Google Movies now available on the Samsung Galaxy Tab?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab
According to an article on Android Central, Google and Samsung are updating Android Market with the Google Movies service for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Apparently everything starts with select users firing up Android Market only to see the new terms and conditions displayed on the screen. Once accepted, the Market app closes down and then when it’s started again, the new “movies” tab appears.

Apple looks to Samsung as LG fails to meet iPad 2 display demands, report claims
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungLGAppleiPad 2
Apple will turn to Samsung and Chimei Innolux to supply display panels for its iPad 2 after LG’s panels failed to meet Apple’s quality requirements. The quality issues with LG’s displays forced the company to miss its July monthly shipment goal by 1 million units, DigiTimes said. Reportedly, LG’s LCD backlight units failed during Apple’s drop tests. LG had hoped to ship 4 million LCD units per month during the third quarter, but only shipped an estimated 2.5-2.6 million units in July. Samsung, by comparison, provided the Cupertino-based firm with two million displays, or twice its monthly average. Chimei Innolux shipped 450,000 units during the month and the company has a new monthly shipmen...

Apple Successfully Blocks Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 From Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple and Samsung have been in the heat of an intense legal battle across several countries, but it looks like Apple has taken the upper hand. We recently heard that Samsung had decided not to sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android tablet in Australia due to the legal issues with Apple. This time around, the tablet has been blocked from being sold in Europe, giving us a clear sign that things are tipping in Apple’s favor.
The issue originally started when the iPhone maker accused Samsung of “slavishly copying” the iPhone and iPad design, and that the Korean manufacturer lacked any originality or innovation. Samsung returned fire by suing Apple for infringing on several wireless patents. The two ha...

Amazon UK has the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 on pre-order; shipping next week
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAmazonGALAXY Tab 8.9
At long last, the European market is finally seeing the long awaited Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, but not to ruin the monumental arriving, it seems that we might soon see its slightly smaller sibling arriving in the very near future.
Always a consideration for those who don’t want to be trotting around with a large gadget, Amazon UK currently has the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 up for pre-order on their site. Interestingly, its in-stock date is set for next week on August 12th, which means that it’s coming much sooner than what most people think.
However, it’s surely sporting one serious price tag out of the gate and seems intent on catching the gaze of only diehard early adopters. Priced at...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 shows up for pre-order at Amazon.co.uk, ships August 11th
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 8.9
Back when we got word of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 making its British debut on August 4th, Samsung told us that our UK brethren could expect its elusive younger sibling, the 8.9, "later in the year." Well, if its recently minted Amazon page is correct, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 will land across the pond just one week after its big brother, on August 11th. The 3G-sporting Android tablet carries a £605 price tag. Considering its stop off at the FCC in June, and the recent appearance of the Retail Mode app, we hope to see the 8.9 stateside sometime soon. Otherwise, it'll be off to the UK for you die-hard Galaxy fans.

Samsung demands 'optional' UI to get Android 3.2 on Tab 10.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSamsungGoogleGALAXY Tab 10.1Android 3.2
Samsung as part of the kickoff of its TouchWiz rollout for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 revealed that the update wouldn't be optional in practice for real users. Although owners will have the option of declining the custom interface, they won't have the option of upgrading to Android 3.2, Ice Cream Sandwich, or any other patch. The move would leave everyone preferring the original, stock experience locked to 3.1 for the device's remaining lifetime.
TouchWiz had been promised for the tablet from March onwards, but Samsung only clarified that it wouldn't be preloaded relatively close to the launch.
The interface brings some potentially helpful additions, like a more advanced quick control panel, live p...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 kept from Australians by Apple injunction
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple has taken its patent infringement and trade dress case against Samsung to the land down under, as it has now filed an injunction against Samsung with Australian courts. As a result, Samsung has agreed to stop promoting its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Australia until the court case is resolved.
As part of the agreement, Apple will pay Samsung unspecified damages should Apple lose the court case, which is set for August 29. Apple's complaints with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia are the same as it has filed in the U.S., namely that it "slavishly copied" Apple's existing designs with the intent to confuse customers.

Samsung prepping 7" Super AMOLED Plus display for tablets with increased resolution
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsung
Samsung Mobile Display recently opened the new OLED display factory, and is now rumored to upgrade the resolution of its 7" Super AMOLED display prototype to 1024x768 pixels, for eventual tablet appearance.
While this is a far cry from the rumored iPad 3 double resolution of 1536x2048, let's not forget this will be the largest AMOLED display on a mobile device, so some tradeoffs are inevitable until Samsung preps the LITI production method, which will bring "Retina Display" resolutions to Super AMOLED screens as well.
There is also a speculation that the 7" tablet display will shift to Samsung's newer Super AMOLED Plus technology, instead of Super AMOLED, which will mean cheaper production,...

UK: Samsung Galaxy Tab Android 2.3 updates rolling out as we speak
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSamsungGoogleGALAXY TabAndroid 2.3
As expected, Samsung has started rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread updates for the Galaxy Tab in the UK. We’re not sure whether everyone can get it at the moment, but as far as we know, it requires Samsung’s Kies software for the update process to take place. That said, it’s safe to bet over-the-air updates will follow shortly.
You’re most likely already familiar with all the software changes included in Gingerbread; they are worth repeating, nonetheless. Among the things you should expect are improved power management capabilities, better Copy/Paste, support for SIP-based VoIP calls, downloads management and so on.
As usual, we advise you to backup your most important information like con...

Apple’s iPad 2 has been carrying the torch for the best quality display, but a recent comparison test suggests that it may be ousted by the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The test was conducted by DisplayMate, comparing the iPad 2 display to that of various other Android tablets in addition to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, including the Motorola XOOM, Acer Iconia Tab A500, and the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.
The attributes that DisplayMate focused on were color accuracy, viewing angles, saturation, brightness and contrast, screen reflections, backlight power consumption, and battery life of the display. The worst of the bunch was the Motorola XOOM, which scored poorly across the board. In the middle ...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1 LTE
Well, it may not have launched this past Thursday but the LTE-equipped Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 pre-orders look to begin shipping on Tuesday, the 26th. This could mean that the powerful Honeycomb tablet could also become available in Verizon stores later in the week.
The super thin Android tablet should be quite the hit now that it has the nation’s fastest network underneath the hood. Of course, you’re gonna have to pay to play but that may be a non-issue for some. We loved the WiFi versions of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and having LTE added in just makes it that much more appealing. While the tablet is still lacking the Android 3.2 update that the Motorola Xoom just received, we’d still pick Samsun...
