Samsung Galaxy Y heading to Vodafone UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy Y
Of all the new Android smartphones Samsung announced recently, the Galaxy W was the one that grabbed instant attention, with Three and O2 lining up to start offering it later this month. Vodafone seems to care more about its little (and less powerful) brother – Galaxy Y, which got a spot in the Big Red carrier’s coming soon pages.
If you recall, this is an entry-level device with a familiar all-touchscreen form factor. Specs wise, it comes with a 3-inch QVGA display, 2-megapixel camera, HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, 832MHz processor, microSD memory card slot, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show with Sammy’s own TouchWiz UI singing on top.

Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G Touch available for $99.99 from Walmart Wireless
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungEpic 4G Touch
And we thought that Wirefly’s deal for Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G Touch was smoking hot. $150 certainly sounded great considering that the carrier itself will ask $50 more right from the start, but now Walmart Wireless has an even better offer – $100 ($99.99 to be more precise)! Of course, putting your signature on a new two-year contract is still required, but that comes as given these days. If you’ve no problem with that, hit this link and secure your Epic 4G Touch unit now… or wait for other carriers to launch their own flavors of the Samsung Galaxy S II (presuming you don’t like or want Sprint).

Cricket premieres the Samsung Vitality: the first smartphone with unlimited Muve Music
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungCricketAdmire
Regional carrier Cricket might not have hit the spotlight recently with major announcements, but its Muve Music all you can eat service, is one of the better options for feeding all of your musical hunger at a low price. Up until now, though, Muve was only available on feature phones like the Samsung Suede, which couldn’t quite elevate it. The Samsung Vitality, a branch-off of the Samsung Admire, is the first smartphone to break that sad tradition.
The Vitality comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and humble spec sheet: a 3.5-inch screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, an 800MHz processor, a 3.2 megapixel camera, all depending on a 1,600mAh battery. No stellar heights as you can see, .....

HTC may buy its own smartphone OS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC
HTC has seen tremendous success with its Android smartphones, reporting record revenue month after month thanks to ballooning handset shipments. HTC’s Android smartphones are also the target of numerous patent attacks, however, and despite new-found support from Google, the Taiwan-based vendor is reportedly investigating alternative paths. After all, Google’s free operating system is getting expensive. Perhaps as a result, a report from Focus Taiwan states that HTC chairwoman Cher Wang has confirmed that the vendor is considering a purchase of a new smartphone operating system. Read on for more.

Best Buy puts the Sony Tablet S on display for pre-order
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet S
The story of what is currently going on with the Sony Tablet S is a bit muddled. As we reported, Home Shopping Network is offering the 16GB version of the Android tablet for $599.95. Now keep in mind that the typical HSN viewer might not be someone who is well versed in technology and wouldn't know the difference between a device with 16GB of storage, or one with 32GB of storage. HSN says that the tablets are ready to ship.
On the other hand, Sony is taking pre-orders for the same 16GB version of the tablet for $499.99. The tablet is expected to ship on the 16th of this month which means if you can wait until Friday, you can save a C-note. Otherwise, if you buy the device from HSN you will ...

Samsung Focus Flash announced by AT&T, runs Mango and flies on 4G airwaves
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftAT&TWindows Phone 7.5Focus Flash
The Samsung Focus Flash was among the trio of Windows Phone handsets that AT&T officially announced today, the other two being the Samsung Focus S and the HTC TITAN. It may be touted as the most affordable one out of the three, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will not have much to offer for its money.
Under its hood will tick a 1.4GHz processor, and a 5-megapixel camera will be gracing its back. Its front will be occupied by a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display, and a front-facing camera will be also in stock.
On the software side, the Samsung Focus Flash will run Windows Phone Mango, just like its bigger siblings. Furthermore, all Windows Phone handsets in AT&T's lineup are expected to...

Are you a US Cellular customer who is feeling a little left out from the lack of new Motorolahandsets on the carrier? Fret no more, good chum, as the Motorola Electrify has just been announced, which is essentially the Photon 4G. The dual-core toting Android phone will land on the sixth largest carrier in the nation later this month and give you more power in your hands than you know what to do with.

AT&T/T-Mobile merger could put Sprint out of business
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileAT&T
Chitika Insights, Chitika’s research arm, recently proposed the question “What if AT&T and T-Mobile actually merge?” and created a graph of what the wireless landscape in the United States might look like if AT&T’s proposed $39 billion takeover of T-Mobile USA is passed. Chitika concluded there could be calamitous consequences for Sprint and various regional carriers such as Boost and MetroPCS. If the merger is approved, AT&T and T-Mobile will have more than 130 million subscribers and 51% of the U.S. wireless market based on usage, Chitika’s data suggests. “[The] projection shows the immediate impact of the merger, so the smaller network’s share looks unscathed,” the company wrote its blog....

HP Made a 3D Scanner You Can Actually Afford
Like UnlikeFiled in: Imaging DevicesHPTopShot LaserJet Pro M275
Scanners are a bit of a running joke around the Giz office. "If you post a scanner, you're probably fired," our editors demi-joke. So it's sorta distressing news that HP's got a cheap 3D scanner that's actually kind of awesome.
HP's TopShot Laserjet Pro M275 works by taking six images of an object and compiling them into one 3D image. It also connects to wireless networks, so it can send the image wherever as soon as it's scanned, and it's got AirPrint, which lets you print directly from an iPad, Pod, or Phone.
But the price is the oh-hey-waitaminute bit: $400 is sort of nuts for a 3D scanner. The TopShot certainly won't have the same granular image quality as the models that go for tens of ...

Will Apple CEO Tim Cook make a Game Console?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
As many of you know, I’ve often been critical on these pages of Apple’s inability to fully capitalize on the living room. I’m a firm believer that the company has a real opportunity to be a dominant force in home entertainment, and yet, it hasn’t done anything to prove that. So far, the Apple TV is the best offering it has, and most would agree, that that device is still just a “hobby.”

Evernote Planning IPO
Like UnlikeThe next technology darling to head for an initial public offering (IPO) could be the stellar note taking service Evernote, Reuters is reporting. Evernote CEO Phil Libin told Reuter that an IPO is inevitable, but they were not rushing into anything. Considering the trouble Groupon has had, that sounds wise.
Evernote has upwards of 14 million users, 500,000 of which pay $5 per month for premium accounts. Evernote has an app for most mobile platforms, a web interface, and a desktop client. Users can upload plain text, images, and audio to keep their lives in order. The explosion in mobile devices has been a boon for Evernote. Libin says that 70% of users sign up from an Android or iOS device.

Samsung's Windows 8 demo tablet could still use Intel chips
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftIntelWindows 8
Samsung's Windows 8 reference tablet due at Microsoft's Build conference next week might still be using Intel processors. A new slip late Friday maintained that, in spite of its slim and possibly quad-core design pointing to ARM, "at least one version" would still have the familiar x86 architecture would still be in place. The CNET tip hesitated to say it wouldn't be shown with ARM and left the door open to both being on display.
The design might be given out to developers at Build but isn't expected to translate into a shipping product for the public as-is. Samsung might adapt it or use it as the foundation for a shipping product when Windows 8 is ready in mid-2012.
