An unnamed Loewe spokesperson told German news site Heise that the rumors are unfounded, despite ongoing financial concerns with the company's high-end sets struggling to find buyers in the tough economic climate.

Apple iTV said to feature Siri: resembles Cinema Display
Is the Apple television coming this year? Is it even coming at all? We can’t answer those questions, but more details seem to be leaking out about the mythical television set of lore. Cult of Mac reports that a source has seen the fully working TV in the flesh, and has spilled the beans about what to expect. Most of what is outlined matches up with previous rumors, such as Siri integration, but there’s one or two odd details.

Cross-branding is the new Gadget Black
The power of cross-branding is taking the technology and gadget world by storm, in every sector and in every product from items as small as a low-powered smartphone all the way up to six-figure automobiles. You’ll notice it in some of our most popular reviews, you’ll see it in the cars we’ve had our hands on in the past few months, and you’ll see it on billboards for power objects of desire all across your city. One brand has something that another brand knows will, with their help, make them both look powerful – and it’s taking our consumer culture by storm.
Apple + Valve = OS X Gaming Push
This weekend we’re hearing basically every single tech, gaming, and Apple-heavy site flip out over the idea that Tim Cook’s visit to Valve means an Apple gaming console is in the mix – I disagree. Several simple factors mean that Apple‘s next-generation television push isn’t going to be a full-fledged television, and several simple factors count Valve out of the physical gaming system game as well. Instead, I contend that Apple will be releasing their next-generation MacBook Pro line with emphasis on graphics and computing power, with Valve’s library of OS X-compatible games there to back up their claims.
Sharp’s new 32-inch screens possibly for Apple iTV
Sharp announced today that it began production of 32-inch HI-DPI LCD panels last month at its Kameyama Plant No. 2, which has long been manufacturing advanced LCDs for TVs. These pixel-dense high-performance displays are the world's first to incorporate IGZO oxide semiconductors and could be used for Apple's much rumored iTV, if perhaps over-enthusiastic analysts are to be believed.

HTC One S Review
The HTC One S may slot into the midrange in the company’s 2012 line-up, but HTC knows that it needs more than just average if it wants to reclaim its position in the smartphone segment. To do that, the One S delivers a slimline metal casing and ticks the big consumer draw elements of camera, screen and speed, with 8-megapixels, a crisp AMOLED display and 1.5GHz dual-core chipset brought out to play. Question is, does the One S deliver enough to distract from the heavyweight of the mainstream models, Apple’s iPhone 4? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Apple Television talk reignites with Sharp patent overlap
Long-standing rumors of a standalone Apple TV set continue to percolate, with suggestions that Foxconn parent Hon Hai’s display deal with Sharp, along with fresh Apple panel patents, lend weight to the HDTV whispers. The Cupertino company is apparently working on an advancement of Fringe Field Switching (FSS) systems suitable for HDTV-scale panels, with Patently Apple flagging up a recently granted patent for the TFT LCD display technology. FSS is currently used in Apple’s smaller devices, and relies on IPS display technology of which Sharp is a notable patent holder.
Who’s buying the Apple TV?
Apple has already fessed up to the new iPad selling well, but sales stats for the refreshed Apple TV have been less forthcoming. The company added 1080p support to the set-top box, together with refreshing the interface, while a new Apple A5X chipset now allows for Full HD AirPlay streaming from the new iPad. Yet there's still no indication whether Apple's "one more thing" was a success or otherwise.

iPad Retina Display squashes rivals (but it’s not perfect)
The new iPad's Retina Display comfortably out-performs the displays on the current crop of tablets and smartphones, according to new research, though there remains room for improvement in battery life, brightness and more. The third-gen iPad's 2048 x 1536 panel bests rivals for sharpness, color saturation and accuracy, picture quality, and gray scale, according to DisplayMate's testing, and in fact outperforms the screens on most HDTVs, notebooks and monitors. However, it's not all good news.

iPad 3rd Gen Hands-on vs Android: Part 1
Now that the first wave of the 3rd Generation iPad (which we’ve already reviewed in full) has been released to the public, everyone seems to want to know: is it better than Android? The short answer is the same I’ll always give: depends on what you need it to do. The long answer is of course a bit more complicated than that – and it’s not just all about benchmarks, mind you: it’s about the experience – and the experience with both Android and iPad is currently fantastic.
The new iPad Review Round-Up
The results are in, and now that we’re less than 24 hours away from the launch of the 2012 edition of the iPad, the tech world has its hands-on say if and how Apple’s newest slate trumps the competition. We’ve got our own review up as well as the mixed opinions from across the web – in general the consensus has been that if you’re in the market for an iPad, it is as it’s always been: the older model may be cheaper, but the newest model is worth the extra cash. That and the fact that Apple is preparing their content for the much more high definition world of the new iPad’s Retina quality display should have you reeling all night long.
