This is still far from an official confirmation, but reports are coming in that the upcoming iPhone 4G could be powered by Apple’s A4 processor, which is the same processor used by the iPad. Considering the comfortable way the A4 processor is able to handle the iPad, it wouldn’t be too much of a surprise whether Apple did decide to use its homegrown A4 chip. Said chip is a modified, system-on-chip (SoC) design, based on ARM’s Cortex-A8. Taking into detail that the A4 is able to churn out 720p video playback, there’s a high possibility that the iPhone 4G will be able to churn out HD video. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Check out yet another iPad clone to hit the scene, that day round “thanks” to yet another China manufacturer. Powered by an Android operating system, that 7″ display comes with 800 x 480 resolution and measures a pretty svelte 14mm in terms of thickness, while tipping the scales at 320 grams. It is capable of 720p video playback, but don’t expect it to handle 1080p videos. The Rockchip RK2808 chipset is an obvious giveaway thanks to the Rockchip sticker located at the bottom, letting us know that it has a fully capable chipset when it comes to handling multimedia playback. Too poor we do not have knowledge on pricing or availability as at press moment.
