After the iPhone app, Staples is going for the Android community and folks with tablets (whether it’s an Android-based one or the iPad).

Samsung officially introduces the AT&T Galaxy Note in Super Bowl ad
Just as promised, Samsung has released its 90 second Galaxy Note ad during the Super Bowl. Following in the lines of its previous ads for the Galaxy S II (with a bit of a twist), this Galaxy Note ad pokes fun at iPhone users waiting in the long lines Apple loves to see outside its stores and shows them what “freedom” feels like. We think. We already got a chance to play with the Galaxy Note at CES this past January and while the idea of a 5.3 inch phone … Read more

US Cellular has officially announced its first two LTE devices for its yet-to-be-born network in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S Aviator. The devices will launch in March and April, with no shred of pricing details to be found. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is easily the most popular Android tablet available today (although not the most powerful), if you’re not counting the Kindle Fire, of course. The large, 1280 x 800 display is coupled with the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core SoC, along with a … Read more

Samsung to debut Galaxy S III during the Super Bowl? Nah, it’s probably the Note [UPDATE]
Samsung sent out a tweet that is both vague and exciting today regarding an upcoming, “revolutionary” device. Said device will be launched in an ad during the Super Bowl this coming Sunday and while we want to say it’s the Galaxy S III, in all likelihood it’s the Galaxy Note. There have been rumors that the Galaxy S III wouldn’t make its debut at Mobile World Congress this year, which could possibly make one believe that the Super Bowl ad could indeed be for the upcoming flagship handset but let’s … Read more

Notion Ink Adam II announced – Not many take notice
It’s been a while since we’ve heard the name Notion Ink being thrown around but it’s resurfaced with the promise of the Adam II. No real details for the upcoming tablet have been released, other than the fact that the Indian company has partnered with Texas Instruments to run the show and that the device will ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Before the original Adam was released, I was very intrigued by the tablet’s capabilities and wanted one as soon as I could get Notion Ink to take … Read more
