Just like Apple’s iPad Samsung has also launched its new Samsung Galaxy Tab. Although from the looks it looks pretty promising but let’s see how it is better or inferior to Apple’s iPad.

As far as the body and looks are concerned the Samsung Galaxy has a sleek and stylish figure, having 16:9 7-inch screen which is so good for watching movies and videos. It seems to be perfect portable multimedia device. And unlike iPad it is not cumbrous and is light weight, perfect for playing games.

In terms of functionality, it offers more than that of iPad. The cameras are both on front and at the back, the rear one being 3 megapixels which is 3 megapixels more than the iPad. Of course, you need to have a reasonable memory and for that the Samsung Galaxy offer expandable memory unit with micro SD cards which leads up to 32 GB, economical and worth having.

It also offers voice calling, though it can’t replace cell phones but it ideal for video conversations and video conferences.

One thing that is the most important is the finishing and the strength of any gadget and for Samsung Galaxy it has both the qualities. When in hand it feels like some hardcore gadget with a good solid finishing. The Samsung Galaxy Tablet will be hitting the UK markets soon, probably around October and the prices are still unknown.

Apple has upgraded its misc jukebox, on this Wednesday Apple announced iTunes 10 major improvement to its media management software and music jukebox. Basically, this upgraded iTunes 10 is aimed to be a social networking element with the purpose to aid helpers discovering new music genre.

The Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs elaborated the functioning of this new social network which has been called Ping. Just like other social networks such as facebook, twitter, orkut, myspace and many other, Ping is also a social networking component that allows the user to log on to their favorite artists, their albums and most of all your friends. Artists can also get connected with their fans via iTunes Store page. Like most of other social networking sites, you can organize your own friends circle, can also buy and listen to the stuff and can see what your friends doing. Post your statuses, opinions and do whatever you want to.

Ping will be made available on the iPhone and iPod touch sooner and a new button in the iTunes Store application will appear. More over the iTunes 10 has got a new hybrid view that arranges in the same way as in music columns.

If you didn’t get an invitation to Apple’s September 1^st music themed event, worry not because you can still watch it live streamed. According to the Apple’s officials the press conference will be released live streamed at 10AM PT, pretty cool and innovative.

You can log on to live video from Apple.com, but there are some restrictions to it. Those who possess Apple goodies are only allowed and are able to watch that live streamed press conference. Here a bit for viewing press release you need to have either of these things Mac® running Safari® on Mac OS®X version 10.6 Snow Leopard®, an iPhone® or iPod touch® running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad™.

So why putting such restriction and why only Mac users could log on to live video stream? There is a logical explanation for this restriction. According to some bits on internet, the live stream that Apple will broadcast will be of internally developed HTTP Live Streaming Protocol which would require either a Mac running Safari on Mac OS X version 10.6, an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or higher or an iPad. Apple’s latest technology which is Apple’s multimedia player and framework called QuickTime X will be used in live streamed protocol. There are number of benefits of it and among those one is that it makes it easier for the broadcasters to use a standard Web server rather than using special media server.

The most highly awaited and anticipated Apple’s iPhone 4 white, and yet the release date of that has been delayed. The postponed has raised a number of rumors, some may be true some may be not, and questions. Among the rumors one say that iPhone 3 white shall be released somewhere in September, according to the Business Week reports.

The release date is said to be 30^th of September. Apple is also giving away iPhone 4 bumper deal and will end on 30^th of September; the reports say that the delayed date is interlinked with the white iPhone 4, say Business Week predictions.

Apple’s iPhone 4 white version is anticipated to be available nearer or on that exact date. Furthermore, the reports also say that by September 30^th, unlike the iPhone 4 black, the company would have come up with a solution of antenna problem which was complained by the iPhone 4 black users.

As for now, these are all rumors and the authenticity of all reports will come to know on that date. According to a Chinese website Applepro.com few pictures of the iPhone white has been manifested, although it is equivocal about the legitimacy of those pictures. All we can do for now is to wait and also wait for any official announcements from the Apple officials.

When you talk of android phones, there’s one phone that stands out.

The Google Nexus one is without a doubt, the Top Android phone in the market.

The phone has features which makes it very compatible with Google apps.

One of the remarkable features of Google Nexus One Android phone is the comfort by which you could use the phone.

If you don’t have a Google account, you are advised to have one. Google Nexus one Android phone gives a user, the best experience, with a Google account.

If you are a first time user, the Nexus one would ask you your Google account. As soon as you feed your Google account, the phone takes care of everything your Google account is associated with, right from your mail to contacts.

Google nexus one runs on Android 2.1 and that is what makes it the Top most Android phone available right now.

