| American Airlines arming 17,000 flight attendants with Galaxy Note Posted: 19 Sep 2012 09:51 AM PDT
AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANTS TO MAKE TRAVEL MORE PERSONALIZED WITH INNOVATIVE INFLIGHT TABLET PROGRAM American's Tablet Program Planned to be the First of its Kind for any Airline FORT WORTH, Texas – A more personalized inflight experience will become a reality later this year as American Airlines flight attendants begin using the sleek, new Samsung Galaxy Note® as part of American's innovative tablet program designed to put invaluable customer data at their fingertips. "This is a huge step towards a new, modern American Airlines, as our tablet program is the first of its kind in the airline industry, where our flight attendants will have the most up-to-date customer information in the palms of their hands, allowing them to better serve our customers from boarding to deplaning," said Lauri Curtis, American's Vice President – Flight Service. "By giving a device to all of our active flight attendants we are better enabling our people to deliver an exceptional customer experience." The new devices will be a strategic tool for flight attendants giving them greater access to more information about the customers onboard their flight. To better serve customers, American's flight attendants can use the device to:
American intends to use the devices for transactions onboard the aircraft such as purchasing food inflight, pending FAA approval. The Samsung Galaxy Note is a SAFE™-designated device that offers a full portfolio of enterprise-ready features and capabilities. Additional functionality such as the addition of the flight attendant manual and more will continue to roll out over time. Adding the manual to the device will eventually eliminate the need for flight attendants to carry paper manuals – a more fuel efficient and environmentally-friendly approach. American began piloting the program this spring. Beginning later this year through mid-2013, American will roll out the selected devices to all of its approximately 17,000 flight attendants. The Samsung Galaxy Note was chosen based on flight attendant feedback after months of testing different devices. Through testing, the Samsung Galaxy Note was ultimately selected because of its thin, portable design, easy to handle profile, SAFE security features, and 5.3-inch HD display that provide wide-screen readability and the functionality necessary to equip flight attendants with the ability to better know their customers and deliver the service they value. "We're pioneering important new technologies as part of our continued effort to build a new American and return to industry leadership," said Maya Leibman, American's Chief Information Officer. "As we continue to evolve into a more modern airline and explore ways to enhance the travel experience, we are giving our people the tools they need to offer our loyal customers ease of travel both in the air and on the ground." Furthering its efforts to advance airspace modernization, American Airlines announced earlier this month that it is expanding its Electronic Flight Bag program for pilots after becoming the first commercial carrier to receive FAA approval to use a tablet device in the cockpit during all phases of flight. "From inflight entertainment to customer management, American Airlines is deploying cutting-edge technology to enhance the customer experience," said Timothy Wagner, Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Sales for Samsung Mobile. "By pairing the power and performance of Samsung devices with the capabilities of their inflight teams, American is truly becoming the airline of the future – today."

| HTC offering up to $300 credit with new Trade-Up program Posted: 19 Sep 2012 07:53 AM PDT
We tried two different phone models just to see what we might be looking at. On the lower end of things, the HTC EVO 4G (Sprint) is worth $20 in good working condition. As for a 32GB Samsung Galaxy S III from T-Mobile, well that would bring in $315. Yeah, right? We thought this thing maxed at $300. Nevertheless, quotes are held for 30 days from the time you enter in your details.

Let’s cover their super slim Grand Era U985!

It also has 3D acceleration capacity, an 8M-pixel BSI AF HD camera and a 4.5-inch HD retinal screen at a resolution of 1280×720. It is ultra-thin, with an average thickness of 8.6mm and a thickness of 7.9mm at its slimmest section (though it’s still not the world’s thinnest quad-core LTE phone; the Optimus G is 8.45 mm thick). The Grand Era also adheres to an expert-class hardware and software safety protection standard called “Palm Manager," which was independently developed by ZTE. This phone is coming to China very soon and might be a great edition to a U.S. carrier. Maybe Big Red? or AT&T? Let us know what you think about this phone in the comments below!

