Samsung Galaxy S2 updates to Android 4.0

UK Users of the massively successful Samsung Galaxy S2 are now receiving the updates for Android 4.0 that launched earlier in the month in a number of other European countries. The Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 update for the Galaxy S2 was made available for users in Sweden, Hungary Poland and Korea from the 13th of March, before being launched in the UK a week later prior to a programme of gradual launches across the rest of the world. Ice Cream Sandwich is the most up to date version of the mobile operating system developed by Google, and the availability of this system for the Galaxy S2 has been eagerly awaited by fans of the handset.

The Galaxy S2 has become one of the biggest selling and most popular of all of Samsungs mobile phone range since it was originally released in 2011 and the company is currently estimated to have sold more than 20 million of the S2 mobiles in that time. Despite this the company has been comparatively slow in making this Android 4.0 upgrade available for users of the S2, compared to some of the other Samsung phones.

The company’s Galaxy Nexus smartphone was given the status of being the first handset for a mobile device to have Ice Cream Sandwich, when it was upgraded to feature the system last November. However, despite this, sales of the Galaxy S2 have remained extremely strong and with the operating system now set to be available for users of the phone – at least in the UK – it is likely to remain one of the best-selling of all the Samsung phones available.

“Samsung UK can confirm that the rollout of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on Galaxy S2 will be available from week commencing March 19, however the availability of software upgrades in the UK will be dependent upon each network’s own software approvals process,” the company stated.

LED Televisions: The Takeover Has Begun

With the rapidly advancing personal computer market — everything from laptops and desktops to tablets and smartphones — it’s easy to forget that the television market is moving forward by leaps and bounds of its own. It wasn’t long ago that a television was a bulky, square box with a low-resolution picture — perhaps not even a digital image.

Times change, however, and so do televisions. First came the LCD televisions which revolutionized the television market. The consumer was now able to have high definition, widescreen video at home, and the home theater business surged with new opportunities and innovation. Following this initial burst of new technology, plasma televisions came onto the market and offered even better picture quality, with brighter colors and more natural whites and blacks.

nd, recently, the market has again been upended by a superior technology in the form of LED-backlit televisions. LED televisions offered a highly energy efficient backlight, along with colors equally as vivid — if not more so — as those seen on plasma models. Because LEDs are extremely small and efficient, LED models offered the thinnest televisions ever on the market. They also come in at the lightest — making them perfect for that magazine-like mounted television.
The high consumer demand for these superior television models is driving production up worldwide; coinciding with this increased production, generally, is lower cost for the consumer. As has been the case with all major technological breakthroughs, a drop in price means an increase in consumer adoption. By midway through 2011, manufacturers expect LED penetration rates to reach fifty percent in the US market alone — that’s a huge majority when there are three competing technologies.

LED televisions have also paved the way for LED panels becoming common place in many other applications, including laptop and computer monitor displays, mobile phone screens, and in-dash automobile displays. The LED backlight is simply the lightest, brightest, most color-rich display technology available, with one of the most highly anticipated models in 2011 being Samsung’s LED television sets that offer 3D.

Every once in a while, the technology industry stumbles upon a technology that instantly becomes the best of the best, and truly indispensable for a variety of uses. LED technology is one of those discoveries, and LED televisions are poised to continue their takeover of the world market on account of their superior picture quality, unparalleled thin form factor, and energy-friendly consumption rates.

The ASUS ROG G73Jh

Real gamers hate marketers’ lures. Those suits ambush gamers with branded drinks, razors, and PCs. Just create great products instead of selling extreme attitude and garish designs. The ASUS ROG G73Jh-A2 will impress the authentic gaming crowd as a strong laptop. But its high-end internals and neutral case will find appeal beyond the gaming-set target: Anyone looking for a big-screen portable should consider this model. While the G73Jh skimps on some media features–no Blu-ray player, for example–its nimble performance can make it your primary rig for anything from BioShock 2 to Adobe CS5.

The $1599 G73Jh swings hard in our benchmarking, rating an overall 89 in its performance score while rattling off 111 points in our WorldBench 6 test suite. An Intel Core i7 Q 720 running at 1.6GHz powers nearly any application, from content-creation to gaming. In the Unreal Tournament 3 test (at high-quality, 1024-by-768-resolution settings), the laptop pulled in an average of 92.5 frames per second; that shows enough power to keep any current title smooth.

We pushed the system further, testing the latest titles, including Just Cause 2 and Metro 2033. Both look and play great. With the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 GPU and a gigabyte of dedicated graphics RAM, it might be a while before some upcoming title causes this system to break a sweat.

