Samsung And Google Have Postponed The Galaxy Nexus Launch
WELL.
That was unexpected. The upcoming Galaxy Nexus launch planned next week will not be at CTIA fall after all. The event is currently being rescheduled, which is pretty much a bummer, if I do say so myself. What entices journalists and tech-savvy consumers so much about the Galaxy Nexus is that it will usher in the next iteration of Android, that being version 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich along with a tablet version of the OS which will unify both the tablet and smartphone experiences, along with top-notch specs like a 1280×720 screen with the latest camera specs and dual-core processors. Here’s Samsung’s statement on the matter:
“Samsung and Google decide to postpone the new product announcement at CTIA Fall. We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product. New date and venue will be shortly announced.”

The new iPhone 4S, available on Sprint, Verizon Wireless, and AT&T goes on pre-order today for $199 (16GB), $299 (32GB), and $399 (64GB). WHile these models make the iPhone 4S a “world phone”, keep in mind the new unlocked models that debut in November which are priced at $649, $749, or $849, for the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB versions will only work on GSM carriers, not CDMA ones (the handset must be first activated on a CDMA carrier like Sprint or Verizon). Some of the main specs include an Apple 5 dual-core processor, a new 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, iOS 5, that wonderful 3.5-inch Retina display, and finally Siri, the new voice-controlled artificial intelligence system.

This is quite a big one. The HTC Sensation XL (obviously extra large) is an HTC Sensation 4G that has Beats Audio built-in and comes with a pair of headphones, along with a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 16GB of internal storage, a 4.7-inch Super LCD display, HSPA+, an 8-megapixel camera with 1080pHD video recording, and then some. It only comes in white, as seen above, and will launch in Asia and in Europe, but no American launch is planned at the moment — at least we don’t know one is. PR after the break.
With the announcement of new Apple products today comes the iOS 5 gold master, or GM, for short. The is essentially the 8th version of iOS 5 released to developers, and is the retail-ready model — in other words the “golden master”. The new version of iOS 5 launches publicly on October 12th, however developers get the download today (like me). The usual dev tools like Xcode and iTunes 10.5 will also have GM versions ready for iOS 5, all at Apple’s developer portal. The update is not available as an OTA however — in order to upgrade you’ll need to use iTunes one last time.
It’s the new iPhone 4S. It contains a state-of-the-art dual-core Apple A5 processor with up to 7x increased graphics performance from the previous iPhone and 2x the processing speed. It also has HSPA+ speeds of up to 14.4MBps and increased battery life — 8 hours of talk time on 3G. The iPhone 4S also packs a new camera at 8 megapixels (with am amazing aperture of f2.4 and takes photos in 1.1 seconds, with each shot coming faster than the last) and a resolution of 3264×2448, including full HD 1080p video recording, all with better contrast, face detection, temporary noise reduction with video stabilization, and low-light photo-taking. The new iPhone 4S is also a world phone that comes in GSM with CDMA (no separate models, just one model) using a new antenna design the increases speeds and call quality, hopefully. As for appearances, everything remains the same, including a delightful Retina display and a glass exterior.
And that seems right on cue.
