Samsung notes that there is no sign up process required and the new store makes it easy for Samsung smartphone owners to get premium apps. Apps purchased on the store are paid for using a credit card. In the coming future the premium apps will be able to be billed directly to the customer’s phone bill.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Future payment options will also allow the buyer to deduct the cost from a SIM card balance.

UK Samsung owners can start downloading today.</div> <blockquote style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 3em; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “Anyone that signs up to Samsung Apps Store for Android today, will find a multitude of free and premium apps already available.

HTC Incredible Official 2.3 Gingerbread Update Leaked [Download]

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; font: normal normal normal 13px/19px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 0.6em; padding-left: 0.6em; padding-right: 0.6em; padding-top: 0.6em;"> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="312" mce_src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6338/incgbrd1.jpg" src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6338/incgbrd1.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" title="incgbrd" width="179" />We have heard our fair share about the HTC Incredible over the past week. Earlier in the month we heard the Incredible would not be lucky enough to receive an update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread but that was quickly found to be untrue. Someone from support was wrong on that because not only was it indeed getting the update, but it was almost ready to begin rolling out already.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> New details are showing the update was again delayed and not available but I have good news for you Incredible owners. It appears the official version being rolled out by Verizon and HTC has been leaked. The exact version listed right on Verizon’s website seen here has now leaked and we have it available for download for those who don’t want to wait.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> This looks like the final build right from HTC, it shares the same version number from Verizon’s documentation (4.06.605.2), and the same baseband (2.15.10.07.07) too. This is the full RUU leak so users will be required to wipe their data in order to flash the update. Without much talking, enjoy that Gingerbread you Incredible owners.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="strong" mce_style="font-weight: bold;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Installation Instructions:</span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Download this file (MD5: 096d841530dd2f223ef4a1b701c7d429)<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />Rename the file to <span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="strong" mce_style="font-weight: bold;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">PB31IMG.zip</span><br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />Drop it to the root of the SD Card<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />Boot into the bootloader<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />Flash as usual</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Be sure to remember that you assume all risk involved in flashing these leaked files. Do this at your own will and we hold no responsibility for your actions. As always I’d perform a nandroid backup as well as backing up all user data and settings before doing a wipe just to be safe — I always do.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;

Inverted Twitter App, Socialize with a Black Color Theme

Well those of you that haven’t fully migrated to Google+ of course. Today I have another Android app that has been inverted with a black color theme for you all to enjoy. Now you can tweet, twit, or do whatever it is you do in style with the “Black n Bold” Theme for Twitter. This adds style to Twitter while saving battery life at the same time.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> This isn’t the first Inverted app I’ve posted as of late. Recently I showed you all the Google+ Inverted App and everyone seemed to love that although a few had issues with getting it going at first. Last week we featured Gmail getting the same treatment but today is all about the little birds of Twitter (and the wales).</div> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-48143 aligncenter" height="191" mce_src="http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/7228/twitterblack540x319.jpg" src="http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/7228/twitterblack540x319.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" title="Twitter black" width="324" /></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> See for yourself with the picture above. It looks sharp right? I’ve been using this for the past few hours this morning and I’ve yet to experience any issues. Make sure to uninstall the original Twitter app first, and back it up if you’d like although it’s always available from the market. This does not require root so you can just go ahead and check out the details at the source link, and download the modded APK and install like any other application. If you have any questions before continuing make sure to ask over at the RootzWiki thread.</div> </div> </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; font: normal normal normal 13px/19px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 0.6em; padding-left: 0.6em; padding-right: 0.6em; padding-top: 0.6em;"> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="157" mce_src="http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/411/googlevideos540x262.png" src="http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/411/googlevideos540x262.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" title="google videos" width="324" />This has been discussed more than a few times since we first found out the Google Videos App would not allow rooted users to watch rental movies on their devices. For more details on that you can check this story out. Just yesterday Google updated the video app to allow streaming and playback of rented movies on FroYo and Gingerbread devices too. We have good news for those rooted users though.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> The developers over at SDX have been hard at work, we can now use a modded version of the app where they have removed the root check so all devices will be able to enjoy movie playback. This version should also work with all supported devices running Android 2.2 and above so those on older Android are also in luck.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> As always make sure to backup or save the previous version just to be safe, otherwise uninstall and install the new modded APK and you are good to go. For the few not wanting to use the modded APK and have rooted devices and rented movies didn’t play, you can also go to the YouTube app and watch them through “rentals” in YouTube as Google has yet to implement the root check into it — just a tip! Head on to the source for more details.</div> </div> </div>

