Big Plans For 2011 By Samsung

Jan 13th, 2011

Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung has carved a niche for itself in the mobile market around the world by rolling out value rich handsets. The company which created ripples in the smartphone market by rolling out Samsung Galaxy S, has ambitious plans for 2011. Following the announcement of Google Nexus S, the company plans to sell more smartphones in 2011. Samsung plans to sell around 60 million handsets this year and unveiling of Infuse 4G at CES 2011 in Las Vegas gives a peak about grand plans of the company.

New Version Of Galaxy S

Meanwhile, Samsung has confirmed that it will soon come up with a new version of its highly successful Galaxy S phone. The new version will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2011 which will be held in Barcelona starting from February 14.

According to Samsung officials the new version of Galaxy S will be powered by dual-core processor and will sport a Super AMOLED display. Super AMOLED displays are known to have better readability in sunlight. The new version of the Galaxy S will be running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Notably worldwide the demand for smartphones have witnessed a massive rise, thanks to launch of new models and drop in prices.

Rumor: HTC Scorpion and all of its 1.5 Ghz, Android 2.2 goodness headed for Verizon?

by Greg Kumparak on June 3, 2010

Waaay back in February, we told you guys a tale of the HTC Scorpion, a mighty beast of a phone. Packing Android 2.2 and a 1.5 Ghz (!) processor, it could very well be the phone that everyone lusts over after their love for the current king, the EVO 4G, tapers.

Take it as you will for now, but we just got a heads up from a generally well-informed source that the Scorpion is headed for…. [insert drumroll here]

Verizon!

Here’s the weird part: when we initially heard about the Scorpion, we were lead to believe that it’d tout support for WiMax — which, for those who don’t obsess over gadgets and doodad’s, is Sprint’s fourth generation. Verizon is basing their 4G network on LTE, instead.

The news comes by way of the growingly infamous ROM hacker, conflipper. He seems pretty confident in the idea that the Scorpion is Verizon-bound — so what’s going on here? Might the Scorpion come in two flavors — or was the original leaked Scorpion profile just taken too literally?

Rob Glaser Defines the Superphone and Predicts the Mobile Future

By Stacey Higginbotham Mar. 10, 2010, 5:08pm PST

The future of media will be information consumed on superphones while on the go, said Rob Glaser, chairman of RealNetworks, today in his first public speech since stepping down from his CEO position. In the speech, given in Seattle at a Mobile Broadband Breakfast event, he forecast that by 2013 the installed base of smart and superphones (see chart for Glaser’s definition of each) will exceed the installed base of PCs, and those web-surfing devices will be mobile. In this world he sees five big opportunities:

People want digital persistence: They have an expectation that their content will be available everywhere at any point in time.
People want universal access to content across all devices.
The industry needs to make discovery easy, which means once people have access to digital content, they need to be able to find their stuff and new stuff they will like using semantic data.
There will be new ways to empower social expression and engagement, much in the same way Twitter created a new category of expression and a way to communicate.
The digital revolution will be a global phenomenon.

LG’s LU2300 Superphone Due Next Quarter

The SuperPhone — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:47:00 GMT

Looks like LG is ready to start rolling out their Android-based superphones. Next up for the handset maker is their touch-onlyLU2300. Featuring a Snapdragon processor, 5 megapixel camers, Tv-Tuner, WVGA AMOLED screen and Android 2.1, it sounds almost exactlylike a Nexus One. LG is also taking steps to preload a few applicatio

ns on the handset for customers whereas in the past they left it up to the user.

The LU2300 is due sometime in the second quarter. Other specs,including the memory, are unknown but we're sure to see them trickleout before long.

Google CEO: “60,000 Android Devices a Day”

Google CEO: “60,000 Android Devices a Day”

Posted: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:54:13 +0000

In a keynote speech at Mobile World Congress, Google CEO Eric Schmidt gave us a glimpse into exactly how many Android phones are moving right now.

"We are now shipping more than 60,000 Android devices in the Android industry per day and that number has doubled over the last quarter. The growth rate is accelerating and we hope the growth rate, as well as the demand, will continue for a very long time." - Eric Schmidt

We've been hearing for the last year or so how Android keeps growing and gaining on other platforms. Whether it's AdMob, Flurry, or another company telling us, we hadn't heard any hard numbers. Up until now, it's all estimates and guesswork. At the current pace, this equates to nearly 22 million Android phones poised to ship in 2010. What happens when we factor in all the new devices announced at MWC in addition to those still considered rumors?

Over 100 Different Android Phone Choices in 2010

The SuperPhone — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:21:44 GMT

There are already over 100 different Android phone choices worldwide scheduled to be made available in 2010 after the recent announcements at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt declared today at the Mobile World Congress keynote that Google and their hardware partners are now shipping 60,000 Android handsets each day.

That would total almost 22 million Android handsets a year which is in line with iPhone’s historical yearly sales.

Surely this trend will increase for Android as approximately 50 Android phones are currently on the market and that number will at least double by the end of this year based on the Android phones reported to be coming out as tracked here at GoogleAndBlog.
