Ever wondered how many gadgets the Woz carries around with him? Well, brace yourselves..
This all adds up to $25,000 and includes, two iPads, four iPhones, two Galaxy Nexus's, a kindle, two iPod nanos, Macbook Pro and more. I just hope for Woz's sake that his bag doesn't get stolen by anyone, Luckily, He does have a list of everything in it, probably preparation in case such thing happens. I know I wouldn't carry around this much gadget. Especially in my town (chuckles).

Sony LT30 leaks, bluetooth certified...

An not yet announced Sony device has made it's way onto a official Bluetooth certification page. The device sporting the codename "LT30" brings along with it some very impressive specs including a 720p display and 13MP camera.

The exact specs indicate the device will pack a 4.6-inch display with 720p resolution (720x1280), the device's processor hasn't been leaked. The rear-facing camera on the device is 13-megapixels with compatibility to record in 1080p, this camera is accompanied by a 720p capable front-facing camera.

So far the device sounds great, and what ever CPU is featured in this phone has it's work cut out. If I were to take a guess as to what CPU may be featured, I'd say a dual-core processor, unless they surprise us with a quad-core which is more than welcome.

The smartphone packs a WVGA (480x800) 4.3-inch IPS display, powered by a single-core MediaTek MT6575 processor clocked at 1GHz with 1GB of RAM. The device has one camera which is a 5-megapixel rear-facing one. Other than that they phone runs Android 4.0 and has a huge 2,400mAh battery.

Powerful HTC smartphone on the horizon...

A new HTC smartphone is in the works, this has been revealed by a benchmark done on the device via. GLBenchmark. The device is Verizon bound with 4G LTE radios on board and is looking to be a successor to Verizon's HTC Rezound based on the model number the device is showing.

One thing about this device is that it is packing a 1080p (1080x1794) screen, that's right a full HD display on a smartphone, another interesting spec is the device's quad-core Snapdragon processor paired with an Adreno 320 GPU clocked at 1.5GHz. This device is going to take the market by storm but all that grunt under the hood will mainly be used to control that dense screen.

iPhone 5 model leaks...

There has been a lot of speculation, leaks and rumours surrounding the 5th iteration of Apple's iPhone. Everything has been said, 3D screen, new docking connector and even a totally new design have been said by some people. All this time Apple has been silent, probably laughing at us and the rumours were coming up with.

Well, today, it looks like a model/prototype of the iPhone 5 has been leaked. The prototype includes the bigger screen now a reasonable 4-inch affair. It also comes with the new dock connector which has been said to lock un-certified Apple docks out of it. (great!). So, what about specs, well Quad-core processor is an absolute possibility, the retina screen will be in tact, I'd say that we may see a 12-megapixel camera on the back with a 2-megapixel on the front. Nevertheless, the iPhone still receives the award for most boring design ever.
