Qualcomm may provide the innards of the next Nexus tablet
[h=3]Google[/h]
According to a report by Reuters, Google is planning an updated Nexus 7 tablet, but the company will be switching to a Qualcomm processor instead of using Nvidia's new Tegra 4. Reuters' sources say the new tablet will debut in July, featuring a higher-resolution screen and thinner bezel. Reportedly, the decision to switch came down to the power requirements of Nvidia's processors.
Sources further said that Google could lower the price of the entry-level Nexus 7 to $149, increasing the pricing gap versus Apple's iPad Mini. Asustek will remain the manufacturer of Google's 7-inch tablet.
Qualcomm and Nvidia have been fighting in the mobile market, but Qualcomm has retained a solid lead in smartphones due to Nvidia's previous lack of an LTE modem for its Tegra processors. The company announced an LTE soft modem earlier this year. The Tegra 3 gained prominence in tablets form factors, but Qualcomm's possible Nexus win could turn the tide.

The South Korean firm is expecting to record a 53 per cent jump in profits across the first three months of the year.
Buoyed by strong sales of its smartphone range, Samsung is anticipating operating profits of 8.7tn won (£5bn) over the first quarter of the year – a sharp increase over the 5.7tn won over the same period a year ago.
Whist the guidance will be followed up by a full earnings report later this month, the preliminary figures are greater than those forecast by analysts. However, they fall short of the firm's fourth quarter profits of 2012, which closed at a record $8.3 billion.
Samsung continues to enjoy success as the world's biggest smartphone maker, whilst analysts predict huge sales for the firm's upcoming S 4 flagship smartphone, which is set to release later this month.
The device is set to compete against bitter rival Apple and the firm's iPhone range, as the US firm is reportedly set to release its own new device later this year.
Samsung will release its full quarterly results on April 26th, just three days after Apple reports its own first-quarter financials.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has showcased the social-networking giant's latest endeavour: Facebook Home.
Home is the latest software from the firm, which is designed to run on Android devices and works off users' Facebook connections.
Once downloaded, Facebook Home essentially replaces a user's home Android home screen and acts as the hub of their device. The software is part of the firm's move to shift its users' focus from "apps and tasks" to people.
Whilst currently a user will unlock their smartphone to be greeted by apps that offer emails, maps, social networking and other services, Facebook Home works to replace this by greeting the user with updates, photos and other posts from their Facebook feed.
However, much like Facebook itself, advertisements will be incorporated into the service in time.
In addition to the new software, Zuckerberg also unveiled the first "Facebook Phone" which is being launched by HTC.
The HTC First is the first device to be offered with Facebook Home preinstalled and is set to launch the same day as the Home revise launches in the US on April 12th.
Whilst a UK release date has yet to be detailed, EE has announced it will become the UK's exclusive provider of the device this summer.
"The HTC First will be exclusively valuable this summer on EE's superfast 4GEE service, with details on pricing and availability to be announced in due course," reads an EE statement.
The device is set to retail in the US for $99, so UK consumers can expect a price tag of around £100, whilst contract subsidisations could see this reduced.
As social-networking become an increasingly core element of peoples lives, it would seem that users are moving to adopt theatre mentality with their mobile devices too.

 Today Facebook finally took the wraps off Home, a suite of apps and a home screen replacement for Android phones. It's not just a new UI for launching apps however; it replaces the lockscreen with Cover Feed and prioritizes updates from people instead of apps. There is a standard paginated launcher, that is always just a swipe away. But the focus is on the full-screen images that are your new welcome screen. These are status updates from friends that you can easily flip through and double tap to like when someone posts something exciting. Plain text status updates are placed over a user's cover photo, to keep the appearance consistent with photo-centric posts.
Notifications are presented as small cards, which Facebook applies an algorithm to, in order determine the updates that are most important to you. Just like with the standard Android UI you simply swipe notifications off screen to dismiss them. But, if you want to remove all of them in one shot, you long press a single notification and the rest will be drawn to it and you'll be able to dismiss the entire stack.

Facebook wants to put Facebook Home on as many devices as possible, and that includes tablets -- eventually. It just promised that tablets would get support, but only at some point in the months ahead. For now, it's phones only. The social network hasn't said which tablets might be at the forefront, although its plan to steadily widen hardware compatibility suggests that any support will evolve quickly.

Google is reportedly ready to launch its next-generation model of Nexus 7 tablets as the firm targets a summer launch for the new device.
Initially reported by Reuters, the new edition of the Nexus 7 is believed to feature a Qualcomm processor – a move that would seemingly drop Nvidia's Tegra 3 chip, which was used within the device's predecessor.
The updated Nexus 7 could also sport a full HD display – a significant improvement over the seven-inch 800 x 1280 screen used in the previous model.
Upon its launch, the Nexus 7 threw open the tablet market. As consumers increasingly turned to smaller, budget devices such as Google's device, rivals took note and paved the way for an influx of smaller tablets that includes the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and iPad mini.
Google is keen to replicate the success of the budget Nexus 7 by maintaining a low price tag for the device, with the firm reportedly ready to offer the device for as little as £99.
Whilst Google is remaining tight-lipped over the device, a new Nexus 7 could surface as soon as May, when the firm hosts its annual I/O event.

After I released version 0.03 of rpix86 last weekend, things were pretty quiet for a few days on the rpix86 side, so I decided to work on ax86 for a while. I had added a feature into rpix86 where it downloads (after asking a confirmation from the user) the 4DOS.COM command interpreter if it is not found on the disk, and I wanted to have similar feature in ax86. So, I started reading Android documentation about how to add dialogs and how to download files. It turned out that both of those things are reasonably simple to accomplish, and after spending a couple of evenings working on them, I had a working system in place!
When ax86 starts, it attempts to find 4DOS.COM from either the internal data storage, or from the SD card storage area. If neither locations have it, ax86 displays the above dialog. Clicking on Cancel will quit ax86, clicking on Download will start downloading 4DOS.COM. This phase shows a progress bar dialog while the file gets downloaded. After 4DOS.COM has been succesfully downloaded, ax86 starts running the main emulation code and presents the DOS prompt. I am thinking that this dialog could perhaps also have a third button, "Choose directory", in case the user already has a directory reserved for DOS software and wants to use that for ax86.
In the middle of last week I suddenly began to get lot more emails and forum messages about rpix86. This increased acticity was caused by several major technology news sites suddenly releasing an article about rpix86, so I got thousands of hits per day into my web site! I decided to switch back to working on rpix86 because of this increased interest in it. I will try to keep working on ax86 as well, though, so that I can eventually release it publicly as well.
