Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Three: Hands-on review
Three were so excited about the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the flagship Android phone, that they sent me one to cast my weary eye over for a week or so. So how is the new hotness? Samsung and Google left little out of the guts of the Galaxy Nexus. Inside the device you’ll find a dual-core TI OMAP 4460 CPU clocked to 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 32GB or 16GB of…
Samsung and Google team up to launch the Galaxy Nexus
The ever-competitive Smartphone market has just entered new territory with the immediate release of the Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus is the world’s first Smartphone to run Ice Cream Sandwich, the rather amusing name for the Android 4.0 operating platform. With power in mind, Samsung have given the Nexus a 4.65″ HD display using AMOLED technology. This gives a crisp resolution of 720p, making it one of the most vibrant displays…
Samsung and 14 Bike co team up to make tablet bike holder
If you live in a built up urban area with a proliferation of cool kids it’s pretty hard not notice the sea of cool kids on single speed bicycles – and the even cooler kids on fixed gear bicycles. And it’s also pretty hard not to notice all the cool kids wandering around with tablet computers. So why oh why can’t their worlds collide? And I’m not talking about cyclists…
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7: Tablets for titchy palms
It seemed everyone thought a lot of the original Galaxy Tablet when it first came out; there were even (shush) whispers that it might have been a device to at least offer some faint resistance to the iPad World Takeover. Unfortunately it was blighted by the fact it only ran Android 2.2 which was really designed for handsets, thus the Tab 7 quickly looked dated. Fortunately, the whizz-kids in the…
Samsung Slate PC Series-7: Crazy name, impressive spec
While the champions of iOS and Android battle it out in the tablet-space this autumn, one manufacture has taken up the fight for a more ancient cause – a Windows-based tablet. Samsung’s plan is to create ultimate office tablet, using typical office software – Windows 7 and Microsoft Office. Enter the Slate PC Series-7, with a crazy name but good specs. To power the full-sized Windows 7 operating system on…
Budding wildlife photographers rejoice with the launch of the Samsung WB750!
Compact, digital cameras seem to be fixated on delivering more sophisticated and proficient lenses in recent months, a focus, which I believe, is well overdue. The latest camera to be promoting its assets predominantly on its lens is Samsung’s new WB750, which, in featuring the longest ever zoom in the company’s compact camera portfolio, “takes you further and faster than ever before”. Asides from its 18x Optical Zoom, 24x Smart-Zoom…
Samsung’s BD-DT7800 Freeview PVR: Preparing viewers for the digital switchover
I have never quite understood why companies offer cashback on their products rather than just simply dropping the price. Perhaps it has something to do with improving the cash flow of the business, as the customer pays more money in the first place and companies have a few weeks to give the consumer the cashback via a check. Who knows? This is however a tactic adopted by Samsung, who is…
Samsung Series 9: Light, bright and superfast
Samsung has brought two new models to its Series 9 notebooks for business users, promising speedier performance from the new models. The new pair of models have a speedier core i5 CPU than their predecessors and are made from duralumin – Samsung tells us this is used to make aircraft, is very light and is twice as strong as aluminium. Thanks to their construction, the notebooks weigh 1.31kg and is…
Pierre Cardin tablet review
In the technology industry, true beauty has always lay beneath the surface. There’s just no point in having something that looks nice if it doesn’t do anything – that’s an ornament, not a gadget. Enter the Pierre Cardin Tablet. Does fashion-consciousness cost the tablet usability? Read on. Firstly – it looks nice. Well, it looks like an iPad, with a few more ports in the side and a big ring…
Samsung Class 4 SDHC cards: Semi-indestructible storage
Memory cards are often the unsung hero of the gadget world, much like batteries – another component that rarely gets a shout out. Yet memory cards can often be the lynch pin of our digital life – storing those amazing shots from our swanky new camera, expanding the memory on a smart phone or holding the soundtrack to our lives. The gradual move to cloud storage may make them a…
