HTC will definitely be launching a new Android tablet in the UK, as well as a new mid-range smartphone from the Desire family, if recent rumours are to be believed.
The specs outline an Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone with a 4-inch 800 x 480 display, with a 1GHz dual-core processor and 768MB RAM, 4GB of user memory.

"Our hardware partners are doing some really cool things for the Windows Phone 8 launch."

That's the word from Greg Sullivan, Senior Product manager for Windows Phone at Microsoft, having seen what's in store for Windows Phone fans later in the year.

"We are really excited by the hardware we are seeing from our current partners. We are big believers in them," added Sullivan to Pocket-lint in a behind-closed-doors interview.

That confidence in what third-party smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, and Nokia are doing probably means that Microsoft is unlikely to look to build its own dedicated Windows Phone smartphone in the same way it has with the Surface tablet for Windows RT announced in June.

Windows 8 is now the finished article as the new Microsoft OS gets set to be “released to manufacturing” (RTM). However, the average consumer will still have to wait until 26 October.

The fact that Microsoft is in a position to begin rolling out an RTM Windows 8 version means that all testing and development have been completed.

For the consumer this time frame may cause frustration, but what it should mean is that by the 26 October launch, Windows 8 will be a polished OS will a host of apps available for download.

World's thinnest smartphone


							.

The Oppo Finder may lay claim to being the thinnest smartphone in the world; it also turns out it’s a bit of a bruiser. A video has been posted showing the handset being used to hammer nails into a block of wood.

While the phone is unlikely to retire the hammer – a couple of nails fail to fully bite the wood – the Oppo Finder appears to be left without a scratch on it. This is despite the screen as well as the side of the phone being used with some force.

The Oppo Finder is only 6.65mm thick, making it for now (thinner handsets are set to be unveiled) the world’s thinnest smartphone and is available in China for $393.

As well as its svelte body and super-strength build, the Oppo Finder packs a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is powered with a dual-core A15 processor and 1GB of RAM.
