Lenovo Unveils Flurry of Android Phones and Tablets Lenovo Unveils Flurry of Android Phones and Tablets by Quentyn Kennemer on November 29th, 2011 at 8:24 am Lenovo has unveiled their updated line of Android tablets and phones. Starting with their tablets, we have the S2007 and S2010, 7 and 10 inch tablets, respectively. We’re looking at 1GB of RAM, a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, 1280×800 resolution, an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel front camera for both devices. Different between the two are battery capacities with the 7 inch version getting a 3780 mAh battery (good enough for 8 hours) and the 10 inch version getting 7560 mAh battery good enough for 10-11 hours. Both these tablets also have Android 3.2 but are due for upgrades to 4.0 sometime down the line. The LePhone S2 was also unveiled but it’s not quite as powerful as we thought it’d be. It still looks to be a decent phone, though, with its 1.4GHz single-core Qualcomm processor and a 3.8 inch WVGA display. Interestingly enough, Lenovo will be offering two different configurations – one will get you 512MB of RAM with 8GB of internal storage and the other will give you 1GB of RAM with 16GB of storage. The internal storage differences don’t surprise me but it’s not often you see a difference in RAM. Both will have 8 megapixel cameras with 720p HD video recording. As with previous Android-based Lenovo phones and tablets, we aren’t too confident these will make their way stateside. For now, China will be your sole marketplace to find one whenever it does launch. [Engadget 1, 2]

OMG! G+ Hangouts (video conf. w/ up to 10 of your friends/family) is coming to an Android phone near you New Galaxy Nexus Commerical Hightlights Google+ Hangouts and… Beat Boxing (No, Really) [Video] by Chris Chavez on November 28th, 2011 at 8:02 pm As sick as most of you are of hearing about the Galaxy Nexus and not being able to get your hands on one, in light of the current situation, I am still very much enjoying reading/watching/hearing every bit of Galaxy Nexus news and make it a point to pass along that information with my less tech savvy friends and family. Like this fun Galaxy Nexus video from the boys at Google. VIDEO: youtube.com! Would be nice if these nice commercials would make their way to actual live television say, between football plays and such but maybe Verizon has something more planned for the Galaxy Nexus once it’s released this December 8th(?). So while you guys at Verizon (and soon, AT&T and T-Mobile) are flossin’ your shiny new Nex, us at Sprint, will be waiting with no clear launch in sight. [Via AndroidCommunity]

Kiss CRAPple goodbye...it's not mentioned by name but everyone (but iSheep) can figure out what single company could have that affect on Corning Corning Cuts Q4 Glass Sales View; Tablets Partly To Blame By Tiernan Ray Shares of Corning ( GLW) are down $1.48, or 10%, at $13.30 after the company this morning cut its outlook for production of glass for LCD displays this quarter, citing a major Korean customer that wouldn’t buy as much as expected, and also a shortfall in tablet computer demand for the displays. Corning embedded the update in a press release about its corporate controller, Tony Tripeny, speaking today at the Credit Suisse Annual Technology Conference, which he will do at 1:30 pm, Eastern time. The company’s joint venture with Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF), Samsung Corning Precision Materials, Co., Ltd., of which Corning holds a 50% stake, will probably produce only 5% to 10% more glass this quarter than last, versus an original expectation for a 20% or greater increase in glass volume. Prices are expected to drop more sharply this quarter than originally expected, the company said. Corning said it will reduce its glass capacity this quarter in order to stem the buildup of unwanted supply. The company expects to reduce its total capacity worldwide, both its own supply and that of Samsung Corning, by 25% by the end of this quarter. The company also said its sales of “Gorilla Glass,” which is used in many smartphones and other mobile products, will drop 25% from last quarter, worse than the company’s original expectation for a 15% drop. The company attributed that to, “lower worldwide demand for cover glass for tablet computers.” It’s difficult to know just what exactly to make of that last statement. Does the shortfall in Gorilla Glass reflect overall weakness of the tablet market? Does it reflect weakness of non-iPad tablets? Or does it reflect a shift in materials by tablet makers away from what Corning has to offer?

Heard through the grapevine that an idiot shorted Apple in the last week or so and made a profit of about $1 per share before he/she covered at a price in the $370+ range. That is hilarious. Multiply that by 300 and then he or she can brag. Sly, have you shorted Apple stock in the last few weeks? I don't want to be accused of making an attack on an individual on this site. Any individual that shorts Apple for a mere $1 is an idiot IMHO. This is NOT an attack you, but just a general comment about investors that might brag about making pennys when $100s are at stake. Take care.