Basically this will be similar to the free app of the day that Amazon has been doing but instead gold members will have a list of top Android apps each week to choose from. I can’t complain about free stuff, who would right?</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> This week they have a great selection too, with apps like Swiftkey X, Backbreaker, The Moron Test and more. I do want to mention that in the past if you’ve ever used GetJar they offer single app downloads so getting app updates isn’t usually on their list. Whether they will start offering updates for paid apps with GetJar Gold we still don’t know, as updates are pretty important.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Developers might not like the idea just like some have said in the past with Amazon’s free apps, but the more options for consumers the better. GetJar is hoping this will drive in more traffic to the site by offering free top quality apps to gold members. Check out all the freebies this week at the source link below.</div> </div> </div>

This past Monday the new HTC Status for AT&T went on sale for $50. Later on, details of the Samsung Galaxy Q phone/tablet leaked; sources also say the Galaxy Q may sport a 5.3” bezel-free folding display.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> We heard that CyanogenMod 7 nightlies for the Samsung Galaxy S II were coming soon earlier on this week, and as of Thursday, it has been available on the download mirrors! Those itching to have their own Galaxy S II shouldn’t have to wait too much longer, as it may head to the US in August. Yet another rather new device receiving it’s own customized ROM is the Motorola Droid X2. It’s titled MinX ROM Beta, and improvements include removed bloatware and performance enhancements. We should see some new ROMs very soon for the HTC Sensation as it recently acquired S-Off. Hopefully the HTC EVO 3D is up next. Rogers Canada says the HTC EVO 3D bootloader will launch unlocked.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> There had been some speculation to whether Google would ever release the Nexus S officially on AT&T. It has now become official; Samsung Nexus S will debut on the AT&T network July 24 (tomorrow). Also hitting the network soon will be the HTC Puccini tablet. It just hit the FCC and will be packing 4G LTE! AT&T is having a “Free for a Year” sweepstakes going on now, so don’t forget to participate for your chance to win!</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Chris Burns presented a few nice hands-on video demonstrations of both the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet and Lenovo IdeaPad K1. They look to be an excellent addition to the current Android OS tablets out there. Also reviewed this week was the Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile. This will definitely be the best bang for your buck when buying a smartphone off-contract for under $300.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Autodesk launched SketchBook Pro for Android Tablets this week; finally a polished application to put you’re new Android stylus to good use! Another application to hit this week may interest our more scholarly readers; IntelliVocab is an easier way to study for the SAT, GRE, and GMAT on the go. Verizon is expanding their 4G LTE to 28 new locations this week, just in time for the Droid Bionic hitting August 4th.

Motorola has just updated their support page for the Motorola Atrix 4G and have officially posted the Atrix 4G Gingerbread release available for download — exciting I know. Last we heard they were in the testing phase and doing a soak test so I’m glad to report the update is available so soon.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="strong" mce_style="font-weight: bold;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Update:</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The new versions is also rolling out OTA to handsets as we speak so you can download manually, or wait for it to come over the air. Also this will take you to the new bootloader so if you’d like to be unlocked and have root I suggest you head to this post on XDA for more details about the update.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> We saw this leaked back in June and it was build version 4.5.40 but this latest update available now is updated to version 4.5.91 and should have many fixes over the previous leak as well as new enhancements to the Motorola UI overlay. Checking out the release notes reveals not only Android 2.3.4 but updates to the UI, music app, gallery, they’ve updated some icons as well as cleaned up the view of the app tray just to name a few.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Two big changes I see is they’ve added not only Firefox 4.0 to the device for webtop browsing but they promise much better performance and a overall better web browsing experience. The update also allows installation of 3rd party apps and you can now click the unknown sources tab in settings to download apps like the Amazon App Store.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> When the original Gingerbread leaked it gave users an unlocked bootloader and so far we know nothing on this latest update. Most likely the bootloader is once again locked so use caution of that matters to you.</div> </div> </span></div>

