ASUS Transformer Pad TF701T goes on sale in the UK on October 21 Oct 15th 2013, 14:59, by Richard Devine ASUS' latest tablet/laptop hybrid comes packing the specs, yours for £429.99 Initially announced back at IFA 2013 in Berlin, UK availability has finally been confirmed for the latest in the ASUS Transformer Pad line of devices. The catchily named TF701T comes with the now traditional keyboard dock included, and will go on sale in the UK via Amazon and eBuyer on October 21 for £429.99.  While the name may not capture the imagination, this latest Transformer Pad comes packing in the specs department. Some recent tablet offerings from ASUS have been lacking a little in the display department, but all that goes away with the TF701T. It houses a 2560x1600 resolution 10.1-inch IPS display that looks pretty darn nice. Underneath, NVIDIA's latest Tegra 4 chip pushes everything along backed up by 2GB of RAM. On-board storage is a respectible 32GB and the package also has both micro and full size SD card slots. A USB 3.0 port, HDMI out capable of driving a 4K display and a 5MP/1.2MP rear and front camera combination completes most of the important specs.  Of course, as with previous Transformer devices from ASUS, the dock also houses extra battery power for the ensemble. A 31Wh battery in the tablet and a 16Wh in the dock combines for a claimed 13 hour and 4 hour split on battery life, so around 17 hours claimed when used together.  More: Hands on with the ASUS Transformer Pad TF701T

Is T-Mobile getting ready to force customers onto their new plans? Oct 15th 2013, 14:09, by Quentyn Kennemer T-Mobile, the self-proclaimed “UNcarrier” that is shaking the wireless industry up with some big and bold moves to attract new customers, seems to be readying up another big move soon. According to several independent rumors from TmoNews and HowardForums, T-Mobile is apparently getting ready to migrate all of their customers to their new Simple Choice plans by the end of this year. The language in T-Mobile’s leaked letter suggests you only have two choices — accept the new plans, or get out of your contract without a fee. If true, this will be one of the fastest deaths of grandfathered plans or features we’ve ever seen. But who wouldn’t want to get on T-Mobile’s new awesome plans? According to the letter, T-Mobile will be giving users a 3-4 month grace period for deciding whether they want to go through with it, which should be ample time to consider all the positives and negatives. Ask yourself, though — if you’ve stuck with T-Mobile for this long, are you really willing to switch now? People I know with Simple Choice seem to love it, but we’d understand it if some of you aren’t comfortable with giving up a long-standing account that might have some invaluable features T-Mobile no longer offers to new customers. We’ll be looking to drag a response out of T-Mobile to see if there’s any truth to this rumor. In the meantime, let us know if you’d be down with switching to Simple Choice in the comments section below.

Sony SmartWatch 2, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra launch in the United States Oct 15th 2013, 15:00, by Quentyn Kennemer Sony fans may be a bit miffed that the OEM doesn’t get as much carrier love in the United States as, say, HTC, Motorola, LG or Samsung, but if you’re on a GSM carrier and willing to drop the big bucks required to buy their devices unlocked, we have some good news for you. Sony has officially announced United States availability for the Xperia Z1 and the Xperia Z Ultra, two of the latest in their high-end line of phones. The Xperia Z1 is a 5-inch 1080p HD device with a 20 megapixel camera, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM and more. This bad boy is available in Sony stores, at Sony’s online storefront, and at other select online retailers for $670 unlocked (HSPA+ only). The Xperia Z Ultra is a much bigger device, with its 6.4-inch full HD display, Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM and 8 megapixel camera. This one can be had for $650 with HSPA+ radios, or $680 for the model with LTE and HSPA+. Both these devices are waterproof and dust resistant thanks to IP55/IP58 certification, and are both available in purple, black or white. Sony’s latest phones aren’t the only ones seeing United States availability today. The Sony SmartWatch 2 has also arrived to go head to head with Samsung’s Galaxy Gear. For $200, you’ll be treated to a device with a 1.6-inch 220 x 176 display, NFC, IP57 certification for waterproof qualities, and an aluminum build. Oh, and unlike the Samsung Galaxy Gear, you can actually use this watch with most Android phones running Android 4.0 or higher. This device can also be found at Sony’s online storefront, as well as select Sony stores across the nation. Let us know in the comments section if you’ll be picking any of these up.

Sony announces U.S. availability of Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra Oct 15th 2013, 13:38, by Richard Devine Smartwatch 2 also seeing a Stateside launch alongside Sony's latest high-end handsets Literally days after Sony CEO Kaz Hirai seemingly poured water on a Sony breakout in the U.S, today we're treated to the news of three new device launches. The Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra and the Smartwatch 2 will all be available to purchase in the United States.  The Xperia Z Ultra is available from today at Sony's online store at $649.99 for the HSPA+ version and $679.99 for LTE. For that you're getting a monstrous 6.4-inch 1080p Triluminos display, a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800, 2GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Internal storage is a slim 16GB, expandable via microSD card, and it will be available in black, white and purple.  The Xperia Z1 is available in HSPA+ form only at a price of $669.99. Arguably Sony's finest Android handset to date, one of the marquee features of the recently launched Z1 is that 20.7MP Sony G-Lens camera on the rear. Round the front you're looking at a 5-inch 1080p Triluminos display, with a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 and 2GB of RAM underneath with 16GB of on-board, and expandable storage. It's also waterproof, if that's important to you. Both the Z1 and the Z Ultra are available now from Sony's U.S. online store, select Sony brick-and-mortar stores and selected online retailers.  The Sony Smartwatch 2 is the follow up to the original Smartwatch, and can be paired with Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich and above. It promises 3-4 days battery life, easy setup via NFC and an 'Android like' user interface. Our early hands-ons with the Smartwatch 2 find it lacking a little when compared to something like the Samsung Galaxy Gear, but it also costs much less. The Smartwatch 2 can be had via the same channels as the two phones, and can be yours for $199.95.  You'll find links to the Sony Store at the source below, and be sure to check out our extensive review and hands on coverage with the Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra.  More: Sony Xperia Z1 review | Sony Xperia Z Ultra hands-on   Source: Sony

Verizon's HTC One Max seems to be missing something Oct 15th 2013, 14:54, by Phil Nickinson No Verizon logo on its HTC One Max? Could this be? We wouldn't put any money on it. Anyhoo. It's coming to Verizon — we just don't know when or for how much. (Read whatever you want into that Nov. 1 date on the home screen there.) More: Verizon; HTC One Max forums
