Apple's next generation iPhone, dubbed iPhone 5, is set for launch in September according to the latest rumors and will boast of beefy specs - but does it have enough firepower to stave off the challenge from the top ten 'super' smartphones that run on Google Android?

With Apple's iPhone 5 approaching fast, what is Samsung coming up with?

There are now more than 100,000 applications made for the iPad. To be more specific, there are 100,159 iPad apps as of Thursday afternoon.

Apple iPhone 2, once called the king of tablets, is now facing stiff challenges from its rival in what is being billed as a tablet war.

HP first officially launched its tablet, the TouchPad, in February and now, after four-months, the 9.7-inch tablet which runs on webOS juice will be available from July 1.

The myTouch 4G Slide proclaims it is now the top smartphone camera on the market, rising above the popular iPhone 4. T-Mobile's myTouch 4G Slide carries enough hardware power and quality performance to prove its worthiness among a sea of competitors.

Samsung has asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to ban imports of Apple's products including iPhones, iPads and iPods.

PC giant Hewlett-Packard (HP) will be launching its Touchpad tablet device in United States on July 1.

The two smartphones making waves apart from iPhone 5 are Samsung Galaxy S2 and Motorola Droid Bionic.

Apple iPhone has been ruling the smartphone jungle for quite some time and the launch of the next generation iPhone (dubbed iPhone 5) is expected to consolidate its position but could a slew of new Android smartphones set for launch later this year upset its dominance?

As the rumors swirl surrounding the iPhone 5's release date, it is worth asking whether one should buy an Android superphone or wait for the elusive iPhone 5. After all, most of the iPhone 5's rumored features are already available in a spate of Android devices.

The exploding popularity of Android has been a force to reckon. Google reported that its daily activations have reached 500,000. Google's vice president of mobile tweeted that this rate is increasing 4.4% each week. The increased number of smartphones that are running the Android OS have placed Google at the top of the Smartphone market over its reigning competitor the Apple iPhone.

Apple is poised to launch two new iPhones, a cheaper iPhone 4S and the all new iPhone 5 in rather quick succession, if industry buzz is to be believed. The theory suggests that Apple as a company is at an inflection point with regard to its smartphone strategy and is willing to take daring new steps in the backdrop of a surging challenge from Android OS-based devices.

Android is blooming in Apple's productless summer. Various studies point to the inevitable prospect of Google Android OS-based marching ahead of Apple's iPhone and iPad. Andy Rubin, Google's vice-president of engineering, said over 500,000 Android devices are activated every day, adding that the rate of activation of Android devices is growing 4.4 percent every week.

As Apple continues to delay the launch of its illusive iPhone 5 the competition is just getting thicker as T-Mobile announced the launch of its latest 4G phone, the myTouch 4G Slide.
