Vodafone has just released their latest Android-based smartphone, the HTC Desire Z. This one features a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, a 5MP AF camera with 720p HD video recording, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and version 2.2 of the OS with the new Sense UI. Check it out on Vodafone where it's available for free on select contracts.

Coming from a Taiwan source is a few rumours regarding the next Apple iPad. Apparently, the iPad will have a 9.7-inch Retina (LCD) Display, two dock connectors (that patents have hinted at many times), a USB port, a thinner and (slightly) smaller body, rear and front-facing cameras, and a 3-axis gyroscope. The launch for this one could be right on cue with the first one, so we could be seeing a late Winter / early Spring launch date (the iPad was announced in January and was released in April).

Earlier rumours said that the next iPad could also be a global tablet so we'll see if that actually comes true.
