Following the news surrounding Apple's proposed nano-SIM format - which is essentially a mico-SIM stripped of all unnecessary "bevel" plastic - it appears that European mobile carriers are preparing for the launch of the next-generation iPhone by stockpiling on nano-SIMs. Given that the standard was proposed by Apple (while they aren't named exactly, it's evident that the approved design is at least heavily based on their proposal) - and subsequently approved by ETSI (the European Telecommunications Standards Institute) - it's fairly safe to assume that they will be using it in their next-generation iPhone.
The Xbox 360 may be something of an ageing console, but nonetheless, Microsoft has still been working very hard in updating and improving the experience year by year. What started out, with the original Xbox, as a strictly gaming machine, now boasts a plethora of content, and as well as an extensive number of streamed feeds available, deep integration with mobile devices has become something of a necessity.

Unveiled late last month at Google I/O 2012, the Nexus 7 is one of the most well received tablets since the iPad 2. Critics are absolutely loving the Nexus 7 because it offers the features of a $500 tablet – quad core processor, a gig of RAM, HD display, long lasting battery life, powerful graphics etc. etc. – at just $199.

Although Microsoft didn't stipulate an Office 2013 announcement would be arriving today, the blogosphere has been abuzz with regards to today's announcement from the Redmond company.

Announced at Google I/O last month alongside Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the Nexus 7 tablet, the Nexus Q is the sort of gadgetry that has, so far, left most of us wondering, “Why, Google?” It has the innards of an Android smartphone, and strictly requires an Android device to work. All it does is stream TV shows, movies and music from the Google Play Store and videos from YouTube. It doesn’t even work on its own as you need an Android smartphone / tablet to control it. To top it off, it costs $299 which is simply unreasonable for a device with such a limited feature set.

As 9to5Mac speculates, Apple could finally launch OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) on July 25th, the justification behind the guesstimate being the planned overnight updates occurring at Apple Retail stores on July 24th. During this update period, staff would assemble various marketing information such as posters, while also installing the brand new operating system on each and every Mac within a store. Given Apple has already confirmed OS X Mountain Lion would arrive later this month in a $19.99 upgrade over at the Mac App Store, the 25th would seem as legitimate a date as any, but although 9to5Mac seems fairly sure, reiterated that it is more knowledge-based estimation than unofficial confirmation.
