Have you ever wanted a digital camera that could double as a cellphone? No, me neither. But Samsung’s going to give you one anyway. TechTastic has snapped some photos of Samsung’s alleged Galaxy S4 Zoom, and as you can see above, it’s a monstrous beast that looks like a Galaxy S4 glued to the back of a point-and-shoot.
Samsung’s latest flagship phone has been available to purchase on just about every U.S. carrier for a while now, but as of today we can add another one to that long list. U.S. mobile carrier Cricket Wireless has just begun taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S4, with an expected shipping date of June 7th.
Samsung may have already launched its flagship Galaxy S4 worldwide, but it clearly has more treats up its sleeve. The Korean company has begun issuing invitations for a June 20 “Premiere” event in London, where it will announce new products under the Galaxy and Ativ brands.
Turkey’s tablet loving Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has been going on a tour of the U.S. in pursuit of the greatest tablet marker in the world to arm his students with. The prime minister visited Silicon Valley on May 18th to be briefed by the world’s best technology companies on their latest endeavors.
Erdoğan is looking to buy 10.6 million iPads for his country’s education new education project Faith. So far, Erdoğan was first greeted by Microsoft CEO, Steve Balmer, and then he paid visits to both Apple, Google.
Regarding his visit to the U.S., Erdoğan said:
Samsung has a problem. It controled 33.1% of the global smartphone marketshare last quarter — Apple was only 17.9% — yet that’s almost entirely in the low-end of the market.
What’s keeping Samsung from conquering the high-end of the market, where all the profit is and which Apple continues to dominate? Software: there is a wide-spread impression amongst consumers that Samsung’s apps just aren’t as good as Apple’s.
That’s a problem Samsung is eager to solve. That’s why they are ponying up $800,000 to developers willing to make great, Galaxy-specific apps.
