Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 available again in Germany

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 available again in Germany

Posted on Nov 17, 2011 by MG1

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 ...

Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus coming to T-Mobile on November 16

Posted on Nov 08, 2011 by MG1

The Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus is an Android tablet that we are already familiar with. Announced a little over a month ago, the slate is meant to succeed the old-school GALAXY Tab, which brought the 7-inch tablet form factor to the mainstream. However, what we didn't know so far was whether any major carrier would be willing to add the 7.0 Plus to its lineup, but some light has just been shed on that matter as well.
T-Mobile just announced that it is going to offer the Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus beginning November 16. The tablet will be available for $249 after rebate and will come along with a 2-year Value Mobile Broadband plan attached to it.
So, what exactly do you get for your money? W...

Verizon's November Roadmap includes Galaxy Nexus, new Xoom tablets

Verizon's November Roadmap includes Galaxy Nexus, new Xoom tablets

Posted on Nov 08, 2011 by MG1

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is going to hit shelves a lot sooner then we all thought. A leaked Verizon road map suggests a November 21 “web only” launch date for the next big Android handset. This news comes after reports first suggested a launch on the 10th then that date switched to a Nov. 17 launch. Rumor after rumor seems to come almost daily, as Verizon keeps pushing the actual release date all over the place.
Maybe this Nov. 21 date sticks, especially since it happens to be on the same week as Black Friday and the release of the Droid Razr according to the road map. It would be a smart move for America’s largest carrier to release one of the most anticipated phones of the ye...

Samsung appeals Australian Galaxy Tab 10.1 injunction in Apple case

Posted on Oct 28, 2011 by MG1

Samsung has appealed a ruling by an Australian court that prevents it from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country in an effort to get the tablet on store shelves in time for the holidays. Samsung attorney Neil Young accused Justice Annabelle Bennett of making “irrelevant considerations” and “making errors of law in her approach” to the injunction. The request for an appeal hearing will be granted by Justice Lindsay Foster, likely for the week of November 21st, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. Samsung and Apple are currently locked in a number of legal battles around the globe. Apple has successfully blocked Samsung’s local retailers in Australia and The Netherlands from sell...

T-Mobile Reveals Galaxy Tab 10.1, Springboard Launch Dates

Posted on Oct 26, 2011 by MG1

T-Mobile this week revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will arrive on November 2, while Huawei's Springboard tablet will hit its network on November 9.
Pricing for both devices has not yet been revealed.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus goes on pre-order

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus goes on pre-order

Posted on Oct 21, 2011 by MG1

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus has shown up on Amazon for pre-order. Unfortunately, there is still no exact release date given for the tab, and the pricing puts it in a weird range.
The rumor has been that the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus would be coming to the US, and not the Tab 7.7, and the Tab 7.0 Plus is certainly aiming for a more budget-conscious consumer. The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus has been listed on Amazon at $399 for the 16 GB model, and $499 for the 32 GB model. That's about where we would expect the prices to hit, especially given that Samsung is looking to turn a profit on this hardware, unlike Amazon with its $199 Kindle Fire, which will be a loss-leader to get people into Amazon's vario...

US judge denies Apple some bans, says Samsung is copying

US judge denies Apple some bans, says Samsung is copying

Posted on Oct 14, 2011 by MG15

Federal court Judge Lucy Koh on Thursday tentatively denied some of Apple's calls for a preliminary US ban on Samsung devices. She believed there wasn't enough of an urgent case to ban the hardware based on a "utility" patent but hadn't issued a definitive verdict on three design-related patents. Apple might have trouble proving the patents were violated, she said.

Koh also wasn't convinced Apple couldn't just recoup any lost damages at the trial itself.

In spite of the apparent relief, Koh made it clear she was likely to side with Apple in the long term. She believed Galaxy Tab models "do infringe" on patents relating to the iPad, even if Apple couldn't prove validity at this stage. In co...

Apple wins temporary ban of Samsung tablets in Australia

Apple wins temporary ban of Samsung tablets in Australia

Posted on Oct 14, 2011 by MG15

Apple has secured a temporary ban on the sale of Samsung tablets in Australia after launching legal action against the Korean company for allegedly copying the iPad too closely. In the federal court of New South Wales, Justice Annabelle Bennett granted the injunction, which prohibits the sale of Samsung's tablets until the lengthy patent battle between the two technology giants has been resolved.

"I am satisfied that it is appropriate to grant an interim injunction," Justice Bennett said, confirming that Apple had valid cause for legal action for the breach of its touchscreen technology patents. The dispute will now head towards a full hearing, although it is unlikely to take place until at...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to cost 499 EUR in Europe

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to cost 499 EUR in Europe

Posted on Oct 14, 2011 by MG1

When Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, it forgot to mention how much it will cost. Thanks to Netbook.it we now know how much the Korean company will ask for the brand new tablet in Italy – 499 EUR. That’s not that bad for a device as capable as the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, which as you probably know builds on the success of Sammy’s original Galaxy Tab product. However, under the hood it’s a completely different beast with specs that include a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, HSPA+ and Wi-Fi connectivity, 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, the same 7-inch 1024×600 pixels capacitive touchscreen, while Android Honeycomb 3.2 is running t...
