HTC requires more than 512MB of RAM for Jelly Bean updates, One V and Desire C to stay on ICS

HTC's reassured us in a freshly updated FAQ that the One X and One S will continue seeing Jelly Bean updates as soon as carrier testing is finished, and it's also given us some insight into how it decides which smartphones will get the Android 4.1 treatment. The word is mum on exactly which other phones will be graced with the flavor of Android in question and Sense 4+, but the firm is reviewing its 2012 handsets to determine which are eligible. Two phones that didn't make the cut are the One V and Desire C, since HTC generally requires devices to pack more than 512MB of RAM in order to receive Jelly Bean. As for smartphones released in 2011, they'll also be considered once this year's hardware is evaluated. Chou and Co. also noted that they plan to post "generic development ROMs" of Jelly Bean for the One X and One S to its developer website as soon as they're fully baked. For the full lowdown, hit the source link below.

Android 4.2 reaches some Galaxy Nexus phones early, grab the GSM version here

As Google Play groans under the clicks of early shoppers, Google's apparently got its software sorted too. A new Android 4.2 file for the Galaxy Nexus over at XDA-Developers matches reports we've had from users who have already been gifted the latest version of Jelly Bean over-the-air. Now, this is the 'takju' version, meaning it's meant for GSM devices ordered directly from Google, although the phone meddlers at XDA-Developers already have all the details needed to make the switch to this specific iteration. Sure you've got the right GSM Galaxy Nexus? Then, once you've read all the instructions and warnings from those aforementioned developers, you can pick up the download at the source below.

As a lot of you know that Apple has finally introduced the iPad Mini during their Special Event which was held on the 23rd October 2012. The iPad Mini wasn't the only thing that excites the fans. Here are a, mostly pictures, update of the whole event...

The New iBooks App looks the same but there are a few different features included. one of the most obvious one will be instead of flipping the pages, now you just need to scroll it downwards and the pages will just continue from below.

New features for the Developers for iBooks

And the 4th Generation iPad!

The new chip offers twice the speed of the chip in 3rd Gen iPad and bare in mind, it has only been 6 months since the 3rd iPad was introduced.

And the star of the event, the new iPad Mini!

Comes in black and white just like the previous one but instead of having the silver plate at the back of the iPad, they change the material to the one that they are using for iPhone 5. So scratches will most definitely be there.
