AT&T looking to “buy something” in Europe

type="html" xml:base="http://www.intomobile.com/2013/06/24/att-looking-buy-something-europe/"> Looks like AT&T is looking to expand to Europe, big time. The American carrier is exploring different options in an effort to take advantage of the current economic crisis looming on the Old Continent. Various reports suggested different things: one said AT&T may be looking to acquire 30% of Telefonica; the other – they’re only interested in the group’s assets in Latin America; and then another – they want O2 UK. Telefonica on its end denied an approach by AT&T had been made. But that’s not all. A Bloomberg report claims assets owned by Vodafone have been considered, and so has EE – the UK joint venture between France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom. Finally, if AT&T couldn’t acquire anything in Europe, they may choose to offer services on an over-the-top basis directly to end-users. Possible candidates include the connected car and digital home services m...

New leak suggests iPhone 5S will rock dual-LED flash

type="html" xml:base="http://www.intomobile.com/2013/06/24/new-leak-suggests-iphone-5s-rock-dualled-flash/"> And yet again we have an “in the wild” photo of the upcoming iPhone 5S to show you. The new leak, provided by MacRumors , shows that the next Apple smartphone will add dual-LED flash to the mix to make for better photos when you take them in low-light conditions. MacRumors also noted that the main chip on the logic board is not labeled with an A-series name like A6 though that doesn’t say us much at this stage – Apple may print the chip name at a later point. Moreover, a date code visible on the bottom of the chip reads “1243″, suggesting that the chip was manufactured in the 43rd week of 2012, corresponding to late October. It’s unclear whether this is the same A6 chip used in the iPhone 5 or something newer, better. Finally, they say the battery carries a more recent Apple Part Number of 616-0652 compared to the iPhone 5 battery, which has carried seve...

Acer Aspire P3 review: a nice enough tablet, but wait for the refresh

Back when Windows 8 first launched, the Acer Iconia W700 quickly became one of our favorite laptop / tablet hybrids. There were two reasons for that, really: the price was right, and the battery lasted longer than pretty much any other Win 8 device we'd tested. The thing is, it was more of a business device than something we'd recommend to the average consumer. After all, it came with a heavy, desk-bound docking station, with the carrying case and included keyboard as standalone pieces. That's quite a lot to carry if you ever feel like taking it on the road. That's where the Acer Aspire P3 comes in. Don't worry, the W700 is still alive and kicking, but for people who've been looking for something more portable, this could be the one you want. Like the W700, the P3 starts at a reasonable price ($800) and has the guts of an Ivy Bridge laptop, including a Core i5 processor, Intel HD 4000 graphics, 4GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD. The difference is that rather than a cl...
