We’ve got an action-packed morning planned for you in this no holds barred world of tech. In this morning’s US Update we break down the latest Galaxy S smartphone, drop the scoop on the Asus E600 Windows Phone 7, look at the rumored Nokia MeeGo tablet and much more.
Starting off your morning is the latest Galaxy S smarthphone, the Samsung Galaxy S Hoppin. Named after a new cloud service on South Korea’s SKT, the Samsung Hoppin packs the proverbial Galaxy S punch. An unreleased Asus Windows Phone 7 smartphone, the Asus E600, has just appeared compliments of the ChevronWP7 jailbreaking team. The team received the handsets directly from Microsoft as part of their ongoing negotiation to make homebrew applications part of the platform.
HTC is projecting 8.5 million handsets shipped in the first quarter of 2011, down 6.9 percent from the 9.13 million units shipped in Q4 2010. To help boost shipments, HTC has doubled capacity at two of their factories. The first image of the rumored Nokia MeeGo tablet has surfaced. An image submitted to meego.com in the bug tracking section, shows what appears to be a seven-inch Nokia tablet running MeeGo.
Rumored specs for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 have emerged. According to the rumors, the Tab 2 will feature a 3D display, dual-core Tegra 2 processor and run Android 2.3 at launch. Last up this morning is a well-deserved trailer for Duke Nukem Forever. The trailer shows off plenty of game play, but please be advised — this game is for mature audiences and so is the trailer.
That wraps up things this fine morning from the states. Thanks for spending your morning with us as we break the headlines fresh off the press from our side of the world. Until tomorrow, this is Nick saying over and out.
