Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Photos Leaked


An.droid Life has exclusively leaked the first images of the new Galaxy Tab 7.7, which is expected to be announced at IFA next week. There aren’t many details on the new device, except the fact it uses a 30-pin connector to charge like the Galaxy Tab 1o.1. How can we tell the difference between this and the 10.1? The 7.7 is charging on the side/small panel, while the 10.1 is on the bottom. Also, the device is rumored to be packing a Super AMOLED screen. Only time will tell, so stick with us next week as we cover IFA. Yeah, we’ll be there!

Motorola Defy+ gets officially announced

Today has surely been one busy day for the folks at Motorola Mobility. Shortly after their company's acquisition by Google became news, they found some extra time to announce their latest droid in their already colorful lineup - the Motorola Defy+.


As the name of the device suggests, the Motorola Defy+ is closely related to the original Motorola Defy, which we came to know well. This time however, the device got a number of updated features, which are bound to keep it attractive throughout 2011.
The most notable changes in the Motorola Defy+ are the new 1GHz CPU, Android's latest Gingerbread 2.3 OS, and a larger 1700mAh battery. Interestingly enough, the Google OS is still dressed in MOTOBLUR.




The device has gotten even tougher than its predecessor and can prove it by a certification for covering the IP67 water, dust, scratch, and drop resistance standards. In plain language, this means that the device will handle any normal daily use and abuse without breaking any sweat. How far it can go in this department, we are yet to see.
The Motorola Defy+ will launch in Germany first, with a retail price of €269 - not a bad price for a rugged droid with practically no alternatives at the moment. Hit the source link for the full PR and tell us how you like the new Moto in the comments section below.

More Reports On Dual CDMA-GSM Capability Of Apple's Next iPhone


There were several reports in the past concerning Apple's next iPhone, the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S, especially regarding its alleged upcoming dual CDMA-GSM capabilities.

Latest reports seem to confirm the already existing rumors with some more as Macotakara writes about the iPhone 4S, to be produced in August and launched in September-October, as a hybrid GSM-CDMA. It will reportedly be based on Verizon's current iPhone 4 and will sport a SIM card slot -- yes, we've also heard rumors of no SIM slots but the usage of e-SIMs.

The new iPhone will also allegedly have a smaller front facing Facetime camera hole, "more narrow front receiver slit" and an additional antenna for WiFi N band of 5GHz. It would make sense for Apple to only manufacture one version of the iPhone and not two (a CDMA and a GSM variant) but still, as information is concerned, it is still to be filed under R.
