Chris Burns, Nov 28th 2011 Discuss [132]

There's a few claims being written up today on the Galaxy Nexus as it'll be dropping on Verizon, each of them pointing in the direction of a pre-order date starting tomorrow, the 29th of November, 2011. What we're hearing is that there's this fellow by the name of Mike Peak who has been the only person in the world who's been able to contact Verizon and get a solid date out of them as far as when the magical Ice Cream Sandwich device will be available for purchase complete with LTE connectivity. The date is tomorrow, says the supposed Verizon customer assistant on the other end of the phone, and the event is a start for pre-release orders. Read The Full Story

Ice Cream Sandwich reveal party, Hong Kong, Tuesday night, we’ll be there!

Chris Burns, Oct 14th 2011 Discuss [12]

This post is just a big reminder for you that we will indeed be hitting up China for some tasty treats this Tuesday at the Samsung / Google event in Hong Kong. It’s Android Ice Cream Sandwich we’re expecting, and we’re gonna get it! Not only that, we expect a lovely new device by the name of Samsung Galaxy Nexus – we’ve also hear Nexus Prime as a possible name, but if this poll has anything to say about it, Galaxy Nexus is the real deal. In Hong Kong the event is on the 19th of October at 10AM – conveniently that is also the time of day, 12 hours earlier, that it will be taking place New York time — October 18th at 10PM.

Galaxy Note aimed at capturing the female market says Samsung

Chris Burns, Oct 13th 2011 Discuss [24]

This week it's been said by Samsung UK Sales Director Andrew Glass that the upcoming Galaxy Note device "is really good for the female market." With a gigantic 5.37-inch display and a thin stylus that's able to be carried by the device itself when not in use, we've been thinking that this halfway point between a tablet and a smartphone would be a good shot aimed at basically any set of humans, Glass this week detailed a few ways in which Samsung would be tending to the female market specifically. Does this 1280 x 800 pixel Super AMOLED HD display having 1.4GHz dual-core wielding Note device look like the lady product for you? Read The Full Story

Samsung Google Android event set for October 19 in Hong Kong [Official]

Chris Burns, Oct 13th 2011 Discuss [4]

Invites have been sent out to those considered worthy of attending what may well be the biggest event in the shared history of Samsung and Google, one taking place LIVE from Hong Kong, China. This event will almost certainly be showing off the newest Android operating system Ice Cream Sandwich working on a Samsung device either called the Nexus Prime or the Galaxy Nexus. One way or another, the 19th of October, Hong Kong (and the 18th of October, USA, for those that understand time zones,) will be the date of the big Samsung Unpacked event that was cancelled last week. Can you even contain your excitement at a time like this?!

Motorola XOOM 2 and Spyder leaked photos appear

Chris Burns, Oct 11th 2011 Discuss [2]

When a leaked set of photos of a device, or in this case two devices: the Motorola Spyder (aka DROID RAZR) and XOOM 2, are released with carrier logos splayed across them, it generally means that release time is near. We've learned this year that this isn't always true, but on the whole we can judge a leak by its cover. Here what we're seeing is a brand new handset and a second-generation tablet on the way straight out of the generally-ok photo takers hands. Motorola, will you bring the heat inside 2011?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus photos caught on Google+

Chris Davies, Oct 11th 2011 Discuss [1]

Photos apparently taken on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus have been spotted on Google+, with two Google engineers sharing images that, according to the EXIF data, were shot by the currently unannounced handset. Stills taken by Roman Kirillov and Chris Yerga list “Galaxy Nexus” under camera, though Google+ default resizing of uploaded shots to 3-megapixels mean we can’t see the full quality the new Googlephone is capable of.
