Just when you thought the dual-core 1.5GHz CPU and the upcoming Tegra 3 CPU were fast here comes a new rumour. Engadget has gotten an exclusive rumour dubbed the HTC "Zeta". Apparently, this super-superphone will feature an upcoming and obvious next-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core APQ8064 2.5GHz CPU which just sounds absolutely insane. Other specs reportedly include a 4.5-inch 720p display, 32GB of storage, Beats Audio, Bluetooth 4.0 / WiFi support, an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, a 9.8mm thin body that weighs 146 grams, a 1,830mAh battery, and Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" with the Sense UI. The body actually looks very HTC-like but keep in mind that it's just a rendering right now.

Now, they say it'll have ICS at launch but the buttons are still present so hopefully those will disappear before the launch that should be coming sometime in 2012. That Galaxy Nexus isn't looking like a beast anymore.

HP looks like they're gearing up to launch their own ultrabook. It's going to be a 13.3-inch model which will be called the Folio. The notebook is said to feature an Intel Core i3 1.4GHz CPU / Core i5 1.6GHz CPU, a 128GB SSD, and 4GB of RAM. Apparently, you'll be able to upgrade the RAM inside to 8GB which would be great. The body is said to be similar to the Pavilion dm3 so that could be a good or bad thing. The price is unknown right now and the same can be said with the release date.

Looks like RIM has finally announced the Curve 9380 and Bold 9790 smartphones. Both of them pack OS 7 and NFC; they should be available soon as well. The Curve 9380 packs a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 5MP camera, an 800MHz CPU, and 1GB of storage. The Bold 9790, on the other hand, packs a 2.44-inch touchscreen display, a 1GHz CPU, 8GB of storage, a microSD card slot, and a 5MP camera.

Update: Mobile Syrup has just mentioned that the Bold 9790 will be hitting Rogers in Canada before this holiday season kicks off. They've also briefly mentioned that the white BlackBerry Curve 9360 and Bold 9900 will be available soon.
