Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Tab 2 Press Info Leaked Early.

Based on the press release photo and specs, it appears as though Samsung has plans to bring the thunder with their upcoming smartphone and tablet release.  The Samsung Galaxy S2 should be making its appearance at MWC on the 14th, but we’ve managed to search the depths of the Internet and scrape up some pre-released info on the device for you.  The specs and photo were leaked from a Korean blog called Paran, which revealed some pretty hefty particulars.  The Galaxy S2 will sport a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus multi-touch screen, a 1 GHz dual-core processor (Exynos?) and Bluetooth 3.0.  The device will also support WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n and come packed with HSPA+ compatibility.  Sounds like a powerhouse of a device to me.  Here’s to hoping Samsung stays on the ball and the device sees some “timely” updates.  Why are you laughing?  Although, it shouldn’t be that much of a deal breaker for you since the device will be released with Gingerbread (2.3).   » Read the rest

Australian version of Nexus S will not have Super AMOLED display

For those of you in Australia looking to pick up a Google Nexus S when it becomes available on Vodafone, there’s some bad news. The Nexus S to be distributed in Australia will not have a Super AMOLED display, instead sporting a Super LCD display.

Vodafone announced earlier this week that it’d be carrying the Nexus S in 24 countries, though it hasn’t been determined whether other countries will have to settle for the downgraded Nexus S screen. However, the Super AMOLED version of the phone appeared on a Vodafone Germany preview site. Perhaps the situation will vary from country to country.

Despite the screen issue, Australian users will still enjoy the following features of the Google Nexus S:

  • 4 inch touch screen
  • 5.0 megapixel with HD Video recording (720p)
  • Integrated Google services including:
  • Search™, Talk™, Maps™ Gmail™ and YouTube™2
  • Access to 100,000+ Android™ Market Apps
  • Latest Google updates using Google update service
  • Built-in GPS with Google Maps Navigation
  • Near Field Communication (NFC)
  • Wi-Fi, USB and Stereo Bluetooth connectivity
  • Front-facing video call camera
  • 16GB Internal Memory

Android tablets built into Indian buses

Lookout dub rolling Escalades and high class airliner planes cause it looks like buses are going to be the new mode of transportation to have integrated screens in their headrests.  And not just any screen, but an Android tablet screen!  That’s right, buses in India are now sporting 7″ touch screens that run their own customized Android interface that allows users to login and do the normal things you would do on an Android tablet, such as view maps, watch video, listen to music, or log into your bank account (although I highly discourage the latter).  What’s nice is that it’s a free service, and I’ll give you 1 guess how it’s all possible…  by serving your advertising!

Still, this is a nice addition to your morning commute should you use the bus, and as long as people don’t hack them out of the headrests or hack the system itself, I can see this as a great use of Android in the future for public transportation.  Hit the jump to see some additional video footage of it in action. » Read the rest
