Wow, this really surprised me, I didn’t even hear about this coming. I guess I honestly gave up, I recall reading that it wasn’t getting anymore updates so I just stopped paying attention.

A new camera from Samsung and it’s a DualView, meaning it has an LCD on the back and on the front. The front LCD allows those who you are taking a picture of to see it, I guess that way they could make sure their eyes are open and not closed for the picture. The …

It looks like Seagate’s hard drive business got a little bigger with the acquisition of Samsung’s HDD division. There aren’t many hard drive companies left really are there? That can’t be good for competition can it? Seriously though, think about it? Where is the incentive to offer good prices when there isn’t any competition in …

This is just a short one. Samsung sent over pictures of their two new Windows phones, the Focus S and Focus Flash. They’ll both feature Windows Phone 7.5 or mango as it’s called. They both have plenty of other features that I think will make them very attractive.        Samsung …

I love my Galaxy S Captivate, now I really want the Galaxy S II, but sadly my contract isn’t up with AT&T until next year. That of course means if I want the Galaxy S II I’ll have to pay full price for it, and that’s just not in my budget, certainly not with three …
