drag2share: Samsung Series 7 laptop now available for pre-order at Best Buy

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/samsung-series-7-laptop-now-available-for-pre-order-at-best-buy/

About a month ago, we got handsy with a certain 15.6-inch Samsung Series 7 laptop. Now, it appears that svelte, quad-core notebook's ready to flood the mass marketplace. Up for pre-order on Best Buy, Sammy's 4G WiMAX-enabled entry for the "design conscious" will cost you about $880 -- already chopped down from its near $1,000 price tag. For that handful of Benjamins, you can look forward to a 2.2GHz Core i7-2675QM, a 1600 x 900 HD matte display, 750GB of storage, 6GB of DDR3 RAM, a couple of USB 3.0 ports, an optical disk drive and Windows 7 Home pre-installed. If you were hoping to get your game on, then we'd advise you to hold out for the company's other Series 7 family member slated to hit this fall. You can get a head start on the anorexic goods by hitting up the source link below.

drag2share: Survey finds BlackBerry developers still profitable, Android Market as the store to watch

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/survey-finds-blackberry-developers-still-profitable-android-mar/

Although the BlackBerry app store may be missing a favorite app or ten, according to a report from Evans Data Corp., developers are still making money by creating apps for the OS. Although the survey feels a bit narrow in scope (just 400 working developers were polled), 13 percent of 'Berry devs said they make $100,000 or more per app -- which according to the data collectors -- is "considerably more than Android or iOS developers." So why isn't everyone dropping what they're doing to develop for RIM's OS? The problems seemed to outweigh the allure of cold, hard cash. 37 percent said app visibility was the biggest issue with the store, while others griped about the approval process and heavy restrictions. Developers were equally unenthusiastic about BlackBerry's future, as only 4.8 percent predicted it would have the top market share two years from now -- 30.2 percent went with Android and 28.4 percent voted Apple's App Store. Check out the full report at the source.

drag2share: T-Mobile reveals HTC Amaze 4G, flaunts better camera and faster HSPA+

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/t-mobile-reveals-htc-amaze-4g-flaunts-better-camera-and-fas/

Europe may be enjoying the Sensation XE, but today at Mobilize, T-Mobile's announced that it's getting the exclusive on HTC's Amaze 4G ($259.99 on a two-year contract), while also confirming the hardware whispers we've heard. With its 4.3-inch qHD screen and 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, it's one of the first smartphones able to connect to T-Mobile's upgraded 4G (HSPA+ 42Mbps) network and is the first HTC phone featuring an NFC chip -- something we didn't gather from those early spy-shots, but the manufacturer promised a while ago.

Pushing its photography credentials, the Amaze 4G's eight megapixel shooter can record 1080p video, with a dedicated camera button (and even a direct-to-camcorder button) to make the most of the handset's promised "zero shutter lag." Its also got that backlit sensor found in its sibling, the myTouch 4G Slide, so we're expecting admirable low-light performance, too. On the software side, it's running Android 2.3.4, coated in the inevitable Sense veneer and supporting the likes of HTC Watch and T-Mobile TV. Will it be enough to steal the network's king of Android crown away from the Galaxy S II when it ships October 12th? You tell us, as you check the PR after the break.

drag2share: T-Mobile makes Galaxy S II official at Mobilize: ships on October 12th for $230

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/t-mobile-makes-galaxy-s-ii-official-at-mobilize-ships-on-octobe/

Samsung might have already announced T-Mobile's variant of the Galaxy S II, but here at Mobilize the carrier's gone and revealed all the nitty-gritty details. We can now confirm that the 4.52-inch smartphone wields a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, eschewing Sammy's 1.2GHz Exynos found on its other stateside brethren. And much like the just announced Amaze 4G, it'll be one of the first phones to take advantage of the carrier's 42Mbps HSPA+ and T-Mobile TV functionality. The TouchWiz-covered, Gingerbread 2.3.5-sportin' superphone can be yours on October 10th for $229.99 (after a $50 mail in rebate) from Deutsche Telekom's website, or in stores and select dealers on the 12th. Stay tuned for an impending hands-on -- you can bide time by eying the PR after the break, or having a look at the gallery below.

drag2share: T-Mobile Sonic 4G Mobile HotSpot bringing OLED display, HSPA+ connectivity this October

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/t-mobile-sonic-4g-mobile-hotspot-bringing-oled-display-hspa-co/

It feels like just yesterday that we saw T-Mobile's original 4G Mobile HotSpot at CTIA (our review is here), and already the purgatory-presiding US carrier is ushering out a successor. Alongside the Galaxy S II and Amaze 4G, the Sonic 4G Mobile HotSpot is being revealed at Mobilize, and it's hailed as the carrier's fastest ever in the category. Predictably, it'll enable five WiFi devices to hop onto T-Mob's HSPA+ 42 network, and there's a microSD card slot for handling file transfers. The wow factor comes courtesy of the embedded OLED indicator display, which shows signal strength, number of devices connected, number of unread text messages, connectivity to the internet, battery level and network connection type. Lips are zipped on pricing, but it'll be available at your nearest Magenta retailer next month.

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/asus-announces-trio-of-new-e-series-all-in-one-pcs/

It's already been a fairly busy month for ASUS, but it's not done just yet -- the company has now announced three new E- Series all-in-one PCs, one of which is available starting today. That would be the 23.6-inch ET2410, which starts at $899 and packs your choice of second-gen Intel Core processors, up to a 1TB hard drive, a max 8GB of DDR3 memory, a Blu-ray drive and an HDMI input that'll let you use it as a display for your game console or other devices (it's also conveniently wall-mountable). Those same basic specs also extend to the 21.5-inch ET2210 and 27-inch ET2700, which are set to roll out in October and November, respectively, although there's no word on pricing for those just yet. Check out the gallery below for a closer look at the ET2410.

drag2share: The Google-Powered, Digital Dead Sea Scrolls are a History Buff's Dream [Google]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5843790/the-google-powered-digital-dead-sea-scrolls-are-a-history-buffs-dream

The Google-Powered, Digital Dead Sea Scrolls are a History Buff's DreamFive of the Dead Sea Scrolls—the world's oldest biblical documents—are now viewable online as searchable, high-resolution images thanks to Google. Talk about some priceless Google Docs.

The scrolls are available in the Israel Museum's online collections just a year after the project started. Developed in partnership with Google the website allows users to dive into the 2,000 year old documents—literally. The images are 1,200 megapixes, which is huge enough to zoom until you can see minuscule cracks in the parchment. Thanks to Google's technology, the scrolls are also easy to navigate. The images load crazy fast and navigate with a smooth slider. Phrases from the documents even turn up in Google search results that will take you to directly to your favorite passage from the early-Christian era. Rejoice! [The Telegraph]

drag2share: Leaked AMD roadmap reveals Q1 2012 launch for Trinity APU

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/leaked-amd-roadmap-reveals-q1-2012-launch-for-trinity-apu/

Some leaked AMD presentation slides are doing the rounds and they look just about arcane enough to be genuine. Assuming they are, and bearing in mind that they're already a few months old, then the key news is that the Trinity APU could swing into full production as early as January. This successor to the immensely successful Llano range of mobile APUs will be based on "Piledriver" CPU cores, which themselves are variants of the Bulldozer cores in AMD's imminent desktop refresh. Suddenly that Llano-powered laptop you've been ogling doesn't look like such an obvious purchase. Check out the gallery below for more slides, including intriguing references to post-Trinity "Kaveri" and "Kabini" APUs planned for 2013.


[Thanks, Alexandre]
