Samsung Conquer 4G redefines the entry level Android smartphone, drops TouchWiz
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungConquer 4G
There’s nothing we love more than a vanilla build of Android, especially when it’s Android Gingerbread. Samsung has quietly announced ‘Conquer 4G’, its new entry level Android smartphone destined for a US release on Sprint’s 4G WiMax network.
When you hear entry level and Android used in the same sentence, the last thing you’d expect to hear is a 1 GHz processor. Surprisingly that’s exactly what’s inside the Conquer 4G, along with a 3.5-inch HVGA resolution touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, 1.3-megapixel front facing camera and Tri-band CDMA support.

Samsung wants to ban imports of Apple products to the US
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
The legal battle between Apple and Samsung is heating up, and after Apple accused the Koreans of “slavishly” copying iDevices, Samsung has replied vigorously by first asking to see the next-gen iPhone and iPad, while now it's asking the US International Trade Commission to ban imports of Apple-made products into the United States.
The claim is made over patents and extends over iPods, iPhones and iPads, which are only designed in the States, but have to be imported from other countries where they are manufactured. "The complaint requests relief in the form of a permanent exclusion order prohibiting entry to the United States of all Apple products in violation of these patents," Samsung menti...

Samsung releases class 10, 32GB microSD cards into the wild
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Samsung has launched a new high-speed, class 10 certified 32GB microSD card to the market, following Lexar and a number of other manufacturers who have had these cards available for some time.
The new card from Samsung is capable of writing data at 12MB per second, and reading data at twice that pace (24MB per second, for those deficient in math skills). Those speeds are more than double that of the class 4 cards currently on the market. Samsung is aiming the new card at owners of mobile phones that can record HD video and need faster throughput.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab Getting Gingerbread Update July 5
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleGALAXY TabAndroid 2.3
The Samsung Galaxy Tab seems like it has been left in the dust by its sexier Android tablet counterparts – the Motorola Xoom and its successor, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9. The latter tablets are sporting Honeycomb, a version of Android meant for large screens, while the more portable Galaxy Tab with its 7-inch display is still rocking Froyo.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 gets Ubuntu OS installed overtop Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
GalaxyTabHacks has posted detailed instructions on how interested parties can install Ubuntu Linux onto the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The hack finds a way to use the distribution without completely overriding Android. Dubbed Tabuntu, the OS runs as it would on a virtual machine.
The mod allows users to run native Linux programs on the tablet. The host Galaxy Tab needs to be rooted, and the instructions are rather detailed, though they are available in the development video (below). Busybox also needs to be installed onto the host Tab. The source site above also has links to the files users will need to download.
The creator of the mod admits the browser exhibits lag but can be used, and is sa...

TBH app leaks Gingerbread for Droid Charge
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroid 2.3Droid Charge
Team Black Hat's got a trick or two up its (we assume) matching black sleeve and it smells like Gingerbread 2.3.3 to us. Released via the hacking outfit's eponymous non-Android market app, this unofficial upgrade ups your Droid Charge's ante -- literally, as the app costs $2.99. Available in both carrier-bloat and non-bloated varieties, custom ROM-flashing addicts can now take this leak for a spin, and always downgrade via P3Droid's handy tweeted directions. Cost-conscious Charge owners shouldn't feel sidelined since the generous blokes behind TBH intend on distributing this gratis... in the next 48 hours.

Samsung Galaxy S II 4G is offically coming to Bell; no word yet on pricing or release date
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Recently, we reported that a leaked screenshot indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S II will be making its way to Bell in the north, but now we’re finally getting an official confirmation regarding the matter.
Going by the name of the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G, with its support for theoretical speeds up to 21Mbps, the handset is now being teased on Bell’s web site for all to see. Although we can safely say that the highly awaited handset will indeed be coming to Bell, we’re still left in the dark regarding its pricing and availability. As we’ve reported already, the handset is more than likely gearing up for some kind of mid-July release.

Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 available for preorder
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Tab 10.1
If you really wanted a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but wished it had mobile data connectivity built it, you’ll be happy to know that the Verizon 4G LTE version is now available in preorder. There are a few caveats though.
The first issue is that the Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 won’t ship for at least a month, as the company is quoting 4-6 weeks before it will get to you. If you love your gadgets as much as we do, that’s going to be a long, long time to wait.
The second issue that some of you may come up against is price. The Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 will start at $529 for the 16 GB model and $629 for the 32 GB version. That’s not much more than the WiFi-only model but these come saddled...

Samsung Files ITC Complaint Against Apple for iPhone, iPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
News of the Samsung and Apple legal battle seems to be making weekly headlines. It started when Apple accused Samsung of “slavishly copying” its mobile designs (i.e. iPhone, iPad) and having no innovative products of its own. Samsung fired back by suing Apple for wireless patent infringements. Last week, we learned that Apple sued Samsung in its home base, South Korea, for several patent infringements. This time around, Samsung is filing a complaint with the International Trade Commission to place an injunction on the import of iPhone and iPad devices into the U.S.

HP confirms it's in talks about licensing webOS, Samsung tipped as a possibility
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsSamsungHPPalmwebOS
HP CEO Leo Apotheker has already indicated that he's totally open to licensing webOS to other companies, and he's now confirmed that HP has, in fact, been in talks with a "number of companies" about that possibility. Not surprisingly, he didn't get much more specific than that, and went some way to dampen expectations a bit, saying that "there is no time pressure to do this." According to Bloomberg, however, "three people with knowledge of the discussions" say that Samsung is one of the companies HP has had talks with, and one said that the company is specifically interested in possibly using webOS for its Galaxy Tab tablets. HP's Jon Rubinstein also dished a bit more on the subject to This ...

Samsung rumored making Galaxy S II Plus with 1.4GHz chip
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung is rumored to be working on a high-end iPhone 5 rival, says Pop Herald. The phone, which may or may not be known as the Galaxy S II Plus, would sport a 1.4GHz processor instead of the 1.2GHz in the current S II. The iPhone 5 is expected to arrive in September, and would mean flagship handsets from competitors would be about six months behind.
There should also be 1GB of RAM onboard and Android 2.3.4 overlaid by the TouchWiz UI. Google Talk with video call support would come with the new OS build. The device, whatever its name, is expected to launch in August or September.
Samsung has already been having strong sales of the current S II and may have little incentive to upgrade the pho...

New Details On Google';s Next Nexus: Now Known As Nexus Prime Built By Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungGoogle
When we reported on the Nexus 4G, Google’s first Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone, we weren’t sure whether or not it would be a “pure Google” device or a handset made by one of the tech giant’s manufacturing partners. The inside source promised a “monster-sized” 720p display, a 4G radio of some kind, an an OMAP440 processor, but none of the leaked specs hinted at who would make the device.
Today, however, BGR’s source has given some new information about the handset that definitively answers our question. According to the source, that “monster-sized” screen will be a “Super AMOLED HD” display, which can only mean one thing: Samsung is getting in on the Ice Cream Sandwich party.

Apple breaking up with Samsung as components supplier, embracing the TSMC foundries
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Numerous industry sources point to Apple trying to get away from what is turning out to be its biggest competitor instead of a mere components supplier, Samsung.
The move seems to be already underway, with the Taiwanese TSMC foundries picking up the slack, and likely to receive the orders for the A6 chipset next year, when Apple is expected to break up with Samsung completely.
The Koreans were still making the A5 chipset in the iPad 2, the flash memory bits, as well as other components for Apple, before the legal battle between the two companies began, but Cupertino is looking for alternative shops on all of these, and we bet it can't wait for the contracts to end.
TSMC is a contract fab, w...

Leak reveals Samsung's first Android slider for Verizon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungVerizon WirelessGoogleAndroid
PocketNow obtained a couple of leaked photographs of a Samsung device that is apparently the SCH-i405. For the Korean based manufacturer, it will be its first Android flavored device with a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard for Verizon, and has a resemblance to the Samsung Epic 4G that currently resides at Sprint.
The SCH-i405 model number puts the handset right after the Samsung Continuum which means that the specs, when released, probably won't blow your mind. The phone did receive Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certification but has yet to meet the august members of the FCC. That gives us about 6-8 weeks before a possible launch on Verizon. Of course, most of the carrier's customers have their heart and ...
