T-Mobile G2X dual-core Android phone officially announced. First to come pre-loaded with Tegra Zone.

The T-Mobile version of the Optimus 2X by LG was rumored to be coming and was even spotted in a picture as booths were being set up at CTIA. Well it has now been officially announced with the name G2X which was recently leaked as well. This will be T-Mobile's first dual-core Android phone and also the first to come pre-loaded with nVidia's Tegra Zone app.

In case you are unaware of what Tegra Zone is, this is an app by nVidia that acts as a marketplace for Tegra 2 (and beyond) optimized games to make them much easier to find. It also offers reviews from sites (like ours) right in the description, gameplay videos and other great features you can check out before making a purchase. When you do make a purchase, it will use Google Checkout so no need to sign up for some other payment system if you already have a Checkout account.

T-Mobile G2X Specs recap:

• Tegra 2 dual-core chip
• 4" screen
• Front and Rear cameras
• 1080p HD video capture and playback
• 4G and WiFI

Basically all the specs of the Optimus 2X are the ones for the G2X since it is the same phone. The only difference so far is that it will be coming pre-loaded with the Tegra Zone application. Also instead of any sort of skin running over Android, it'll be running stock Android 2.3. You can expect the G2X to be available sometime mid-April (rumors put it at April 20th).

If you're on T-Mobile this would be one phone to seriously consider getting if you plan to play any heavy graphical games.

White iPhone Is Coming This Spring June 2011 | Release Date & Review

The news surrounding the new upcoming Apple iPhone 5 and its release date is getting very hot under the collar to say the least and if all true a June release date is looking good.

The Motley Fool on MSNBC is reporting that the iPhone 5 will be available from June 20, 2011. We all know that the white iPhone 4 is releasing June 20th and Apple Marketing Phil Schiller verified this via Twitter. Now the question is will they release the white iPhone 4 or a new iPhone 5? Just a simple question we felt we should ask.

Apparently the iPhone 5 will come to Market June 20, we all know that Apple WILL NOT release at the white iPhone 4 and the iPhone 5 at the same time and considering Apple always releases a new iPhone in June we are suspecting it will be a new smartphone and not just a new colour, we could be wrong but we are only going on past releases.

Looking at other news covering the new iPhone 5 comes via MacRumors by way of China Times Reports (via GadgetsDNA) showing new photos of the metal chassis, MacRumors titled it article “iPhone 5 Due in Q3, 4-Inch Screen, Metal Chassis?”

China Times Reports the metal chassis and suggests that this new metal rim will help with signal as it will be the main antenna sensitivity, it will also be a 4-inch touchscreen smartphone. It is looking like the iPhone 5 will look like the iPhone 4 so not much in the way of design change here.

The Apple iPhone 5 may also support both GSM and CDMA networks just like the Verizon iPhone as we know this works.

iPad 2 Covers | iPad 2 Set To Debut in 25 More Countries Friday

Two weeks after the U.S. launch, the iPad 2 will become available in 25 additional countries on Friday, March 25, Apple has announced.

The countries are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the U.K.

Apple’s suggested price for the iPad 2 is the same as the U.S. price. It starts at $499 for the Wi-Fi-only, 16 GB model, and costs $829 for the 64 GB model with Wi-Fi and 3G. However, in reality, the prices in most of the above countries will be somewhat higher than in the U.S.

Apple has also announced that the iPad 2 will be available in Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and additional countries in April.

 Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster estimates between 400,000 and 500,000 iPad 2’s were sold in its first weekend, according to the UK’s Telegraph. This compares to 300,000 original iPads sold in its first weekend in April 2010.

Confirming Piper Jaffray’s numbers, Deutsche Bank’s Chris Whitmore calls it “one of Apple’s most successful product launches to date.”

In a survey of 236 potential buyers, Munster found 70 percent of iPad 2 buyers were new to the iPad. This compared to just 23 percent of iPhone 4 buyers who said the same thing when that product launched in June 2010.

This is significant in that it shows Apple is expanding its base of iPad users, which is critical in its quest to retain the lead in the growing tablet market.

However, at least in the short term, those numbers will only grow so much. For those that don’t own an iPad 2, or ordered one earlier online, you are out of luck. It appears most of the iPad 2 inventories are now exhausted.

Apple has yet to confirm these number
