Samsung Galaxy Tab gets video unboxing

10/15/2010 02:51:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Consider us suitably jealous; while most countries are still waiting to hear even some official pricing from Samsung, would-be German tableteers can already buy the 7-inch Galaxy Tab slate. Carrypad is one of the first on the scene with an unboxing video and hands-on demo.



There’s not a huge amount in the box with the Tab itself: you get an AC adapter, with interchangeable power tips for international use, and a USB sync/charge cable. Finally there’s a wired stereo hands-free kit and some basic documentation. Samsung obviously have a lot of their own accessories, such as the keyboard dock, HDMI dock and Bluetooth stylus, but you’ll have to pick those up separately.

The US versions of the Galaxy Tab – which are headed to Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon – are still yet to get an official launch date, though rumors peg them at around mid-November. Meanwhile the UK version is due on November 1st, and expected to cost around £599 contract-free or £199 subsidized.

JYJ’s ‘The Beginning’ has sold over 520,000 albums in pre-order sales

10/15/2010 02:50:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


It was recently reported that the trio JYJ have already received 520,000 album pre-orders for their new album, ‘The Beginning’.

On October 14th, JYJ’s album distributors, Warner Music Korea, revealed, “Out of the limited number of 99,999 special albums we produced, we have received over 300,000 pre-orders for their special album, and 220,000 for their regular album. Because of this, it has been taking some time trying to coordinate the demand and supply to various stores. Today will be the first time the album will be on sale for the fans, while the special album will be released later on the [October] 18th.”

Warner Music Korea expressed, “With 520,000 albums sold just through pre-orders, JYJ’s ‘The Beginning’ has so far become the best sold album this year, and many are expecting this to revitalize the depression of album sales.”

Lastly, they added, “We were able to feel the explosive interest from fans, after receiving three times more album pre-orders for their special album than the original quantity we produced. We will soon be exploring more ways for purchasing their special album, especially for those fans who have not been able to get hold of them.”

iPhone for Verizon Landing in March 2011, Analyst Predicts

10/15/2010 02:50:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

Even if Target and Sam’s Club are getting ready to launch the iPhone in their own stores across the nation, talk about the iPhone launching on Verizon continues. While initial rumors paint the launch of the iDevice for Big Red’s network anywhere in the first half of 2011, it looks like one analyst believes that it’s “on track” for a March, 2011 release date. But, as we’ve heard in the past, it looks like the CDMA iPhone won’t just be for Verizon, but for other international markets as well.

With talk that India is vying for their own version of the CDMA-based iPhone, as well as other markets with non-GSM networks, the belief that Apple is hard at work on a CDMA variant for their popular device is growing. According to Brian Marshall, an analyst for Gleacher & Co., the Verizon iPhone is “on track” for a launch in March of next year. And this isn’t the first time he’s made such a statement, as he pegged that particular month as a launch date five months ago.

Lee DeWyze seems like a very nice guy and possesses perfectly solid music talent.

Then again, this combination hasn't resulted in much professional success for the two American Idol winners that preceded Lee, David Cook and Kris Allen.

Will DeWyze enjoy a different outcome when his debut CD comes out on November 16? We'll see. In the meantime, the guitar-playing crooner has released his first single. Listen to "Sweet Serendipity" now and chime in with your take on it:

Insider: Angelina Jolie's Movie Doesn't Involve a Rape Romance

10/15/2010 02:49:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Contrary to reports, Angelina Jolie's directorial debut doesn't involve a rape victim falling in love with her captor, an insider tells UsMagazine.com.

The erroneous story circulated earlier this week when Jolie, 35, was denied a filming permit in Bosnia because no screenplay was attached to the application, as required by law. Reports surfaced that the screenplay wasn't attached because it centered around a Serbian rapist and his Muslim victim. BBC News even reported that the Women Victims of War association said the movie was "misleading history."

A production source tells Us Jolie is furious that this story is making the rounds.

"This is not the story in the script," a source tells Us. "There are people trying to sabotage the movie."

To settle any misunderstandings, the script has been sent to the culture ministry to try and reverse the filming permit decision.

"It is highly likely the script will be reviewed within a day or so," a second source tells Us, "and all of this will be resolved."

Google, Bing market share creeps up

10/15/2010 02:49:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Google and Microsoft's Bing continue to pick up snippets of the U.S. search engine market at the expense of Yahoo, according to the latest stats from ComScore.

For September, Google's share of the 16 billion "explicit core" searches inched up 0.7 point from August and accounted for 66.1 percent of the market, while Microsoft eked out a 0.1 point rise to grab 11.2 percent. Although Yahoo remains in second place with a 16.7 percent slice of the market, it shed 0.7 point in the month.



Looking at sheer numbers, Google captured 10.6 billion such searches in the U.S. last month, a 3 percent gain from August. Yahoo accounted for 2.7 billion, a decline of 2 percent. Microsoft represented 1.8 billion, a rise of 3 percent.

ComScore's numbers, released yesterday, take into account all of a company's search properties. So, for example, Google's results include searches on its main page, YouTube, Google News, Google Images, and other pages.

10/15/2010 02:48:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , , 0 Comments


Tomorrow (10/15/2010) is Jimmy Lin’s 36th birthday. He rushed back to Taiwan last month for his precious son’s birthday party but has to spend his own birthday at work. Even though he is not with his family his co-stars Rene Liu, Cecilia Cheung, Tang Wei and the Korean actor Han Jae Suk gave him a surprise party. The surprised Jimmy is touched.

Jimmy is at the Zhuhai International Circuit filming director Jingle Ma Cho Shing’s racing movie. The team found out about Jimmy’s up-coming birthday and gave him a surprise party. He said, “Racing is my interest and career. I am very grateful that Director Ma gives me this chance to work on the big screen again. I learned a lot from him. This movie has a very strong cast (Tang Wei, Rene Liu, Cecilia Cheung, Han Jae Suk) and is not to be missed.

Nicolas Tse came to the set, and the two fathers talked about their parenting experience. Seeing Nicolas’s son, Jimmy can’t help but think of his own son Kimi. He talks to his son daily via webcam. He said, “My birthday wish is to see Kimi grow up safe and happy. This is every parent’s wish.”

Dell Streak, HTC Surround, white Samsung Fascinate, and Taylor Swift-ified white SE X10 coming to Best Buy exclusively

10/15/2010 02:47:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


We've got a little more detail on those four new pre-orderable phones up in Best Buy Mobile's business this week now that the news has gone from leak status to official, and needless to say, the truth is even stranger than fiction. The Dell Streak will be available for the first time in retail stores for $299.99 on contract come October 24, joined by a white version of Verizon's Samsung Fascinate for $149.99 on contract; those two will be followed on November 8 by the HTC Surround for $199. Here's where it gets interesting, though: the white Sony Ericsson X10 for AT&T -- also rumored in our original leak -- will come pre-loaded with "The Essential Taylor Swift Experience," which frankly doesn't paint a picture of the target demographic we'd really expected. But hey, we like surprises! What does her essential experience entail, exactly? Two albums, a new single, ringtone and video content, and access to her new album when it launches on October 25. This bad boy also comes in on October 24 for $99 on contract. Best Buy claims that all four of these are in-store exclusives... which, particularly with the Surround, is pretty insane.
