Facebook page of Samsung Mobile announced that surprises will be introduced during the "Unpacked" event that the company will hold on the 22nd of March. An image of a tablet along with some text which asked about the reader's Tab life was included in the announcement. The image was also labeled '78910'. Here 7 obviously stand for the 7-inch Galaxy Tab, while 10 stands for Galaxy Tab 10.1 that was recently unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona a week ago.2011 landing page has a tablet that carries the same background as the one in Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet press images running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, so the possibility is there that Samsung will introduce an 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab with Android 3.0 Honeycomb running on it. Samsung has used dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 SoC processor for 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab, while the 7-inch Galaxy Tab uses 1GHz Hummingbird CPU. So the Galaxy Tab 8.9 may use the new Exyonos family of Mobile processors.
If a new Samsung Galaxy tab will be unveiled, it might be the rival of the Optimus Pad of LG which was introduced by the company during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The reported Samsung Galaxy tab will have the same screen size as the Optimus Pad of LG. Pricing of the product is yet to be known.

Recently, Samsung introduced its Tablet PC that is deemed by many to be the best ipad alternative. Here are the highlights of their comparisons.
iPad alternative
Form Factor and Size
With a dimension of (190.09) x (120.45) x (11.98) mm, this ipad alternative presents an advantage when it comes to portability as compared to the (242.8) x (189.7) x (13.4) mm of the ipad. The Galaxy Tab’s screen provides more personal viewing experience with its 7-inch screen. The 9-inch screen of the iPad on the other hand, can accommodate more than one viewer. The tablet PC from Samsung weighs 380 grams – pretty lighter than the 730 grams of the ipad. Top ipad alternative and best ipad alternative 2011
OS and Processor
The Samsung Galaxy Tab runs on Android 2.2 Froyo Operating System – perfect for Android fans. On the other hand, the ipad runs on iOS 4 that is particularly made for this device. Both these 2 tablet PCs are equipped with 1.0 Ghz processor though.
Battery Life
Top ipad alternative and best ipad alternative 2011. The iPad outlasts the Galaxy Tab when it comes to the battery life. You’ll have enough of the 10hr battery life (active mode) of the ipad as compared to the 7hr from Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Samsung Galaxy Tab’s Edge
One of the Galaxy Tab’s features that makes it a fine choice over the ipad are its the built-in cameras. The Galaxy Tab comes with rear and front cameras. You can use the rear camera for more high-resolution still image and enhanched video capturing. The front camera on the other hand, is perfect for video conferencing. The ipad’s lack of cameras disappoints many users, yes it suck.
This ipad alternative also works as a mobile phone. It comes with a SIM card slot for its 3G connection as well as SMS and voice call capabilities.There are major fact on ipad, despite having a SIM card slot, but only for the purpose of 3G its connection – no support for SMS and voice calls though.

Demo iPhone passwords hack
6:03 PM
The researchers said that the hack was relatively easy to perform and used freely available tools. However, they did have to jailbreak the device and install an SSH server in order to access the phone and copy the keychain access script that allows access to the stored information.
"After using a jailbreaking tool, to get access to a command shell, we run a small script to access and decrypt the passwords found in the keychain. The decryption is done with help of functions provided by the operating system itself," the researchers wrote in the paper. "An attacker would not need to know the user's passcode nor does he need to exploit new vulnerabilities to reveal these secrets."
Other sensitive information such as credentials saved by the Safari web browser were not revealed in the tests.
The iPad 2: How Will Apple Stay Ahead of the Pack?
5:38 PM
With Android having exploded, it’s unlikely that Apple will be willing to let all those upcoming Honeycomb Android tablets get close to the iPad. Once burned twice shy, as they say.
So what might we reasonably expect Apple to do to maintain their lead? And what do we want to see?
In Design, A Big iPod Touch
We know Apple’s strength has always been design. But though the original iPad is a beautifully designed piece of hardware, it’s likely that in order to cement their design lead, Apple will move to an iPod Touch style design.
By that, I mean the back of the device will taper to the edge, and the back will be covered in something more ‘luxurious’ that the brushed aluminum look it has now.
More to the point, it will be the thinnest tablet out there – mainly so Tim Cook (who we assume will run the keynote) can say “this is the thinnest tablet out there”. And a glossy, silver back will starkly distinguish the iPad 2 from the Xoom, Playbook et al.
It’s a shame, as I quite like the slab design of the current iPad, but competition often means simply needing to differentiate a product.
Keeping Costs Down Means No Retina
Those clamoring for a ‘retina display’ on the iPad – i.e. a doubled resolution of 2048 × 1536 – are, to put it nicely, a bit nuts.
Not only would it require an incredibly expensive screen, you would also need a very fast CPU-GPU combo (probably quad-core) to drive the 3D effects of iOS at that resolution, which would itself cause battery-life headaches.
On top of that, after asking app developers to adjust the resolution of their apps for the iPhone 4, Apple will now ask them to do it all over again for the iPad apps they just wrote? I don’t think so. If you’re dead set on a ~10? retina display, wait for an iPad 3.
But in order to stay ahead, look for an improved display in terms of brightness and viewing angles.
Cameras, *yawn*, Facetime, Dual-Core, More RAM etc.
There is some stuff on the way that could only be surprising if it’s not included. Those things are cameras on the back and front and a dual-core A5 Apple ARM-based processor – probably running at 1.2GHz. Yawn.
Since the iPad only has 256MB of RAM, this will obviously get an upgrade too, though whether it’s to 512MB or 1GB is likely a matter of cost. I’d expect the latter, since iOS quite strict in how it handles multi-tasking. 1GB might be overkill.
The only surprise might be the lack of a rear camera. It’s unlikely, because we’ve seen cases with holes for a camera. But I’d like to think that Apple might be saner than some other tablet manufacturers: who wants to hold up a 10? tablet to take pictures? No-one, that’s who.
All of this will be added simply to keep pace with upcoming Android tablets and the Playbook.
Possible Surprises? Price? No Home Button? Holographic Projection?
Holoographic projection? Yeah, I was just messin’. I don’t even know what that is.
But no home button? A possibility. After all, we’ve already seen gestures that make the home button somewhat obsolete. (Though that does limit multi-finger gestures to the OS rather than apps.) It would also line up with Steve Jobs notorious hatred for buttons, and would make a lot of sense given that the iPad is used as much in landscape mode as it is portrait.
What about the price? Well, it may be optimistic to think it will be cheaper, but look at Apple’s projected figures of 40 million units for 2011. In 2010, they sold 15 million units. Is it possible that, due to Apple’s control of the supply chain – in things like their huge $8 billion deal with Samsung – that they could drop the base unit down to $399? What else might account for more than doubling sales projections for a product with an average selling price of around $700? Yes, the product is insanely popular; but is it so popular that 40 million people around the world will drop the cost of a new laptop?
Let’s say there’s a 50/50 chance Apple will cut prices by a $100 across the line.
What Do You Want in an iPad 2?
Overall, the iPad’s market lead won’t be about hardware as much as it will be about iOS. It will be about how Apple’s ecosystem is positioned as the most appealing. So expect a modest, if overhyped upgrade to the original.
But what about you cerdaskomputer readers? 4G? A USB or Lightpeak port? NFC? SD expansion slot? What do you want to see in the next iPad? Hit the comments and let us know.
Latest top best concept mobile phones
11:11 AM
We've made a list of what we think are the coolest concept phones presented in 2010. But do not ask where can you find them and at what price.
1. LG Flutter concept smartphone
The smartphone got the first-ever Prop Mater's Choice Award, given to Dua Xiong for the amazing design. The LG Flutter by Dua Xiong slides apart, then splits open to reveal a flexible, fan-like OLED screen. The winning design will be manufactured, but Dua Xiong's LG Flutter will appear in an upcoming blockbuster action flick (movie not yet revealed).
The LG Flutter boasts of an interface similar to the iPhone.
The only difference is that the LG Flutter makes use of radial interface which is certain to get some attention. The LG Flutter looks more like a fan or a killer's boomerang which we see in sci-fi movies.
Regardless, the design does seem fit for the future of mobile phones but looks a bit sophisticated to use.
2. Nokia 888 is a concept mobile phone
Nokia 888 is a concept mobile phone with a bracelet-like design that has never been endorsed by Nokia. This mobile phone concept has been designed by the industrial designer Tamer Nakisci and won the Benelux design contest in 2005.
Five years have passed since the award and still no mobile phone company has put it in practice.
The phone has an amazing design. You can fold it in many ways according to your needs. You can wear it as a bracelet, roll it, bend it and wear it as a clip on your clothes. It is amazing how fun this mobile can be.
Nokia 888 Concept is mostly targeted to teenagers that are very active and take place in a lot of different activities.
3. Window Phone
Finally we have a product to throw on the faces of the shameless weather officials of our country.
Whenever they predict sunny day be sure it would rain. So we have thought of gifting them this 'Window Phone' that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display to reflect the climatic conditions outdoors.
Maybe we should keep the phone for ourselves and bug the bureau with updates.
Image: Window Phone
4. Nokia Morph
The Nokia Morph is a concept mobile phone created by Finnish company Nokia. The concept, which was unveiled on February 25, 2008 at the The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, was the product of a joint study into the future of mobile phones by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge's Nanoscience Centre.
The device was presented as part of the museum's 'Design and The Elastic Mind'.
According to Bob Lannucci, Nokia's chief technology officer, the 'Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices. The Morph concept shows what might be possible.
The device, which is non-functional, is intended to provide a conceptual showcase for future applications of nanotechnology in the realm of consumer electronics.
The phone's theoretical feature list would include the ability to bend into numerous shapes, so it can be worn around the wrist or held up to the face; transparent electronics, which would allow the device to be see-through yet functional; self-cleaning surfaces that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone's battery; and a wide range of fully integrated sensors.
Image: Nokia Morph
5. Clover Phone
On looks it's just another ordinary phone prototype, but made in recycled material, the Clover is a customisable phone that touts four different module interfaces, a tact which allows the device to be upgraded to meet latest advancements in technology.
Designed in collaboration with Samsung Corp Milano, the Clover phone has these modules comprised for vision, location, sound and sensor which can be added to the device both by developers and independently.
The rear of the handset has a PLCD (Permanentmagnetic Linear Contactless Displacement Sensors) that changes from opaque to transparent corresponding to the intensity of the juice levels.
The phone also features feasibility for two additional add-ons, the LCD and the electronic sensors, and also has a graphical interface pop-up to display various applications in us.
Given the green aspects on the high-end tech the phone caters to, we guess it'll be a selling proposition with the green hooded.
Image: Clover Phone
6. Nokia E97 Envelop
The future of the phones is here, the E97 Envelope concept phone from Nokia. Parisian ID student, and soon-to-be design star, Fabien Nauroy, has designed it.
The dual-orientation phone looks like it would have a pull-out LED screen and goes by the name of the Nokia E97 Envelope. Take a look at the image and you'll see why.
Fabien Nauroy has put together a Nokia concept phone that seems to mix function, form and desirability together in one package and we don't think we're alone at being in awe over this design. After all, design site Core 77 picked up this young Parisian's design and showcased it.
We think it looks absolutely fantastic. It has a pull-out LED screen that allows you to share web pages or photos of friends with others as though it was a printed page.
Image: Nokia E97 Envelop
7. Motorola KRE8
Motorola KRE8 is a new phone concept that, if ever built, it would be among the weirdest handsets out there. Needless to say, it would also be quite distinct from the MOTOROKRs currently available on the market.
At first sight, the device looks like a portable media player, but it's actually a full touchscreen phone that should have 3G, GPS and lots of advanced music features.
Designed by Jose Tomas DeLuna, the KRE8 would come with three pre-loaded modes: Instrument Mode, Record Mode and Mix Mode. These can be activated and controlled via the large touchscreen display.
One of the coolest things about the Motorola KRE8 is that you can literally split it in two pieces.
After doing so, each piece uses its own accelerometer for detecting the gestures you make. This way, you can use the device as an instrument simulator -- guitar, violin or drums -- and simply start creating music.
Image: Motorola KRE8
8. Emir Rifat's Packet
Let's get the obvious joke out of the way: most men would be delighted if their packet won a prestigious award.
But Packet is no laughing matter: this fantastically foldable mobile phone concept won first place at Istanbul Design Week 2007 and no doubt ensured that industrial design student Rifat won't be short of job offers.
Like most concepts we doubt we'll ever see this one in the real world, but it's a great bit of design nevertheless.
Image: Emir Rifat's Packet
9. Kyocera EOS folding OLED mobile pho
Kyocera has shown off a new level of gadget cool at CTIA by unveiling the EOS folding OLED mobile phone that can change shape to suit your needs.
Made of a semi-rigid polymer screen, the thing doesn't even have a traditional battery, instead powering itself of your movement.
The phone can be folded into a variety of different shapes for changing needs, such as completely flat for wide screen video viewing or a more traditional netbook shape.
It incorporates a low-power flexible OLED as well, although given that it's a concept it could probably turn into a magic carpet and fly you to the moon, as designers are free to make up pretty much whatever they want with these things.
Image: Kyocera EOS folding OLED mobile pho
10. The Mobile Script
This phone is firstly a concept device so don't go rolling your eyes with the sort of features thrown in.
This handset aims to further explore the functions that current cellphones already have, including Internet browsing, working on-the-go, games and communications.
The device itself features a couple of touch screen displays, where one comes in the standard candy bar format while the other is made up of a flexible OLED display that can stiffen whenever a low voltage charge goes through it to make available maximum viewing real estate whenever required.
