| Amazon offering great savings on Sprint Android smartphones Posted: 06 Aug 2012 01:43 PM PDT
AmazonWireless just dropped us a line to let us know that they are offering some pretty compelling deals on Sprint smartphones. If you're thinking of making the jump to the Now Network, you might want to check out some of these deals. While some of the models are a little older, their ultra-low one penny price tags are hard to pass up. Keep in mind that new customers might be eligible for lower pricing than existing subscribers. If you'll excuse us, we're going to grab a Galaxy S III for half the normal price.

| Snugg Galaxy Tab Case Cover review Posted: 06 Aug 2012 11:16 AM PDT
You've spent a couple hundred bucks on your Samsung Galaxy Tab and now you're afraid you might scratch it or drop it. What to do? Spend $30 and protect that thing with style - put it in a Snugg Case Cover.
We've spent some time with both the 8.9-inch and 10.1-inch version of the Snugg Galaxy Tab 10 1 Case Cover and Flip Stand and find they're a great, practical fit. Not only are you protecting your investment, but you're also adding some practicality to it at the same time. Thanks to a couple of well placed folds, the Case Cover doubles as an impromptu stand. Want to watch movies or spend some time hands free? Bingo. We appreciate that the cases are designed specifically for each model and have cutouts in all the right spots. This ensures that neither your camera nor speakers are obscured. A few magnets inside the case make it so that the case stays closed when it needs to, but are not overly strong. Flip it open and fold back the cover flush and you'll have a nice elastic band for your hand. Ideal for those times when you need a solid grip without covering the screen, this is also a nice way to shift the weight of the tablet.
You can pick up a Snugg case from the manufacturer where they also have a number of other tablet related accessories. Like most items we review here, you'll also find them on Amazon where the ($29.99) price is identical. If you don't have a Galaxy Tab 8.9 or Galaxy Tab 10.1 then perhaps you'll find something else among the dozens of products.

| Samsung inches closer for Jelly Bean on product line, rumor suggest Posted: 06 Aug 2012 08:58 AM PDT
Samsung is close to releasing Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for their Galaxy S III, having recently starting on a version ready for public consumption. According to SamMobile, Samsung recently completed testing of the firmware and is currently waiting on Google's approval. As for the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note, things look to be moving along on that front as well. Interestingly enough, SamMobile posits that Samsung may decide at the last moment to not release Android 4.1 to these models. If that were to be the case they indicate that Samsung would issue a value pack update. For what it's worth, testing is said to be fine and there's no reason to suggest Samsung will not proceed with the update.

| HTC could be prepping a Galaxy Note competitor for Verizon Posted: 06 Aug 2012 07:56 AM PDT
The rumor mill has been in full swing these last few days as word of an HTC phone/tablet hybrid device could be in the works for this fall. The word around campfire is that it's a smartphone with a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1794 x 1080 pixels According to DigitTimes, said device could be ready to roll out between September and October. While we might initially dismiss the news outlet as being often incorrect, it does match other rumors making their rounds. Benchmarks for an HTC 6435LVW surfaced recently which showed Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor, and an Adreno 320 GPU. What's more, these early numbers had multiple references to Verizon. Considering these line up nicely with the DigiTimes report, we're pretty sure this one is legit. Do you think HTC could have better luck than LG with a Galaxy Note competitor? Is this Samsung's race to lose? EDIT: Article cleaned up to remove references to HTC One X+ HTC could be prepping a Galaxy Note competitor for Verizon was written by the awesome dudes at AndroidGuys.

