Google tablet - 7-inch device in the works?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleMotorolaGoogleAmazoniPad 2GALAXY Tab 10.1XOOM 2Kindle Fire
Google will jump into the tablet market this year with its own 7-inch device, according to a DisplaySearch analyst.
The tablet market has experienced rapid growth over the past couple of years thanks to devices such as the iPad 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Kindle Fire and it looks as though Google wants in on that cake, with its Ice Cream Sandwich operating system providing it with a good starting point.
Speaking to Cnet, analyst Richard Shim suggested that a self-branded, 7-inch (1280x800) Google tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich would start production in April.

Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 still banned in Germany; EU examining Samsung's patents
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court has upheld the ban in Germany of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 but also added that the Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9 falls within the scope of the ruling. The Korean based manufacturer has already worked around the injunction by making changes to the original model and re-introduced it as the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1N. Apple has tried to have that tablet banned, but to no avail. The decision made on Tuesday was based on a violation of German unfair competition law instead of the original community design that the original ruling was based on.
Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents says that the ruling is "a mixed bag" for Apple. Since Samsung already has been allowed to ...

Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab get security nod, certified for government agencies

We didn't have much to complain about when it came to Samsung's flagship phone and tablet, so we're glad to see that both the Galaxy S II and Tab 10.1 have managed to jump through the requisite hoops for FIPS certification. The business-centric feature means that both Samsung devices have been given the thumbs up for use in governmental agencies and other similarly stickler-for-the-rule industries. While the Tab 10.1 certainly isn't the first tablet to receive the certification, it's perhaps the most pervasive.

All white Samsung Galaxy Tabs emerge in Vietnam
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Samsung has released white versions of several of the company’s mobile devices lately. While the back of the various devices would be white, the front bezel around the screen typically remained black — that is, until now. It would appear that Samsung has been working on a white bezel to integrate into the company’s future milky-colored devices; a white Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus have emerged in Vietnam and feature truly all white design. The specs of the Tab 10.1 and Tab 7.0 Plus remain unchanged, reports claim. No pricing or availability details have been announced.

Latest update brings TouchWiz to Verizon's Galaxy Tab 10.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Tab 10.1
When Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 first launched earlier this year it was running a stock version of Honeycomb. At CTIA 2011, the South Korea-based vendor showed off its TouchWiz user interface and promised an update for tablets in the near future. While Wi-Fi versions of the slate were updated soon after the announcement, Verizon’s LTE variant was left untouched — until now. Verizon is currently pushing an over-the-air update that brings TouchWiz along with other fixes and improvements to the Galaxy Tab 10.1. TouchWiz includes numerous custom widgets, a mini app tray, and various “Hubs” for social media, reading, and music and videos. Other additions for the device include support for DivX vid...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Delayed in Australia (Again)
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Samsung was dealt another setback this week in its bid to sell the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia when a court again delayed its release in the country so Apple could file an appeal.
Earlier this week, the full Federal Court of Australia overturned an earlier ruling that banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the region. The device was temporarily banned due to a patent dispute with Apple.
As reported by Reuters, that ban was scheduled to be lifted at 4pm GMT on Friday, but the court today extended it to Dec. 9 so Apple can file its objections.
In its ruling earlier this week, the full court found that Justice Annabelle Bennett did not adequately assess the strength of Apple's patent claims when she al...

Australian court extends Samsung Galaxy Tab ban
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Samsung was dealt another setback in its attempt to sell the Galaxy Tab in Australia. Instead of launching the Galaxy Tab Friday at 4 pm, the Korean company must now wait until December 9th. It’s a significant setback that’ll cost Samsung a week’s worth of holiday sales.
Earlier this week, the Australian Supreme Court overturned the injunction that banned sales of the tablet device. Apple appealed this decision and, just as Samsung was ready to kick off sales, the Cupertino company was granted a week long extension to argue its case. This delays the Galaxy Tab’s launch by yet another week and leaves Samsung and its customers in the lurch.

