China’s Commercial Times reports that the productions of the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 will commence in February and May this year, respectively.
For the iPad 2 this could very well mean that the rumors of its April launch may turn out true. The Chinese report also states that Foxconn and Pegatron will work with Apple as manufacturing partners for the second-generation iPad.
Further, the report claims that Apple is likely to begin production for the fifth-generation iPhone. This, too, stands in tune with Apple’s policy to release a new iPhone in June.

The Android Operating System has been gaining momentum in regards to popular smartphone operating systems. The Google creation is sought after by many for its versatility and use of Google tools. Currently, two popular smartphone models that run on this system are Samsung’s Galaxy S and the HTC Desire.
The display of the Galaxy S measures 4 inches with an 800 by 480 pixel Super AMOLED display. The HTC Desire comes with a smaller display, measuring 3.7 inches. It also has a similar resolution of 800 by 480 pixels however; it is just an AMOLED display. The screen found on the Galaxy S is 20% brighter and also requires 20% less power than previous models. Another aspect of the Galaxy S is that is 80% less sunlight reflective. Overall, in regards to display, the Galaxy S clearly emerges as the victor.
The storage capacity of both phones also varies. Both phones do have the option of expandable storage but both phones come with different storage space. The HTC Desire comes with storage space of 521 MB. The Samsung Galaxy S clearly outdoes the Desire by offering users a choice of either an 8 GB storage option or 16 GB storage.
The HTC Desire comes with a camera that offers an LED flash. This is better than the Galaxy S which doesn’t have a flash, making low light photography difficult. However, in all other aspects, the camera built in the Galaxy S is clearly better than that of the Desire. The designers of the Galaxy S were forward thinking and anticipated a Skype app for Android in the near future. Therefore, they place a VGA front facing camera in their phone. Additionally, the Galaxy S also can record video at 30fps.
In the aspect of connectivity, the Samsung Galaxy S is tops here. While both phones do have the same Wi-Fi connectivity, the Samsung Galaxy S does come with a better version of Wi-Fi. It comes with n-Wi-Fi for better connectivity. Another plus is that the Galaxy S comes with Bluetooth 3.0 while the HTC Desire has Bluetooth 2.1.

In a video below, PocketNow compared the iPhone and a prototype Windows Phone 7 phone and showed the differences in the interface and totally different approaches the two platforms works upon to perform tasks. The home-screen itself shows clear differences. While iPhone is an application-centric platform that shows different icons for applications on the homescreen, the Windows Phone 7 phone follows the action-centric approach whereby dynamic tiles showing live feeds of data are displayed on the homescreen. Check out the video below:
