Next iPhone will feature a 19-pin connector, Reuters confirms

We're hearing new reports about a smaller dock connector debuting on the iPhone 5 - this time courtesy of insider sources close to Reuters. While we've heard before that the next iPhone will feature a smaller dock connector this is the first time we get a sneak peek at the actual size. According to the undisclosed sources the new dock connector will be 19-pin, instead of the previous 30-pin one.

The new smaller dock will open up space at the bottom for the migrating 3.5 mm headphone jack (which makes its way down from the top of the device), whilst keeping the microphone and speaker grills at their previous locations, albeit with a different design.

A new connector will surely infuriate the numerous owners of accessories, tailored for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. And it makes us think why put a brand new connector instead of just switching to the popular microUSB. Apple is sure to have its reasons, but on the surface it looks like a move motivated mostly by the company's aim to sell more accessories.

In other news DigiTimes reports that Taiwan-based Pegatron has begun production of the next iPhone in their Shanghai factory. The iPhone 5 should hit the shelves around October with sources suggesting it will feature a bigger display of 16:9 aspect ratio, an updated design and finally sporting the shiny new iOS 6 (but you knew that already, didn't you).

Jelly Bean update in the works for HTC One XL, One S says Telstra

Australian carrier Telstra let it slip that HTC is working on an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for at least two of the One series smartphones - the One XL and the One S (those are the two Snapdragon S4-based One droids).

Owners of the Tegra 3-based One X shouldn't worry - Telstra Australia carries only the XL version, so they wouldn't list update info on the One X anyway.

The info on the carrier's site is pretty scarce - HTC is preparing the update but even Telstra doesn?t know when it will get it. And when they do get it, they'll put the update through a testing phase before pushing it out to its users.

You can keep an eye on this page for any updates on the release date of Android Jelly Bean for the HTC One XL and One S.

There still isn't an official roadmap from HTC that details which phones will get Android 4.1 and when. As for the unofficial channels, the XDA-Developers community efforts are already showing results.

Sprint-bound Galaxy Reverb leaks, ICS on board

An image, which leaked on Twitter reveals a low-end Samsung Galaxy Reverb (SPH-M950), that's bound for a Sprint release. The image was leaked by the same source that brought us the Galaxy Jasper - a similar device bound for Verizon's LTE network. The post has been deleted from Twitter since, which leads us to believe that it was trustworthy.

The Reverb offers a different capacitive button layout than the Jasper, but otherwise looks identical. Both should feature a 4" WVGA (400 x 800) screen, 768 MB worth of RAM and a 5 MP camera on the back with Ice Cream Sandwich on top. Under the hood is where things are different - the Reverb is reportedly powered by a single-core 1.4GHz processor, while the Jasper has a high-end dual-core Krait processor, clocked at 1.5 GHz.

There's no word on eventual pricing or availability or if the Galaxy Reverb will offer LTE connectivity like the Galaxy Jasper.

Android 4.0 ICS is officially a no go for HTC Desire HD

It looks like the saga surrounding the official Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update of the much beloved HTC Desire HD is finally over, folks. HTC have officially removed the 2010 Android monster from the official list of devices scheduled to get the ICS treatment.

Here goes HTC's official statement on the matter:

After extensive testing, we?ve determined that the current version of HTC Sense with Android provides customers with the best experience on the HTC Desire HD. When we consider new versions of software, we weigh a number of factors, but ultimately the customer experience on the product is the deciding factor. We apologize for any confusion this change may have caused our customers.

This means that, should they want to see their device run a more up-to-date Android version, the owners of the HTC Desire HD will have to install it in an unofficial fashion.
