Tech Week: HTC Sensation unveiled and iPad 3 rumours

 

News of the Week
HTC's new flagship handset has been the talk of tech town this week with the Taiwanese company officially unveiling the 1.2GHz dual-core HTC Sensation at a London-based press conference on Tuesday afternoon. Hours before the device was formerly unveiled, however, Vodafone leaked the Sensation, full specs and all, taking away some of the surprise. Following the device's arrival and in response to Vodafone's faux pas, Orange, O2, Three and T-Mobile all announced they will stock the HTC Sensation in June following the leaky red network's launch exclusivity.

 

Sticking with the new HTC device and a new revamped 3.0 version of the HTC Sense UI was unveiled alongside the HTC Sensation bringing a bevy of new features such as a smart app-touting lockscreen and 3D widgets to the popular skin. Whilst HTC's Android fans were excited by the arrival an official HTC announcement stating Sense 3.0 would not hit old devices later disappointed before the company flip-flopped on its own remarks stating the features of the UI would be available to existing handsets

 

Apple's brushed under the carpet flop that never was, the white iPhone 4 looks set to finally be making it to market after analysts and sources close to the matter 'promise' the white iPhone 4 will launch this month. A bold claim that we can only hope comes to life. This was later backed up by the Wall Street Journal which claimed Apple confirmed the white iPhone 4 will land in April.
