Samsung has unveiled their new lineup of colors for the Samsung Galaxy S III. While we were already tipped off to a few of these (black, titanium grey), we finally have confirmation from Samsung. The four new color (inspired by nature) include “Amber Brown,” “Garnet Red,” “Sapphire Black” and “Titanium Gray.” I guess that means AT&T’s exclusive red won’t be so exclusive come the release of these new colors.

If you’ve been thinking about picking up an ASUS Transformer Pad TF300, then you’re going to want to check out the deal Sears is currently offering. Anyone who purchases the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 now until September 1st, will get the keyboard dock at no extra charge. That’s a fantastic deal, especially considering the keyboard dock usually goes for $150.

Can’t say we didn’t see this coming. Fresh off of their U.S. victory, Apple has filed to have eight (out of 28) of Samsung’s infringing devices banned from sales in the US. The recent victory surely tips the scales in favor of Apple, but that still doesn’t mean an automatic injunction. Apple will have to prove that these eight devices will cause irreparable harm to their products if not banned (something I highly doubt is true).

Semi-good news for anyone living in Germany, Spain, or France. The Google Nexus 7 is now available to you via the Google Play Store and can be had for €199 for the 8GB model and €249 for the 16GB. This is slightly above U.S. pricing, which isn’t uncommon for the European market, but at least they will be able to enjoy a wealth of content and features, as well as Jelly Bean. Unfortunately, Google Music and Google Magazines is still unavailable.

ASUS rolled out Jelly Bean to TF300 users a few days ago but to the dismay of those in the U.K., they weren’t included. Thankfully, ASUS, — being the company that they are — quickly got to work and are now pushing out the Android 4.1 update to our friends across the pond. We can’t praise ASUS enough for the amazing job they’ve done getting updates out to their users and this is just another testament to their commitment.
