"By the way, on that I want you to keep, us to keep having the dialogue as to what ... ... More »First wiretap played at Gupta insider-trading trial

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 redesigned with S Pen in mind
BGR News - 17 mins ago
As previously reported, after a less than stellar unveiling at Mobile World Congress in February, Samsung delayed the launch of its Galaxy Note 10.1 in order to make revisions. The original Galaxy Note 10.1 featured a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800-pixel display, a dual-core Exynos processor clocked at 1.4GHz, 1GB of RAM and a 3-megapixel rear camera. The slate utilized Samsung’s S-Pen stylus, however unlike its “phablet” counterpart, the device lacked a slot to store the nifty stylus. Samsung has addressed the issue in the redesigned version of its upcoming tablet, and the company added a new quad-core Exynos processor as well, according to Tablet Community. Unfortunately, the South Korea vendor has not announced a release date for the device. A second image More »Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 redesigned with S Pen in mind
