It’s been nothing but bad news for the Samsung Galaxy Tab the past two days. First, it was discovered in an earnings call that Samsung didn’t actually sell two million units to consumers as reported just a few days ago. The misreporting caused even more drama when it turned out that a Samsung executive was…

The 7-inch Android tablet will be launching on Wednesday for $199.99 with a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in-rebate. T-Mobile also says that you must have a qualifying plan,…
Shocker: The Nook Color has received what looks to be one of the first builds of Android 3.0 Honeycomb up and running. While there are countless things that don’t work on the device with the build, it’s better than nothing, and at least is on an actual device. Don’t get your hopes up, Nook Color…
