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..) |

If you've ever wanted to know exactly what the thickness difference is between the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the older-ish Galaxy Tab 10.1v, then check out the image provided -- larger version available after the break. The relative difference between the two is 2.3mm, with the 10.1 measuring in at 8.6mm -- thinner than the Apple iPad 2 by 0.2mm -- and the 10.1v measuring in at 10.9mm. As you can see by the image(s) provided, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has gone through a complete redesign from the 10.1v, which... (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...

If you've kept up with my Android device buying endeavours since the early days on Ausdroid, or earlier still on WhirlPool, you'll know that I've always had a soft spot for Sony Ericsson devices. I mean, how could you not? They look far more premium than most other devices out on the market and they have a premium feel; a premium name. The downside to earlier (and some current) Sony Ericsson devices is that they were slow, terrible, failures, crap and useless; put simply, the Xperia X10. The X10 sucked... (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..) |
| As I've found out in the last year and a half of reporting on Android device news, it gets to this time of year (August to October) when all the rumours of the next generation phones -- and now tablets -- start to find their way onto the internet. Last year it was all about dual-core and being able to shoot video in full 1080p. This year, it seems, is all about which phones and tablets will have the highest resolution displays. In the recent weeks we've seen multiple devices -- their specs at least -- leaked onto the Interweb.. Samsung with... (Keep reading..) |
