It is not the fist time to see a quad-core Tegra 3 devices (Asus Transformer prime), However, Nvidia confirmed that we will see some new Exclusive Quad-core devices on the MWC 2012 event in Barcelona by the end of this Month (February 2012).

The Invitation image includes a smartphone, Saying that they will show some of the first quad-core Android handsets. We saw the first Android quad-core handset at CES 2012, but it was displayed behind glass with no Specs or Details whatsoever!

Previous leaks suggest that HTC and LG are both planning Tegra 3-powered devices featuring a 4.7-inch display with 720p resolution. May be Nvidia planning to show one of them.

As operators around the world look to curb people data usage by rolling out confusing pricing plans or just simply raising their rates, things are going a little bit differently in Russia. MegaFon, the third largest operator in Russia, recently held a contest whereby the person who could use the most amount of data would be awarded with a 150,000 ruble ($5,000) vacation overseas, the winner was someone who managed to pull 419 GB in a single week.

With some calculations, that is a constant download rate of 5.7 megabits per second. Not bad for a network that uses 21 Mbps HSPA+ technology, which is arguably inferior to anything offered in America, but on par with what is available in most of Europe. Some countries have 42 Mbps HSPA+ networks, but that technology is not widely deployed yet.

The truth of the matter is, men have spent more money on consumer electronics in the past and, as a result, women have unfortunately been left with ads targeted towards men or pink versions of everything. But no more.

According to a study out of the CEA, the same folks that brought you that over-sized week of madness called CES, more and more women are showing an interest in consumer electronics than they were in the past.

Specifically, eight in ten women expressed an interest in gadgets, up 10 percentage points from the same time in 2007. Of those women, 41 percent said they were "very interested" in consumer electronics. But it gets more interesting than that.

And perhaps the most important thing we can take away from this study comes out of the mouth of CEA manager of strategic research Jessica Boothe:

"Forget pink. Women don't want to be catered to with ultra-feminine looking products; they simply prefer lightweight devices that can fit smaller hands and smaller body frames. Women play many roles, like mother, spouse and career women, and CE products that can perform many functions are a necessity."

Technology is advancing slightly slower than the minds at Corning would have it, it seems, as the creators of Gorilla Glass present a second video in a series that brings the future to us now, glass based. The video moves from one technology to the next, starting with Handheld Display Glass, this essentially stemming off what Gorilla Glass already presents, it being thin and lightweight, damage resistant and what Corning plans for the future: 3D-projection ready! The loveliness then continues through an impressive display of lights and magic through a future we can only dream of.

Intel has just unveiled seven new members of its Sandy Bridge family of CPUs. We got three quad-core desktop processors of the Core i5 variety and four Celeron CPUs meant for use in mobile devices.

The first and most powerful of the new processors is Core i5-2550K, which is an unlocked-multiplier CPU with a stock clock speed of 100MHz higher than the i5-2500K. The i5-2550K runs at 3.4GHz, with frequencies of up to 3.8GHz possible with the Turbo boost.

The other two new i5 processors are 2450P and 2380P and they run at 3.2 GHz and 3.1 GHz, respectively. The P here stands for GPU-less, as those come without the built-in Intel HD 3000 graphics.

A recent sneak preview of the newest version of Adobe legendary photo editing software, Photoshop CS6, reveals some really cool stuff you can do to your phone photos.

Adobe senior product manager Bryan O'Neil Hughes gives us a glimpse at how he takes an ordinary photograph from his phone and brings back highlights and opens up shadows revealing details previously unseen.

Among other things, CS6 features a rewritten Camera Raw 7 module, which, as evident, is good for processing more than RAW images.

Qualcomm upcoming 28nm based Snapdragon SoCs (Adreno 225), codenamed Krait, are expected to arrive later this year. But a NenaMark 2 benchmark score on an unidentified device has leaked ahead of launch.

In this benchmark, we see this unidentified device, probably just a reference unit, running the MSM8960 processor with the Adreno 225 graphics. The device has a display resolution of 1024 x 600, same as 7-inch tablets but despite the higher resolution, it posts a rather impressive score of 54.90 in NenaMark 2.

Recall back in July of 2010 the US government ruled that jailbreaking and rooting were not a crime as long as the intention behind them is not circumventing copyright.

An organization called the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has issued a petition that anyone can sign the idea is to get enough objective opinions in favor of renewing the ruling. The EFF also wants to add tablets to the agreement.

The ruling is set to expire soon and unless renewed, jailbreaking and rooting of smartphones will become illegal once again.

Wireless standard 802.11n has been around for a while and naturally, it is time to look forward to the bright and speedy future of Wi-Fi 802.11ac. The new 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard is still in the works, but is bound to be finished and ready for testing come the end of this year.

It is faster and more efficient

Thanks to technologies like beam-forming and higher amplitude modulation used in Wi-Fi 802.11ac, you will be able to send data faster and more efficiently than the current 802.11n. up to 1Gbit/s faster. That is three times the speed of 802.11n.

This means that streaming HD video from your phone, tablet or laptop to an HDTV will be a breeze, not to mention syncing music or any file for that matter with your PC or laptop. Or you can even utilize the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard for distributing video from a cable or a satelite set top box to mulitple TVs across the router area.

Better coverage

Lets be honest here current-gen wireless routers do not have the best coverage possible. Yes, they have come a long way from past years, but still there are times when you go from one room to another and the Wi-Fi signal just dies on you.

With the introduction of 802.11ac this will be a thing of the past. Thanks to the aforementioned higher amplitude modulation, the new Wi-Fi standard provides better coverage with fewer dead zones.

Official numbers are mot out yet, but having in mind that the 802.11ac modulation has been quadrupled in comparison to the Wi-Fi 802.11n, I can't help but feel hopeful.

Worth the Wait until 2015

Yes, you read it right. According to NPD In-Stat analyst Gregory Potter, we will have to wait three more years until the mass production of smartphones, tablets, laptops and HDTVs featuring the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard ramps up.

Potter expects multiple devices supporting the standard draft specifications to pop-up at next year CES. But as is with most tech we see there, it will take a while for it to teleport into our pockets. At least, when the standard does become a Wi-Fi Alliance certified early next year, we will see more than 1 billion devices equipped with 802.11ac in a span of three years.
