With the Mobile World Congress just around the corner, we've been focusing much of our attention lately on upcoming models: what we expect for the show, what will be hot, and when they'll arrive. Even as keep up with all the leaks and rumors of this next-generation gear, manufacturers continue to remind us that they haven't yet forgotten about the smartphones of yesteryear. We just saw HTC show some love to a handful of older models it added to its bootloader unlocking program. Today it's Samsung's turn, with the Galaxy S-line Continuum tapped to officially get Froyo. We love it when ...

So far we've run through the unboxing of the Samsung Continuum, our hardware overview, and our look at the software. This time we take a different approach and compare the speed of the Continuum against one of its close relatives, the Samsung Galaxy S I9000. In this video we will run through a browser test, a gameplay test and comparison, as well as a YouTube load time test. The two devices share the same 1GHz Hummingbird processor. But, the Continuum clocks in slightly lower in the RAM category with 336MB of RAM, whereas the I9000 maintains a solid 512MB of RAM. Be sure to press play ...

Samsung's Galaxy S line of devices is arguably one of the biggest hits of 2010.

SRS Labs announced its plans to bring surround-sound-quality audio to the world of smartphones, by means of its SRS WideSurround technology. The first device taking advantage of the SRS algorithms is Samsung's Continuum Galaxy S phone, new to Verizon. SRS will likely license the technology to other smartphone manufacturers, though it hasn't yet revealed a list of partners. The digital signal processing done as part of WideSurround subtly modifies the standard stereo going to a smartphone's speakers and introduces slight delays in parts of the signal. When your brain interprets what it ...

Samsung seems to have hit a home run with their Galaxy S line of devices. Each of the major US carriers has received their own version of a Galaxy S phone. Verizon Wireless and Samsung each wanted to take things a step further by creating another Galaxy S device, but with a unique design. Enter the Samsung Continuum, a phone that possesses a main 3.4" sAMOLED touchscreen, but also a secondary 1.8" touchscreen ticker to display notification, weather, RSS feeds, etc. The brain of the operation is a 1GHz Hummingbird processor meshed with 336MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM.

The Samsung Continuum was shown at a press event tonight in New York City and we were there to get some hands-on with the new device. It's got a single capacitive Super AMOLED screen with 3 sections to it. A primary section holds the normal Android operating system display area, a middle section displays the capacitive menu, home, back, and search buttons, while a 3rd section shows ticker information. This can be anything from social media updates, notifications, time, weather, etc. Samsung calls this very innovative, and it is, but it's also very reminiscent of the Mobinova ICE from a few ...
