Samsung launching the ‘Androidbook’ in coming months? Google also working on TV and SmartWatch

Posted: 14 May 2013 12:08 PM PDT

Earlier in April, DigiTimes reported that Google will introduce an Android based notebook later this year, also Intel recently said that there will be a $200 Android notebooks as well. It seems the “Androidbook” is coming to real soon reality as KGI Securities analyst Mingchi Kuo is spilling some beans about Google’s upcoming Android devices.

He said that upgraded version of Nexus 7 is coming out at the upcoming Google I/O event, but along with that, he said that  an Android powered notebook, a new TV product, and a Google SmartWatch is on the list of the products Google will be releasing later this year. Have a look on what he said about the Androidbook:

Android Book – Android Book won't be introduced at the upcoming Google I/O as development of Android 5.0, which is targeted at NB, is incomplete. We think Android Book featuring Android.4x will be rolled out in the coming 3-4 months because some brand vendors, like Samsung (Korea), want to move first. But shipments will be limited as the current Android OS isn't well supported for laptops.

Also Google is working on an Apple TV competitor, which will be coming out a little late because of the transfer to a NVIDIA Tegra chip from TI OMAP.About the Google SmartWatch, it is coming soon and it will work alongside the recently introduced Google Glass.

What we know is Google have a lot of good stuff for their customers, so I guess we are looking forward to an amazing year by Google. What are your thoughts about it? Do you think Google should step in and focus on other things like TV and notebook? Tell us about it in the comment box below.

Posted: 14 May 2013 10:57 AM PDT

Here’s what we know: There’s probably a white LG Nexus 4 being released soon. It showed off in some pictures earlier in the week, and got interests piqued. Now, a video has been released that gives us a closer look at the supposed device. Have a look below:

The device made an appearance at a Dubai conference as a demo device, meaning we probably shouldn’t expect a retail release in the near future.

Apple sets sights on Samsung Galaxy S4 in patent infringement lawsuit

Posted: 14 May 2013 10:43 AM PDT

Apple currently has a pretty massive “anti-Android” lawsuit going, and they’re looking to add yet another device to their list of culprits. Apple says that:

Samsung recently released its newest smartphone, the Galaxy S4, which began shipping in late April 2013. Based on Apple's analysis of the Galaxy S4, Apple has concluded that it is an infringing device and accordingly intends to move for leave to add the Galaxy S4 as an infringing product. Upon the grant of such motion, Apple will eliminate (without prejudice) one of the Accused Products named herein, so that it will continue to accuse only 22 products of infringement at this stage of the litigation.

They say that they have ‘concluded that it [Galaxy S4] is an infringing device”, and plans to add it to the list of devices that includes the Galaxy Note / Note 2, Note 10.1, Galaxy S2, and Galaxy S3. This isn’t the first time Apple has aimed directly at Samsung for supposed copyright infringement, and this set of hearings is set to start next Spring.

All 4 major US carriers now part of ‘It Can Wait’ texting campaign

Posted: 14 May 2013 08:25 AM PDT

We all know how dangerous texting and driving is (I’m looking at you, corporate bigwig in the fast lane in 8AM traffic). Now, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile have joined AT&T in their “It Can Wait” anti-texting-and-driving campaign. The new co-operative initiative, something practically unheard of in the mobile world, will launch on May 20th with a co-branded campaign. The platform will allow users to hear real stories of people who’s lives have been impacted by the ramifications of texting and driving. We’re looking at some pretty heart wrenching stories, such as a 5-year-old boy who was paralyzed from the waist down after being involved in an accident with a young woman who was texting while driving in 2010.

According to a study commissioned by AT&T, up to 49% of people have admitted to texting during their commutes, compared to a lower 43% of teenagers admitting it. Remember, folks, the consequences of texting and driving are very real, and very dangerous.

The device itself will come preloaded with  Sonic 4 Episode II, and Expendable: Rearmed. In the Play Sotre, you’ll see Dead Trigger and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
