Posted on January 25th, 2011 No comments
The latest leak from the Apple camp indicates that the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 will be able to use “near-field communication” technology.
Near-field communication – or NFC – allows compatible devices to communicate data over a short distance, probably no more than about four inches.

A fresh peek at the Nokia MeeGo tablet

Today’s leaked image of Nokia’s long awaited MeeGo tablet has sent the internet rumour-mongers into overdrive once again.
Details for the device have been sketchy since it was announced last year and, despite the fact that developers have been busying themselves making software for the tablet since last October, we are still no closer to a confirmed release date.
The picture – apparently showing a tablet device using the Nokia MeeGo platform – pretty much confirms that the device will be a landscape orientated tablet. This was fairly likely all along, but it is the size of the Nokia logo that has fuelled further speculation.

The tablet will also feature a 7.0 inch touchscreen, but further than this the trail runs cold. Details for this device are understandably thin on the ground.
