LG recognizes consumers need for speed, and since LTE is the fastest way to go, it’s releasing its first LTE tablet, the Optimus Pad LTE. The tablet will see an initial release in Korea with possible market expansion in the future. Past LG tablets haven’t generated much of a splash, but the Optimus Pad LTE has some nice features and could fare well if given the right price. The Optimus Pad LTE will feature a 8.9-inch IPS True HD Display along with:
I was highly skeptical today when I heard the rumor of Samsung considering a purchase of the failing RIM, and it turns out rightfully so. Samsung has commented on today’s rumors and had this to say:
“We haven’t considered acquiring the firm and are not interested in (buying RIM),” Samsung spokesman James Chung said.
And just like that… the rumors are put to rest.
As mobile devices gain advances in almost every aspect of hardware and software, the one thing that doesn’t get any better is battery life. It’s expected that all these larger screens, graphic intensive games, etc. would demand more of our batteries, but why we have yet to see battery advances or larger batteries included in these devices is beyond me. Perhaps it’s due to manufacturers trying to maintain a slim appearance, but it’s time to start spending a bit more worrying about battery life versus a couple millimeters in thickness.
This rumor has been making the rounds today so I figured why not talk about it. According to a trusted source of BGR, RIM is looking for someone to buy their ailing company — specifically, leading mobile OEM Samsung. I, for one, don’t believe this will ever happen, and can’t even think of one good reason for Samsung to purchase RIM. Many will argue Samsung would gain things such as BBM, BIS/BES and most of all, RIM’s pile of patents. But does Samsung really need any of that? I don’t think so.
Verizon’s latest move attempts to convince you that 16GB of memory is worth $100. In classic Big Red fashion, Verizon removed the 16GB SD card from the 32GB DROID RAZR and thus dropped the price to $199. This is of course in preparation for the DROID RAZR MAXX coming out with a $299 price. At $299, that puts the RAZR MAXX at the same price as the original RAZR, and in all honesty, who’s going to purchase the original RAZR with its smaller battery when they can get the MAXX for the same price?
