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...

Droid 4 launch to coincide with Galaxy Nexus in US?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaGALAXY NexusDROID 4
Motorola's much anticipated Droid 4 is set to launch the same day as Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone. A Verizon document points to a 8 December arrival for the new phone.
The launch date hasn't been totally confirmed for the new device and it is important to remember that the Galaxy Nexus isn't set in stone either.
More exciting however is the spec sheet listed on droid-life.com, which shows off what the Droid 4 is going to be capable. A 4 inch super AMOLED display, Razr looks and backlit 5 row keyboard are just the start of this feature packed handset. Moto has always performed with its Droid handsets and this Gingerbread powered release will likely be the same. The 1080p capable cam on the b...

Android 2.3 Gingerbread update headed to Samsung DROID Charge "soon"
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroid 2.3Droid Charge
Verizon Wireless has revealed that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the Samsung DROID Charge smartphone will be released in the near future, or "soon" as the carrier puts it. The update will add security fixes and performance enhancements along with all of the other goodies that come with Android 2.3. Verizon typically rolls these updates out slowly, so users will have to sit back and wait for the notification on their phones alerting them that the update is ready to download and install.

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...

Galaxy Nexus shipping now in America: unlocked for $750 through Expansys
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Pre-order, pre-schmorder. Americans more anxious to blow $750 on the planet's first Ice Cream Sandwich handset than anything on Black Friday can do so right now, as Samsung's Galaxy Nexus is shipping from the warehouses at Expansys. We've received independent confirmation that orders placed today are shipping out, with the aforesaid tally nabbing you an unlocked 16GB GSM (HSPA+) build that plays nice with T-Mobile and AT&T's 3G bands. What it won't nab you, however, is a pack of nabs. Can't win 'em all, right?

Google responds to Galaxy Nexus volume bug: 'we have a fix!'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
The Galaxy Nexus volume bug has been squashed in Google's labs. The Android software maker has just announced it has a fix for the problem plaguing UK owners of the new Nexus, which will be rolled out "as soon as possible." Here's Google's statement in full:
"We are aware of the volume issue and have developed a fix. We will update devices as soon as possible."
It was starting to look like the pseudo-random volume fluctuation on the device was a hardware issue, one that would potentially require the replacement of affected handsets, but Google's promise of an update would seem to indicate that's not the case. Let's hope the remedy is as simple as an over-the-air software update.

Google updates Verizon Nexus page, 32 GB internal storage is back
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
For those of you pining away for the latest Nexus phone to arrive on Verizon, it’s been a roller-coaster of rumors the last few days. Perhaps the most disheartening was when Google updated its product pages and eliminated the 32 GB model of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, leaving only a 16 GB version.
Much panic ensued on enthusiast sites – many consumers feel that the lack of removable storage isn’t a big deal as long as a generous amount of internal storage is provided. After all, iPhone owners have been making this tradeoff for years. But the specter of only having 16 GB of internal storage had many people questioning whether this would be enough.
Worry no more, as Google has once again updated...

Amazon, Best Buy botch Galaxy Nexus name in new ads
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
While it’s pretty painful to watch Verizon do the same thing for a highly anticipated Android phone, the desire for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus hasn’t waned in the least bit. That said, with all the hype that’s been surrounding the handset, some still haven’t gotten the name right. In the past two days, both Amazon and Best Buy have advertised (in one way or another) different names for the Galaxy Nexus by digging up the older Nexus Prime moniker.
First up is Amazon, which not only claims the handset is the Nexus Prime but the Samsung Galaxy S II Nexus Prime 4G. While this is likely just a placeholder for the real deal, it is a little odd to see the Nexus Prime name pop up again and even more s...

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 to launch Google TV next year
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungGoogle
Samsung’s visual display division president Yoon Boo-Keun confirmed to The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday that his company plans to launch a television with Google TV software next year. The Google TV platform allows users to browse the web and interact with a television in a similar fashion as they would with a computer. However, Google TV products, such as Logitech’s Revue set-top box, have failed so miserably that Logitech’s CEO described the product as a “mistake.” It is unclear how Samsung plans to differentiate its televisions from set top boxes, which suffered from poor sales, but new Google TV software paired with Samsung’s position in the television market could help raise consumer ...

With Nvidia officially taking the reigns off of its quad-core Tegra 3 platform, it was only going to be a matter of time before the quad-core smartphone rumours began.
But it's not a Kal-El powered phone whisper that has caught Pocket-lint's eye - but rather the murmur of a quad-core packing Samsung Galaxy S III that has got the fandroid in us all hot an bothered.
According to an Android and Me source, Samsung has some devices planned for early 2012 that will "blow minds" and that are a "big step past the Galaxy Nexus class, in every way".
Blimey o'trousers indeed - that's some prediction.
