Does your smartphone bill wave a Magenta flag? If so, then you should circle April 22nd on your calendar because rumor has it that’s the hallowed day HTC’s One S could touch down. Whispers of that purported launch date recently surfaced over at TmoNews, pegging the carrier’s exclusive dual-core S4, ICS handset for a Spring bow, although that tentative window could easily slip. We do know for sure that the OEM’s committed to a Q2 release, so fret not eager Sense-beavers, you’ll have that plasma-heated, micro arc oxidized unibody in your sweaty palms in no time.

Remember this guy, the titular sequel to Samsung’s 10-inch tab? Well, it was just was given a passing grade by the FCC, meaning it’s at least one step closer to hitting the shelves. The GT P5100 is the same model of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 we saw back at MWC, which supports HSPA+ on bands II and V — as opposed to the WiFi only model that was given a stamp of approval last week. The 1900 and 850MHz compatibility means it’ll work on AT&T here in the US, though, we’ve heard no word about an American release. Uncle Sam’s testing didn’t end with the cellular radio, the regulators also took a stab at the 802.11n and Bluetooth 3.0 antennae. If you’re a fan of radiation charts you’ll find all you’ve ever wanted at the source link.
