Samsung Galaxy S 4 Mini pricing suggested

Posted on by admin

While we’re looking forward to Samsung’s June 20 London event to get a hands-on with the company’s latest smartphones, one managed to go official a little early, and last week we saw the manufacturer confirm the Galaxy S 4 Mini.

Pocketnow Weekly 046: Tablet Z vs TouchPad Go, and other tech podcast tomfoolery

Posted on by admin

We had an interesting bit of synchronicity crop up in the offices of Pocketnow -and in the recording studios of our weekly tech podcast- this week: we’re simultaneously in possession of one of the thinnest, newest tablets in the world – and one of the clunkiest, oldest ones. The interesting part about the latter: it never officially existed.

We’ll also cover rumors of a newer, ...
