Nexus 10 leaks, runs Android 4.2 on a 2500 x 1600 10.1 screen


http://www.fonearena.com/blog/56783/nexus-10-leaks-runs-android-4-2-on-a-2500-x-1600-10-1-screen.html




Google is widely expected to launch a second larger tablet at its upcoming
Android centric event to provide a higher end offering alongside its
current Nexus 7. The Nexus 10 was today leaked by BriefMobile and as
expected, runs Android 4.2 on Samsung manufactured hardware. The screen is
a 10.1" unit with a resolution of 2500x1600. This results in a ppi of 298.9
which is most definitely higher than that on the iPad's retina display.
Powering the tablet is a Samsung Exynos 5250 chip clocked at 1.7Ghz. The
chip handily beats the Qualcomm S4 Pro and Apple's A6 chip in benchmarks.
With a Dual-core Cortex A15 CPU and a Mali T604 GPU, this is the same chip
powering Google's latest Chromebook. Coupled with 2GB of RAM, the hardware
is more than capable of powering the OS, Android 4.2 which brings nifty
additions like multiple user support.
The tablet includes 16GB of storage with no microSD card slot. Connectivity
options include NFC, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. A 5 megapixel camera can be
found at the back alongside an LED flash, a front facing camera is included
for video conferencing. Lending further credence to its multimedia centric
approach is the presence of a dual front facing speaker ...

Samsung did not copy statement published by Apple


http://www.fonearena.com/blog/56757/samsung-did-not-copy-statement-published-by-apple.html




If you've been following the Apple vs Samsung case you'll know that while
the German and US courts had ruled in Apple's favor awarding them over 1
billion dollars in damages, the UK courts passed judgement that Samsung had
not copied Apple. In accordance with the court's ruling, Apple today
published a statement stating that Samsung did not infringe on their
copyright.
However the Cupertino based company also made it abundantly clear that the
reasoning for this was that Apple's superior design and understated appeal
makes it hard to copy. The Samsung tablet was just not 'cool' enough. The
judgement passed on 18th October has effect throughout the European Union.
Apple published its quarterly earnings report last evening and reported
sales of 14 million iPads.