Download Free PSP Games - Avoid Getting Scammed

<br /> <p>Even though the PSP has only been on the market for a little over two years, it has probably been one of the most important advances in gaming technology in the last decade because it gives people the option to play their PSP games anywhere, anytime, without being confined to their living room couch.</p><p>As with any gaming console used by younger generation there is a demand for cheaper games and accessories and the question of being able to download free PSP games is one of the most common queries I hear.</p><p>The question is, is this possible?</p><p>Well, when you begin to search for free PSP games, you'll find that there are a number of options. In fact, you'll be overloaded with them. Some are good and some are downright dangerous!</p><p><b>Download Free PSP Games </b>- Alternative #1</p><p>If you type in 'download free PSP games' into Google or indeed any of the other search engines, you'll be faced with literally millions of results. One of the first sites you'll come across is probably Ebay.</p><p>Now the last time I checked, there were over a thousand listings claiming to have free psp game downloads but obviously, as with everything on ebay, there is a price to pay. You can't give stuff away for free; it's against their terms of service and I don't know about you but I would trust this type of listing. I even came across one guy who was claiming to tell you the secret of where to download free PSP games - if you paid him for the privilege. Yeah right!</p><p>Ok so Ebay is no good. On to the next option:</p><p><b>Download Free PSP Games </b>- Alternative #2</p><p>Obviously there are many suppliers online and reputable ones at that. The thing is these are big multinational companies. They need to make a profit and offering their members the privilege of being able to download free PSP games just isn't going to happen.</p><p>Many appeared to offer it but there was a catch. What it entailed was paying an on-going monthly fee to get access to as many free PSP downloads as you wanted.</p><p>In some ways this seemed like quite a good deal, although the cost between $50 and $100 per month seemed a bit steep.</p><p>In other words you could be paying up to $1000 a year just to download the latest psp games, movies and accessories. In short, there are better options.</p><p><b>Download Free PSP Games </b>- Alternative #3</p><p>Ok, this is where you've got to be extremely cautious. Again, if you do a search for free PSP games, you'll come across an array of sites trying to attract your attention.</p><p>But here's the thing. If you visit these websites one of two things could happen. Or both!</p><p>The first is that as soon as you hit the landing page, you'll be faced with one of those vibrating banner ads that'll say in flashing writing 'click here to download free PSP games'. Of course, if you click it, you won't find any PSP games at all; you'll just be directed to another page with more banners and pop-ups and this'll just carry on until you close the website down. (if it lets you of course!)</p><p>The second thing that could happen is that the website really does allow you to download free psp games but once you are directed to the page that contains the links and you start downloading them, you'll soon find that your anti-virus software is working over time to stop the flood of spy ware and other baddies that are trying to infect your computer. In conclusion, an obvious no no.</p><p><b>Download Free PSP Games </b>- Alternative #4</p><p>The final option is by far the best. As I discovered, there are a number of websites out that are safe and have legally sound licences that allow you to <a href="http://www.bizazi.com/psp" rel="nofollow" target="_new">download free PSP games</a> by the bundle. And these aren't hacked versions either, they're the real thing.</p><p>As well, you'll also get access to music, movies, videos and other accessories that are all compatible with your PSP device.</p><p>The price? Well to be honest, it's as good as free. Depending on which service you choose (and as you'll discover, there are only three decent ones) you'll pay around a $37 one time fee which will give you unrestricted access to over 20 million free PSP game downloads. And you'll have unlimited access for as long as you own your console.</p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

Sprint may buy $200 million Clearwire debt

If you don’t know, Clearwire provides the WiMax infrastructure that powers the Sprint 4G network for devices like the EVO and the Epic.<br /> I guess this is a much-needed infusion of cash for Clearwire but the future isn’t looking that bright. The company had to lay off 15% of its staff recently and it has even considered selling spectrum to raise some more cash.<br /> Clearwire is still pretty adamant about sticking with WiMax but it is staying flexible in order to switch to Long-Term Evolution if it needs to. The company has previously said that the similarities in the technology would enable it to switch to LTE with a software upgrade of sorts and it has piloted some LTE programs which hit 90 Mbps download speeds.<br /> Sprint has also insisted that WiMax is its 4G strategy, period. It will likely unveil the HTC Shift handset next week at CES to further boost its next-generation mobile data portfolio.<br /> As for the competitors, Verizon and AT&T will rely on LTE for its next-generation mobile data network. Verizon just launched its service in December and AT&T is expected to roll out its network in the middle of 2011.<br /> T-Mobile is relying on its HSPA+ network for its 4G strategy and this already delivers about 21 Mbps download speeds to users in over 100 markets. The nation’s fourth-largest U.S. carrier is expected to announce its plans for HSPA+42 at CES and this could potentially double the download speeds of its mobile data network.<br /> While the technologies may differ, it’s clear that 2011 will be the year of 4G and that’s a great thing for consumers.<br /> [Via <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2010/12/31/sprint-nextel-may-purchase-more-clearwire-debt-clearwire-chairman-departs-marketnewsvideo.html">Forbes</a>]
