Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint Gets Nicely Crafted Promotional Video
We know how it is. Sometimes you just want to sit back and watch a nicely CG-rendered mobile phone video. Especially when it’s just a bunch of promotional videos thrown together. And when it comes to Samsung preaching up their latest Galaxy S line of devices (in this case, the Epic 4G), there’s definitely a lot to talk about. In the video you’ll find out why Super AMOLED is better, and you’ll even get a bold statement like the one in the image below. We do know that the 1GHz Hummingbird processor is fast, and apparently that’s enough for Samsung to make some bold claims.
As for the rest of the video, it’s your standard amount of promotional fanfare. There’s nothing groundbreaking revealed within, but you do get to see plenty of the phone, and it does very well to show off all of the device’s great features. So, sit back on your Thursday afternoon and enjoy the goodness that follows.

Also, the report suggests that HTC is going to manufacture their own displays, to compete with Samsung’s AMOLED technology. This smartphone will have a 2GHz processor, 2 cameras with one being a 10-megapixel featuring 1080p video recording. There’s even a built-in kickstand. And of course, Android OS 2.5 (Gingerbread).

Nokia N900 samples Android 2.2
It’s still being determined which and when Android devices will receive Froyo. The Nokia N900 has been hacked so now its users can receive the Android 2.2 (Froyo). It’s not the full thing just a sample of the Froyo for the “hackers choice” phone, reported by Android Central, it isn’t exactly a very polished built however with missing key functionallity.
The Nokia N900 also has been experiencing some problems with its WiFi connectivity, cell signal, and mounting for the SD card. Well from tests seen it looks like the thing is running fairly smooth. So as the N900 receives sort of a “bootleg” version of the Android 2.2 we will wait and see what other actual Android-based devices get Froyo.
