Samsung breakthrough could turn your window pane into a big ol' LED
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Samsung's quest for transparency won't end with laptops, apparently. Today, the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology announced that its engineers have successfully created "single crystalline Gallium Nitride on amorphous glass substrates" -- an achievement that would allow the manufacturer to produce jumbo-sized LEDs from normal glass, including window panes. Samsung says this scaled-up approach will allow them to lower production costs relative to most LED manufacturers, which rely on sapphire, rather than glass substrates. And, whereas most Gallium Nitride (GaN) LEDs on the market measure just two inches in size, Sammy's technique could result in displays about 400 times larger. "In te...

Apple iPhone 4S gets stacked with an iPhone 4, Samsung could sue on the antenna design
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleiPhone 4iPhone 4s
A Vietnamese newspaper has gotten a hold on the iPhone 4S, and has snapped a few photos of it stacked up with an iPhone 4 to illustrate the design differences. They are subtle, but changes in the outer chassis do exist, and will most likely lead to new cases needed for the iPhone 4S, since the dimensions of the new iPhone are slightly different than those of the fourth generation.
The biggest change besides the slightly taller chassis of the iPhone 4S (4.54" vs 4.5") are the notches in the steel band surrounding the iPhone 4S. Apple's engineers have redesigned the reception area after the "you're holding it wrong" drama last year, and have moved the notch from near the headphone jack on top ...

Samsung Galaxy Note hitting Australia in early 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
U.S. won’t be the only developed country that won’t get Samsung Galaxy Note this year, with Samsung Australia saying that their smartphone-tablet will be launched “by early 2012.” The information comes from PC World, which quoted the company’s spokesperson saying: “Essentially, we do want to bring it to Australia but it won’t be until next year.”
Of course, if you want it badly this year, you could import it from Europe where Sammy’s device is expected to start selling at some point in November. Actually that’s the launch date for the United Kingdom, but it’s safe to bet other EU countries will get “their Notes” in the same period.

At CTIA last March, AT&T stole the show by announcing its intent to purchase T-Mobile US. This time around the news is a bit more modest, but the company is still hoping to give us a bit of a shock by introducing a litany of new handsets right on time for the holiday season. The carrier promised the release of 12 Android devices throughout the course of the year, and this week's announcement pushes the 2011 running count to 19. Not too shabby.

Samsung Galaxy Note benchmarked, fast and furious
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
When facts talk, you know what walks, so the benchmark tests of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note Incredible Hulk of a phone are the true tests of its pimped up dual-core 1.4GHz Exynos SoC.
The Samsung Galaxy S II and its versions provide the best performance/battery life ratios in the Android world, as it manages to blow past the dual-core competition, and still have decent time between charges.
In this case, the Galaxy Note should fare even better in benchmarks, provided that the CPU has been overclocked with a 0.2GHz step. A set of those synthetic measurements of mobile silicon capabilities proves exactly that - the Samsung Galaxy Note manages to beat not only the HTC Sensation, based on Q...

If our “iPhone 4S vs competition” chart is not good enough for you, maybe you’ll like Samsung’s own chart. They’ve prepared a table that compares their flagship smartphone, Galaxy S II, with the brand new iPhone 4S. Needless to say, the Korean company wants to show us their product is superior in many aspects.
For instance, the Galaxy S II has a bigger screen – the AT&T version has 42% more screen area (length x width), while Sprint’s and T-Mobile’s Galaxy S II will have 58% more screen area than the iPhone 4S.
When it comes to connectivity, the Galaxy S II’s HSPA+ network speeds are at least 50% faster with AT&T 21Mbps and three times faster with T-Mobile’s 42 MBPS than the iPhone 4S’s 14Mb...
