Samsung has today announced the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and the Galaxy Mega 6.3, two super-sized smartphones that make the Galaxy Note II look rather small. Both devices look similar to the new Galaxy S4, but their internal specifications are nowhere near as impressive.

The Galaxy Megas are more entry-level to midrange devices, with dual-core processors, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8-megapixel cameras. They do run the latest Android 4.2 operating system, however, and they have built-in infrared blasters that’ll let you control your television and other devices.

Thanks to those leaked screenshots that appeared on Tuesday, we’re pretty confident that Google Babel is no longer just a rumor, but a real product that’s patiently waiting to get its grand unveiling. And according to sources that are familiar with Google’s plans, it’s worth getting excited about.

They claim Babel aims to be “everything we have ever asked for in a unified messenger service,” with cross-platform syncing and a “first class iOS experience.”

Why so sad, Sergey?

Wearing Google Glass may have its advantages, but there are plenty of disadvantages, too. Not only does it look a little silly, but it’ll also get you thrown out of your favorite strip joint. One Las Vegas gentleman’s club owner says that Google Glass is banned before it is even released.

Samsung has today confirmed that the new Galaxy Note 8.0 will launch in the United States on April 11, priced at $399. The device will be available in-stores and online from a number of retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, Staples, and TigerDirect.com.

Babel, a new chat service rumored to be on its way from Google, has been shown off in a bunch of leaked screenshots ahead of its official unveiling. The images reportedly come from a Google employee, and they show Babel running on a desktop. Not only do they confirm the service’s name, but also a number of its features.
