Samsung announces the Galaxy S (Player) WiFi 4.2 at MWC

Daniel Cooper

In all the other MWC bombast, you might have missed that Samsung's added another member to its humble Galaxy S WiFi (Galaxy Player) PMP-lineup. This version packs a 4.2-inch WVGA (480 x 800) screen, runs Gingerbread 2.3 and has dual cameras (2-megapixels 'round back and VGA for video calls). Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0 and WiFI 802.11 b/g/n round out your connectivity and you'll also find it toting a 1,500mAh battery. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is bundled bundled as standard, which is great for some illegal street-racing on the go. It'll come in 8 and 16GB variants, with the usual microSD card slot for that extra 32GB of space when required. No word on pricing or availability, but we'd imagine it won't head too far past the $250 mark.

How would you change Samsung's Galaxy Player 4.2?

www.engadget.com Daniel Cooper 109 days ago

Last year, we asked you to examine Samsung's Galaxy Player 4.0, and your comments clustered around three trends -- better audio, better build and any OS that wasn't called Gingerbread. The Galaxy Player 4.2, therefore, offers audio that just isn't loud enough, a skinned version of Gingerbread and the sense that it was thrown together from leftover smartphone parts. As our reviewer judged, it's not a bad piece of kit, but one that was honed into being utterly mediocre. If you bought one, then it's time to play amateur PMP designer and tell us if you agree with our staff audiophile. What did y... Read similar

Earlier this week. AT&T announced it had activated 10 million smartphones in the holiday quarter. Not to be outdone, Verizon chimed in with own figures in an SEC filing that suggests it activated 9.8 million smartphones during the last three months of the year. Though Verizon has an Android-dominated lineup of smartphones, the carrier did say it activated a "higher mix of Apple smartphones" this time around. This boost is likely due to the iPhone 5 which hit retail shelves in the second half of 2012 and a price-reduced iPhone 4S. [Via The Verge and ZDnet]Verizon announces 9.8 million sma... Read similar

I use my iPhone a lot to listen to music and podcasts in my car -- I connect it right up to my car stereo, and it's my main listening source while driving around LA. As a result, I really wish there were more options to control my music while driving around. Music- and podcast-streaming app Stitcher has introduced a new feature along these lines they're calling Car Mode, which is basically just a simplified interface with large, clear controls, so you can choose and play your music easily.

U.S. Cellular announces iPhone availability later in 2013

www.tuaw.com Steven Sande 21 days ago

As the old aphorism goes, "better late than never." In this case, that's true for U.S. Cellular, which today announced as part of its quarterly earnings report that it will begin carrying Apple products later this year.That may make U.S. Cellular the last major US carrier to offer the iPhone to its customers. The big four -- AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile -- all carry iPhones, and smaller carriers TracFone and Leap Wireless/Cricket also offer the iPhone to customers.

XMG Studios announces Evil Empire, Hero, and one more at Macworld

www.tuaw.com Mike Schramm 112 days ago

Just as they were last year, XMG Studios is on the floor of Macworld/iWorld 2013 in San Francisco. XMG has three new games to talk about that aren't playable just yet, but should be released this year. XMG's Lydia Schaele told us about a big title called Evil Empire. It's darker and more stylistic than older XMG games like Cows vs. Aliens and last year's Ghostbusters title. Evil Empire is a military combat strategy game set in an alternate reality during the Cold War, in which the USSR is more powerful than it was at the time. In this wild, propaganda-filled setting, an alien creature lands ... Read similar

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 43 days ago

Samsung surprised us this morning with the announcement of the Galaxy Mega, a giant 6.3-inch smartphone that will go on sale in Europe this year. For a little perspective, the Mega is a little larger than Samsung's Galaxy Note II phablet, which has a 5.5-inch screen and it's a full two inches larger than the iPhone 5. But the Mega is still a bit smaller than Samsung's new iPad Mini competitor, the Galaxy Note 8.0. The Mega will also come in a slightly smaller 5.8-inch model. Take this new phone as evidence that Samsung isn't ready to stop experimenting with massive screen sizes. Tak... Read similar

Paradox Interactive has been primarily a PC gaming studio. It has enjoyed success on Steam with titles like Magicka and Europa Universalis.

There are quite a few "sandbox" games available on iOS, including the uber-popular Minecraft, and Majic Jungle's great Blockheads.

Asus Announces An Absurdly Large 7-Inch Android Phone

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 88 days ago

Asus announced a new Android phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today, the Fonepad. It has a 7-inch display, which is the same size as popular tablets like the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD. It's bizarre. It's confusing. And you'd probably look pretty odd holding this thing up to you face to make calls. But it exists. There's no word on a launch date or pricing for the U.S. In fact, it seems like the Fonepad may only launch overseas. By the way, this isn't the only absurdly large phone announced at MWC this week.
