Another Doctored Image Submitted By Apple In Apple vs Samsung Case.

Apple vs Samsung Case Another Inaccurate Image http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

Apple seem to be desperate and it is showing up in all the wrong places.

First it was different aspect ratios of the Samsung Galaxy Tab that was presented to the German court. Apple obtained a an EU wide ban on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but it was later lifted.

Now webwereld site finds that Apple submitted a wrong image of Samsung Galaxy S phone, comparing it to iPhone 3G. Both the phones were depicted as similar, but in actuality, Samsung Galaxy S is about 6% larger than the iPhone 3G, Which I just discarded (broken after 3 years).

Apple should have have gone straight if it has real grievances but this sneaky tactics, makes me stay away from all your iPhones.

Samsung Brings Galaxy S Smartphone And Galaxy Tab to Japan

#Samsung Brings #GalaxyS #GalaxyTab to Japan http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Samsung announced  plans to launch its GALAXY S smartphone and GALAXY Tab smart media device in Japan.
The Galaxy S will be available for sale in late October and the Galaxy Tab, late November. As you know, both the devices are powered by Android 2.2. or Android Froyo.
But the bigger news is that relatively new device, Galaxy S has sold 5 Million units to date, including US, China and Korea.
So the Japanese carriers could only help the rise of the machine and I too am considering a Galaxy Tab instead of a Apple iPad. Specially after the privacy issues of iPhone and iPad Apps.

“The GALAXY S smartphone and GALAXY Tab smart media device are highly promising new products for the smartphone era. We expect our Japanese users to make full use of their high performance to experience the wonderful world of advanced mobile content and functionality via DOCOMO’s state-of-the-art mobile network." voiced Ryuji Yamada, President and CEO of NTT DOCOMO

Samsung Galaxy devices bring whole new experience unmatched by many similar devices, keeping users connected to the world with  e-mail, voice and video call, SMS/MMS or social network with the Galaxy's optimized user interface.

“The GALAXY S and GALAXY Tab will deliver true value and enjoyment through immersive, integrative and intelligent consumer experiences. We are very grateful for the fantastic global response we have received for the GALAXY S and I am convinced that the Japanese market will feel the same, With the launch of the GALAXY Tab and in partnership with NTT DOCOMO, we are bringing Japanese consumers a smart media device that has generated significant excitement across the world.” said JK Shin, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics.
