iPhone 5 and LTE: Is it worth it?
With increasingly strong rumors about what the future will begin to emerge iPhone 5 questions about the device. One deals with the integration of LTE, since before the launch of the iPhone 4S thought it’s incorporated. The question now is whether Apple should introduce a iPhone 5 with LTE or maybe the technology is still too “young” for the phone company.
In Macstories we face an interesting point of view, even more interesting is logical. Just do the numbers to realize the extent of LTE connectivity. Of the 37 million Apple phones sold in the last quarter of 2011, very few ended up in areas with LTE, as some in the U.S., Denmark and Sweden and few cities in Canada and Saudi Arabia.
LTE gradually

Acer Iconia Tab A510 – In November 2011 first filtered through some documents that should not have been available publicly, the existence of a new Acer tablet that would replace or going on the “throne mainstream” to the popular and acclaimed Acer Iconia Tab A500. During the remainder of the year we did not hear of it, thinking that perhaps it would have been a prototype that never see the light, and although we got no confirmation of its existence by the Taiwanese firm during CES in Las Vegas held in early month, the new Acer Iconia Tab A510 with NVIDIA Tegra 3 is quite close to us.
In a pre-CeBIT event to be held in Germany between 6 and 10 March, the company clarified some details of its new 10.1-inch Android tablet, as the launch window and approximate price. To complement its recently announced commercial Iconia Tab A700 with FullHD resolution and quad-core SoC NVIDIA, the new Acer Iconia Tab A510 will be the step before this, probably with a conventional display of 1280×800 pixels and in theory a more affordable price than the “cap end “of the series Iconia Tab, and come to us, as announced by Acer, during the month of April at a price around 500 €. Not yet know the exact technical specifications of the new tablet, but taking into account the comments when it was officially announced Acer Iconia Tab A700 can assume that also feature an IPS panel, 1GB of RAM, 802.11n WLAN Bluetooth 3.0 between other typical features of such devices.
