Galaxy S2 to be launched in US in the month of August: Finally.

According to a report from TechCrunch.com, Samsung's Mobile boss Shin Jong-Kyun told korean reporters, "we expect to launch Galaxy S2 in US sometime in August." After a 3 month long wait since the "iPhone competitor" first made its debut in the Korean market in the month of August, it is all set to break its ground in the US.

Already a whooping 3 Million Galaxy S2 pieces flew of the shelves with in 55 days of the phone's availability in Market. With a 4.3 inch Super Amoled Display and a dual core Self-Made Exynos 1.2 Gig processor running on Android Ginger Bread, among other gracious features, Sammy's S2 is no doubt the No.1 smart phone in the market today.

The phone is all set to hit the Sprint Shelves first (for leaked specs, here.) but certainly, AT&T and Verizon will soon nab it. It's predecessor Galaxy S was also launched on all the 4 carriers so it only follows that the S II will do the same.

The Galaxy S II touts a dual-core 1.2GHz processor underneath Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, with Samsung’s TouchWiz 4.0 UI slapped on top. The 8-megapixel rear-facing shooter is capable of capturing video in 1080p, and the 2-megapixel front-facing camera should make you look pretty during your Google Video Chats. Plus, the Galaxy S II’s 4.3-inch 480×800 Super AMOLED Plus display has the potential to rival almost any touchscreen out there. Detailed Specs here.

Apple Mac OS X Lion available now in the App Store

For 'developers' willing to shell out $99 for an annual membership in Apple's group of Mac OS app creators, Lion is old news but the rest of you can finally download Apple's latest operating system -- Mac OS 10.7 -- by hitting up the App Store on your Snow Leopard (10.6.8)-equipped Mac, assuming it's powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, i5 or i7 processor. From our experience with the pre-release version, the 4GB download could take over an hour, even on a high-speed connection, but once you have the installer in hand the upgrade process itself should be complete in about 20 minutes. We'll be posting a full review of Lion later this week, but you can check out our hands-on preview for a sneak peek at Apple's latest consumer OS in the meantime.

Amazon to launch a Tablet by October End.!

The Amazon's Rumored tablet which will vie with Apple's iPad2 and Sammy's Galaxy Tab 2, among other products is all set for a launch in the month of October according to a report from the Wall Street Journal

The tablet will be one of the three hardware products that are going to come from the Amazon in the upcoming Quarter with which Amazon is all set for a clash in the Tablet Market. 

The other devices are a touch-screen version of the Kindle and an “improved and cheaper adaptation” of the current Kindle, which sells for $139. (Amazon on Wednesday also cut the price of its Kindle 3G, which works off AT&T’s wireless network, from $189 to $139.) Though the report states that the tablet won’t have a camera, no further details were provided.

Such a device might make sense since the market for ereaders seems to be splitting between single-function devices like the Kindle and the iPad. Amazon rival Barnes & Noble is attempting to address both segments of the market with its Nook Color — whose latest iteration includes support for Android 2.2 (Froyo) and Adobe Flash along with an app store with hundreds of apps — and Simple Touch, a $139 device that competes head-to-head with Kindle.