The G73Jh feels like a solid laptop. At 8 pounds and with a huge footprint, you’re not going to tote this around without a toll to your chiropractor. But somehow, the PC feels more agile than its weight suggests, comfortably sitting on a your lap.

The big surface area lets the keyboard and touchpad stretch out. The laptop includes a full number pad, but those keys are slightly narrower than normal. The keyboard feels tight and responsive to typing, and the big wrist rest helps you stay comfortable. You even have enough room (barely) to use the included Razer Abyssus mouse directly on the wrist rest.

That simple two-button-and-scroll mouse includes high-speed modes to better track your movement. I didn’t notice any difference with those settings, but the pointer feels light and good in-hand overall. The track pad misses, however. While the big surface feels great for moving the cursor, it includes a teeter-totter button for left- and right-clicks. Push near the middle, and you’ll have to use a lot of pressure. Push directly in the center, and it won’t click at all.

The 17.3-inch, 1920-by-1080-pixel screen looks great in most situations. You can view multiple spreadsheets or get absorbed into games and movies. Text looks clean, and it shows off a bright range of color. Contrast is good, but it sometimes suffers under the slightly glossy surface; the laptop can handle a fairly bright room, but reflections can overpower the image near windows or outside. The screen also doesn’t tilt back quite far enough. You’ll probably never have a problem with its angle on a desk, but you might want it to lean a little further if it’s perched on your lap.

With a 1080p display, strong video processor, and target audience of gamers, the G73Jh begs for Blu-ray support. Unfortunately, that kind of drive didn’t make the cut. Instead, you get a DVD- and CD-burner. Hard disks fare batter, with this model including two 500GB drives in a RAID array.

Make your iPad a better device for your music

Here are five things I’d like to see the iPad incorporate, perhaps through the next update to the iPhone OS.

Wireless sync. The iPad is not a Mac. That means it doesn’t run the full iTunes client, so you can’t share music from another computer over your home network. Instead, like an iPod or iPhone, you must physically connect it to the computer on which your music is stored, then wait for the music to travel over the wire. This is, frankly, absurd. If you want me to use the iPad to listen to music in my home, don’t make me walk over to my computer and attach it every time I want to load some new tunes. Wireless sync would also be great for syncing other material like pictures, videos, and apps. How hard can it be? Microsoft’s Zune player has had wireless sync for three iterations and more than two years.

Cloud-based music service. Even if the iPad had wireless sync, the most affordable model has only 16GB of storage. This isn’t enough for most music lovers’ digital collections, especially if they’re going to use the iPad for other functions like electronic books and photos. So how about taking that Lala acquisition and using it? Instead of having to load music onto the iPad itself, I could sync it from my computer to Lala’s online music locker service, then stream it over the Web directly to my device. Bye-bye, storage limits. Best of all, every time I update my music collection, it’s updated everywhere simultaneously. This is such a no-brainer I’d be stunned if Apple doesn’t make it available shortly after the iPad launches.

Music-sharing with third-party apps. There are some surprisingly sophisticated DJ apps for iPhone, like TouchDJ and DJ Mixer, that let you play two songs at the same time and mix them together like a mulitrack DJ set-up. These apps would be much easier to use on the iPad’s 9.7-inch screen. But they all share one big shortcoming: they can’t just play songs that you’ve already loaded onto your device. Instead, you have to re-load songs into the DJ apps, either from a sync application running on your computer or over a Web server. This isn’t the fault of the app designers–it’s a limitation that Apple places on the iPhone and iPod Touch. I hope Apple figures out a way around it soon.

Queuing. I like to play DJ. As one song plays, it sparks associations with other songs. It would be nice to be able to load these other songs into a “now playing” queue. The Zune’s had this feature since its inception, but I can’t do it on the iPod Touch or the iPhone–instead, I have to wait for the current song to end, then start up a new song. (And no, I don’t want to do this with playlists on the computer and then sync those playlists to the device. That misses the entire point of spontaneity.)

Decent speakers (and amp). Naturally, the first thing I did with the iPad was check out its music playback. I could barely hear it, even with the volume maxed out. It’s true that the room was crowded with gadget fans scrambling for their first look at the device, but even so, the speakers sounded no louder than the iPhone’s. But this isn’t a phone. It’s also not a Mac, where music isn’t the primary focus for most users. It’s a consumer electronics device. It would be great if I could set it up in my living room or bedroom without having to attach it to another device. Peripheral makers might complain–iHome does great work creating audio accessories for the iPhone–but if this is truly going to be a new product category.
