Unveiling Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet’s Real Machine

As Apple iPad Mini hot sold on sale in the global, its rival Samsung certainly not idle. Although Samsung Galaxy tab series are selling in the small-sized tablet market, it seems inferior to Apple iPad Mini, so more powerful flagship product Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet is rumored to appear. The exposed period of Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is not too long, but its appeared frequency is very high recently and attracts much attention from customers. Recently, foreign media has unveiled the latest pictures based the real machine, and more valuable information will be out later.

According to the leaked pictures, the design style of the Galaxy Note 8.0 is very similar to Samsung Galaxy S 3 or Samsung Galaxy Note 2, also with a physical button and two touch functional buttons. And even the location of S Pen is also the same with the former.

Depending on the past leaked information, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 will be provided with lower configurations than Galaxy Note 10.1 Galaxy Note 10.1 and featured3G network version. It has an 8.0-inch Super Clear LCD touch screen with 1280-by-800 resolution and is configured with 1.6GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core processor (integrated with ARM Mali-400MP GPU), and built in a 2GB RAM and optional 16GB or 32GB ROM. In addition, this tablet will be built in a 4600mAh battery and equipped with S Pen, running the latest Android 4.2 operating system.

iOS 6 Jailbreak Gets in Trouble for New Vision Setting a higher Threshold

As we known, Apple new tablets, iPad mini and iPad 4 are running on iOS 6 operating system. It has been four months since iOS 6 was released. But there is still no exact news about an untethered iOS 6 Jailbreak. Moreover, the latest version iOS 6.1 security updates to set a higher threshold, which makes iOS 6 jailbreak get in trouble.

A well-known IOS hacker 0n1c on Twitter account says: “Apple has taken preventive measures to add an update security for iOS 6.1, though iOS 6 Jailbreak aren’t rolled out until now.”

A big problem for domestic users of Apple iPad and Android tablets is that they must pay for most of games and software on iOS platform, but basically free on Android platform. In my opinion, iOS 6 Jailbreak might be an unachievable dream.

For domestic users, the iOS jailbreak is far more practical than getting free software. It has been four years since Apple entered China, but they still refused to solve the problem of a basic Pinyin input method. In addition, the speed of downloading software from the App Store is also slowly as a snail, and the user experience is getting worse. We all believe that the iOS jailbreak can solve all above problems. So Apple’s products unequipped with Jailbreak will lose more users in China.

Samsung’s Price Hike: Charging Apple 20% More for iPhone & iPad Processors

As Apple claimed Samsung copied iPhone technology, Samsung finally tempted to hit back. Lately, according to a foreign media’s report, Samsung increased the price of mobile processors (inside iPad and iPhone) it provided the Apple by 20%. A source indicated that Apple initially refused to pay it. However, it came back and agreed to pay the additional costs when no alternative provider could be found. It is reported that the two sides of supply contract wouldn’t terminate until 2014.

We have reported that Apple launched the newest product, the iPad mini, and its A5 dual core processors supplied by Samsung. Last year, Apple purchased an estimated 130 million of application processors from Samsung to produce its iPhone and iPad. It is estimated that Apple will purchase over 200 million application processors from Samsung this year. However, Samsung Electronics and Apple offices in South Korea haven’t yet a comment on this massage. In my opinion, Samsung actually hit Apple with its price hike when Apple’s stock price was dropping and its Innovation capability plagued by doubts. The legal battle is growing in intensity after last year’s global lawsuit.
