Here’s a teaser for you of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy Tab will compete with the Apple iPad, and will come some pretty neat features not seen on the iPad.

The Galaxy Tab will have a 7″ screen and a set of capacitive buttons. It will run on Android 2.2, and that will ensure you the “full web experience” seen in the video. And by the full experience, they mean Adobe’s Flash. HD video playback, e-reader functionality, Swype keyboard and a rear camera with LED flash should also be features of the Galaxy Tab.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab will be announced on September 2nd, at the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany.

Sounds pretty neat, doesn’t it?


Samsung Galaxy S - White

Samsung announced yesterday announced a Snow White version of their Samsung Galaxy S. The phone has a white back cover, a silver bezel and a black frame around the screen. The previously leaked all white phone didn’t happen, but I think this one looks better.

Maybe we’ll see an international launch for the white color in the near future?

Check out this screen comparison pic from Cnet Asia. On left we have a Desire with Sony’s new Super LCD screen, and on right a Desire with the ‘old’ AMOLED screen. In this test I’d say the AMOLED is better.

Check out this browser comparison video between the new BlackBerry Torch 9800, iPhone 4 and Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S). The Torch 9800 runs on Blackberrys new OS 6, the iPhone 4 on iOS 4 and the Samsung Captivate on Google’s Android OS.


Samsung E2370 - Black

The Samsung E2370 arrived today at my workplace. This new rugged phone from Samsung is IP54 certified and comes with a 2,000 mAh battery. In terms of time, that will translate into 22h talk or 66 days standby! Imagine charging your phone only 6 times a year (if you’re not that popular ;)). The battery inside this phone is nearly as thick as the phone. Otherwise this is a very basic dual-band GSM phone, with Bluetooth, microSD slot and VGA camera.

The Samsung E2370 is currently priced at only 79€ (23% VAT included). Hit View Post to see the gallery.


Route 66 for WaveSamsung has a long relationship with Route 66, a navigation software used in some of their phones. Now you can get lifetime navigation for your Samsung Wave, or S8500, that runs on Samsung’s bada OS.

For 29.99€, you will get lifetime navigation in one country, for 39.99€ you’ll get Eastern or Western Europe, and for 49.99€ you’ll get lifetime navigation in Europe.

Of course this isn’t the same as what Nokia is currently offering with its FREE Lifetime maps for some Nokia phones, but it certainly is worth it if you use your phone as a navigator.

The offer is valid till the end of this year, and can be bought by following this link.
