Windows 8 Tablet from Samsung gets unveiled next Week

Windows 8 Tablet from Samsung gets unveiled next Week

Posted on Sep 09, 2011 by MG1

Several reports appeared today about the first Windows 8 Tablet. The Korean Economics Times reports that Samsung has partnered with Microsoft to make the first Windows 8 Tablet. The new Windows Tablet will be already unveiled at the Build developer conference next week (September 13-16). ThisIsMyNext reports that developers attending the conference might get one for free. This still does not confirm that Microsoft is actually ready to launch the Windows 8 Tablet this year. Windows 8 OS is supposed to launch late 2012. There have been rumors that Microsoft will release the tablet version earlier. It would be good for them, as they are really late in the game this time.
It is of course not the...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA 2011 because of a new Apple injunction against it

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA 2011 because of a new Apple injunction against it

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

The mysterious yanking of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet from the show floor at the IFA 2011 expo has been confirmed by Samsung to be caused by a preliminary injunction Apple secured against the tablet on Friday, September 2.
Cupertino already scored one injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany, and, although Samsung labeled its first tablet sample with Super AMOLED display as "Not for sale in Germany" on the following day of the expo, this obviously hadn't been enough to secure its continuous presentation on the floor of IFA 2011.
James Chung, a Samsung spokesperson from the Korean headquarters, has confirmed for Bloomberg that Apple has been granted an injunction to ban...

Vodafone Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 goes on sale for £229

Vodafone Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 goes on sale for £229

Posted on Sep 05, 2011 by MG1

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is now available on Vodafone, which should come as a great relief for all those involved.
The 10.1-inch Honeycomb tablet will cost £229 if you agree to sign up to a 2-year, £27-a-month contract.
Vodafone has had a turbulent time getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to its customers, with the company first offering an exclusive model with a better camera before Samsung made the rash decision that the tab wasn’t good enough to compete with the iPad 2.
After that crisis, Vodafone was, for a time, still going to stock the model, instead calling it the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V to emphasis the difference.
That debacle over, and everything looked set for a smooth ride unt...

Inside, it runs the same Samsung-made dual-core 1.4GHz processor found in the new Galaxy Note, along with an HSPA+ radio promising theoretical download speeds as high as 21Mbps.

Samsung delays Galaxy Tab 10.1 launch in Australia amid patent battle with Apple

Samsung delays Galaxy Tab 10.1 launch in Australia amid patent battle with Apple

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

Just a few days after suffering a legal setback in Dutch court, Samsung has now decided to delay the launch of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, amid its heightening patent infringement battle with Apple. In a hearing today, the Korean manufacturer announced that it would refrain from selling or marketing its new tablet within Australia, before September 30th. Samsung made a similar concession earlier this month, agreeing to halt sales of its slates until today's hearing and to provide Apple with product samples at least seven days prior to its Australian launch. The company says it presented the samples on Thursday, but Cupertino's lawyers insisted that the Australian version of the Galaxy ...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android tablet will come in LTE version

Posted on Aug 26, 2011 by MG15

Samsung seems intent on offering a tablet in just about every size that consumers might want. It has the 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab, a smaller 7-inch version and the 8.9-inch Tab crossed the FCC not long ago. We know that many of the tablets that are coming to market in the next few months will be packing LTE technology inside since LTE networks will be rolled out by several carriers.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Galaxy Note, and Wave 3 are revealed thanks to Samsung's Unpacked app

Posted on Aug 26, 2011 by MG15

In its current state, Samsung’s recently available Unpackedapp for Android is pretty much useless right now except for the notion that it teases us with the potential of getting live news and updates when the company kicks off their event at the IFA trade show.

However, one person managed to do some snooping around and uncovered a trio of new logos residing within the Samsung Mobile Unpacked APK. In fact, we’re greeted to three very distinctive devices – the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Samsung Wave 3, and the Samsung Galaxy Note.

LG, Samsung and Sharp to provide iPad 3 Retina display

LG, Samsung and Sharp to provide iPad 3 Retina display

Posted on Aug 24, 2011 by MG15

LG, Samsung and Sharp will provide Retina displays for Apple’s iPad 3, DigiTimes reported on Tuesday. In mid-July, rumors surfaced that Apple was testing Retina displays from Samsung and LG, and those rumors were confirmed days later when LG’s CEO said Apple will use its Retina LCDs in its next-generation iPad. Apple is also reportedly considering an investment of as much as $1 billion in a new Sharp factory that will be used to provide screens for its iPhone and iPad products. LG will be the largest iPad 3 LCD supplier followed by Samsung, although DigiTimes said Sharp could soon surpass the South Korea-based company as Apple’s second largest iPad 3 panel provider.

WiFi Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gets Improved GPU Performance With TouchWiz UX

WiFi Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gets Improved GPU Performance With TouchWiz UX

Posted on Aug 23, 2011 by MG15

So you read our TouchWiz UX Review and thought, "I'll pass on this one." Well, think it over one more time. When Anand discovered that Sammy's LTE Tab was blessed with updated graphics drivers that brought it much improved performance we wondered whether the WiFi editions would be similarly blessed. We tested our Google I/O Limited Edition Tab first, and came up empty. But our updated review sample actually showed the same performance jump as the LTE edition. Not sure why LE owners are left in the cold, but retail Tab owners should take notice, NVIDIA's Tegra 2 GPU has never looked so good. We're reaching out to Google for comment, in the meanwhile, Tab LE owners, let us know what you're per...

Samsung promises big announcement on September 1st

Samsung promises big announcement on September 1st

Posted on Aug 22, 2011 by MG15

Samsung has released two teaser videos that promise “something big” is coming during the IFA trade show in Berlin, which kicks off on September 1st. The videos are vague: one shows scenes by an ocean and the second has a number of people walking around with glowing objects in their hands. It is possible the clips are hinting at Samsung’s rumored Android Honeycomb Galaxy Tab device, which packs a 7-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution, a 3-megapixel camera and a 2-megapixel camera for video chats. Samsung unveiled the original 7-inch Galaxy Tab last year, so it’s entirely possible that an update will be announced on September 1st. But, some of the users are also holding...

Posted on Aug 19, 2011 by MG3

The TV is priced at $1,499, which makes the offer sound pretty tempting considering that the tablet itself costs a third of that.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz UX update paused for some bug-squashing

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz UX update paused for some bug-squashing

Posted on Aug 17, 2011 by MG3

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 shipped with as plain of an UI as Android Honeycomb intended in the US, and the TouchWiz UX update began rolling shortly after launch.
Now it seems that Samsung has put the update on hold for the time being, saying it needs to ensure a positive customer experience, which is corporatese for "we need to pull it in and squash some bugs". People at XDA-Devs have been complaining about graphics issues after the update, so that might be it.

Samsung to appeal EU Galaxy Tab 10.1 ban on August 25th

Posted on Aug 15, 2011 by MG3

Samsung will appeal a recent ruling by The Regional Court of Düsseldorf in Germany that bars the South Korean tablet maker from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 device in the whole of the European Union except for the Netherlands, The Wall Street Journal said on Friday. The appeal court date is set for August 25th. Samsung could face fines of up to $350,000 per unit if it continues to sell the device in the European Union. On August 1st, Apple also blocked Samsung from selling its tablet in Australia until courts rule whether or not the device infringes on 10 of Apple’s patents. Apple has a similar case open in the United States in which it has accused Samsung of creating copycat devices of its i...
