Samsung registered the name Galaxy Camera earlier this year, and ever since, the rumor mill has been abuzz with speculation of the Korean company offering an Android-based camera. Today at IFA, the Galaxy Camera has finally been unveiled to the public, and the device - which looks conspicuously similar to the Galaxy S III - certainly packs in a decent punch.
Samsung has finally showcased the long-awaited sequel to its popular niche product, the Galaxy Note, and although the first iteration wasn't exactly lacking in the hardware department, the Korean company has still managed to pack in a host of healthy upgrades.
When it comes to satellite navigation systems and software, TomTom is among the most reputable, and although there has been an iPhone TomTom app for a good couple of years now, those running Google's Android mobile operating system have been left out in the cold.

While Nokia's own Symbian mobile OS has crumbled into relative obscurity, the Finnish company's decision to hop aboard the Windows Phone bandwagon has proved relatively successful so far. The Lumia devices proved to be a big hit with consumers opting for WP7, and naturally, the onus is now on Nokia to deliver again with Windows Phone 8, which will release alongside the main star of the show, Windows 8, on October 26th.
We all know how powerful mobile smartphones are, a trait that not only applies to the advanced hardware which companies like Samsung, Apple and HTC ship to the public, but also the advanced operating systems that are installed onto that hardware. Apple's iOS has to be one of the most advanced operating systems available for mobile devices, but although the software itself comes bundled with multiple features and options, it is essentially third-party installations that make the devices what they are.
Although Apple is still floating on a fluffy cloud of victory after the weekend’s verdict in their San Jose trial against Samsung, they will understandably just be wishing that the legal system was simple and straightforward that forced Samsung to pay their dues and allow both companies to move in with minimal fuss. Unfortunately, the world doesn't work that way, and although the nine man jury found in favor of the fruit company in pretty much all of their claims, there are still additional court dates required to determine the next steps for both companies.
The word innovation is something that is being thrown around the mobile computing and smartphone industries at the moment. Although it generally has an extremely positive meaning, it is currently being used in a rather negative context in discussions, or the lack thereof, within Samsung HQ. Not wanting to get bogged down by recent events between Apple and the Korean electronic giants in San Jose, it's probably time to step away from that trial and concentrate on the wonderful things which both companies are attempting to bring to the marketplace.
Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II is only a couple of months away from public release. To raise the excitement level just that little notch higher, the guys at Activision and Treyarch have today announced limited collector’s edition sets for their much awaited upcoming title.
Apple products are among the most frequently-plagiarized across the world, and even though the next-generation iPhone is yet to be announced, the knocker-offers are already hard at work creating devices similar to the upcoming smartphone.
If you enjoy being sociable, catching up on trends or just generally wasting time on the web, then the past week's releases will have been pretty useful to you. Facebook finally pulled its finger out and delivered a decent mobile app (well, at least for iOS), so your social networking can be done at light-speed, and now the new YouTube app for Xbox 360 is said to be up to five-times faster than its predecessor.
