The downside here is that you’ll only be able to use it to manage your Netflix queue and browse movies.

0January 5, 2011
Honeycomb, Google’s new Android tablet OS will be requiring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor to be run correctly say Bobby Cha, the managing director of Korean consumer electronics firm Enspert.

Samsung’s Galaxy Q has many similarities to that of the Galaxy S. This includes the same 1GHz Hummingbird processor and Super AMOLED display technology that we see in the S line. Oddly enough though the display is 3 inches in contrast to the Galaxy S 4-inch super AMOLED More >
