by Anton D. Nagy | September 10, 2012 2:21 AMRead OnSamsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 was launched ahead of the Note II bringing the stylus to the tablet. You can check out our unboxing and make sure to stay tuned for the upcoming review but if you already have a Note 10.1 running Ice Cream Sandwich out-of-the-box you might be interested in a Jelly Bean OTA leak. A couple of notes: it is not yet available to download over-the-air (or by KIES) but if you decide to give it a go from the source link below you'll have to know that it will only work on model numbers GT-N8000. Also, this is a test ROM so expect some glitches; however, if you want to ...

by Stephen Schenck | September 6, 2012 4:44 PMRead OnNow that Amazon's new Kindle lineup, including a refreshed Kindle Fire and two new Kindle Fire HD tablets, has been announced, we're sure you're wondering just how these new offerings stack up against the first Kindle Fire, as well as some of the other bigwigs in the tablet game. That's why we put together a little comparison chart, for a head-to-head look at just how all this different hardware fares. It's still not complete, as Amazon has yet to confirm a few details about the new hardware's capabilities, but at least we can get a preliminary look at how everything lines-up. Obviously, ...

by Joe Levi | August 29, 2012 2:07 PMRead OnThe FedEx guy was kind to us this week and dropped by our very own Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to review! This is Samsung's latest tablet offering, it comes with 16GB storage on-board and is expandable by another 64GB via a microSD XC card. Inside is a quad-core, 1.4GHz processor, and 2GB RAM. On the top is the power button, volume rocker, microSD card slot, IR port, and headphone jack. The right and left sides are empty. The bottom has a Samsung connector port and a microphone. On the back of the device is a 5MP camera with LED flash, some modest branding, and the S-Pen stylus. On the front ...

by Michael Fisher | August 20, 2012 3:14 PMRead OnPicture this: you're lying in bed with your favorite tablet, catching up on the latest episode from the AMC series Hell On Wheels. You can substitute any TV show, movie, or YouTube series there, really, but Hell On Wheels is pretty amazing. Anyway, you're lying there, jaw agape at the realization that maybe the rapper Common can actually act, but you've got a problem. While the visuals are stunning on your 2012-edition iPad's Retina display, or passable on the lighter, slimmer Nexus 7's screen, you can't really hear anything. You reach to the volume toggle, hoping to avoid a repeat of ...

by Michael Fisher | August 16, 2012 7:59 AMRead OnWell, it's good to know that our guessing instinct here at Pocketnow is still pretty sharp. On Tuesday, we posted a piece speculating on what Samsung might announce at today's event in New York City. We offered up three possibilities, all of which happened to feature "Galaxy Note" branding, and said our leading contender was the Galaxy Note 10.1. Not that it was the most difficult puzzle we've ever solved, but we nailed it: Wednesday morning's announcement saw Samsung's newest tablet announced for American consumption (and creation), with general availability kicking off tomorrow, August ...

by Stephen Schenck | August 15, 2012 11:48 AMRead OnSure enough, Samsung has lived up to expectations for its press event scheduled for today, revealing the Galaxy Note 10.1, with all its upgraded hardware, as it will arrive in the US later this month. Samsung announced details of the tablet's global launch in a statement last week, which it expands upon today. Now we learn that the US will get its hands on the tablet tomorrow, on August 16, when it will sell for about $500 for the 16GB version and $550 for 32GB. We're still waiting for more info on that pricing, as there are supposed to be both WiFi-only and HSPA+ editions of the tablet ...

by Michael Fisher | August 14, 2012 7:04 PMRead OnAround these parts, we're no strangers to Samsung press events. The world's leading handset vendor has been on quite the publicity streak over the past year, culminating in the high-visibility kickoff of the Galaxy S III a few months back. The South Korean giant shows no signs of resting on its laurels, however, with a big Unpacked event planned for IFA at the end of the month. Before we can even hop on a plane to Berlin to cover that one, though, Samsung is calling us to New York City for yet another announcement. It's crazy, man. It's like Samsung's in it to win it or something. So ...

by Anton D. Nagy | August 12, 2012 2:09 AMRead OnIf you have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from last year, as well as the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, you can grab the official Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update's source code from the Open Source Release Center. There you will also find the source code for the Galaxy Note 10.1, which currently is also Ice Cream Sandwich. This means that the community can get its hands dirty and release a custom ROM based on these bits in no-time. If you have one of these tablets, make sure to regularly check for such a custom ROM; if you're a ROM developer, head over to the source link and just search for the ...

by Stephen Schenck | August 6, 2012 12:21 PMRead OnThere were plenty of rumors going around last week concerning just which products Samsung would end up highlighting at the multiple events it has planned for later this month. Eventually, the story seemed to come out that the Galaxy Note 10.1 would be featured at Samsung's August 15 event, while the Note 2 would be the star on August 29. We remarked at the time that August 15 sounded a little late to debut the Note 10.1, as we had already heard of its intent to introduce the tablet in some markets before then. Sure enough, Samsung's not waiting until mid-month to get the ball rolling on ...

by Stephen Schenck | August 3, 2012 3:58 PMRead OnEarlier today, we heard that Samsung had finally confirmed what was on the agenda for its IFA Unpacked event at the end of the month: the Galaxy Note 2. That left us wondering what was planned for its August 15 event, and we speculated a bit about the most likely candidates. If you were holding out hope that we might get the first official confirmation of the 11.8-inch giant mentioned in some of the company's documents exposed by its recent legal battle with Apple, we've got some bad news, because we just got our first look at the invitations to this event, and it's pretty clear we're ...

by Stephen Schenck | August 3, 2012 11:02 AMRead OnThis time yesterday, we were talking about the invitations Samsung had started sending out to its Unpacked event at the IFA, scheduled for late this month. The imagery Samsung chose to use could – if we looked at it just right – be seen as hinting at news about a new Galaxy Note model. Samsung could have just kept us guessing for another few weeks, but has gone ahead and have a spokesperson confirm the company's plans, revealing the intention to unveil the Galaxy Note 2 at this August 29 event. OK, that gives us something concrete to look forward to for the end of the month, but what ...

by Stephen Schenck | August 2, 2012 4:59 PMRead OnWe're hoping to learn about the retail launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, the company’s first tablet to support the S-pen stylus introduced with the original Note, at one of the events it has planned for later this month. Since news of a pre-release hardware redesign, we've been curious about just what the tablet's new specs would be. A pre-order page attempted to reveal some of those details, but Samsung quickly announced that those details were incorrect. Now, a service manual for the Note 10.1 has reportedly leaked, and may give us an official account of the tablet's ...

by Stephen Schenck | August 2, 2012 11:11 AMRead OnAugust is shaping up to have the potential to be an interesting month for Samsung, with expectations that it will announce any of several highly anticipated Androids. We've mentioned before how the company is planning another of its Unpacked events for immediately before this year's IFA in Berlin gets started at the tail-end of the month. With invitations to the event now going out, can we spot any clues here as to just what Samsung might be planning to unveil? Earlier, we had heard that the Galaxy Note 2 might be on the agenda for Unpacked, but then news of another Samsung event, this one ...

by Stephen Schenck | July 23, 2012 7:57 PMRead OnBack in June, Amazon briefly listed Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 for pre-order, revealing some specs for the tablet, before it took the listing down. Samsung responded to the incident by claiming that some of those specs Amazon revealed were incorrect, but we didn't know just which ones. Considering the fact that the tablet had apparently undergone re-engineering to become a bit more of an Android powerhouse, we've been curious to get an accurate read on just where these new specs will fall. As we await official word, one users has gotten his hands on the Korean edition of the tablet in its ...
