Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G review and full specifications

Samsung Galaxy S 4G T699 Relay is an Android phone with a QWERTY keyboard, this phone is another version of the Galaxy S III which is the most popular smartphone made ​​by Samsung.



A picture of a T-Mobile branded Samsung smartphone has been obtained by TmoNews and speculation is that the device is the SGH-T699 that we wrote about last month. Back then, the hope was that the model was a T-Mobile variant of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus. But as you can see from the picture, it is apparently a handset sporting a side-sliding physical QWERTY keyboard.

The device is said to be equipped with a 5MP rear-facing camera, a front-facing camera and an LED notification light. Thanks to a User Agent Profile found last month, we also know that inside that body lies the beating heart of a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 or S4 processor, and the resolution of the display is 720 x 1280. While we can't really get a feel for how high each key on the QWERTY lies, we can say that the 5-row offset keyboard looks like it might be quite serviceable. The source for TmoNews says that the device runs smoothly with no lags or slowdowns.



For those who are addicted to a physical QWERTY to type on, this could be a very interesting model even if the 5MP camera indicates a more low to mid range device.

Microsoft tells the story for Windows Phone 8, with a little help from Jessica Alba

Microsoft tells the story for Windows Phone 8, with a little help from Jessica Alba.

Some of the Windows Phone 8 that will be on sale

That's what happened. Microsoft has revealed a new version of its mobile phone software in a bid to take on Apple and Android.

The firm hopes that by making its software more similar to the new Windows 8 software it launched last week, it can attract more users.

At an event in San Francisco last night, Jessica Alba joined Microsoft bosses on stage for the unveiling, where the firm pledged to bring more apps to the platform.

Jessica Alba talking about how the new feature in WP helps her as a mom and a business owner

The company had spent the last 2 years differentiating itself from Apple and Android...in fact, there were so many positive reviews on the live tiles concept that focus on People during the launching of the Windows Phone 7. It was not a success when it comes to sales, partly due to the hardware that is not as strong as the available phones in the market back then. There were also lack of popular third party applications, which are still an issue for the company at the moment. 

Microsoft said it will also catch up in offering third-party apps. 

There are 120,000 applications available for Windows Phone, but some apps that are popular on other systems are notably missing from Windows Phone because it can be hard to get developers interested in writing programs for a small number of smartphones. 

Apple and Google, by comparison, say their app stores both have 700,000 apps for phones.

However, the firm claimed it is patching some of those holes soon: Microsoft vice president Joe Belfiore said Internet radio service Pandora is coming to Windows Phone 8, along with games such as 'Where's My Water?' 

Soon, he said, 46 of the 50 most popular smartphone apps will be available. 

The company is also releasing an app for Skype, the Internet calling service it owns. 

The Skype app available for Windows Phone 7 was an unfinished, or 'beta' version, the firm claimed.

The new Skype app will run in the background, listening for incoming calls without placing any drain on the battery, Belfiore said.

Actress Jessica Alba lent star power to the event, endorsing Kid's Corner as a 'busy mom.' 

Jessica Alba switch to Windows Phone from iPhone 2 months ago...

Owners will also be able link apps to their lock screen, giving them at-a-glance information such as sports scores. 

Windows 8 for computers has borrowed its look from Windows Phone 7, presenting applications not as icons but as 'Live Tiles,' which can be animated with data from the application. For instance, the 'Pictures' tile shows a slideshow. The live tiles and the distinctive user interface remain Microsoft's biggest selling points for Windows Phone. In terms of third-party applications and the features of the phones, it's mostly playing catch-up to the iPhone and Android.

Of course, the launching of Windows Phone 8 is one of Microsoft's biggest bet given the emphasis on it even expand to the desktop version, the Windows 8. This will also be the year that Microsoft launch their very own tablet, Surface...with the amount of money spent on advertisement and marketing, it is difficult to see why Microsoft couldn't hurl themselves back into the mobile game.

Microsoft Prices Surface at $499 to Rival iPad

Read an interesting article from Bloomberg.com and feel excited awaiting the launch of the Microsoft next generation OS - the Windows 8. While I have seen how smooth Windows Phone 7 even with lower end CPU, I wonder how Windows 8 RT will be, although I remember clearly that during the demo of Windows 8 RT when Microsoft announced the launch of the Microsoft very own tablet - Surface few months back, it crashed somewhere. Windows 8 RT, do have similar code base with Windows 8 Pro, but with limited software written for it. Only software written in Windows Runtime (Metro Style app) can be used on Windows RT.

