We saw these tablets previewed back during CTIA 2011 by Samsung and now the wait is almost over if you’ve been wanting one since then. Samsung is getting ready to release their 10.1 dual-core Android tablet onto the market for public consumption starting June 8th in New York City.
Yet another major announcement in the opening keynote session came out and one that everyone should be happy about. Google has partnered with 10 OEMs and carriers to guarantee timely Android updates to devices. This is in order to combat OS fragmentation which has been happening a lot. One device gets their update while others wait for months.
Think of a PSP with Android on it and you will basically have the initial design for a gaming platform being created by Yanko which, if it comes to light, would be a direct competitor with the Xperia Play. Granted Sony Ericsson has the backing of Sony and their Playstation games but Yanko would have the same benefit of gaming controls.
Samsung just got finished with their Unpacked event over at CTIA and have announced two new tablets coming our way very soon, summer in fact. The Galaxy Tablet 8.9 and the Galaxy Tablet 10.1 will be heading into our hands this summer with some seriously good pricing to top it all off. Oh, did we mention they are dual-core?
Remember yesterday’s article about the S5830 we had some leaked pictures of and was being referred to as a mini phone? Well we now have a name for the device and it is called the Samsung Galaxy Ace. No other real information is known just yet regarding the stats except for what we posted already.
So it seems Samsung may very well be releasing Android first ‘mini’ phone. The Samsung S5830, as it is dubbed, features an interesting silver/gray siding to it while the back is a nice glossy black, similar to the Nexus S. Judging from the photos it only has one rear facing camera and overall looks like a mini Nexus S with silver accents.
DeNA is a huge social gaming network which recently purchased ngmoco and has 20.5 million registered users in Japan alone has now teamed up with Samsung to bring Mobage to Samsung Android devices. This won’t be strictly in Japan though because with this partnership, DeNA plans to bring this social gaming network to the global audience.
It seems as though we should start calling every Monday in the Android community “Device Monday” or at least just for today. We just got a tip on Twitter from our friend Junde regarding the upcoming Meizu M9 and M9II phones, slated for release in China. Why are we reporting about phones in China? Android has no borders!
More device news coming our way this Monday and again from Samsung. This time instead of the Nexus S it is the W899. This is a flip phone (clamshell in other words) that features twin Super AMOLED screens (front and back) on the top half of the phone. Also it features a rather great looking gold-ish and black finish on the outside.
Samsung Galaxy Tablet, the first real Android tablet? While a lot of other companies have released tablets using Android, the Galaxy Tablet has so far been considered the real first tablet. Available on multiple carriers, this 7″ tablet is available with or without contract. Verizon just dropped one off on our doorstep so we did what any good site would do, recorded myself unboxing it!
