The Samsung Galaxy S2 – i9100, is expected to launch next week at MWC. The specs of this particular smartphone have been leaked online and show that it runs a 1.2GHz Samsung Orion processor and has a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus screen, also by Samsung from what we understand.

The device, possibly pictured below, will have NFC communications built in. It will run Google Android 2.3 when it launches and we assume this will be updated to the even newer Android 2.3.3 that boosts the NFC capabilities even further. [Read more…]

ViewSonic has introduced a couple of new devices just ahead of MWC that kicks off in a few days time.

First on the list is the ViewPad 10Pro that is described as being a professional tablet. It has a 10 inch screen and is capable of dual booting between Windows 7 Professional and Android 2.2. The idea behind this is that the user uses Android for email and basic web browsing, but switches to Windows when a little more kick is needed. When running Android, users benefit from the instant-on allowing emails to be checked easily whilst on the move. [Read more…]

Google has added the Priority Inbox feature to the mobile version of Gmail. Until now, the priority inbox feature was available for Android smartphones in the app as well as regular web users. This new change brings it to the mobile version for smartphones and from what we can see, the iPad too although that might have been available previously.

Priority inbox on mobile can be seen when clicking the Menu button. Previously you’ll have just seen the inbox, sent items, starred items etc… Now when clicking menu you see a section at the top of the screen (as pictured below) and here you can go direct to your priority emails. One problem is that you cannot designate emails to be more or less priority from the mobile interface, so once in a while you’ll still need to visit the desktop to train the system. [Read more…]
