Orange UK's Coming Soon page now lists HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Mini
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungHTCOrangeGALAXY miniSensation 4G
Orange UK will soon start selling two Android smartphones. The first of the two is the HTC Sensation, which we know as the monster phone thanks to its specs that include a dual-core processor, 4.3-inch qHD capacitive touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, an array of sensors and so on. You name it, this baby has it. It’s one of the best smartphones announced to date, if not the best. We’ve no doubts Orange will offer the Sensation for free to anyone willing to commit on a plan starting at 30 or 35 GBP a month.
Then there’s the Samsung Galaxy Mini, which for many will be the first smartphone they ever bought. It should cost next to nothing, even free with some not-that-...

Apple files another lawsuit against Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Apple has fired-off another lawsuit against Samsung, once again claiming the manufacturer copied the iPhone and iPad designs for its own products.
In the latest round of the tit-for-tat legal battle, Apple has taken the fight to Samsung's home turf by filing suit at the Seoul District Court in South Korea.
The writ reiterates that it is "no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging.
"This kind of blatant copying is wrong, and we need to protect Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas," it read.
Escalating war
The disagreement focuses on Samsung's range of Gal...

Samsung Epic 4G to get the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update? Leaked firmware suggests so
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungEpic 4G
On the heels of the recently leaked Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update for Samsung Captivate, SamFirmware managed to grab the same software for another member of the Galaxy S family – Sprint’s Epic 4G, which (if you recall) rocks a full side-sliding QWERTY keyboard in addition to the 4-inch touchscreen.
As you can imagine, this isn’t the official yet. Rather the process of updating will require some technical skills and there’s also a risk of your device being bricked if something goes wrong. In any case, you can’t hold IntoMobile responsible… A short disclaimer I had to add.

US consumers are getting their fill of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 as we speak, but as we’ve reported earlier in the month, the European launch of the Honeycomb flavored tablet has been pushed back to August due to alleged Android 3.1 issues.

Samsung Galaxy S II Launching Into Space on July 15th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Most phones don’t get the chance to say they’ve been outside our atmosphere, but the Samsung Galaxy S II isn’t most phones. Samsung’s latest super phone is taking a very special trip outside our layer of the atmosphere and chilling out 98,000 feet above sea level in the layer called the stratosphere. This trip is a special promotional stunt by Samsung and will take place July 14th. This same stunt was performed with the Nexus S, and it’s meant to show how strong these phones are.
This whole thing happens with the help of a specially made weather balloon that has been made to reach that height. Samsung has tested this weather balloon many times, so it’s good to know that they do this before l...

Samsung Looses Battle to Pull LG Commercials
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungLG
When it comes to passive vs. active 3D technology, the two main companies butting heads are Samsung and LG Electronics. Recently, Samsung has been filing cease and desist orders to LG for their passive 3D advertisements. Samsung claims that the ads are “misleading and deceptive.” The commercials are a series of four commercials that each talks about one specific benefit that passive technology has over active technology. Samsung has been trying for months to get the advertisements pulled, but recently, the court stated LG is not in any wrong and gave the commercials the seal of approval. This victory is another step towards incorporating passive 3D technology into the household instead of th...

Judge denies Samsung access to unreleased iPad, iPhone
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
According to FOSS Patents, a judge in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California has ruled that Samsung cannot view Apple’s next-generation iPad and iPhone products. The whole debacle started when Apple began accusing Samsung of creating copycat products — as such, it asked the Korean firm to produce its next-generation devices inside a court room. The court took Apple’s side and Samsung was forced to show Apple the Galaxy S II, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Infuse 4G, and DROID Charge. In an effort to prepare for further legal battles with Apple, Samsung wanted the same access to Apple’s next generation products. For now, that won’t happen. The reasoning behind the ju...

Samsung denies meeting with Apple to discuss patent dispute
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Samsung on Monday denied Apple attorney Harold McElhinny’s claim that the two companies are currently holding high-level talks in an attempt to settle ongoing patent disputes. U.S. district judge Lucy Koh told the companies last week to meet and discuss possible amicable solutions to their disputes. McElhinny responded by saying executives from the two companies are “meeting and talking,” but Samsung is singing a different tune. “We are unaware of any meetings or discussions between the two sides over this matter,” a Samsung spokesperson said in a statement. It’s odd that Apple’s counsel would falsely claim the two companies are holding meetings if they are not, but we’re sure judge Koh will...

Samsung Smart TV platform installed base passes two million, adds BBC News app
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
While finding out precisely how many people are actually using its apps (over 100 million downloaded) is still tricky, Samsung has proudly announced there are over two million units out there packing its Smart TV platform. That count includes over 730,000 units in North America alone, and according to the company, outpaces the initial uptake of LED lit TVs. Of course, having a Samsung Apps store is nothing without apps to put in it, and over the UK there's a new BBC News app that is currently available exclusively on the Samsung platform.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 headed to Sprint on June 24
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Sprint has just announced that it will be carrying the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 beginning June 24. The carrier will be stocking non-3G, Wi-Fi-only versions, much like the way it carries non-3G versions of the Motorola XOOM and BlackBerry PlayBook. The carrier says that the 16GB edition of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available for $499.99. It is the same version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that hit retail shelves last weekend. The tablet will be available online, in-store, and through telesales.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 hitting Sprint on June 24th, bring your own 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Samsung wouldn't get any more specific than "mid-summer" when it revealed that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 would be coming to Sprint, but it turns out you don't have to wait much longer to pick one via the carrier. Sprint has just announced that the WiFi-only tablet will be available through its website and other channels starting June 24th for the same $499.99 it demands elsewhere (though you'll have to wait until July 24th to get one at a Sprint retail store). It also not-so-subtly notes that the tablet is "even more amazing" when paired with an Overdrive Pro 4G mobile hotspot or Novatel MiFi -- sold separately, of course. Full press release is after the break.

Samsung NC215S solar netbook will see the light of day in Russia
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungNC215S
Anyone who's ever attempted to use a laptop on a sunny summer day can surely tell you that direct sunlight is not your friend -- that's why we like to ride out the season in our dark basement apartments. If only there were a way to harness the sun's rays for good, instead of evil -- like powering your PC while you're off doing whatever it is that normal people do when it's sunny outside. First introduced for the African market, Samsung's NC215S will be hitting Russia in early August for 13,999 rubles ($479). The netbook sports a lid almost entirely monopolized by a solar panel, which contributes to an overall estimated battery life of 14.5 hours. The NC215S packs a 1.6GHz N570 Intel Atom dua...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
The Samsung Galaxy S II is getting closer and closer to U.S. soil. On Monday, a leaked screenshot revealed that Canada's Bell will be launching the sizzling hot handset on July 14th. The screenshot did not divulge any news on pricing. This discovery follows by a few days a tweet from fellow Canadian carrier SaskTel saying that the highly anticipated device will be available from the mobile operator some time next month.
Last month, online retailer Wireless Xcessories Group had listed on its web site a silicon case on sale for the Samsung Galaxy S II. As we reported, the listing leaked out the news that the Galaxy S II will be rolled out to three of the top four carriers in the U.S. as the V...
