Full Photo Session Of The Asus PadFone Leaks OUT

 It turns out there is some unorthodox innovation in the Asus PadFone, after all. A smartphone/tablet combo seems like a pretty neat idea already, but to differentiate it from something like the Motorola ATRIX 4G & Laptop Dock, Asus has provided not simply a slot, but a whole compartment where the phone gets tucked in, with a lid closing above it.

 It looks like the phone slides in there, and hooks up with the USB and HDMI ports, to become one with a bigger 10" screen, some stereo speakers, and, we'd wager to guess, a way bigger battery for long hours of happy Android-ing.

 Not that Android is mentioned explicitly as the operating system, but knowing how Ice Cream Sandwich aims to bring together the Android smartphone and tablet user interfaces, it's rather likely that the Asus PadFone has been conceived with the next version of Android in mind. The phone's 5MP camera seems to be utilized for a picture and video shooter in tablet mode as well, another svelte idea.

WP7 HTC 12-MegaPixel Phone Leak Out

 Windows Phone are developing platform, but it hasn’t had a single cameraphone that would truly appeal to the photo enthusiast. This changes now as images of a 12-megapixel cameraphone by HTC leaked out in the hands of notorious, but the similarity with the HTC Trophy or the rumored HTC Mazaa is noticeable. Design-wise, the yet unannounced handset looks very refined, with a sleek body, while on the front a silver line encircles the screen adding to the premium look of the device. A large speaker grill on top contributes to the industrial “HTC” feel of the handset. The only other tiny detail we could notice is a volume rocker on the left side.

 You’ve probably heard rumors about the HTC Bresson, which is supposed to up the stakes in the megapixel race to 16 megapixels, but this HTC-branded handset running Windows Phone 7 is as real as it gets. With a 12-megapixel camera on board, it’s easily one of the most enticing photo-centric WP7 solutions. It should offer plenty of camera options, but so far we can only be sure about various exposure settings, which you can see on the images below.

  The device is definitely not a Nokia, which leads us into thinking that it might roll out earlier than a Nokia-made handset. While HTC hasn’t exactly flourished when it comes to cameras in the past, it has made significant progress in its latest phones and now it might even catch the attention of photo enthusiasts if it manages to get the handset to shelves earlier than Nokia. What's your suggestion about this handset.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Reconsidering Their View On Their Marriage

 

London:Brad Pitt and his baby momma Angelina Jolie have repeatedly asserted that they have no plans to marry, but it looks like the couple could be considering a u-turn on the matter.

 Brad has previously been quoted on the subject of marriage, saying, “Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," which is an admirable stand point. But Brad has now told USA Weekend that their kids could be behind a change of heart. Says the dad of six, "The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at.

 Opening up about life in the Jolie-Pitt household, Brad explains that if he wants some grown-up time with Ange he’ll tell the kids, "There are no secrets at our house. We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it."  Hmmm, we can’t decide if this cute or indeed gross. 

 The heartthrob also shed some light on the family’s nomadic existence, and how they live as they travel the world, “On the road, we're a military mobile unit. The kids have got their stuff down to one backpack, and they're each responsible for their own bag. Mom does the packing; she's quite gifted at that. Puts in just what we need – nothing extra. We're pretty nomadic. We go where the crops are. Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us.

MocoSpace Survey Men Outspend Then Women 9:1 on virtual goods

Part of new burst of stats released on the company's mobile social gaming service: 

 

Men account for nearly 90% of the virtual items bought on MocoSpace's mobile social games network, the company has announced.

 That's despite the fact that the gender split is roughly equal when it comes to actually playing the games. 53% of MocoSpace's mobile social gamers are male, versus 47% female. The men spend an average of 21 minutes a day playing the company's mobile web games, while women spent 19 minutes.

 In other words, there are nearly as many women spending nearly as much time as men playing the games, but they're spending a lot less on virtual items. MocoSpace says 69% of male gamers are buying virtual items on its platform versus 31% of females, and that overall, those men account for nearly 90% of its virtual goods sales.

  "Our research shows that from a business perspective both genders demonstrate high levels of engagement, which is good for advertisers - but men and male-dominated titles tend to drive bigger revenues for mobile social game developers," says CEO Justin Seigel.

Most Paid Android Apps Downloaded About 100 times:

 It has been found that 20 per cent of all free apps and 80 per cent of all paid apps have been downloaded fewer than 100 times on the Google Android Market worldwide to date.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale, 96 apps have been downloaded more than 5 million times in the Android Market, with Google Maps achieving  50 million plus.

The report concluded that it is more difficult for apps on Android Market than Apple App Store to monetise using a one-off fee.

It said that only two paid apps have been downloaded more than half a million times in the Google store against six for iPhone.

And in the games space, there were five Android titles over 250,000 worldwide, and ten for iPhone in the US alone in two months.

Some of this comes down to the dynamism of the charts. It seems that the refresh rate of top app charts is significantly higher in the Apple App Store.

In April, for example, 94 different apps figures in the iPhone top ten free or paid), but only 26 on Android.

Here are the percentages of Android apps that have achieved certain download.
