Is a Google Phablet Next?

, Feb 19th 2012 Discuss [41]

Samsung has done it with the Galaxy Note, LG jumped on board today with the Optimus Vu: will Google and Motorola phollow in their phablet phootsteps? We won’t know how the Vu holds up until Mobile World Congress in a week’s time, but already the phone/tablet hybrid segment is getting interesting. The lingering question is whether phablets are the standout form-factor of 2012 or merely a fad, and it could be Google and imminently-acquired Motorola Mobility that swing the decision one way or another.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 pricing set for disaster

, Feb 13th 2012 Discuss [34]

We're now reviewing some pricing details for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 announced earlier today, and if these number stick to release day, we've got not doubt that Samsung has a rather larger blunder on their hands. The Galaxy Tab 2 was announced as a low-cost update to the original Galaxy Tab, otherwise known as the first real effort on earth to create an Android tablet. This new tablet has a 7-inch 1024 x 600 PLS LCD display, a 1GHz dual-core processor, and a 3-megapixel camera - perfect for a $240 price point - thats about half the cost we're seeing here in an apparent Euro price schedule.

Samsung Android 4.0 ICS update for Galaxy S and Tab now under review

, Dec 27th 2011 Discuss [30]

Earlier this month the software teams at Samsung sent out word that they would not be updating their Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy Tab devices to the newest version of Google's mobile operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich - this week they realized that this was the wrong thing to say to the millions of users out there wanting the opposite news. What we've got this week is news via AJNews that Samsung is reconsidering their position that their own user interface TouchWiz is too difficult to parse to update to the newer system, saying that MAYBE they'll do the work anyway. What does this mean to you, the Galaxy S user? It means you'll perhaps have an update by the end of next year, if you're lucky. Read The Full Story

, Dec 8th 2011 Discuss [7]

Samsung, you win this battle against Apple down under. The Australian court has just officially denied the appeal filed by Apple on their propose sales ban on Samsung's Galaxy Tab. As of now, Samsung is finally cleared to put the Galaxy Tab 10.1 back on the Australian market late next week, just in time for Australian shoppers to check off the tablet on their holiday list during the busy Christmas shopping season (and for Samsung, a naturally higher position on the sales chart, although probably not high enough to stave off Apple).

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 AT&T LTE Hands-on and Unboxing

, Nov 23rd 2011 Discuss [7]

This week we get our first glimpse of what it means to hold the next addition to the Galaxy Tab family in our hands, the slightly larger than mid-sized Galaxy Tab 8.9 for AT&T’s LTE network. What we’ll be doing in the post you’re looking at here is giving it a relatively brief hands-on look as well as a few photos of how it looks in and out of the box. What you’ll find is that this certainly has little in the way of differences from the rest of the Galaxy Tab line (starting with the 10.1, that is), save for its size which may indeed be the perfect one if you’re a Goldilocks sort of person. The Galaxy Tab 8.9 not nearly as obtuse as the original Galaxy Tab, it’s not as large as the 10.1, and it’s got just a slight bit more screen space than the 7.7. Samsung appears to be covering all the bases: is this home plate?

Will carriers kill the Galaxy Tab 7.7?

, Sep 1st 2011 Discuss [43]

All eyes have been on Samsung this morning, with the company’s compact tablet, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, finally breaking cover. It’s hard to argue with a better-than-720p Super AMOLED Plus display, Kindle-besting thinness and 10hr battery (at least on paper), but the big question hanging over the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is whether – like its predecessor – its potential success will be scuppered by the North American carriers.
