Samsung Italy confirms Ice Cream Sandwich updates for Honeycomb Galaxy Tab line

We finally get an official comment about whether or not the second generation of Galaxy Tabs will be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich. The devices listed that will be updated include Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and Galaxy Note.

Obviously, the update will not be out anytime soon. After all there are still no ICS devices on the market. By Q2 2012 we should see these updates start to trickle down. The Wi-Fi versions will almost definitely get the updates first because they do not have to fight the carriers to get the updates pushed out.

iBallz Review – Gone Universal! For Galaxy Tabs!

iBallz has been universal for a bit now, but a lot of you may not know that!

iBallz is a case replacement, that offers very great protection for tablets, but was invented originally for the iPad.

Now, they have the iBallz Minis, available for all tablets, including the Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Galaxy Tab 10.1v.

I ordered the iBallz Minis in black almost a week ago and got them just a couple days back. And I already have a lot to say about these.

News Republic is a powerful news reader that’s easy on the eyes

News Republic offers a truly new and refreshing take on news reader apps. With a focus on article discovery and topic organization, users can simply enter a personal interest and find hundreds of articles on the topic, many from websites they’ve never visited.

News Republic is intended to be an all in one stop for online news by pulling articles from thousands of different websites and then organizing them by topic. Users create their own personal categories based on what interests them, and News Republic fills those categories with new article from relevant websites. One of News Republic’s finer traits is navigation, with a slick two panel design that makes browsing your custom news channels a breeze. Overall the app works quite well, with the occasional hiccup due to unreliable connections or broken links, but these are few and far between. There’s something to be said about an app that delivers thousands of relevant articles based on a topic of your choosing, and is why News Republic is my go to news reader for the Galaxy Tab.

App Of The Week – ASTRO

The app we have showcased today is called ASTRO.

Astro is a file management application on the Android market, offered for un-rooted users, as well as rooted users. This application has a lot to offer! For a file management app, this is my favorite, because it also support Honeycomb 3.1!! It is an easily usable app with a beautiful interface.
