The Next iPad Will be Called iPad HD and Support 4G?
Wednesday is iPad day, and rumors are flying through the Internet faster than ever. We’ve confirmed with a reliable source that the next-gen iPad will be called iPad HD.

Government Agencies and Colleges Demand Applicants’ Facebook Data

Samsung Launches Tiny Android Smartphone
Samsung has launched the Galaxy Pocket, a 2.8-inch budget Android smartphone. Its specs are nothing to write home about – it only has 3 GB of dedicated storage and an 832 MHz CPU – but it’s small, reasonably thick (12 mm) and it supports HSPA. It’s slated to hit the UK market later this year.
