Sprint has announced that the much-anticipated Android 4.4.2 KitKat over-the-air update is currently in preparation for its carrier-branded Samsung Galaxy Mega (5.8 and 6.3), Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy S III, and Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 variants located in both North and South America.
One of the most interesting announcements from Samsung’s Unpacked 5 event last week was the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and more particularly the Gear Fit smartwatch.

Samsung has been known to be working on a Google Glass competitor of its own in its research labs.

Samsung has today confirmed that its new Galaxy TabPRO 12.2 will go on sale in the U.S. on Sunday, March 9, priced at $649.99. The device will be available from Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and Samsung’s own online store — and it comes bundled with $800 worth of free content, including a $25 Google Play voucher and three months of Hulu Plus.
