Intel could build the next incarnation of the chip powering the iPad 2 and iPhone according to a juicy new rumour doing the rounds. Samsung currently makes the A5 processor but given the current legal dispute between Apple and other parts of the Samsung empire, speculation is growing that it will lose the contract.
Intel currently makes the processors inside the MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac and Mac Pro and Mac Mini lines but it’s ARM processors powering iPods, the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Could that be about to change?
The Samsung Galaxy S will be getting the Android Gingerbread 2.3 update at the end of March, according to Samsung’s Romanian Facebook page. The Samsung Galaxy S Froyo upgrade will stop being available on the 20 March, and after that the Android Gingerbread upgrade will be available. That means that if you’ve got an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S you can expect to see the upgrade available some time after 20 March, although we don’t know exactly when.
Sadly many of you with a Samsung Galaxy S locked to a mobile network will have to wait, as those networks will be running their rigourous stress tests to make sure nothing is going to upset the network.

As if there weren’t already enough iterations of the Galaxy Tab, Samsung is teasing yet another version of the Tab: its the 8.9-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab we’ve heard speak of in the last few weeks.

The Samsung Galaxy line up gets another addition today in the shape of the QWERTY keyboard, Android Froyo (2.2.1) sporting Samsung Galaxy Pro. We’ve already heard that the Samsung Galaxy Pro will be headed to Three, and will update if we hear from other networks.
HTC outed the HTC Incredible S, a 4-inch smartphone related to the American HTC Incredible that will be making its way to our shores in Q2 this year. But how does it stack up next to the 4.3-inch next-gen beauty, the Samsung Galaxy S 2? Read on for the head to head between the Samsung Galaxy S 2 and HTC Incredible S. Can the HTC Incredible S live up to its bombastic title?
Samsung and LG both announced tablets at MWC 2011 last week. Samsung broadened the range of the Galaxy Tab with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, whereas LG’s first tablet, the LG Optimus Pad came loaded with 3D for the early adopter. Both come running Android Honeycomb.
