Sony Ericsson Xperia X12 leaks

We've never rated the Xperia X10 much.. it's a decent enough effort, but it simply isn't competitive against the HTC Desire due to its hardware and software limitations. So, the leaked Sony Ericsson X12 looks significantly better with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread", a bigger 4.2" display and a speedy Qualcomm MSM7230 processor.

There have been several leaked photos along with some fairly detailed specifications, we guess that the X12 will be announced very soon for market introduction sometime in the first half of 2011. But will they be able to compete effectively with HTC, Motorola and Samsung when it comes to high-end Android phones?

$35 Android tablet rumoured for India

File this one under "rumours", because frankly we don't think that it is possible.. but AndroidOS.in  is covering a story about an alleged $35 Android tablet for the Indian market, with a 5" display, WiFi, 2GB internal memory and a USB port for $35.. what is even more unbelievable is the claim that it could go even lower.

Frankly, we don't think that this is possible.. even in large volumes. Things like 5" touchscreens are fairly pricey, and high demand for them would possibly even drive prices up due to component and raw material shortages. Even Nokia can only manage something like the Nokia C1-00 for that price. Anyway, good luck to them, we say..
