Samsung released a new video on their YouTube channel last night, highlighting all the new features included in the upcoming Premium Suite update for the Galaxy Note. While they just about showed off everything from S-Pen features to Ice Cream Sandwich, they managed to remain vague about a release date by sticking with the old “Available on Q2 2012” comment. However, the fact that they have released this video onto their YouTube channel is a good indication that the update may not be that far off

[Update: No need to wait for an email, you can go get your dongle now. Simply follow the instructions laid out here: ASUS]

When we told you ASUS would be providing its Transformer Prime customers with an add-on dongle to improve GPS, we had no idea they’d be turning it into the Hunchback of Transformer Prime. ASUS must be fans of Crocodile Dundee: “That’s not a dongle, that’s a dongle!” Okay, that’s enough analogies for now, you can see for yourself that this thing is quite the add-on. The good news is it improves GPS significantly, but then again, so would a GPS IIF satellite (okay, this time I’m done — for real).


After a lengthy wait, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is finally available for pre-order on Sprint. It’s slated for an April 22 launch, and while it’s the second LTE phone announced to launch on the 22nd, Sprint’s LTE network remains MIA. We’re assuming Sprint’s failure to get LTE up and running is the reason behind the long wait for the Galaxy Nexus, but at this point, I can’t see why anyone would pick this up at the current price Sprint is offering.


After a barrage of rumors and fake images, we’re finally going to get some real facts about the Galaxy S III (that is if that’s the “Next Galaxy”). Samsung has begun sending out press invites to a “Samsung Unpacked” event in London on May 3rd where they will be unveiling the “Next Galaxy.” It’s safe to assume this will be the Samsung Galaxy S III, which means we’re less than a month away from finally seeing this unicorn in the wild.
