Samsung Epic Touch 4G Launching on Sprint September 9th?

An unsubstantiated report coming out of SprintFeed claims that Sprint could be among the first of the US carriers to launch the Samsung Galaxy S II. Under the name Epic Touch 4G, we could be seeing the followup to last year’s Epic 4G as early as September 9th. The timing matches up with previous whispers about the launch of the Galaxy S II in the States, but the date remains a rumor for now. All will be revealed (we hope) come August 29th at Samsung’s launch event for its new North American lineup.

Gingerbread Goes Grandiose with Mobiado’s Grand Touch Luxury Handsets

By this point, we are fairly used to luxury brands producing Android handsets here and there, though exorbitant price tags are typically meshed with specs that you might find on last year’s mid-range handsets. For all the diamonds, leather, and gold plating its hard to imagine even multi-billionaires throwing money at these devices. Enter Mabiado, a company familiar with the luxury cell phone but new to the luxury smartphone. The handset they have managed to produce for once sounds like an appealing blend of luxury and function, but if Grand Touch series’ specs at all sound familiar chalk it up to a clever ruse on Mobiado’s part.
It appears they have simply taken an order of Nexus S handsets and outfitted them in precious metals and other pricey embellishments. The Grand Touch CNC is made of precision machined solid aircraft aluminum. The Grand Touch GCB is outfitted in 24k gold. Both feature their fair share of sapphire crystal accents. Both also feature a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 16GB of internal storage and run Android Gingerbread. Looking at the renders of the handset, there is no mistaking Mobiado’s starting point.
And how much might you spend for such a well-dressed Nexus S? Mobiado has declined to name the price outright, but we wouldn’t worry about it. This one is well out of your budget.

New iPod Touch 5G could give competition to Android

As you may have noticed, this blog is dedicated to talking about the new devices, applications, and games for Android, they’ll make an exception today and talk about direct competition with Android (iPod Touch 5G).
A friend recently showed me a very interesting article where they talk about what will be the new iPod Touch 5G, which would be released in the coming months.
It seems that this device would have 3G connectivity, while not allowed to function as a conventional mobile phone, taking into account the number of applications that allow us to call or send messages, we could say that the iPod Touch 5G will be a kind of mobile, so, Android Vs Apple battle will be more interesting.
