Although the Samsung Galaxy Tab pictured to the left might be the original that was launched in 2010, we just might be seeing a newer 7-inch Galaxy Tab launched by Samsung in the near future; at least that's what I'm hearing from my source in the know for all things Telstra. A more in-depth look a little further into the post. That isn't the only new refresh of an old tablet we're expected to see from the nations biggest (and arguably best) telco. My source also said that... (Keep reading..) |

Update: Sammyhub.com have just confirmed the LTE variant of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 exists. It will feature a faster processor and newer version of Android than the generic Galaxy Tab 8.9 I've just been handed some awesome information from a trusted source of mine with all the Telstra goods. Said information relates to tablets and LTE -- LTE being the technology used behind 4G mobile networks. My source said that Telstra are planning on launching the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 with LTE support. That's right, this will possibly... (Keep reading..) |

The court hearing between rivals Apple and Samsung was first heard on July 28th and was ordered by the Federal Court of Australia to resume on August 29th, that being next Monday of course. In the court documents that are freely available, Samsung was to supply Apple with 3 sample Galaxy Tab 10.1s for the purpose of review and analysis, and seeing as though Myer is already advertising a launch date of September 1st we can assume that those 3 sample devices were sent to the offices of Apple...

I have already touched on the news that Myer would be stocking the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, albeit quickly, however, at the time of posting that article I wasn't aware of the pricing at Myer; now I am thanks to junk mail catalogue I received in the mail. From what I can tell by the catalogue, Myer will be selling three variants of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 starting on September 1st. Each Galaxy Tab 10.1 will come with a 'bonus tablet sleeve', whatever that may... (Keep reading..) |

It has been reported over at Ausdroid that Optus will be launching the previously restrained Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 early September -- more specifically the first week of the month. This is aligned with Myer's catalogue which showed the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with a release date of early September. All we need now is for Samsung Australia to announce a media launch and we'll be good to go. But who is this going to annoy more; Apple, whom tried to stop Samsung selling the tablet in...

Months ago, HTC promised to bring Android 2.3 Gingerbread to the HTC Desire after months of speculation over whether or not it would happen due to the lack of internal storage on the device. The update was then released to everyone with a HTC Desire on August 1st via HTCdev -- or so we thought. It turns out this update is for nearly every HTC Desire bar the ones sold by Telstra. Typical. The Android 2.3 update has had a lot of the built-in apps... (Keep reading..) |

If you're the owner of HTC's 4.3-inch Desire HD and you purchased it from Vodafone, you'll be happy to know there's a 14MB maintenance update waiting for you to download and install. The update fixes 3 major issues that arose from the 2.3.3 update that happened during early June: Wi-Fi performance improvements GSM-only option Automatic Date / Time retrieval The GSM-only option is when you choose to make the phone use only GSM networks, which cuts back on battery usage and slows your internet speeds back to EDGE or GPRS on 2G/GSM. As for the... (Keep reading..) |

Ever wondered how the Nexus devices come about? I certainly have, and during today's Google + Motorola event they let loose a bit of information as to how the Nexus program works. What we already knew from Andy Rubin, is that there's a manufacturing partner, a chipset partner and a carrier partner (in the U.S.A. at least). Today we learnt that Google gives the manufacturer 9 months starting from Christmas to design, develop and mass-produce a device that will run the latest version of Android well; better yet, perfectly. If that's... (Keep reading..) |

Whether you love them or hate them, you've got to admit Samsung are pretty darn awesome. Not only have they been okay with users unlocking and destroying their Android devices since very early days -- unlike other manufacturers *glares at HTC and Motorola* -- they're also completely supportive of the unofficial Android development community. Not all that long ago they sent members of the CyanogenMod development team brand new Galaxy S II's for free. Yes, I know that it's also a marketing gimmick... (Keep reading..) |

I was extremely excited to hear about Minecraft coming to Android when it was announced way back February, and now the day has come where Minecraft is now readily available -- for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, that is. Today Mojang, the development studio behind Minecraft, launched Minecraft Pocket Edition on the Android Market for $6.99 (USD). The only problem is that's an exclusive for the Xperia Play. Mojang stated that Minecraft PE would indeed be coming to other Android device in the future, but for now... (Keep reading..) |
