New Sprint roadmap says Samsung Conquer 4G pushed for August, and a mystery Motorola XT603 slated for October
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaConquer 4G
A Sprint roadmap with date stamp from Friday is making the rounds, and it reveals quite a bit about the nation's third largest carrier handset release dates in the next month or two.
We have the Samsung Conquer 4G, which was supposed to appear by the end of July seemingly pushed for 8/21. This handset is supposed to take the place of the Sanyo Zio. This is a low-end Gingerbread handset with a 3.5" display, 1GHz chipset and 3MP camera on the back, which should be coming pretty cheap on contract.
Further down the list we spot a few smartphones of RIM's new crop. The BlackBerry Bold 9930 and Torch 9850 (aka BlackBerry Volt), are supposed to hit shelves 8/21 as well, whereas the run-of-the-mill ...

Virgin Mobile Canada is issuing an over-the-air update for the HTC Sensation. As far as we know, HTC’s superphone is shipping with the Gingerbread on board, so this gotta be some bug fixing update.

Here’s what Virgin Mobile Canada said on its Facebook page:

LTE Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 pre-orders shipping on the 26th
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...

We all know a new wave of Windows Phone 7 handsets are coming, and in fact we have seen the Samsung i937 shown off already. We do not however know how soon, and most of us I expect believe it will be September at the earliest.
In the mean time carriers will have to sell existing handsets, and we are now recieving reports that stocks of the Samsung Omnia 7, the most attractive Windows Phone 7 handset internationally, are running low. Samsung’s own website shows O2, Carphone warehouse, 3, Orange and Phones4U are already out of stock, and our tipster tells us, contrary to Samsung’s chart, T-Mobile UK is also saying they have run out of Omnia 7s and will not be ordering any more.

Samsung Galaxy S II coming next month
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
While we were just wondering what’s the holdup with the Samsung Galaxy S II in the United States, a Samsung executive said that we could be seeing this superphone as early as next month.
“We expect to release the Galaxy S2 in the U.S. market sometime in August,” said Shin Jong-kyun, president of Samsung’s mobile business and digital imaging, according to Yonhap.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is expected to follow its predecessor by coming to all four major carriers and we’ve even seen the brand names leak. Samsung might be taking a bit more time with these to add some more features or to ensure that it can use its own dual-core chip exclusively.

Two Lenses Will Fix Compact Cameras' Depth of Field, Proposes Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSamsung
Rather than be used for 3D photos and video, Samsung's proposing that this dual-lens camera patent could actually help compact cameras capture a shallower depth of field, where focused objects stand out more, and backgrounds are blurred.
It'd work like two cameras, with one lens taking a shot at a lower resolution, and the second lens taking a shot at a higher resolution. When conjoined instantly by the camera's processor, the single image should make the object focused on pop out more, with the background blurred, in the typical "open" aperture style.
While it's only a patent application, it will be fascinating to see if Samsung goes ahead with their idea—and if they can resist the temptati...

Samsung denies granting Anymode Smart Case approval amid Apple copy accusations
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Samsung has denied certifying the contentious Anymode folding Smart Case for the Galaxy Tab, and has had the Apple-alike product pulled from the retailer’s site. According to Samsung, Anymode was not granted “Designed for Samsung Mobile” certification, and the companies are now working “to address this oversight.”
In the meantime, the case has been taken offline, and Samsung is keen to point out that none were actually sold. “As a general practice,” the company’s official blog states, “Samsung Electronics reviews and approves all accessories produced by partners.”
Anymode’s Smart Case for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 made headlines yesterday given its distinct similarity to the Apple Smart Cover offe...

Samsung claims proof its chip plants don't cause cancer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Samsung has disclosed that a study it commissioned by a US environmental and health care consultancy found no relationship between exposure to carcinogenic chemicals used in its semiconductor factories and the incidence of cancer in its workers. The findings reflect the results of two previous studies conducted by the Korean government. Despite claiming no link between the two, the company is considering offering financial help to some of its former employees who have been stricken with disease.
Samsung talked to a third party, ENVIRON, to investigate the situation. Because the facilities in question have been converted from actually making chips to testing chips and producing LEDs, the cons...

Apple to ditch Samsung for iPad 3 chip?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungAppleiPad 3
With all the legal wrangles going on between Apple and Samsung (you show me yours and I'll show you mine) it's easy to forget that the two tech giants are BFFs when it comes to chip production - Samsung manufactured the A4 chip that sits in your iPhone 4 and the A5 that's housed in your iPad 2.
Or at least they were - a report by Reuters suggests that Apple may be looking elsewhere when it comes to the production of its next-gen SoC, the A6.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry, is said to be in the middle of a trial to see if it has the minerals for large scale A6 production - a task that will kick off before the ...
