HTC T6 specs and launch confirmed? 5.9-inch display, Snapdragon 800, front facing speakers, and Key Lime Pie [RUMOR]

So much Android hardware news these past few days, I almost feel bad for those other guys. In any case, we've been hearing rumors for quite sometime that HTC was working on a Samsung Galaxy Note challenger, a mysterious “phablet” (I hate that word as much as you) dubbed internally as the HTC T6. This device would finally give big booty handset lovers and HTC fans the device they've always dreamed about. Today, our friend at @evleaks took to the Unlockr to post his latest leak… and boy, it's a doozy.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini now official

We've been hearing a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini over the past several weeks, but it's time to give the rumor mill a rest — the device has been made official by Samsung as of this morning. The 4.3 inch device will come with qHD resolution, a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (there's a microSD card slot to expand that), an 8 megapixel camera on the back and a 1.9 megapixel camera on the front. For software, we're looking at Android 4.2.2 with TouchWiz (which we assume is going to take up a sizable chunk of that 8GB of internal storage).

Burger King worker halts hamburglars by stealing their getaway car

Even though he admitted to it, we're sure police won't be charging a California man with grand theft auto since his actions helped foil a robbery that was in progress. According to ABC News, an unnamed employee of a Burger King in Stockton, CA snuck out the back when two men entered the store with guns and demanded money. Rather than running away, the quick-thinking employee stole the would-be getaway car and hid it around the block. Without a car, the attempted robbers left the store – although it isn't clear if they got any money – but didn't get far.

Get the 32GB Nexus 10 refurbished from Woot.com for $380 [DEAL]

If you're one to take chances on refurbished items (most of the time they're just returned products that people decide they don't want) you'll want to take a look at the deal Woot has cooked up. They are offering the 32GB version of the Nexus 10 for just $380. Considering that version costs $500 in the Google Play Store it might be worth the chance. The Nexus 10 is a 10-inch Android tablet with ridiculous resolution — to the tune of 2,560 pixels wide by 1,600 pixels tall. That's enough to deliver 300 DPI, which means this is one of the sharpest tablets you're going to find.

Japanese Technology from the Future Friday!

:: JTFF – May 3, 2013 ::. · New Pacific Rim Trailer for Japanese Audiences. The JTFF doesn't often jump into entertainment stories, but since this one's 1. about giant robots fighting alien sea monsters (“kaiju,” Japanese for “monster”), and 2. directed by Guillermo del Toro, it's not only wildly relevant (perhaps you've noticed our recent renaissance in robotics coverage?), but also promises to maybe, just maybe be a decent blockbuster-scale robot movie.

Issentiel iPad Leather Case review

There are certain things in life that demand a price premium, such as a 1985 Dom Perignon or Monte Cristo #4, but an Ipad case?  Issentiel of Paris provides a line of smartphone and tablet cases crafted in leather.  The iPad 2 case I received to review lists for $99, which I think qualifies as a premium product.  The question is:  does it merit the price.

Idle paws are the devil's workshop

A bored kitty is a destructive kitty.  With the Solar Powered Cat Tantalizer from Hammacher Schlemmer, your cat will be too entertained to have time to shred the toilet paper and up-root and chew your potted plants.  Stick the toy in a window or glass door with the industrial-strength suction cups, and the solar panel on the back will activate the toy when it receives direct sunlight.  The unpredictable bobbing and swaying of the feathers and dangling plastic ball will keep Muffin's attention so she'll have plenty of opportunity to exercise and practice her hunting skills without killing anything.
