Samsung Wave 3 Announced
Samsung’s made a few announcements at IFA recently and the Samsung Wave 3 is one of them. The Wave 3 is not a super high-end device like many of the handsets we’ve seen coming out of Samsung recently. However, that news in itself is a bit exciting considering that the Wave 3 sports a powerful 1.4GHz single core processor which outstrips even the iPhone 4 and many other current high-end devices.

It seems that once Samsung churns out a great device the many international variations just don’t stop coming.

Any violation of this ban carries a maximum penalty of over $350k and possible jail time for Samsung executives if they are found to be allowing the continuance of sales.
Google Nexus S Review
The Google Nexus S is the first Google-branded phone manufactured by device giant Samsung. Running on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread out of the box and easily upgradeable to 2.3.4 in most countries, the 4 inch Nexus S has seen its fair share of popularity due to its unique outward design, solid specs and penchant for seeing Android updates ahead of the competition.
Samsung Galaxy Z Preview
Goodness knows the original Galaxy S had more versions of it than you could shake a stick at and, true to form, it looks like Samsung is taking the same path with the Galaxy S II. Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Z (I9103); the first semi-clone of the Galaxy S II.

Android 2.3.4 Update for Nexus S
Google has finally started rolling out its Android 2.3.4 update for the Google Nexus S.

Not only that, but Google Talk includes free instant messaging and audio chat between anyone with Android 2.3.4 and higher.
