Samsung quietly expands its 3D Blu-ray player lineup with a few updated models

Admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:56:00 +0000

Don’t be surprised to see a couple of new Samsung Blu-ray players on the shelf at local or online retailers while shopping, as it’s rolling out new 3D capable models in the BD-C5900, BD-C6800 and BD-C7900. The $399 (MSRP) BD-C7900 updates the older BD-C6900 with two HDMI outs, useful for those with an older receiver that isn’t HDMI 1.4 compatible , while the $279 BD-C6800 seems to have all the features of the BD-C6900 except for that porthole on top, and comes in at a lower price

Microsoft’s Windows Phone Developer Tools package goes to beta

Admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:57:00 +0000

Early versions of the tools Windows Phone 7 developers will use to craft their wares have been floating around since Microsoft’s MIX event in March, but it looks like things have finally gotten robust and feature-complete enough this week to bless the kit with a beta label. In fact, Microsoft is coming out and saying that this release “represents the near final version,” which we take to mean you can develop with some confidence that your world won’t be turned upside down when the time comes to prep your apps for shipping devices and firmwares.

Sure, the Epic 4G seems awesome — but that doesn’t mean Sprint can (or should) abandon the midrange Android market, right?

Bluetooth 4.0 specification gets official, devices expected by Q4 2010

Admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 01:00:00 +0000

Outside of Samsung’s Wave , we’re having a hard time thinking of a meaningful device that has shipped with Bluetooth 3.0 onboard. Kind of crazy when you think about it, being that the protocol offered some pretty promising stuff when it went official in April of 2009. Fast forward to today, and it looks as if the Bluetooth SIG is storming forward regardless, as the Bluetooth 4.0 core specification has now been adopted with ” low energy technology ” as the standout feature

Microsoft’s mobile efforts may look like they’re slightly in disarray after the expensive and embarrassing Kin debacle , but it looks like Windows Phone 7 may yet emerge unscathed from the chaos — and potentially even earlier than expected, if this sheet of AT&T retail signage that’s being sent out for a July 24th store overhaul is to be believed.

Skyhook hones in on another partner, Samsung’s Wave to geo-locate like no other

Angel — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 18:41:00 +0000

Skyhook Wireless seems to have located itself yet another major partner in its continued quest to pinpoint every single cellphone owner in the world. Sure, we’re exaggerating a bit just to get you riled up, but there’s no arguing the fact that the company fulfills “hundreds of millions of location requests every day across over 100 million handsets, netbooks and cameras.” Or so it says, anyway

Hands-on with Hulu Plus via Samsung HDTV, iPhone and iPad

BlaineSnook64 — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 08:00:00 +0000

After months of speculation the wait is almost over and Hulu Plus is just about upon us . Hulu was nice enough to share an invite with us so we could to try it out — sorry, we don’t have any extras — and we happen to have a Samsung LED LCD TV in the lab to give it a go. And of course, we also tried it the old fashioned way (in the browser) as well as via Hulu Desktop , on the iPhone, and on the iPad — sadly it isn’t live on the Xbox 360 or PS3 yet
