The tablet concept has already existed for a while, but the tablet only really broke through with the arrival of Apple’s flagship, the iPad. The iPad appeals to a large group of users, the majority of which are consumers. Although Apple has gotten a head start because there was no competition, the industry has since woken up. Samsung is one of those manufacturers that sees opportunity and has jumped into Apple’s wake. Additionally, Samsung is aiming at business users and consumers. During the IFA 2010, the Samsung Galaxy Tab was shown and a few months later, the Tab has seen a phased introduction and is now available in different countries.. Read the rest of this entry »

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is currently known as one of the best Android tablet available in the market at the moment. We just showed you an ad in which Samsung is telling us how slim is the tablet really is and Samsung also told us that it’s time to tab. Verizon recently announced that they will be launching it soon and now it will be hitting another major US carrier. Sprint has officially announced the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but not the 4G/3G version. Sprint will be launching the Wi-Fi version of it and they are officially launching it on June 24 and Sprint is launching the 16GB version for $499.99. It’s Samsung first ever dual-core tablet rocking on 1GHz Tegra 2 processor, Android 3.1 and other amazing features.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is said to be the first legitimate competitor to the iPad, but you wouldn’t know it based on the absolutely scathing review that Gizmodo writes of the device. Calling the Tab a “wreck” and “mess” that isn’t fit for humans, they basically say that the device isn’t anything for the iPad to worry about (that is me putting it nicely… Read the rest of this entry »

If only there were more tablets in the world, you know? Samsung has heard the call, and truth be told they might have a nice crack at creating something desirable. The 7-inch Galaxy Tab (previously referred to as the S-Pad), runs Android with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI on top (similar to the Galaxy S sitting next to it). According to the Tweets by Samsung Blog South Africa — an odd place indeed to make this sort of unveiling — it has a “high resolution” screen, and it’s supposed to be AMOLED if an earlier leak on the “S-Pad” is to be believed. That S-Pad info also mentioned a Samsung Apps store, which would make sense because as far as we know Google isn’t letting “official” Android Market-equipped, Google-blessed tablets out of the gate just yet.

After the exclusive New York City release of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 a few days ago, Samsung Canada has officially announced that both the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will soon be released in Canada as well. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a slow news day, so lets dabble our feet in the murky rumor waters for a while and take a look at what we’re told is the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9200.  The tipped successor to the Galaxy S, and supposedly due in early 2011, according to the talk circulating Russian forum itrans the Galaxy S2 is said to have a whopping 4.3-inch 1,280 x 720 Super AMOLED display with around 340 pixels per inch, certainly intruding into Apple’s Retina Display realm.

Meanwhile there’s also supposedly a 2GHz CPU paired with 1GB of RAM and a 4GB ROM, together with 32GB of flash storage and a microSD card slot.  The camera is said to be 8-megapixels capable of not just 720p but 1080p Full HD video recording, and the OS to be Android “Gingerbread” which we’ve heard is expected to drop in Q4 this year.  Connectivity includes WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, while there’s also A-GPS, an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity and ambient light sensors.

Now, we’re obviously in skeptic-mode at what’s undoubtedly a bulging spec list.  The display and the processor are probably the most unbelievable aspects, though Samsung are tipped to be starting mass production at a new, 5th-gen AMOLED plant in Q1 2011.  We’re guessing that the 2GHz processor mentioned would be a new version of Samsung’s own Hummingbird chip, though we’re yet to hear of one running at that speed.  All in all, plenty of reason to doubt the rumors, but we can’t help but wish they’d come true.

The accessories include  samsung cell phone covers , phone antennas, batteries, cases, faceplates, the holsters, holders, kits of hands and some others. The antennas need to boost your signal and an additional battery may be a good precaution. A car charger could be a good alternative to an extra battery. Read the rest of this entry »