| Samsung announces redesigned Galaxy Note 10.1 Posted: 06 Aug 2012 07:30 AM PDT
It might have taken more than half of the year to come to fruition, but Samsung today announced the redesigned Galaxy Note 10.1. Details for the tablet include a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 10.1-inch display, 5-megapixel main camera, and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera. Since we're talking "Note" here then you might already know this guy has the S Pen capability for note-taking, markups, drawing, and more. Rounding on the specs, the Galaxy Note comes in three storage capacities, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, each with expandable microSD card slots. Pricing has not been announced for the Galaxy Note yet however Samsung indicates there are three different versions of the tablet on the horizon. Look for a WiFi-only version, a WiFi-and-3G HSPA-Plus model, and a WiFi-and-LTE version launching later this year. We'll be curious to see what next week's New York event is all about or whether or not Samsung has anything left to share. Perhaps we'll get some U.S. pricing and availability details?
Samsung Inspires a Culture of Active Content Creation, Productivity, and Learning Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 becomes available globally starting in August SEOUL, August 6, 2012 - Samsung announced today the launch of GALAXY Note 10.1, an extension of the GALAXY Note category. GALAXY Note 10.1 is outfitted with the functionality and precision of a pen and paper on a 10.1-inch large display, providing endless possibilities to elevate a user's creativity, productivity and learning abilities. Featuring an intuitive user experience and armed with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 2GB RAM for enhanced performance, GALAXY Note 10.1 is designed to simplify idea capture, information access, and multi-tasking, making each easier and faster. GALAXY Note 10.1 allows users to express their ideas naturally and efficiently. "GALAXY Note 10.1 further demonstrates Samsung's dedication to delivering products that offer a complete mobile experience for creating personalized and expressive content," said JK Shin, President of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. "History has shown that taking notes, capturing ideas immediately, and sketching to realize them is the most personal and natural way to be more productive and creative. The advanced technology and features included in GALAXY Note 10.1 give users the power to produce, create and customize communications." GALAXY Note 10.1 incorporates key intuitive features and capabilities such as side-by-side multitasking with the device's Multiscreen feature on a 10.1-inch large screen; Samsung's unique S Pen experiences including a variety of S Note templates and productive tools (Shape Match and Formula Match); Learning Hub for accessing educational curricula (Learning Hub is currently available in Korea, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, China and Singapore, and will gradually roll-out to other global markets) and Adobe's premium creative application Photoshop® Touch. True Multi-Tasking with Multiscreen Feature With GALAXY Note 10.1's Multiscreen feature, users can effortlessly utilize two different applications side-by-side simultaneously for true and easy multitasking. Users can view Web pages or videos, or launch other applications while writing or sketching ideas with the S Pen on the other half of the screen. Furthermore, users can freely capture and crop images, and paste them onto the other screen to make personal notes and enhance their creativity, productivity and learning abilities. The Multiscreen feature increases productivity and efficiency while users are enjoying multimedia content. GALAXY Note 10.1 brings a new culture of creation through the user's own notes, and enables an entirely new experience to improve productivity and enjoyment. S Pen & S Note for Personalized and Organized Note-taking Featuring its advanced 6.5mm S Pen, GALAXY Note 10.1 is optimized for the creation of personalized and expressive content in the most natural and intuitive way.

The S Pen is embedded directly in the device and, when removed, automatically launches specially-optimized applications, including S Note, S Planner, Crayon physics, Adobe® Photoshop® Touch, and Polaris Office. Alternatively, users can easily set their preferred application to be launched instantly. For example, S Note can be launched instantly when a user takes the S Pen out from the device. Users can also tap the screen twice while pressing the S Pen button for quick S Note access via the S Note-dedicated widget, which can be easily moved anywhere on the display, never hindering or obstructing creativity or productivity. The S Note is a unique tool that gives users the ability to combine notes and sketches with other digital content in ready-to-use templates. The Shape Match and Formula Match features help correct and digitize geometric shapes and solve numeric formulas hand-written with the S Pen. The S Note is also integrated with knowledge search engines so that users can search for content, obtain information, and easily drag and drop content onto S Notes without having to switch between screens. Exclusively pre-loaded on GALAXY Note 10.1, the Adobe® Photoshop® Touch application allows users to professionally edit photos with the ease and precision of the S Pen. Active Learning Experience GALAXY Note 10.1 is an ideal learning tool that allows users to take notes directly on an eTextbook while watching lectures, or research the Web while writing an essay at the same time.
