The timing would make sense, as in addition to stealing Microsoft's Windows 8 thunder, Apple could overshadow the launch of Windows Phone 8 and the rumoured LG Nexus smart phone by putting the iPad mini on sale the following week.

Apple striking a deal to use Swiss railway operator SBB’s trademark station clock design on iPads and iPhones. A US appeals court overturning a preliminary injunction on the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone, dealing a setback to Apple in its battle against Google's increasingly popular mobile software Android. Big news for Microsoft with Windows 8 rolling out with a marketing campaign estimated at $1.5 to $1.8 billion, Microsoft setting up Xbox Music, a digital music service to vie with Apple Inc's iTunes and Amazon.com’s Cloud Player, will be available for its Xbox game consoles and finally, the Microsoft 10.6 inch Surface Tablet picture going on sale with prices starting at $499 for the 32GB model and $699 for the 64GB model.

Asus refreshing its three-in-one smartphone, tablet and notebook concept and unveiling the all-new Padfone 2. German prosecutors dropping a criminal probe into whether Google illegally gathered wireless-network data for its Street View mapping service. But EU data regulators have told Google that it has to make changes to its new privacy policy due to "incomplete information and uncontrolled combination of data across services". Meanwhile, the United States Federal Trade Commission has been investigating Google as part of an ongoing antitrust probe, and it appears the conclusion is that a lawsuit may in fact be warranted. Yahoo hiring a senior Google employee to join her management team. Henrique de Castro, currently Google's president of Global Media, Mobile and Platforms, will join Yahoo! in January as chief operating officer. Japanese mobile operator Softbank Corp buying about 70 per cent of Sprint Nextel Corp for $20.1 billion, giving Softbank the American toehold it has long desired and Sprint the capital to expand its network and potentially buy peers US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta warning that the United States is facing the possibility of a “cyber-Pearl Harbor” and is increasingly vulnerable to foreign computer hackers who could dismantle the nation’s power grid, transportation system, financial networks and government.
