LG is poised to unveil its LG Optimus G successor, popularly known as the Optimus G2, at a special event on August 7, but a new report says that's not all the company plans to reveal.

The South Korean phone maker will also show off two other devices, according to TechTastic - an Optimus L9 2 (model number LG-D600) and something for now called the LG-D500.

The site claims a source tipped it off to the impending declaration of those two unannounced devices, while it's managed to pick up for both.

It looks like the L9 2 is a mid-range successor to the Optimus L9, while the LG D500 is even lower on the spectrum.

Neither of the unannounced LG handsets is a flagship like the Optimus G2, TechTastic claims.

The LG Optimus L9 2 is a mid-range device with a 4.7-inch 720p display, 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 8-megapixel camera, NFC and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

The D500 on the other hand is a low-end device with a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, Adreno 302 GPU, 540 x 960 display, NFC, a 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 4.1.2.

Neither comes close to the next-gen Optimus G's specs, in particular the next-gen Snapdragon 800 SoC that's been confirmed for the new handset.

In addition to that, the G2 is rumored to feature a 5-inch 1080p display, Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB of memory, a 13-megapixel camera and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. TechTastic also threw an interesting idea into the mix: Apparently there are buttons on the back of this phone. How practical (and how legitimate) that is, we won't know for a few months time.

• We think the LG Optimus G2 will compete directly with the Galaxy S4, but with an announcement on Aug. 7, it could also head off news of Samsung's Galaxy Note 3.

Reuters. Developer Joseph Brown contends that Verizon, AT&T and Sprint are throttling down data speeds on the iPhone and iPad. Mylan Cellular For Discount Phones

A developer says he found specialized codes that cap data bandwidth on iPhones and iPads using Verizon, AT&T and Sprint.

UNCONFIRMED: While some on Twitter applaud the developer, geek site AnandTech explains why it's not true.

If you’ve grumbled that your pricey iPhone or iPad have slower than expected data speeds, a developer explains why: He found specialized codes that cap data bandwidth on iPhones and iPads operating on Verizon, AT&T and Sprint — but not on T-Mobile. It’s sparking buzz at such sites asMylan Cellular, MacDailyNews, AppleInsider and CultofMac. As a Benzinga headline succinctly put it: "Code Found on iPhone that Cuts Speed in Half."

Developer Joseph Brown of iTweakiOS, a site that provides hacked carrier updates for iOS users, contends that he found AT&T effectively limits the iPhone 5 to a slower speed (14.4 Mbps) even though the network can handle faster speeds (21.1Mbps) and the phone itself can be even speedier (42.2Mbps), according to MacRumors. Among other examples, Verizon and Sprint throttle down 3G.

In 2010, AT&T dropped its unlimited data plan for new smartphone customers, causing a social media firestorm. AT&T made a quick fix, allowing existing customers to keep their unlimited plan as long as they didn't make any significant changes. However, in 2011, the company adopted another new policy in which the top 5 percent of heavy data users saw their speeds slowed, according to a CNet report. And, according to another CNet report in 2012, AT&T throttled service for customers once they reached a certain amount of data usage per month. To cap it all off, AT&T rolled out its new data plan today, which, as you might have guessed, doesn't include an unlimited data option, PRNewswire reported.

MSN News contacted Apple for comment, but a spokesperson declined.

Investors calm over possible iPhone, iPad ban

"You are purposely, 24/7, being throttled, even if you haven't used more data than you're authorized to use or that you've purchased with your hard earned money," Brown said, according to iClarified. He told iClarified that he’s sure the speeds are slowed for everyone, not just heavy users who exceed their data limits. "The iPhone 5 I tested the other day was brand new. No LTE data used, so it wasn't being throttled."

On Twitter, Brown said: "To be clear, I’m not saying the throttling is a typical throttle where you see 2G speeds. It's a soft throttle to slow users down a bit."

Brown took snapshots of the code and wrote a blog post that apparently since has been taken down.

Many sites that initially reported on Brown's allegations didn’t contest them. An exception was an updated post at 9to5mac.com, which says, in part: "If you look at one of the lines of Apple’s code that he uses to allege throttling, it doesn’t even have anything to do with throttling internet speed."

But geek site AnandTech since then laid out a case for why it thinks Brown is wrong.

"The reality is that this is simply not the case," AnandTech's story reads, in part. "Apple doesn't limit cellular data throughput on its devices — there's both no incentive for them to do so, and any traffic management is better off done in the packet core of the respective network operator rather than on devices…" So, "there’s no arbitrary capping" of speeds "that would prevent the device from attaching and taking full advantage of whatever the network wants to handshake with. If you're going to read anything, just take that away with you, as the full explanation gets technical fast."

Its refutation prompted a new flurry of buzz, with a new round of stories at such sites as iClarified and MacRumors. "Brown interpreted the word 'throttle' in the code to mean downgrading network connection speeds," states Gigoam.com, but the word here refers to something else — " 'retry interval throttle,' which is the mechanism that prevents a phone from continuously searching for an LTE signal when there are none present." Concludes TmoNews: "These allegations have been debunked, folks."

Brown's reaction

Brown via Twitter said the AnandTech story “basically calls me a liar and a fraud,” prompting some fans on Twitter to applaud him for his “amazing” findings, while other Tweeps gave him grief.

The drama prompted Brown to make a Twitter announcement (since removed) that "for now, I quit. There has been too much negativity aimed at me, things have been taken totally out of context … and I would really like to avoid having the carriers and Apple upset with me." He said his revelations were meant to point out problems "so the carriers and Apple could address it with each other and fix it, if it needed to be fixed."
