American Airlines Will Issue All 17,000 Of Its Flight Attendants A Samsung Galaxy Note

Posted by in Galaxy Note, News, Samsung

What's the best way to buoy a struggling airline that consistently ranks lowest among its competitors, is in the middle of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy and threatened to fire 11,000 employees just yesterday? Issue every flight attendant with a gadget worth two weeks' salary, of course! American Airlines is proud to announce that they're providing each and every flight attendant with a Samsung Galaxy Note (original), to aid them in quickly and competently gathering passenger data while in the air. American claims that this move is the first of its kind for any airline.

Bitter snark aside, the company's reasons for choosing the Galaxy Note are understandable.

AT&T Galaxy S III Gets Over-The-Air Update (LH9): Adds UI Enhancements, Jelly Bean Still MIA

Posted by in Android OS, AT&T, Galaxy S III, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, News, Samsung

Quick, Galaxy S III users on AT&T: check your device's settings for a new over-the-air download. Just be sure to temper your enthusiasm, because the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update (which we weren't really expecting for another month at least) is nowhere in sight. The latest version of the software is build IMM76D.I747UCALH9, which adds a number of small tweaks that users might find useful.

There's no official change log as of yet, but according to posts on the XDA forums, most of the additions are designed to make the phone a little easier to use. The most obvious change is a brightness slider in the pull-down menu, seen on some previous Samsung devices and quite a few custom ROMs.

Samsung's Newest "Next Big Thing" Ad Is Just Like Last Year's Model, But Slightly Bigger

Posted by in News, Samsung

Last year, Samsung revolutionized parodies of revolutions. Now, they've revolutionized the revolutionizing of making fun of revolutionizing revolutions. The Korean manufacturer has released the newest iteration of its "Next Big Thing" series of ads. This model has 50% more runtime than last year's model. New features include "the iPhone is for your parents," "we've had 4G for a while," and the totally not subtext-laden "my screen is bigger than your screen."

The new 90-second spot will be available tonight on national TV. No word yet on whether the ad will be compatible with current consumer biases, or if users will have to upgrade their snark to take the commercial seriously.

Galaxy Note II With Quad-Core Exynos And LTE Coming To Top Five US Carriers In Time For The Holidays

Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy Note II, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon Wireless

We knew it was happening, but now things are official. The Samsung Galaxy Note II is coming to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. This is going to be a big deal, and not just because this phone is physically massive.

The centerpiece of the Note II is the 5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD panel at 1280x720. This screen uses Wacom inductive technology so you can make use of a pressure-sensitive S Pen, which docks neatly in the body of the phone when you're not using it. Whereas the US Galaxy S III used Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4, the Note II will run Samsung's own Exynos quad-core chip.

Updated Jelly Bean Factory Images Show Up For The Nexus S and Nexus S 4G

Posted by in News, Nexus S (Crespo/Soju), Nexus S 4G (Crespo4g)

Back in July, Google made available the stock Jelly Bean images for a couple of the Nexus S variants, as well as the GSM Galaxy Nexus, and Nexus 7. Today, the build for the global Nexus S (soja) got updated to Android 4.1.1 (JRO03L), and the Nexus S 4G (sojas) Jelly Bean 4.1.1 image (JRO03R) made its way to Google's image download site, as well.

Unfortunately, there's still no sign of Jelly Bean showing up for the Korean version of the Nexus S (or the LTE Galaxy Nexii, for that matter). Sorry, guys - looks like we'll have to keep waiting for those.

[Leak] First Images Of The Verizon Galaxy Note II Show Up Online, And It Has Branded Home Button

Posted by in Galaxy Note II, Leaks, News, Verizon Wireless

We already know that the Galaxy Note II will be making its way to Big Red eventually, and we assumed it would look identical to the international version. And it basically does, according to some leaked images that showed up today. Only, it has Verizon branding in places that no phone should ever have carrier branding of any kind: on the home button. I really hope this is a test design.

It's not that anyone should be ashamed that they're on Verizon, but, personally, I think the huge "Verizon 4G LTE" logo on the back is sufficient branding. Clearly, the folks at Big Red do not share my sentiments.
