Posted on Jan 30, 2012 by MG1

Update: The Samsung GALAXY Tab 11.6 tested by Android and Me had a dual-core 2GHz processor, not a quad-core processor as we originally reported. We thank our loyal readers for bringing this to our attention
Earlier today we passed along the word that Samsung was weighing its options when it comes to announcing the Samsung Galaxy S III at the MWC in Barcelona next month. While no one knows if the smartphone will be presented at the show, how about Samsung's new high-end tablet?

Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab not getting ICS

Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab not getting ICS

Posted on Dec 27, 2011 by MG1

Just recently, Samsung updated us on its Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) update schedule and which devices are getting it and to our great disappointment the Samsung Galaxy S and the 7-inch original Galaxy Tab are not in there. The latest models of the company are, of course, getting the update: the Samsung Galaxy S II, S II LTE, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. But that’s little consolation for those owning Samsung’s 2010 flagship or Samsung’s first tablet.
Interestingly, the Nexus S, which is very similar to the Galaxy S, is getting ICS. Why is it so then that the Galaxy S is not? Samsung explains that it’s because of a combination of factors: usi...

UK: Samsung Galaxy Tab Android 2.3 updates rolling out as we speak

Posted on Jul 28, 2011 by MG1

As expected, Samsung has started rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread updates for the Galaxy Tab in the UK. We’re not sure whether everyone can get it at the moment, but as far as we know, it requires Samsung’s Kies software for the update process to take place. That said, it’s safe to bet over-the-air updates will follow shortly.
You’re most likely already familiar with all the software changes included in Gingerbread; they are worth repeating, nonetheless. Among the things you should expect are improved power management capabilities, better Copy/Paste, support for SIP-based VoIP calls, downloads management and so on.
As usual, we advise you to backup your most important information like con...
