Sad news folks. At the moment Samsung has no plans to launch two of its newly unveiled devices, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab 7.7, in the U.S. The information comes from GottaBeMobile.com, which managed to get it straight from the horse’s mouth – Samsung’s spokesperson.

Before you go “that’s outrageous,” let me add that no one knows when the two products will be available in other parts of the world. I would bet Sammy wants to ship them just in time for the Christmas shopping season and that it’s also pitching the U.S. carriers as we speak. However, they [U.S. carriers] may want to focus on the Galaxy S II launch first and then to introduce new devices at some point next year.

Personally I think the Galaxy Note is too big to carry around in a pocket, but I love the Galaxy Tab 7.7. It’s not just a compact device (for a tablet), but also the first such product with a Super AMOLED screen, making its colors uber vivid. Can’t wait to grab one. :)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Some of us carry our phones in a bag and want as much screen real estate as possible in a single converged device. This is a dream come true and if it supports AT&T bands, I will happily buy it from an importer.