If you have one Android phone capable of matching an Apple’s iphone, or even beating iphone in terms of design, then it has to be Google Nexus one.

Though, if you buy Android Google nexus one, you should not load your Android phone with too many Non-Google apps, your phone may not be absolutely compatible with non Google applications.

Now that is some news, Verizon patch up with Apple has been doing rounds in the gadget world for quite some time.

Though, both Apple and Verizon had kept on denying the fact for considerable period of time that they have any plans to come up with any kind of collaboration to launch an iphone, but recent turn of events has shown otherwise.

A Verizon iphone is imminent, and reports have indicated that a Verizon iphone could see an early January launch in the year 2011.

There are many reasons to believe that Apple has been shaping to tie up with Verizon to come out with an iphone.

Firstly, apple was seeking a million units of Qualcomm CDMA chipsets, and it is also confirmed that Steve Jobs had finally ordered for more than a million units of a rare CDMA chips, which is scheduled to be tried on a Verizon iphone.

This reports cannot be completely untrue, and there are also indications that Apple has decided to not get fully dependent on one single handset, and get bogged down, if in case, the demand for phones get skyrocketed.

Therefore, it is always better to lay your eggs in more than one basket, and if one falls, you could be assured that other eggs remained safe in other baskets.

Still, the launch dates could vary as it was seen with Apple’s White Iphone 4, but Apple seems to be very interested to make sure that Verizon iphone, or a White iphone 4 gets underway as soon as possible.

It has taken them years, but Apple has finally overtaken fierce rivals Microsoft in becoming the biggest technology business in the world. The end of market trading on Wednesday 26th May 2010 left Apple combined share value at $222bn, whilst Microsoft stood at $219bn. Although the company is now officially worth more then Microsoft, the transition to being the most profitable is still some distance away. In the most recent accounts produced by the two companies, Microsoft’s profits were a massive $14.5bn whilst Apple was way behind with $5.7bn.

Another huge boost for Apple was the massive sales of the iPad. They released a statement announcing sales of over 2 million units, reaching the milestone faster then the iPhone by over 6 months. The trend and momentum seems to be swinging in Apple’s favor, with new products being released every few years which, normally, turn out to be ground breaking inventions. If they continue to dominate the MP3 and Phone markets we can soon expect to see Apple become one of the top earning business in the world.

They also have several other streams of revenue with iTunes continuing to grow and more and more Top iPod Apps being developed all the time. Music sales are also increasing, with the cut back on illegal downloading continuing to increase the market share for Apple.

Hope you got your iPad already pre-ordered because Apple has pushed back the shipping date for all new orders to April 12th. It’s really not that surprising seeing as there have been reports stating Apple may already have 500,000 iPads in the bag. It might be quicker at this point to start camping Apple Stores or Best Buy if you *must* have an iPad the moment it’s released. We know that retail outlets will at least have a small supply on April 3 to serve the Apple faithful. This only applies to the WiFi iPad , actually. The 3G flavor doesn’t come out until later in April anyway and those haven’t seen shipping delays just yet. Although they could! So quick, Appletards, give Steve Jobs your credit card number and reserve your place in the lemmings line.

First round of iPads sold out, new pre-orders ship April 12th

It looks like, come launch day , you’ll only be able to buy the iPad at retail from the Apple Store or from Best Buy. Who buys things from stores anymore, I wonder. But despite the inconceivable amount of hype accompanying the iPad, Best Buy cannot be bothered to open early . Sorry, mate. Best Buy will have several SKUs available in its stores on launch day (all except the 3G one, of course, which comes out a few weeks later), but don’t think you’ll be able to stroll on in come 6am. Best Buy, owing to its de-facto monopoly on retail iPad availability—plenty of small towns have a Best Buy, but how many have an Apple Store?—won’t be opening up early to sell Apple’s latest toy. Nope: you’re going to have to wait till normal business hours to pick one up. Most stores will have iPads in stock at launch, with 675 (out of more than 1,000) stores reporting that they’ll be ready and waiting come April 3.

This is obviously a much older Nano but at $48 for 1GB , I may get this for my Dad so he can listen to Roy Orbison albums. Again, not amazingly great but $48? Pretty good. Never before has something so small held so many possibilities. The 1 GB Apple iPod nano holds up to 240 songs and will display full color album art and photos. It also handles Podcasts, Audiobooks, Games, clocks, contacts and calendars. All in an iPod that weighs less than a single CD case. Now that’s huge.

It also features a 1.5″ bright LCD screen, the Apple Click Wheel, and a Dock connector that fits an entire ecosystem of iPod accessories.
