LG’s upcoming Optimus Vu has a 5-inch screen with 4:3 aspect ratio
LG is teasing us with a new, still unannounced device. Called Optimus Vu, it’s an Android smartphone with a huge 5-inch screen. However, there’s something special about that screen – it has a 4:3 aspect ratio which is kinda strange, prompting us to think about compatibility and how many of the existing apps will render on such a device. Aside from that screen, this bad boy will also comes with a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm APQ8060 SoC, 1GB of RAM, 8GB ROM, NFC, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread will … Read more

Samsung offers Modern Combat 3 free for Galaxy S II users
Like an extra incentive is needed to get the Samsung Galaxy S II, the Korean company keeps offering some free content to its users. Their latest gig involves giving away Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation through Samsung Apps store. That said, this may be Sammy’s way to trick users into tapping the Samsung Apps icon on their smartphones. Honestly, I can’t recall when was the last time I opened it and I guess in that sense (presuming Samsung wants to have more users of its app store) – offering freebies … Read more

It may also prove a long-term threat for Google, as technologies like Siri could become a disruptive platform that stands between users and search engines. I’ve always … Read more
