone will be made by LG and be kinda, sorta similar to the powerful LG Optimus G but this might be the first time we're getting a good look at it. A gallery of photos of an LG Android phone that looks like the Optimus G and runs stock Android has popped up at XDA developers.…

It was summer 2009. Microsoft had just shipped the final code for Windows 7 to PC manufacturers, who had begun burning it onto the tens of millions of new computers that would ship that Christmas.

It doesn't seem fair that the MacBook Air line has several features over the MacBook Pro (sleek profile; USB ports on both sides; higher-res screen...). A major design refresh to the Pro line, the first in three years, has been bandied about for months now, but according to Japanese site Macotakara, Apple's definitely…

Sources with Droid-Life claim to have images of the yet-to-be-announced Xoom 2, and they might just be right. Without much to go on, it does kind of resemble Motorola's earlier mock-up and even a shot leaked last week. Curiouser and curiouser.

AppleInsider has sources telling them that a MacBook Pro refresh will happen sometime in the next month, which would include updating to the most current Core i5 and i7 processors before the new generation hits next year. [AppleInsider]

This isn't the first time we've heard mutterings of Samsung's Nexus Prime, but according to the Korean Electronic Times paper, it could launch in October with Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich.

Just in case you really weren't sure that Apple was readying a new iPad, the WSJ's sources have tipped them off about an early 2012 launch for the high-res 9.7-inch iPad 3, which will allegedly have a 2048x1536 display.

Look, we get it RIM—your BBM service is great. But a music-streaming service that runs in BBM? WTF? Cnet heard from sources that they've signed papers with one of the four big music labels already.

Appearing alongside the perpetually-delayed Bionic (left) in some leaked pics sent to Engadget is the Droid HD (right), which is said to have a 4.5-inch HD screen (possibly qHD?) and a size zero width.

Spoiler: I don't know. But it looks like the Vigor isn't the only phone HTC has in the pipeline. This is HTC Holiday, and it has a California license plate. And a 4.5-inch qHD screen.

I really like this rumor: apparently the HTC Vigor will be the first handset HTC's new acquisition, Beats by Dre, will show up on, but apart from that it's tipped to have a 4.3-inch screen with 1280 x 720 resolution.

Apple failed to introduce a new educational discount for iPads, but that doesn't mean they've forgotten about students altogether. 9to5Mac has heard that a new, more affordable iMac aimed at students will be released this month, maybe on August 16th.

Engadget is showing off a new Playstation Vita ready to be pre-ordered at Best Buy, but in the Great White North. The dates indicate a March 2012 release. Meanwhile, the UK can expect the console to drop on October 28.

Phone sizes keep creeping up, to the point where I worry using a 10.1-inch tablet will soon become the norm. If rumors are correct, Sony Ericsson's thinking big with their first glasses-free 3D phone—a possible PlayStation phone, perhaps?

According to John Paczkowski from All Things D, we've got it all wrong—the iPhone 5 won't launch in September, fools! Even though Apple's supposedly banned employees from vacationing in the last fortnight of September.

What's the best way to skirt over yesterday's announced redundancies? Announce via Twitter and Facebook that your first OS 7 phones are being announced the next day, and then ensure Verizon accidentally leaks a video of the 9930.

Mere moments before Apple shows its hand, and 9to5Mac has leapt in with a killer last-minute reveal. According to them, we can expect new MacBook Airs, Mac Minis and a brand-new Thunderbolt Display, with the following specs:
