I’ve been a long-time user of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0. I love its convenient size, which I think is perfect for emails, browsing the internet and reading ebooks. Even though I love this Android tablet, I still want to experience a different experience with it through the new Android OS, Ice Cream Sandwich. I’ve always wondered when Samsung will release an official update that will allow me to use Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung has finally announced that Ice Cream Sandwich will be coming to the Samsung Galaxy Tab. But not in a way that I was expecting. More →

Everyone wants to get into the newest in-thing on the internet right now – cloud computing. And you can include Google among those who want in on this hottest trend.

Google is expected to launch a new cloud storage service call Google Drive.

The number of Blackberry users jumping ship at the corporate level is getting more and more significant. Just this week, Halliburton announced that it will be ditching the Blackberry as the preferred communication device in the company in favor of iPhones and iPads. Now the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has announced that it will begin deploying iPhones and iPads to its employees by May, replacing the Blackberry devices that the Agency’s employees used to use.

According to a report by Bloomberg, About 3,000 of the Agency’s 20,000 fulltime workers and contractors use a BlackBerry device. The report failed to mention how many of the workers will be getting the new Apple products. More →

Instagram is a hugely popular app for iOS devices. The free app allows people to take pictures and employ different filters on the photo to create a multitude of effects.

Google recently announced that it has strengthened the security tools around the company’s Android mobile operating system. The announcement was made through a post published on the Google Mobile blog. The announcement came from Hiroshi Lockheimer, the Vice President of Engineering for Android.

One of the things that Lockheimer shared is a new service called Bouncer. This new security tool scans the Android Market and specifically looks for malicious software. Bouncer was designed to run in the background to detect malware. Bouncer will not interfere with the operations of Android Market. It doesn’t even need app developers to “go through an application approval process.” More →

I remember a time when offering something for free would elicit gratitude and calls for the person to run for president. Google was probably thinking the same thing when it decided to offer a number of its services for free. But that’s not what the Company got for offering their highly useful Google Maps for free.

For the “crime” offering Google Maps to the public free of charge, Google is being asked to pay a fine. More →
