We're only on the edge of Summer and already the rumors are heating up around hot new smartphones and tablets coming this Fall. Google may be prepping a new flagship phone with Android 4 and an HD display. Apple might be readying the next iPad with a Retina Display of its own. BlackBerry's already previewed the Torch 2, and we caught it on video! And much more with Rumor Roundup, hosted by Noah Kravitz!

Google Nexus 4G: The Next Nexus

Okay, then. First off is a rumor about the next flagship Android phone, what's being called the Nexus 4G. Photos and specs leaked earlier this week about a device that may or may not be coming from HTC, may or may not be headed to AT&T in the US, but is definitely going to run Android 4, aka Ice Cream Sandwich. With a giant 720p HD display, a dual-core processor and dual cameras, and support for 4G networks - perhaps AT&T's forthcoming LTE service - Nexus 4G will continue Google's tradition of releasing "Nexus" phones that show off the latest build of Android. This Ice Cream Sandwich of a smartphone may be hitting stores in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Get the full scoop at: Google Nexus 4G

Apple iPad 3 Updates!

What about an iPad with a higher resolution display than your desktop PC? Sound crazy? It might just happen - maybe even this year. Some code buried in the "Twitter.framework" section of Apple's just-released iOS 5 beta references a display resolution of 1536 x 2048, which essentially doubles the dimensions of iPad / iPad 2's 768 x 1024 display (though that works out to way more than double the pixels). Based on iPad 2's 9.7" physical screen size, 1536 x 2048 would create a "Retina Display," Apple's term for a screen whose pixels are so densely packed that they render an image sharper than the human eye can process. Currently the iPhone 4 is the only device with a Retina Display; could iPad 3 be next? Get the whole scoop at: Apple iPad3

Amazon Android Tablet Coming Soon?

First they planted their flag in the e-reader space with Kindle, and the Kindles that came after the original. Is Amazon now setting its sights on the Android tablet market, too? Yes, if you believe the rumors. And they may just have a secret weapon to separate their tablet from the pack: Free streaming movies. For more: Amazon Android Tablet
