Notebook 9 Series from Samsung arrives in Brazil for $ 5000


The first time the ultra-light notebook Samsung's Series 9 made an appearance in South America was in the Samsung Forum 2011, in which the company introduced several products that arrive in the countries of the continent. At the time we did not know when it would arrive or what its price, but its razor thin design anything was already finalized. Today Samsung announced that it arrives in Brazil on Nov. 3.


He will be sold with different specifications, but they said that as a reference to the simplest configuration, it takes an Intel Core i5 second generation, 4GB memory, 128GB SSD, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, will leave for $ 5,000.00. For while the versions with 11.6-inch screen and Intel Core i3 will not be available in Brazil, but should arrive soon.


The second detail is the optical drive on the Series 9. If you've seen the pictures of him will be asking "What optical drive? There is no room for him there. " For this reason Samsung decided to sell the laptop with a drive of this type apart. It is included in the price, but comes out of the box. The drive follows the same style of brushed aluminum finish of the notebook and reads and writes DVDs and CDs

Still on the notebook, Samsung has increased by 0.7 times the battery life since the last time we heard it. Now it lasts 7.7 hours, depending on the configuration of power savings. Know if this is true or not soon as we receive the unit for review.

Samsung wants access to the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 before everyone else

Lawsuits in the area of ​​technology occur as frequently as others. But some of them have different consequences than we are accustomed to seeing. As with the case against Apple, Samsung, filed last month. Last week, Apple asked the court to see  future devices from Samsung. Now Samsung has applied the same principle and asked to see upcoming Apple gadgets.


The order includes a request to see the iPhone 4s or 5, whatever its name, and also iPad 3, which would be the next versions of Apple's handset. But as everyone knows, the existence of such devices for now is just rumor and speculation, since Apple maintains the equipment under a state secret.

If Apple sell, no representative from Samsung will be able to directly see the devices but the company lawyers. They would be responsible for judging whether the similarity of products with the apparatus of the South Korean manufacturer could lead to potential lawsuits in the future, which is the goal of judicial application.

I doubt a little that a lawful order will be enough to make the giant of Cupertino-release devices have not yet advertised for a competitor. Mainly because the mere release them to the lawyers from Samsung is already a confirmation that they are there, something that Apple wants to avoid confirming. But we're talking about the American justice system, then anything is possible.

Samsung Galaxy Tab To Get Android 3.1


Samsung has reigned almost alone in the war against iPad with your original Tab Galaxy last year. In 2011, still preparing to release 10.1 for the tablet, the South Korean company is no longer isolated both in competition to Apple, also with big names like Motorola, LG and even RIM already offer their new models. The solution is then run after the injury and the form was found to provide the factory Android "Honeycomb" already in version 3.1.


Released last week during a conference for developers Google I / O, the update is only present in the tablets currently Xoom, Motorola, and deliver improved performance of the platform and native applications, such as the browser and YouTube. In addition, you can now connect via USB peripherals such as joysticks - including the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The problem is that Samsung was caught by surprise with means for improving the system specially designed for tablets, and this can have consequences. According to rumors, to have the 3.1 version of Android would be necessary to force a slight delay in the promised date of June 8 for the launch of Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the United States.

Anyway, the fact is that the very official site reports that the tablet has come Honeycomb reinforced and profile of the U.S. division of Samsung Twitter corroborated the information. It is unclear, but bet that the same standard will be adopted in Brazil, which will receive the equipment "early in the second half," if everything goes well.

Besides Honeycomb 3.1, the Galaxy has a 10.1 Tab touchscreen 10.1-inch (yes, hence the name) with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, 2 Tegra processor Dual-Core 1 GHz, storage capacity 16 and 32 GB, 1 megapixel camera front and rear 8-megapixel camera with LED flash, video recording Full HD (1080p) and 3G connection and WiFi Even with all this, he promises to be lighter than the iPad 2, 589 g, and thinner, with only 10.99 mm thick. The U.S. price is $ 499, the same as rival Apple.

Review: Samsung 1086 is cheap, very cheap!


Design
A bar of chocolate. This is the best definition of the phone. It is square with rounded corners all rubbery side. It seems to have been done to hit the ground.


The design is pretty simple, but at the same time is pretty good for a phone in this price range. The rubberized keyboard is very comfortable and also is virtually waterproof. Can not get out diving around him, but do not have to worry much about putting it in a bag during a rainstorm.

Features and performance
This unit does not want to even remotely compete with the iPhone, Galaxy S, Droid, and other devices smarter. Rather, it is aimed at people of simple life and who just want a phone to talk to other people.
Taking this into account, gives up to compliment your phone features: FM radio, U-Track and SOS Message. The FM radio has no secrets, just put the headset and access the menu and the radio listening to your favorite station to go to work.

The security features are very interesting. The first and the U-Track, which tracks your phone in case of theft. Fortunately we need not test this function, but it seems to be a great resource for anyone who has had his phone stolen.

The other is the SOS Message. If something happens to you he sends an SMS to a predefined number automatically. It is a feature that nobody wants to use again, but in an emergency is always welcome.

Fake call
Imagine the scenario: You have combined the evening with his girlfriend, but the boss insists on talking about the Poodle him after office hours. If you have a phone like this, just press a few buttons and wait quietly. He will play, you pick out and says it needs, which has a pressing engagement. It's the kind of resource that you will always find useless, unless you need it.
Phone features are just those that. Nothing touch mp3 or camera or bluetooth. It's just the basics for calling and receiving phone calls from friends.

Cost-benefit
A mobile phone that has camera, bluetooth and mp3 ringtones can cost or how much? $ 100? Be aware that this costs much less: it is usually found for free along with another unit and when available for sale, it costs between $ 50.00 and $ 90.00. Cheap, huh?

Samsung Omnia Pro 652 Review


Basic version for a smartphone, the Omnia Pro 652, Samsung is a cheap alternative to cellular in that category.  Ideal for professional use, good performance, but with limited resources, the major advantage of the system are Windows tools, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, among others, which make up the package Office Mobile 2010.


Design

The 2.4-inch display with resolution of 320 by 240 pixels, for being too small, leaves much to be desired, ing the views of the items, which is impaired, and for not being sensitive to the touch. Besides having many options of Windows Mobile on the desktop, confuse the user.

However, the central control knob does the job, promoting the usability of the device, replacing up to a touch screen.

Developed a solid structure, a large square format, though thin in thickness, with dimensions of 117 x 62 x 12 mm, the phone, despite the attention of large size, has a good interface and is easy to handle.

The QWERTY keyboard has a nice usability, with keys well placed and comfortable to optimize typing. Thus, for sending messages, the phone is perfect.

Features
The great advantage of this unit is the Office Suite Mobile 2010, Microsoft, which gives a more professional to use the Omnia Pro 652. In our tests, the loading of Office files had a good and fast performance.

Compatibility with PDF files and GPS also not left out.

The device comes with a music player compatible with MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC +, MP4, WMV9, H.263, H.264 and DivX The experience of listening to music on mobile is very pleasant and audible sound, much to Account Technology Sound Alive, which improves the sound quality in 3D.

The two-megapixel camera has a resolution of bad quality to record how much to take pictures and can not afford to image enhancement and no flash. One negative factor, considering mainly that it is an Omnia smartphone.

The Omnia Pro 652 features Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connectivity and 3G, a microUSB port, 220 MB of internal memory (a great place), expandable to 16 GB of microSD cards. The speed of navigation, because of the processor, it is reasonable and does not crash easily.

Battery

In our tests, the battery of Omnia Pro 652 very disappointed. Away from power, the unit lasted less than 6 hours.
