Apple will likely bring out its next iPhone in late June, projects Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.
Assuming that forecast comes true, Munster believes Apple will sell 4 million units of the new phone before the month and the quarter are over. That estimate compares with the 5 million iPhone 5 handsets sold during that model’s opening weekend.
The analyst expects Apple to sell 30 million iPhones over the June quarter, a 15 percent increase over the same quarter a year ago.Read more

If you’re the type of smartphone user who is constantly searching for a charger or a phone that has longer battery life, E Ink’s latest prototype phone may catch your eye. Although this phone doesn’t boast of a large, colorful display with HD resolution, it does offer something other phones can’t: extreme battery life.
In fact, E Ink’s prototype Android phone is said to last for up to one week on a single charge. It does this by using the same E Ink display technology found in eReaders such as the Kindle and the Nook. Of course, there are some tradeoffs that come with this display. More specifically, the phone’s user interface and video playback capabilities aren’t going to compete with today’s high-end phones. In exchange however, you’ll get a phone with exceptional battery life and a display that’s very easy on the eyes.Read more

Nokia should be credited for formulating stunning budget Windows devices in the past. It’s most recent iteration, the Lumia 620 stands proud with its curved, contoured cup styling, masking under it a brand new Windows Phone 8 OS and a 1GHz dual-core processor.
While the handset is no powerhouse when compared to its heavyweight siblings, Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, it has enough juice for running daily errands and delivering a sweat-free mobile experience.
The Lumia 620 frames a handsome detailing. It brings onboard a second layer of colored, transparent polycarbonate on top of a base layer to produce secondary color blends and depth effects. Available in a rainbow of colors, (white, black, yellow, cyan, and magenta), the exchangeable shells can be customized to suit your taste. Read more

The past week was an interesting one for the mobile sector. Both Verizon ( VZ ) and AT&T ( T ) announced their respective smartphone sales for Q4 which were a record for each carrier. The iPhone led from the front at both Verizon and AT&T, implying another blowout holiday quarter for Apple ( AAPL ).
Nokia ( NOK ) also revealed its Lumia guidance for Q4, positively surprising the markets and removing uncertainties around a potential supply crunch. Research in Motion ( RIMM ) also stepped up to the plate, giving strategy insights ahead of the BB10 later this month. The BlackBerry maker said that it plans to launch six new BB10 devices this year which will help it cater to different price points and compete effectively in not only developed regions but also the international markets where the BB brand is still very popular.Read more

If you search on YouTube for “speed trials,” you will see the familiar speedometer and a ticking clock, but you won’t be looking at a Formula 1 racetrack. Instead you will be staring at an iPhone or a Galaxy screen, waiting to measure how long it will take to download a video clip.
Operators used to compete on providing the best, most feature rich devices, the best content downloads, or most attractive service packages. But now with smart phones becoming a commodity, and other operator services not gaining traction, the single most important differentiator is speed. As a result, more and more speed trials are sprouting up to find the operator with the fastest network.
In the U.S., PC Week has run speed trials three years in a row testing the five largest U.S. carriers: AT&T, MetroPCS, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. On September 21st 2012, the FCC (U.S. Federal Communications Commission) met with major carriers to initiate a joint project with major carriers to measure mobile data speeds.Read more