To make things more interesting, there is no need to recharge this puppy since it comes covered in a photo sensitive nano material that will harness solar power as energy.
Image: The Mobile Script
11. BenQ Snake phone
The BenQ Siemens concept phone is known as 'Snake' because of its design.
You can see the model, what a crazy look it has? Notice the presence of media playback buttons, the usual answer/reject all keys and excellent tiny display.
You can hold it with your own choice. This phone already have a lot of facilities like shaped figure, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi , new games etc. So have a great dream of it.
To make your dreams come true we can pray for it to come in the market only.
Image: BenQ Snake phone
12. The Egg
The Egg concept phone has a neat touch to it that makes it look like a futuristic device.
Its features are pretty realistic, for a manufacturer that would take up the project; Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi , a 3.2 megapixel camera and also 4GB internal memory.
This concept phone designed by Roman Tubi, who did a great job to make this type of unique concept mobile. Have you any guesses, where the phone can be found out?
Not to worry, lets hope that the expectation comes true.
Image: The Egg
13. S-Series
The S-series mobile phone is concept at the moment and looks very sleek. It appears to be made of wood that looks like wooden phone.
Actually it's combined with a stylish mobile phone screen and keypad. The keypad is not always needed as all the functions of the phone can be operated without it, although it is there just incase of your preferences about the product.
Image: S-Series
14. Duo-phone handset
This Duo-phone handset concept designed by Daewoo Kim has a perfect relationship, sorta like Bobby and Whitney before the opiate abuse.
It's also more than meets the eye. At first glance it appears to be a regular concept we've see on NWS before, but no it really compliments itself.
You put them together and boom, their LCD size has doubled. If the other's battery power is low you hook them up and guess what? It charges up its significant other's battery.
It even looks like their Ying and Yang are in perfect harmony when they're in the cradle; it's a beautiful thing.
Image: Duo-phone handset
15. The health phone
This health concept phone enables users to track their health through the peoples' nutrition and fitness.
Users of this phone who have similar goals like lose weight or run a 5km race can be networked together to motivate, and hold the others accountable for their workout sessions.
The phone is equipped with E-Nose technology in order to 'smell' and recognise foods eaten by their unique chemical signature. It tracks intake wherever you go, and will periodically analyse info to let you know what food groups you are missing.
Image: The health phone
16. Nokia Aeon
A concept phone that combines two touch-sensitive panels mounted on a fuel-cell power pack. Each of the panels are capable of being used independently.
The touch screen displays all buttons that are virtual, so in one situation one panel could operate as the display, the other as the keypad.
Nokia also establishes a new wireless standard with wibree, basically an upgraded bluetooth which would allow the Aeon to be a thin-client, farming out processing and storage.
Image: Nokia Aeon
17. DoCoMo concept mobile
The phone in the picture above is a concept phone shown by DoCoMo and Fujitsu at CEATEC in Japan this year. This splitting cell phone look interesting.
I can't help but wonder how fast I'd destroy it.
I tend to play with cell phones, especially sliders and flip phones to the point where certain parts might fly off.
As you can see there's a screen and a keyboard segment. The two pieces are connected with magnets and they communicate which each other via Bluetooth.
There's no name for this splitting device as it's just a concept for now.
We're waiting to see if Fujitsu and DoCoMo will actually send it to massive production. It would be interesting to see what features it will sport.
Image: DoCoMo concept mobile
18. Sony Ericsson Greenheart
Sony Ericsson recently announced the launch of its eco friendly device, known under the name of GreenHeart. Unfortunately, the cellphone might not ever reach the mass production and we should be satisfied with all the promises invading the market nowadays.
GreenHeart incorporates a bunch of green technologies that people would love to see in the stores over the coming years, especially because the ideas it is based on are totally logical and could be executed today.
The device has a pretty impressive life cycle due to its bio-plastic housing and recycled plastic materials keypads, the zero charger with 3.5mW standby power and the HTML-based electronic manuals, in order to diminish the number of cut down trees for paper.

- AMOLED touchscreen display
- Touch-sensitive case

Image: The new iPhone 4G concept
20. LG concept watch phone
LG has shown off a concept watch phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
The phone, which seems to be inspired by Dick Tracy, will allow you to carry a mobile phone around with you on your wrist.
Although details are sketchy as to the specs of the watch, LG has told Pocket-lint that everything is controlled either via voice or a roller at the bottom of the screen similar to how the company's Shine handset works.
Other tech that will be included is Bluetooth so you can connect a headset to make calls.
The Korean company says that you will be able to talk directly to the microphone built-in to the watch if you want.