Apple seeks to ban Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N in Germany
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGALAXY Tab 10.1
Samsung’s tweaks to the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 weren’t enough to satisfy Apple’s legal team. Apple successfully banned Samsung’s German subsidiaries from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 after it accused the South Korea-based company of patent infringement. Samsung responded by releasing a modified Galaxy Tab 10.1N tablet it believed had addressed all of Apple’s concerns. Unfortunately, Apple isn’t satisfied with the changes and it wants to ban Samsung from selling the new tablet as well. A hearing for Apple’s request for an injunction is scheduled for December 22nd, Dow Jones Newswires said. The two companies have been locked in patent-related legal battles around the globe and currently have ...

Ban on Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 reversed by Australian Court, Apple to appeal
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGALAXY Tab 10.1
Last month, Apple won a preliminary injunction from an Australian court which in effect banned Samsung from selling its flagship tablet, the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1, in the country. Apple had alleged that the Korean based manufacturer infringed upon its patents and the court initially agreed. Hoping to somehow salvage the holiday season, Samsung quickly appealed the ruling with the company's lawyer Neil Young (who does not have a "Heart of Gold") saying that the tablet was dead if it could not be offered for the holiday season.
As we reported last week, the Australian appeals court seemed to agree with Samsung's position that banning the tablet from being sold in the country was too harsh of...

Australian Galaxy Tab 10.1 ban 'not terribly fair' to Samsung, appeals judge says
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
An appeals judge in Australia recently said that a ruling which banned Samsung’s local subsidiaries from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was unfair to Samsung. “The result looks terribly fair to Apple and not terribly fair to Samsung,” federal court justice Lindsay Foster said on Friday. Samsung’s lawyer Neil Young said the lawyer in the original case, federal court justice Annabelle Bennett, failed to take into consideration the “dire consequences” that the ban would have on Samsung during the holiday shopping season. “We contend that the primary judge made a series of fundamental errors in her disposition of the interlocutory application,” a Samsung attorney said. “They were all errors of prin...

Cyanogen 9 coming soon to Galaxy Tab 10.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
The last we had heard, Cyanogen 9, which is based on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, wouldn't be rolling out for a couple months, or at least we shouldn't bother asking Team Douche about it for a couple months. But, now it seems Galaxy Tab 10.1 users may get in on the fun much sooner.
Just last week Steve Kondik, founder of Cyanogen, tweeted that work had begun on Cyanogen 9. A mere four days later, he posted on Google+ (he plussed? he GPed? We need a good verb for it...) and said that Cyanogen 9 is "great" on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and should be "coming soon" to CyanogenMod mirrors.
We expected work on Cyanogen 9 to go faster on Honeycomb tablets because the drivers for those devices...

Samsung delivers Android 3.2 Honeycomb update to Galaxy Tab 10.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSamsungGoogleGALAXY Tab 10.1Android 3.2
Last week, Samsung released an update to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that brought along Android 3.2 Honeycomb to the slate. Unfortunately, it also broke a few important functions, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and others on a number of users' tablets. As a result of that, Samsung quickly halted the roll-out of the update to fix the issues. Now, the company claims that it has resolved all of the problems with the upgrade and has started distributing it to users once again. Owners of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 should get a notification on the tablet when the update is ready to be downloaded and installed. It can also be installed from Samsung's Kies desktop app on a PC.

Samsung's modified Galaxy Tab 10.1N for Germany gets examined
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGALAXY Tab 10.1
As you may recall from earlier this week, Samsung has started selling a slightly modified version of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Germany to satisfy a recent court ruling, which deemed the original model a little too Apple-like in some respects. Just how modified is the new 10.1N model? Well, you can thank NewGadgets.de for our first real look at it. As expected, the changes are all found around the edges of the device, including a more pronounced metal lip that creeps further across the bezel, some repositioned speakers, and... that's about it, really.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 available again in Germany

Back in August we reported that sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 were halted in Germany due to patent infringement claims from Apple. Apple claimed that the physical design of Samsung’s tablet was too close to the look of the iPad.
Samsung has redesigned the tablet and re-released it in Germany as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N. Cyberport, a German electronics retailer, is already taking orders for the white 16GB model of the tablet on its website for €549.
The picture below shows the old model at the bottom and the new Galaxy Tab 10.1N on the top. It looks as though the major difference is the metal trim on the new device wraps around further in the front. At this point in time, it looks ...
