Samsung Galaxy Premier GT-I9260 Officially Released and Available on November

Before there have been rumors about Samsung Galaxy Premier GT-I9260 that will have features similar to the Galaxy S III, but now with the new leaked images, we see that this phone is essentially the Galaxy Nexus with slightly updated hardware and running Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz interface on top of Android 4.1.

                        

Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy Premier I9260 smartphone has been appearing all over the Internet lately, with images cropping up hinting at soon-to-be-announced availability. As it were, that time has come, with Samsung officially announcing the LTE handset, and the Ukraine being one of the first places it will land. The device is slated for release next month.

Samsung has announced the new I9260 Galaxy Premier. The Galaxy Premier has a 4.65-inch, 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED display, 8 megapixel rear camera with 1080p video recording, 1.9 megapixel front facing camera, 1GB RAM, 8 or 16GB internal memory with microSD card slot, GPS, and NFC.

                        

A dual-core 1.5GHz processor will run proceedings from within, and its connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi and A-GPS. It will have a 2,100mAh battery, and judging by what we have heard and seen about the Galaxy Premier, it slots perfectly between the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Nexus.

Samsung hasn’t announced anything official about the Galaxy Premier, but according to reports, it will be launched in Europesometime in December. Samsung believes this brand-new Galaxy Premier GT-I9260 will fill the void in Samsung’s product lineup after LG launches its Nexus smartphone, which will almost definitely replace the Galaxy Nexus as the flagship Google phone.

Rovio Shows the Gameplay of the Newest Angry Birds Game- Angry Birds Star Wars

The newest Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Star Wars will come to iPhone and Android on November 8, and the Finnish-based Rovio is finally showing off gameplay of the game. It is easily one of the most popular games on any mobile platform.

We don’t have any screenshots yet, but we do have a short video of a bird clad in Jedi robes holding a slingshot-shaped lightsaber.

                        

In the latest trailer for the Star Wars collaboration Rovio shows a few seconds of gameplay footage. The trailer show two birds, the red Luke bid and the pink bird dressed as Princess Leia. The two birds act similarly to other Angry Birds games but with a small twist. I guess it's safe to assume multiple Star Wars characters will make appearances during the course of the game.

After a bit of avian Luke and Leia nonsense, the clip gets around to showing some gameplay. I have to say, the next Star Wars will probably keep me entertained enough, particularly if there’s lots of stuff as good as the AT-AT walker and Tusken Raiders. The Star Wars version of Angry Birds has already made a bit of an impact on Bleeding Cool, so I’m just showing you with below video.

                                         

The iconic slingshot is still present in the Angry Birds Star Wars, but every bird seems to have a new special power. The red bird dressed as Luke Skywalker has a lightsaber which lets him cut through obstacles to get at the bad piggies. We earlier speculated that the new crossover game might feature some elements borrowed from other games in the Angry Birds franchise. It seems casual gaming enthusiasts will not be disappointed. More than the usual slingshot-action, Angry Birds Star Wars will pose additional challenges, such as an AT-AT Walker, which actually shoots back at your birds while they travel in the air.

The game will surely have other Star Wars characters and birds including Han Solo, Chewbacca, and maybe even Lando Carlissian along with the yellow bird, black bird, and blue bird. Rovio hasn’t shown any of those characters in the game yet, but there are some images of them on the Angry Birds Tumblr.

                       

The next Angry Birds game is another franchise tie-in, but this time the franchise is more than just a silly movie about birds. The newest Angry Birds Star Wars will come to a variety of platforms including iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows 8, and Mac on November 8. since time is approaching, let’s just stay tuned!

Windows Phone 8 Finally Launches with Wide Support

On Monday in San Francisco, Microsoft has the launch event for Windows Phone 8, the latest version of the company's 2-year-old smartphone platform. It's Microsoft's newest attempt to regain a foothold in the smartphone market. This new version Windows Phone software comes with broad support from smartphone makers, cellphone carriers and app developers as the software company tries to position new Windows gadgets as strong alternatives to Apple and Android devices.

Windows Phone 8 is the successor to Windows Phone 7, which launched two years ago but has had little traction in the market. Windows Phone 7 wasn't much of a competitor to iOS and Android in large part because it ran on uninspiring hardware, but Windows Phone 8 will help fix that by supporting current Qualcomm processors, along with high-resolution screens and the latest wireless specs.

                    

Back in San Francisco on Monday, Microsoft transformed an area of a civic-center auditorium into a temporary swanky, chill lounge, complete with mood lighting and lit wall panels echoing Windows Phone’s live tile colors. Microsoft executives touted the fun of the new phone, emphasizing how users can personalize it to what’s important to them.

                     

“People all over the world are about to fall in love with Windows Phones,” Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at the Windows Phone 8 launch event in San Francisco on Monday.

Windows Phone 8 (WP8) is elegant, personable, and different. It absolutely shines for those who use their smartphones for a lot of calling, texting, and Facebooking, and especially people who connect to Microsoft anything—whether that's Outlook, Hotmail, Exchange, Skydrive, Office 365, or Xbox. If iOS bores you and Android intimidates you, Windows Phone will likely dazzle you.

                      

One light spot of the software les in the Kids Corner, which lets you lock down parts of the phone when you hand the device over to a young one dying to play "Angry Birds" or "Fruit Ninja." You can determine what apps you'd like your child to have access to and configure it so they can't get into your email or Twitter account.

In addition, Microsoft said it will also catch up in offering third-party apps. There are 120,000 applications available for Windows Phone, but some apps that are popular on other systems are notably missing from Windows Phone because it can be hard to get developers interested in writing programs for a small number of smartphones. Belfiore also announced the Pandora app will come to Windows Phone Store 8 in 2013 and that it will include a year of free music with no ads.

                      

The new software will run on more powerful phones with flagship models coming from Nokia, Samsung and HTC. Together, they’ll launch eight Windows Phone 8 smartphones before the year is out, starting this weekend overseas and later in November in the U.S. Samsung officials believe that Windows Phone 8 devices like the HTC 8X and the Nokia Lumia 920 will do a better job facing off against the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III in the new round competition.
