The all-in-one form factor presents an interesting use case: it required much of the same external setup as a desktop, but uses laptop parts in most cases and has the same resistance to expansion. The most obviously attractive quality of the all-in-one is that it allows for comfortable desktop-style use while being “easy” – just plug in a mouse and keyboard and you’re good to go. With the iMac occupying the top end and various HP and Lenovo consumer models grabbing space just below, there’s room for a low-cost option: Lenovo’s $599 C325.

AT&T’s HTC One X lost the Tegra 3 due to LTE incompatibility
Android enthusiasts have been drooling over the HTC One X for months, ever since it was leaked as the HTC Edge. A lot of that had to do with the inclusion of Nvidia's quad-core Tegra 3 platform; at the time, it was the only smartphone we knew of that would get the screaming silicon. So it's no surprise that AT&T customers were a little miffed to hear that the American version is going with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU instead. But before you start a signature campaign to bring the "real" one X to AT&T, you might want to read this: it was purely a technical limitation.

HTC Mobile World Congress wrap-up
LG and Samsung have been dropping pre-Mobile World Congress hints all of last week, but it would be hard to argue against the fact that HTC has owned the opening night of Mobile World Congress. Their three-pronged HTC One line isn’t just a new series of phones, it’s a dividing line for the the company, signifying the beginning of a more centralized strategy and (hopefully) a clean break from their rather disappointing second half of 2011. They’re hitting the high, middle and low end of the smartphone market with three extremely targeted models, all sharing the same design DNA. Naturally, SlashGear was there to cover it all.
HTC One S Official
It's finally here: HTC has just unveiled its latest workhorse phone, the One S. This model slides in just below the One X, using a smaller 4.3-inch screen with a 960x540 resolution, the same as most of HTC's phones for the last year. Instead of the screaming Tegra 3 on the X, the HTC One S gets a standard Qualcomm 1.5ghz dual-core processor. On the software side, it gets the same treatment: Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC's updated Sense UI 4 as a topping. The phone is getting its worldwide unveiling at Mobile World Congress.

Xbox 360 gets 10th Anniversary Edition in Europe with extra games and accessories
Ah, the Xbox 360. Has it really been ten years? Well, no, it hasn't, but come March 14th it'll be the 10th anniversary of the original Xbox's debut in Europe. To help celebrate that (and perhaps distract you from the fact that the 360 could really use a refresh) Microsoft is readying a new bundle for Europe, revealed by Amazon France and spotted by The Examiner. The collection includes a load of goodies including an extra controller, both physical and digital games, and a little free Xbox Live time for your trouble.

Huawei Ascend D Quad and D Quad XL get official with custom quad-core processor
Chinese manufacturer Huawei intends to stake its high-end claim at Mobile World Congress 2012, and they're off to a good start. The previously indicated Diamond line of devices will begin with the Ascend D Quad, featuring Huawei's very own ARM-based quad-core processor, the K3V2. We had expected them to rely on Nvidia's Tegra 3 architecture, but it looks like they're keeping it in the family. The company claims that this bit of 1.5ghz silicon helps it perform 49% faster than conventional devices (making it the "world's fastest smartphone") while improving battery life. Other major specifications include a 4.5-inch 720p touchscreen and Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with Ice Cream Sandwich
Samsung's hitting fast and hard with a gamut of press releases just hours before Mobile World Congress. The latest is the update to their flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which has been somewhat lazily christened the Galaxy Tab 2, 10.1 inch version. From a hardware perspective it looks like an updated version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1N, the German variant introduced to curb Apple's enthusiasm for patent litigation. On the inside, it gets Ice Cream Sandwich with Samsung's TouchWiz UI skin.

Samsung Galaxy Beam combines Android smartphone and Pico projector
It’s been a while since we saw Samsung try the whole projector-phone combination, but now that it’s on top of the smartphone world it looks like they’ve got the resources and guts to try again.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 spotted in pre-MWC ads
Well well well: this would appear to be some pretty solid evidence that Samsung's latest stylus kick is getting even more plus-sized come Monday. Swedish blogger Anders Frick spotted a couple of large-scale advertisements in and around the Fira de Barcelona, where the first pre-show events for Mobile World Congress are set to begin in just a few hours. While he was clearly doing a little surreptitious snooping, what he caught with his camera is pretty clearly the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, a full-sized tablet version of the original Galaxy Note. The device itself should get a proper unveiling sometime on Monday.

Temple Run Android gets yet another delay
Bad news, would be archaeologists-slash-aerobics enthusiasts: those of you with Android phones and tablets will be waiting a while longer to play iOS smash hit Temple Run. While previously indicating that the game would be available sometime this month, developer Imangi posted on their Facebook page that they're still in the final stages of development. The game is in beta at the moment, but it'll be another week - possibly more - before it hits the Android Market. Bummer.

HP profit falls 44% in first fiscal quarter
In case the rocky road that was HP's 2011 wasn't an indication, they aren't doing so hot lately. Today the company reported the results for its first fiscal quarter (November through January) saw revenue drop an eye-popping 44% over the same time period last year. That's mostly due to falling shipments in the PC industry: corporate customers ordered 7% less, while consumers ordered a whopping 25% less than they had the previous year. Hewlett Packard's printer business, normally a steady source of reliable income, fell 7% in the first quarter.
