Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G: #1 Bestselling Smartphone at Amazon


The Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G is exclusive to the Sprint WiMAX 4G wireless broadband network, and currently retails for $99 at select Sprint authorized retailers with a standard two-year activation. The Epic Touch 4G is the first Samsung Galaxy  S II to make it to US shores after its successful run in Asia and Europe. When Samsung was working on contractual obligations with the major US wireless carriers, many of those carriers wanted to differentiate their handset from the many other overseas and US versions. Sprint had Samsung make several physical changes, and those changes seem to have paid off.
Buy the Samsung Epic  Touch 4G starting at only $99, and in addition, if you activate your mobile hotspot service at the time of purchase, you will receive a free $100 Amazon gift card.
The Epic Touch 4G was recently awarded Best New Mobile Device of 2011 in Chicago at the 4G World Conference which is the largest Expo in the world dedicated specifically to 4G technology. And the Epic Touch 4G’s popularity has helped Samsung moved ahead of Apple as the worldwide leader in smartphone units shipped. Though Sprint did have several physical changes made to the handset, they wisely kept the display technology, camera set, and other hardware specs that have led to sales of over 30 million units for the Samsung Galaxy  S II global.
Android’s 2.3.4 Gingerbread operating system is present out-of-the-box, and the Samsung Epic Touch 4Gmeasures 5.11 x 2.74 x 0.38 inches (130 x 70 x 10 mm) and weighs 4.60 ounces (130 g), both about average for a 4G handset. The display on board is a 4.52 inch capacitive multitouch screen that gives the Epic Touch 4G one of the larger displays for a smartphone. The above-mentioned Super AMOLED Plus display technology is on board, and delivers 16 million color rendering and 480 x 800 pixel resolution. Standard light and proximity sensors are built into the display.
Talk time from a single charge of the 1800 mAh battery runs 8.70 hours, and standby time is 11 days in the hardware package. As mentioned above, Sprint also decided to keep with those hardware components that were evidenced in the original. The Epic Touch 4G contains an Exynos chip set, a dual core 1.2 GHz processor paired with a Mali 400MP GPU. 16 GB of onboard storage is present, and 1.0 GB of RAM memory rounds out the hardware set. A microSD slot is built in to allow for storage expansion.
Buy the Samsung Epic Touch 4G starting at only $99 and since this is a hotspot ready smartphone, you will be eligible to participate in the ‘Stay Connected’ promotion that offers a free $100 Amazon gift card as a gift with purchase.
The dual camera set is a familiar combo for the Epic Touch 4G, employing a rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder and front facing 2.0 megapixel chat cam. That rear snapper contains an LED flash and video light, and offers autofocus, panorama and smile detection features, capturing video in 1080P HD resolution. That front facing chat cam can also place video calls, and records video in 720P HD. Learn more in our detailed

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is now American Airlines in-flight entertainment


American Airline flights are about to get even better with some quality entertainment to go along with those honey roasted peanuts. We reported earlier this year that Samsung and AA had agreed to offer the Samsung Galaxy Tablets to select planes and passengers for in-flight fun, or in-flight Angry Birds and now they’ve officially started just that.
Starting today, passengers that are flying first or business class will no longer have to sit and stare at others while reaching for the air controls overhead — instead they’ll be handed a shiny and powerful dual-core powered Galaxy Tab 10.1 by the nearest flight attendant.
During this initial rollout starting today, customers can choose from over 70 movies, including 30 new releases, with three titles exclusive to American from Paramount. Not to mention a wide array of TV shows and even audio selections for easy listening while they casually nap up in first class. They will also be receiving Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones on request.
According to the official statement AA has a custom user interface that will overlay the standard Android experience to allow quick, easy, and user friendly navigation to all the content. Or to stop everyone from doing anything else on these here tablets. Many JFK and LAX flights will be the first to enjoy this new level of entertainment as the rollout slowly hits others nationwide.

Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus Simulator webpage goes live


We are still waiting for any sort of official announcement from Verizon that this phone is actually launching this week, but at least they are dropping us a few small hints. Verizon has just released a “simulator” page that allows users to basically experience the Samsung Galaxy Nexus from within a browser. Yes this is neat — but I’d really just like the phone please.
With Big Red’s moment to make an announcement slowly disappearing this week we have been getting tips and reports that the device is still set to launch tomorrow, December 15th. We’ve also had a few tips suggesting Friday instead but obviously nothing is confirmed. We could see a silent launch with device being available at stores and retailers at the expected times but I can’t imagine them not going forward with any advertising — although it doesn’t have the word DROID in the title.
While we continue to tap our feet and patiently wait for Verizon to officially announce something users can be relieved to know that Verizon is at least getting ready. With this site going live and retail stores nationwide receiving shipments all week long the day is coming — we just sadly still don’t fully know when that day will be. Hopefully we’ll be running down to our nearest Verizon store tomorrow morning to pick one up. Either way we’ll know soon.