| Galaxy Note II announced for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular Posted: 19 Sep 2012 06:05 AM PDT Samsung today announced that the Galaxy Note II will, in fact, be coming to the United States to all four major carriers. That means you’ll soon see the 5.5-inch phone and tablet hybrid device at AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. What’s more, U.S. Cellular is already getting in on the love, promising the quad-core beast on their network. Pricing and exact timing has yet to be finalized however we should hear more from each respective carrier before too long. If we were to wager a guess, it should be around October 21-ish… In the meanwhile, why not check out the Samsung Galaxy Note II gallery? Samsung Mobile Introducing Galaxy Note® II in Time for the Holidays with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular Redesigned S Pen and apps, sharing capabilities and quad-core Exynos™ processor enhances productivity, creativity and performance DALLAS — September 19, 2012 — Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile) – the No.1 mobile phone provider in the United States1 – will launch the Galaxy Note® II in the U.S. with five major carriers by mid-November. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers. Optimized for the fastest 4G LTE* and HSPA+ 42 networks, the Galaxy Note II combines some of the best capabilities of the Galaxy S® III with an enhanced S Pen and new S Pen apps, the processing power to multitask like a PC, with a larger screen yet in a thinner, lighter form factor. The Galaxy Note II enables consumers that want a larger format device to create, collaborate and now share original content faster and easier than before. "The original Galaxy Note® created a new category of smartphones by combining the best of a smartphone with the best of a tablet. In less than a year, Samsung sold more than 10 million globally demonstrating the category is taking hold," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "The new Galaxy Note II is a significant leap forward for the category." Power & Performance Galaxy Note II marks the U.S. debut of Samsung's Exynos™ 1.6 GHz quad-core processor optimized for LTE networks. It has 2GB of internal RAM; and comes with 16 GB of onboard file storage and supports up to 64GB of additional memory with a microSD® card. Collectively, these deliver easy multitasking, lightning fast screen transitions, powerful browser performance and minimal app load time. The Galaxy Note II is the first Samsung smartphone to launch with Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean, which brings stunning graphical capabilities and an upgraded Google Now service, including new features such as contextual search. It is also a SAFE-designated device, which means it has additional security features to safe-guard sensitive data and communications. The Galaxy Note II has a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED™ touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio, the standard for true HD video viewing, and comes with a 3,100 mAh battery, which is 24 percent larger than the original Galaxy Note. Despite the much larger battery, the device weighs slightly less than the original Galaxy Note. As a result of a narrower bezel on all four sides of the screen, the screen is larger but the overall device is narrower. The Galaxy Note II is available in Marble White and Titanium Gray color options. Create & Collaborate At the heart of the Galaxy Note II and the ability to create and collaborate is the S Pen™, which has been ergonomically redesigned to provide a more precise and natural writing and drawingexperience. The new S Pen can sense 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, four times more than the original S Pen. When the new S Pen is removed from the Galaxy Note II, it automatically launches the S Pen menu, which opens a new home screen that allows one-touch access to most used S-Pen applications. Keeping track of the S Pen is simple now too because a visual and audible alarm appears if the user forgets to put the S Pen back inside the device. The S Pen's advanced features provide the ability to capture ideas, inspiration and information instantly, and to combine handwriting with any digital content directly on the screen, such as adding new calendar appointments by writing the event details directly on the day of the week, signing or adding handwritten notes to an email. Selecting and cropping text, images or other content on the Galaxy Note II with the S Pen is very similar to a traditional "click-mouse" experience. When the S Pen's side button is pressed down, the S Pen recognizes that users want to clip or edit the selected content on the screen. Users can draw precise lines around the content to be cropped out, highlighted or copied into another application. Key applications of the S Pen include:
Multitask & Share The Galaxy Note II takes multitasking to the next level by enabling consumers to launch multiple windows on one screen, including high definition video. Multitasking features include:
The Galaxy Note II contains many of the popular, real-life content sharing features introduced in June on the Samsung Galaxy S™ III including:

As many of you know, LG re-introduced the Optimus G yesterday and made it known that it would it hit international markets come October. With us here in the United States anxiously awaiting our release, we begin to wonder how and where it will make its debut. Could it be a Verizon follow-up in the tradition of Revolution or Spectrum? Sure. Could it also be a stock Android 4.1 experience called the Optimus Nexus? Yeah, that sounds possible, too. Considering the beefy hardware and latest build of Android, the Optimus G is the stuff that us nerds love. With the year end launch expected, the timing is right for the annual Nexus line. Our friends over at AndroidAndMe have heard from a pair of reliable sources that LG is expected produce a Nexus smartphone this year. Given the recent rumor of an Optimus Nexus, this would be the perfect device for Android faithful. What with its quad-core processor, LTE support, 2GB RAM, and 32GB storage, it’s among the smartphone elite. With rumors of up to five Nexus partners, LG’s got something special here and could really help their U.S. image. As a reminder, LG does have an event scheduled for today where they may provide some new details for the Optimus G. We would not expect to hear any Nexus stuff today, but it could give us a few more tea leaves worth reading. Could LG Optimus G become the Optimus Nexus?