While it is clearly that this tablet will be using the ARM architecture, I wonder whether Microsoft will have any plan to come up with Surface "Pro", with full version of the Windows 8 and using the x86 architecture by Intel? If so, then it will definitely jolt the price of INTC as well as MSFT as consumer will have a tablet, and plug the snap-on cover, you will have a stripped down version of ultrabook. 2 in 1 sounds good to me - especially if it is priced slightly higher than the current top range Surface with free Microsoft Office pre-installed.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) will sell its first computer, a device called Surface RT, for as little as $499 as the software maker pushes into the tablet market dominated by Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPad.

The first iteration of the device, powered by a chip with technology from ARM Holdings Plc (ARM), will be available as a 32- gigabyte model for $499, the company said in a statement. With a black cover, it will cost $599, and a 64-gigabyte version will be $699. The machine goes on sale Oct. 26, and Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft will take a limited number of early online orders starting at 12 p.m. New York time today.

The world’s largest software maker needed a device priced under $500 to lure customers away from the iPad and to compete with Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Google Inc. (GOOG), which are pushing prices lower in the tablet category, said Bob O’Donnell, an analyst at market-research firm IDC. The latest version of the iPad starts at $499 for a 16-gigabyte device that, like the Surface, uses a Wi-Fi short range wireless connection.

“Everything is pulling tablet prices down to below $500, so anything over $500 -- that is a tablet that is going to look expensive,” he said.

The snap-on cover, which includes a full keyboard, is one of the key features that make the Surface different from other tablets. Customers can buy the cover for $119.99 in black, white, magenta, cyan and red, according to the statement.

New Windows

Surface will be sold in Microsoft’s retail stores, including 34 temporary locations set up for the holidays. They’re also available online in the U.S., U.K., China, Germany, France, Hong Kong, Australia and Canada.

The tablet has a 10.6-inch display and will run the new version of Microsoft’s operating system, which also goes on sale Oct. 26.

The software maker is stepping up its assault on the tablet market as consumers choose the devices over laptops, weakening personal-computer sales and curbing Windows revenue. In the third quarter, total global PC shipments fell 8.3 percent from a year earlier to 87.5 million, market-research firm Gartner Inc. said last week.

Since the iPad went on sale in April 2010, Apple has led the tablet market, which is predicted by DisplaySearch to reach $63.2 billion this year. Apple has 61 percent of the market, according to Gartner. Apple may introduce a smaller, less expensive version of the iPad at an event on Oct. 23, a person familiar with the matter said last week.

Apple will probably price the iPad mini at $299 or $349, said Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. An older version of the iPad sells for $399 in the U.S., according to the company’s website.

Google’s Nexus 7 tablet and some versions of Amazon’s Kindle Fire with 7-inch screens cost $199. Amazon also sells a Fire with an 8.9-inch screen for $299.

Asus Padfone 2 specs, price and released date in Europe and Asia detailed

Asus Padfone 2 has been officially launched with two versions of internal memory is 32GB and 64GB, while the 16GB version will likely be released at Christmas.



Asus Padfone 2 will be available for several European countries (Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Sweden) and Asia (Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and the UAE) and are available beginning in December 2012.



The US hasn't been mentioned in the official press release, but we got a word from an ASUS manager at the event, saying the Padfone 2 will debut in the US by the end of the year as well.



As for pricing, the 32GB Padfone 2 (including a the 10.1" tablet station) will retail in Europe for €799, while the 64GB model will be €899. We guess once the 16GB version comes arounds, it'll cost around the €699 mark.



In Asia, the Padfone 2 tablet station will be sold separately for NT$8,990 ($310). There, the unsubsidized Padfone 2 smartphone will retail for NT$17,990 ($620) and NT$21,901 ($750) for the 16GB and 32GB models, respectively. However, should customers purchase the Padfone 2 together with the tablet station, the latter will be sold at NT$6,000 (around $210).



Information on subsizided US versions isn't yet available, and we are yet to see which US carriers will pick the device up. We are also yet to see how the Padfone 2 will compete with the upcoming LG Optimus G in Europe too.



The Padfone 2 is powered by a beefy 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) chipset with Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB of RAM. This awe-inspiring chip helps the Padfone 2 run Ice Cream Sandwich with absolute ease. Naturally, an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is planned, too.
