Samsung's Super AMOLED Tablet Said To Be Called the S-Pad [Tablets]
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5530475/samsungs-super-amoled-tablet-said-to-be-called-the-s+pad
That display does sound intriguing. Samsung's super AMOLED screens are said to be five times brighter than the average LCD, and will perform 20 per cent better when used outside. Anyone who's struggled when reading a text outside will know how crucial Samsung's technology could prove.
The S-Pad is firmly in rumor-camp at the moment, though South Korean network SK Telecom is said to be offering it exclusively in the country. It'll measure 7-inches, and the ebooks will come from Kyobo Books, which is South Korea's largest chain of bookstores.
These rumors come after the Australian marketing manager for Samsung accidentally let slip that a tablet would appear later in the year, blabbing he thinks "the legs need to be far more powerful, for example an Atom-based product which has far greater flexibility, not to mention inputs and outputs."

Rumor: 8MP Motorola Shadow To Be Droid2 [Android]

This comes after Nokia dropped its N8-shaped bomb last week, a 12MP-equipped, 720p-shooting phone. There may be a few extra megapixels on the N8, but the Shadow has one massive feature going for it—Android. Specifically, Android 2.2, known as Froyo.
The Shadow has resurfaced this week as it's been submitted to the Wi-Fi Alliance, with specs such as the 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, mini HDMI output, and 512MB memory leaking out. [Ameblo via PhoneDog via Recombu]
SandForce makes SSDs cheaper, faster, more reliable -- just how IBM likes it

We've been covering the progression of SandForce for over a year now, creator of smart SSD processors that extend the life of flash storage by better spreading writes across them, boosting performance and reliability along the way. This, according to the company, makes them reliable enough for enterprise use, and IBM has added its vote of support, configuring a 9189 Power 780 server with 56 177GB SSDs (10.5TB in all) sitting behind SandForce's SF-1500 processor. That combination, when running the TPC-C benchmark, delivered a performance of 150,000 transactions per minute per CPU core. That's 50 percent higher (per-core) than other entries in the TPC-C benchmark -- and considerably cheaper, too. IBM's configuration is set to be available around October of this year, perhaps ushering in a new era of the platter-free enterprise.SandForce makes SSDs cheaper, faster, more reliable -- just how IBM likes it originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 03 May 2010 09:56:00 EST.

Internet Explorer market share falls below 60 percent for first time, according to NetApplications
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/internet-explorer-market-share-falls-below-60-percent-for-first/
NetApplications has just released its browser market share stats for the month of April, and there is something notable here: Internet Explorer has fallen to a "historic low" of 59.95 percent market share, losing about 0.69 points since last month. Google's Chrome continues its assault on Safari, reaching a 6.73 percent share (while Safari nabbed 4.72). Of course, Internet Explorer is still so far ahead of the rest of the pack it's hard to make these losses -- however significant -- into a tragedy of epic proportions story for Microsoft, so we're not going to do that. Keep in mind, as well, that NetApplications is not the only measurement of market share -- and StatCounter, by comparison, currently estimates IE's share at about 51.42 percent. Hit up the source link for the full battery of data.

Know what's hot like 2001? Tablet computers. Just like that a product category has been reborn and proven viable as a money making machine. Now the scramble is on to fill the void by companies big and small. Samsung, a big name in the UMPC debacle (that's the Q1 to the right) with its own confirmed tablet ambitions, looks prepped to deliver product this summer if Korean pub Etnews is to be believed. First up, the OS: Android. Samsung's so-called "S-Pad" (the tentative name spawned under its S-Project initiative) will display Google's smartphone OS on a supposed 7-inch Super AMOLED display with WiFi and 3G data connectivity -- the latter supplied by SK Telecom who will supposedly help distribute the device. It'll also bring an iPad-esque USB dock and content from Kyobo books (Korea's largest bookstore) and Samsung's own Samsung Apps application store. If true, we should expect to see Samsung's S-Pad launch in August. While no price has been given you can expect the cost to be exorbitant thanks to that extra large Super AMOLED display unless SK Telecom can push it down through ample subsidies.[Thanks, JH Yee]

World of Warcraft Running On iPad—Streamed [Ipad]
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5529540/world-of-warcraft-running-on-ipadstreamed
Gaikai is a game streaming service currently in beta. It would allow you to play games using a Flash client on any desktop and, apparently, a native client on the iPad (or iPhone, I presume). In theory, an application like this would allow any kind of game to be played in the iPhone OS without going through the App Store payment system, something that is not going to make people in Cupertino happy.
However, before reaching that point, the real question is: How the hell do I control WoW with an iPad? I want video now. [Dperry via Macstories]
