Seems like Samsung Galaxy S might soon become the most globally popular handset after the famed Apple iPhone versions. Galaxy S is set to arrive with four of the biggest US carriers and one of them (indeed two), AT&T, has even gone ahead and given the official nod-ahead. Announced today, AT&T users will be able to make the Samsung Captivate (AT&T specific version of the Galaxy S) their own, come July 18. As expected the Galaxy S version will be priced at $199 on contract without any rebate requirements. If you remember, it wasn’t long back that we talked about

The upgraded cousin of the Motorola Droid, the Droid X is slated for a release at the Big Red stores on July 15, but interestingly a few of the lucky customers have already received the handset and those lucky few are left with no choice but to celebrate the early arrival. Given the spec sheet this phone comes with, the experts are excited about this Verizon locked device as they believe it could pose a serious threat to the AT&T branded iPhone 4. The smartphone that currently stages Android Eclair will better compete with the Apple device when the Froyo and the Adobe Flash

AT&T customers who have been waiting for the new Galaxy S, or better said Galaxy Captivate, are in for a treat — we have official word from the company that the smartphone’s release date has been announced for July 18th. A rather powerful device, the Galaxy S has already charmed the world, with the company selling some 200,000 units in South Korea, already. So why all the hype? The new Samsung Captivate comes with impressive features like the amazing 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display, Android 2.1 on-board (with rumors speaking of Android 2.2 soon) and a

HTC Desire was a heartthrob in Europe and ever since its sales success, the Desire has been a much awaited smartphone in the US market and now it appears that the wait is finally getting over. Although, until date, there has been no other North American Carrier other than Telus to have openly acknowledged the handset arriving at its stores. AT&T is also expected to sell the HTC Desire, but the big boys need to announce it publicly first. A few days back, the Desire could have been dubbed any ordinary device, but with the Android 2.2 Froyo update announced for the handset,

A spokesman for Nintendo Corporation has revealed that the Japanese company will announce the pricing and launch date for its highly-awaited handheld gaming console, the 3DS, on the 29th of September. The device was first announced in March and since then, rumors have placed the pricing of the 3DS between $249 to $299 and the release date for the gadget between October 2010 and March 2011. The Nintendo 3DS, which is part of the company’s DS series of gaming consoles, will be the first in its range to provide a 3D illusion during gaming, an effect that is achieved without the

Samsung has reportedly given a clue pointing to Sprint’s variant of the Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, called Epic 4G, to be launched around August 20. Samsung has posted on its site that the company has scheduled the release of the demo video for the Epic 4G on their television support website at 4.30 pm EST on that particular day. The demo video release date is being linked with the launch date of the smartphone as the launch of other Galaxy S variants such as T-Mobile’s Vibrant and AT&T’s Captivate have also taken place within a few days of its demo video release by

Talk about competitiveness in the field of telecommunications and there cannot be a better example than the way the big US carriers keep introducing better phones by the day to win over a larger customer base. We have managed to dig out the speculative release dates of the Sprint Epic 4G, Verizon Droid 2 and the AT&T BlackBerry Torch-and the comparison again reflects at the competitiveness. If the grapevine can be trusted, the Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint (recognized as Samsung Galaxy S Pro by some) will be made available on August 11, which means our earlier assumptions of

Analyst Shaw Wu from Kaufman Brothers investment said that T-Mobile USA will be the next US carrier to bring the iPhone to its customers. While that leaves a lot of people disappointed, with many expecting Verizon Wireless, the second largest carrier in the country, to follow AT&T, it’s a step forward knowing that Apple may have lifted the barrier.Wu thinks that T-Mobile is favorite to be the next carrier for the iPhone, because just like AT&T they’re a GSM network. That means that Cupertino won’t need to change their device because the big

One of the company’s most innovative devices ever, the Apple iPad is certainly a device many are craving for right now as it comes with some really interesting specs. Which is why everyone looking to spend some money on this stylish piece of tech should know that Steve Jobs confirmed availability for the iPad tablet and mentioned a release date for March (March 27 if we’re hearing it right). For those out of the know, Apple’s iPad has a customary 1GHz Apple A4 processor, Bluetooth and 802.11n WiFi connectivity, an accelerometer and a compass. Other specs

It seems that the iPad popularity has some telling effect as even the pre-orders for Fusion Garage’s JooJoo Tablet have exceeded expectations. This may be one of the reasons why Fusion Garage has decided to sell the Tablet PC as early as the end of this month. JooJoo Tablet PC may be a far cry from the iPad but, it does impress us on certain counts-Flash support, multitasking and a webcam/microphone combo. The dark side is that the JooJoo Tablet PC does not offer any connectivity mode other than WiFi and 3G hopefuls may have to wait till eternity. Talking about the
