We have been hearing rumors that Nokia are working on a new tablet, which will most likely be a Windows 8 based tablet, and the last thing we heard was that the device would launch in quarter four of 2012.
Now Marko Ahtisaari, who is Nokia’s design chief has confirmed that the company is indeed working on a tablet, the new comes from a Finnish publication which recently interviewed him.
Ahtisaari also told another publication that Nokia are working on a ‘revolutionary phone’, although we don’t have any details on the device we suspect it will be a Windows Phone handset and will probably feature Nokia’s PureView camera technology.
Earlier today we heard that UK mobile carrier Three would offer a subsidized version of the new iPad and now we have some details from another UK carrier, Orange.
Orange will offer the new iPad 3 on a 24 month contract which will cost you £25 a month, and for that you get 1GB of anytime data a month and 1GB of quiet time date, which is from 12 am until 4pm.
The pricing for the new iPad 3 on Orange starts at £199 up front for the 16GB model for existing customers and £229 for new customers, you can see full details below.
You can find out more information about the new iPad 3 on Orange over at their website.
With the launch of the new iPad 3 scheduled for tomorrow, Apple has started offering trade ins on last years iPad 2 through their reuse and recycling program.
Apple is offering up to $205 for the 16GB WiFi model, and the top 64GB WiFi and 3G model will get you up to $320 in Apple gift cards which can be used against the purchase of the new iPad 3.
There are some companies like Amazon who are offering slightly more for second hand iPad 2′s, and you could probably get more money for it selling the device on eBay or some other auction site, you can find out more information over at Apple.
Back in February, Samsung filed a new trademark for the ‘Samsung Galaxy Camera‘, and the trademark filing was related to goods and services with cameras and camcorders.
Now Samsung has confirmed to Engadget that they are considering producing a Samsung Galaxy Camera, which could run Google’s Android OS.
Samsung has confirmed that they are considering an ‘open’ camera operating system, and considering Samsung’s involvement with Android we would suspect that the open OS is in fact Android.
We suspect it could be a while before we see an Android powered camera from Samsung as soon as we get some information we will let you guys know.

Grubby floors beware; iRobot has introduced a new floor washing ‘bot, the Scooba 390, a full-size version of the Scooba 230 that demands less prep work by its human owners. Where the 230 could wash your tile, linoleum or hardwood floor but first insisted that you manually brush it, the Scooba 390 includes a rotating brush to scoop up any obvious dirt before it gets down to more intensive cleaning.
As with the smaller robot, it uses two tanks – one for cleaning fluid, the other for dirty water – which is sloshed down on the floor after the Scooba has swept it. A darn good scrubbing follows, before the dirty water is suctioned up for later disposal.
