Samsung Galaxy Note Commercial Shows Us What A Phablet Is All About

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note, News

The massively oversized Samsung Galaxy Note may be an oddity in itself, but one thing is for sure: it's a dang cool oddity. It's huge, fast, the display is vibrant, and comes with a build-in stylus for note-taking and drawing. Sammy is clearly trying to bridge the gap between phones and tablets here, and to be honest with you, it looks like they've done a pretty good job.

To highlight the Note's duality, Sammy just released a new commercial; have a look:

What do you think? Pretty cool, or just another gimmicky device trying to find its way?

While the Galaxy Note still hasn't made its way to US shores (and possibly never will), that hasn't stopped this gargantuan beast from making a name for itself in other areas of the world. It's big, powerful, comes with a built-in stylus, and has an amazing display. What more could you want?

How about a little hack action.

For devs out there looking to work some magic on this tablet-meets-phone hybrid, Sammy just released the kernel source code to the Open Source Developers Center. Grab it while it's hot.

Samsung Unveils The 5.3-inch Galaxy Note With A 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED Display And An "S Pen"

Posted by John Thompson in Galaxy Note, News, Samsung

No, that isn't a typo in the title - Samsung has indeed just unveiled a 5.3-inch phone, the 'Galaxy Note', at IFA 2011 to join the rest of its growing Galaxy family. The insanely big device doesn't just stop there, though, as Samsung has paired it with one of its Super AMOLED displays at a resolution of 1280 x 800. That happens to be the same resolution as my 13-inch laptop, so you get an idea of just how sharp this thing is, with a pixel density of 285ppi.

Running the show from behind the scenes, there is a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.

Samsung Unpacked App Outs Galaxy Tab 7.7 And Galaxy Note, Will Be Officially Unveiled At IFA In Berlin On September 1st

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Applications, News, Samsung

Buried deep within Samsung's Unpacked app is evidence of a few upcoming devices set to be announced at the IFA conference in Berlin, which begins on September 1st. Among the outed devices are two new additions to the Galaxy line, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 and the Galaxy Note.

As you might expect, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will most likely be a 7.7 inch tablet, judging by the naming guidelines set in place by the Tab 10.1 and Tab 8.9. The device will most likely pack similar specs to its big brothers and run Honeycomb 3.2, since it's designed to work well with smaller screens.
