We can’t really call Samsung’s bada efforts a total failure. Sure they are making most of their “mobile money” by selling simple feature phones and Android-powered smartphones, but Sammy’s bada-based Wave smartphones are contributing a bit as well. That said, we’ve learned that by the end of this year, the Korean company will surpass 10…
Well, it looks like we were right about the Nexus Prime showing up at CTIA Oct. 11, as we’ve just received an invite from Samsung which will give us a “look at what’s new from Android.” While Samsung doesn’t go outright and say this is the Nexus Prime or Galaxy Prime or Droid Prime or…
Microsoft is painting the licensing agreement with Samsung regarding Android as a positive sign of how intellectual property can drive innovation and collaboration. Google sees it a different way: it said that Microsoft is resorting to extortion. In a message e-mailed to the press, Google said: This is the same tactic we’ve seen time and…
Samsung is on fire with its product line and has easily become the king of Android when it comes to handsets and offered up one of the only worthwhile Android tablets, until just recently. With the Galaxy S II already a hit, we really like what Samsung is doing with its products and the Galaxy…
Microsoft and Samsung have announced that they’re going to cross-license their patent portfolios.

Specifically, HTC, LG, Motorola Mobility, RIM, Samsung, and Sony Ericcson are all on board. DeviceFidelity also joining the cause by promising new products…
Samsung showed us last night that it has plenty more to add to its Galaxy portfolio. If you thought the Galaxy S II devices weren’t enough, or that maybe the Galaxy Tab and Tab 10.1 were feeling a little lonely, how about a Tab 8.9? Or to accompany its smaller cousins, the Galaxy Player 4.0…
Just as we expected that phrase “Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 won’t be launched in the U.S.” was meant for this year. It’s likely we’ll see the new Android tablet unveiled at some point in early 2012. In the meantime, folks at the FCC are having fun with it while the rest of us can only…
Last time we talked about the Samsung Infuse 4G, it got some small update, which did NOT including Android 2.3 Gingerbread. As we’ve heard before, Sammy’s baby will get the Gingerbread treatment after all but we’re not sure when that will happen.
