When it comes to Pantech here in the USA, we've not exactly seen the best of the crop for smartphones - all that may be about to change with the Pantech Vega LTE. This device has a 4.5-inch 1280 x 800 pixel resolution display, runs Android 2.3.x Gingerbread, and totes a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor of yet unknown origin. That's set to go up against the big guns, if I do say so myself. The device itself doesn't look that unlike a Galaxy S II, will be available in black or in white, and rumor has it, might be coming to the USA before too long.

Well folks, today I’ve just received an awesome Android smartphone thanks to Samsung. This being the Galaxy S II for AT&T I’m a little excited that these are finally here in the US. I’ve gone ahead and snapped a few pictures for all you hopeful readers planning to pick one up. What lies below is our quick hands-on video as well as a few lovely photos of the AT&T flavored SGSII.

NVIDIA details Variable SMP, the brain of quad core mobile computing
The folks at NVIDIA are coming out with a quad core processor for mobile devices this year, and they’re making no jokes about it happening sooner than later. We’ve just seen a Windows 8 tablet said to be running on the SoC already, and we’re pretty much betting the farm on there being an Android tablet and/or smartphone with the new CPU before the end of 2011. Today NVIDIA takes us on a short tour through vSMP or Variable Symmetric Multiprocessing, the technology which makes Kal-El work as well as it does. With the details of this tech comes a bombshell: Project Kal-El will have a fifth CPU core, called the “Companion” core, which will handle low frequency tasks in the background.

GIT Media Corp Announces two Android tablets, one with a Samsung processor, the other NVIDIA
In a rather interesting move from another company you may well have never heard of in your life, GIT Media Group, Inc., have released information regarding two new Android-toting tablet PCs. There's one called the Surge and one called the Pro. The Pro has a Samsung Dual Core Exynos 4210 processor dual-core processor while the Surge has an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor. You'll recognize both of these processors because they're on some of the most well-known Android devices of the day, for example the NVIDIA Tegra 2 sits on almost every single dual-core tablet computer on the market: Motorola XOOM, Acer Iconia Tab A500 (and 501 and 100), Asus Eee Pad Transformer, and the list goes on. The Exynos processor, on the other hand, sits most famously on the brand new-to-USA Samsung Galaxy S II.

LG Optimus Note Revealed as group’s 4th dual-core Android [Video]
As a manufacturer, LG is no stranger to dual-core Android goodness, having been the first (or certainly one of the first) groups to bring more than one core to a smartphone with the LG G2x (also called the Optimus 2X internationally), then the LG G-Slate (a dual-core tablet), finally the Optimus 3D (aka the Thrill 4G) to the Android world. Now they appear very much to be coming back with a slide-out keyboard on a device called the LG Optimus Note and their 2-1 and possibly 3-1 favorite for dual-core processors, the NVIDIA Tegra 2 running inside.

This week at IFA 2011 in Berlin we’ve been given the opportunity have quite a few hands-on looks at products from a handful of vendors, but it’s the Samsung stand that’s got us most interested as their newest line of products are so very comparable to one another.
