Heads up high-speed information fans - more carrier-exclusive smartphone and inscription offerings are headed your way.
On Wednesday morning, T-Mobile voiced its Milky Way S 4G smartphone and G-Slate tablet. The phone will be existing someday this month (we're speculating a let go in conjunction with the stirring Mobile World Congress), whilst the inscription has an even more unclear tumble date of "spring" availability. Neither have fixed cost points as of yet.
The Samsung-manufactured Milky Way S 4G isn't drastically not similar from its 3G predecessor, the Vibrant . It's got a 4-inch capacitive hold shade (like the Vibrant), a 1-GHz Hummingbird processor (see: Vibrant), in addition to a 5-megapixel camera able of capturing 720p video and a pre-installed 16-GB microSD card (Vibrant, Vibrant, Vibrant).
In fact, solely is to newly-installed front confronting VGA camera for video talk and 4G-capable ST-Ericsson radio, this thing ain't ample not similar than a Vibrant. (The 4G does, however, advance with Inception installed onto the phone in its entirety, instead of Avatar , similar to the Vibrant.)
But Samsung's initial Milky Way array of smartphones did break the 10 million sales spot in early January , so recognition and user-familiarity could transcend a insufficient of product innovation.
The T-Mobile G-Slate with Google by LG (yes, that swig of a pretension is accurate) is a bit more interesting to us. The 8.9-inch capacitive hold shade will be able of both personification and recording 3-D and full HD video content, total with in-box 3-D eyeglasses to watch your 3-D home cinema with (here's to anticipating they aren't the inexpensive card kind).
The "with Google" branding counts for something as well. The G-Slate will run the much-anticipated Android chronicle 3.0 (a.k.a. Honeycomb), Google's Android OS refurbish "optimized for tablets." And only similar to the stirring Honeycomb-powered Motorola Xoom inscription , it'll be running on a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
The inscription will moreover add a back confronting 5-megapixel camera able of recording 1080p HD video together with receiving snapshots, and the front confronting 2-megapixel camera comes batch for all your video chatting needs. The 32GB of on-board storage will hold your bolt of jpegs and video files.
While the new Milky Way S 4G isn't wowing us on pristine spec-power alone, we're vehement to see what the G-Slate has in store for us.
