Samsung Galaxy Tab Accessories Get Leaked

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is one of the most highly anticipated Android powered tablets with a looming release date. This 7-inch device features Google’s latest mobile operating system, Android 2.2, along with a front and rear facing camera – all things that some would love on with an iPad.

Unfortunately, we still can’t tell you a solid release date or price point but what we can tell you is that the device’s entire line up of official accessories has been leaked today. These accessories seem similar to the iPad’s with a dock with HDMI-out, dock with keyboard, stand-case and USB connector all making the cut. Check out the rest of the pictures via our source below.

I don’t know about you guys but if Samsung manages to keep the Galaxy Tab within a competitive price range, I may have to pick up one instead of making the jump towards iPad. Apple’s offering is enticing but there’s no denying the cameras and of course Google Android.

Which tablet are you looking forward to the most?

Samsung Fascinate ready for Best Buy in-store pre-order ahead of rumored September 9 launch

Verizon can’t be feeling too hot about being the straggler to the Galaxy S party, but the wait seems to be almost at an end. Best Buy’s just started taking in-store pre-orders for the Fascinate, while the latest internal document leak from VZW indicates a specific September 9 launch for the 4-inch Android handset. That’s when you should be able to snap the Fascinate up along with a prepaid data plan from Big Red, which fits in nicely with earlier unsanctioned disclosures on the matter. Either way, Samsung’s quest to conquer all networks with its Super Gorilla phone will be coming to a victorious end pretty soon.

Have you ever been waiting for someone, and wonder where in the world he or she is? Well, with this TeleNav App known as On My Way, you would know.

All you have to do is set it up, and On My Way notifies another person with status messages while you are en route. It will automatically tell the other person while you will be late, and even set a pre-determined time when you will arrive. Now just try and come up with a valid reason for texting while driving.

On My Way is available for both iPhone and Android.

StumbleUpon comes to Android, too

Some of you might remember when we covered StumbleUpon for the iPhone, and Android users will be pleased to know it is coming to the Android platform.

StumbleUpon is an Internet social bookmarking site that I probably don’t need to go on about. Most people use it online at their desktop or laptop, but this mobile version for Android looks like it should be easy to examine channels like Photos, News, Flickr, and YouTube, and you can share what you have found on your favorite social networking site such as Twitter and Facebook, not to mention good old-fashioned e-mail.

I’m not certain how much this costs, but I hope it is like the iPhone version: free.

State Farm on the Move for Android prevents texting while driving

Posted by TiPb Store on August 30th, 2010

Just earlier this week, we reported on SMS Replier for Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile platforms. It was a program for automating texting response messages.

State Farm, in an effort to keep their customer’s rates down, have created an Android App known as On The Move. It will automatically send a message of “I am driving” or any other pre-ordained response when an untimely text message is received.

Granted, it is not made so it will link up with an Android phone’s GPS so it won’t turn on automatically when it could sense that you are driving. The user does have to turn on this thing manually.

Still, it is a step in the right direction for preventing texting while driving.

Toshiba to Name Android Powered Tegra 2 Smart Pad The Folio 100?

Many competitors have already been brought to the tablet industry and Toshiba is one of them. It’s been known for a while that Toshiba would be releasing more than one tablet in the Smart Pad line up. However, there is one device in particular that is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor. This device is said to feature a capacitive touchscreen, front facing camera and everything else similar devices will have.

More specifically, a 10.1-inch screen with a 1024, 600 resolution, 16GB of built-in storage, 802.11 b/g/n, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, USO 2.0 and a 1.3 megapixel web cam.

However, while we know that it will feature NVIDIA’s Tegra 2, we do not know exactly what this device will be called. Today, we bring you rumors pointing towards Toshiba naming the device the Folio 100.

As always until Toshiba says more we’ll have to mark this one off as speculation.
