Of the seemingly countless variants of the Galaxy S that Samsung’s in the process of deploying around the globe, one stands out in a couple very unique (and important) ways: Sprint’s Epic 4G . The Epic hangs on to a couple of the Galaxy line’s most important characteristics — namely the 1GHz Hummingbird processor and the 4-inch Super AMOLED display — but adds in a sliding landscape QWERTY keyboard, support for the wickedly fast WiMAX network that Sprint shares with partner Clearwire, and a handful of other notable one-off customizations. We’ve already taken a look at two of the other US-bound Galaxy S models — AT&T’s Captivate and T-Mobile’s Vibrant — but it shouldn’t take more than a quick glance at the Epic to tell you that this is a very, very different beast. Becoming just the second WiMAX phone released in the States (and the first with a physical keyboard), this is a pretty critical release for Sprint at a time when its subscriber count is just starting to pick up after several quarters of decline — and making things even more interesting is the fact that Sprint’s first WiMAX handset — HTC’s EVO 4G — is simply one of the best phones we’ve ever reviewed. In other words, yeah, you could say that the Epic’s got a lot to live up to. Is it up to the task? Let’s find out.

You know the old ’smoke and fire’ adage by now, and while the alarms aren’t sounding just yet, we get the feeling that they will be shortly. We’ve heard Samsung itself confirm that an Android-based tablet would be departing its labs sometime this year, and since then, we’ve also heard an IFA debut tossed around. Given that said show is but a few weeks out, it’s halfway logical to think that Sammy would be notifying some of its launch partners of its intentions. We can’t be certain that things are locked in just yet, but a ‘Samsung Galaxy Tablet’ has recently surfaced within Vodafone UK’s systems (as shown above). There’s no price or release date accompanying the mention, but it may signal that a 3G-enabled version could be coming to Britons following a proper unveiling in Berlin next month. We’ll keep digging for more, and you can bet we’ll be on the ground in Deutschland for a hands-on should the opportunity arise.

Seagate and Samsung — not exactly rivals in every facet, but certainly not buddy-buddy in the storage realm. These two have been attempting to one-up each other for as long as platters have been stacked within 3.5-inch HDD enclosures (and before, probably), but they’re putting their differences aside today and announcing a tag-team arrangement meant to jointly develop controller technology for enterprise SSDs. Under the newfangled agreement, the two mega-corps will work hand-in-hand and cross-license related controller technologies for solid state drive devices, with a goal to increase reliability and endurance for use in business environments. Curiously enough, the companies didn’t hand out any press imagery nor any specific details about what future devices would be emerging from the partnership; and yeah, we’re also wondering which logo is going to end up splashed across the packaging. While this may all seem distanced from you and your laptop at the moment, it’s surely just a matter of time before enterprise demands become consumer demands. Right, fellas?

Remember the HTC Glacier spotted in a database a few months ago? Neither did we, but it’s back and eating most every other smartphone’s pixel-pushing lunch. Here it is at number four on the GLBenchmark Pro 1.1 charts, where only one variant of Samsung’s Galaxy S and a pair of Tegra 2 tablets managed to keep it from claiming the top spot. AlienBabelTech , who found the entry, believes this is evidence the device has one of the new Snapdragon dual-cores , and though we won’t speculate that far, a series of coincidences point to a T-Mobile launch (and a bout of logic has us worrying about battery life) if or when it hits our shores. HTC Glacier leaks out in GLBenchmark database, boasts really high scores originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 03 Aug 2010 22:08:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
