Just four days before the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, another large Korean carrier announced its own Android-running tablet. The Korea Telecoms Identity tab is a 7-inch Eclair-running slate with a 1GHz CPU and 8 GB of internal storage.

There will also be an SD expansion slot and a DMB TV tuner inside the aluminum-clad tablet. with 3MP camera will also be at your disposal, while the resolution of the display will be WVGA.

The highlights of the specs sheet continue with 512 MB of RAM, a built-in GPS, and standard miniUSB data and 3.5mm audio connectors. The built-in Wi-Fi antenna will support the b, g and n standards, while the 4000 mAh battery promises up to 72 hours of stand or 3.5 hours of video playback (which is quite modest if you ask us).

Samsung has just announced the next member of the Wave family, the Samsung S7230E Wave 723. Like its more expensive brother, the S8500 Wave, the Wave 723 will also be based on the Bada platform.

While it does not have a Super AMOLED touchscreen, the newbie still manages to impress with its feature pack. As mentioned above, the Wave 723 runs the Bada OS (with the TouchWiz 3.0) and developers can use the Bada SDK 1.1 to create applications for the upcoming device. By the way, the new SDK automatically downscales the UI of apps made for the first Bada-loving smartphone, theSamsung S8500 Wave, so that they match the resolution of the new entry level smartphone.

The Samsung S7230E Wave 723 smartphone is expected to start shipping in September and it will be selling for about 240 Euro.

After the several leaked Froyo updates for the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S we can finally welcome the first supplied via the Samsung KIES desktop software. Meanwhile, the company announced it's sold over a million units of the various Galaxy S incarnations on the US market in less than two months.

The Samsung Galaxy S is known under one too many names in the US. AT&T customers know it as theSamsung i897 Captivate, T-Mobile calls it the Samsung Vibrant, while Sprint is about to sell it as the QWERTY-fied Samsung Epic 4G. As for Verizon, it's launching its Galaxy S version as the Samsung Fascinate in September.

As for the Android 2.2 update, its not the first official Froyo update for the Galaxy S we see but it's the only one (so far) that comes directly through the company's Kies software. We went ahead and installed the new firmware (version I9000XXJPC) and so far we're pleased with it. It still needs some final touches - we experienced some occasional freezes and lags (nothing major, though).

Update your Galaxy S NOW OTA !!!

State Farm might be an insurance company that like any other preys on the misfortunes of everyday people to make a huge profit, but that does not mean they don’t have your safety as an interest. Take the inclusion of a new (On the Move) widget in the latest version of their Pocket Agent app for example. While they aren’t to first to devise an app or widget that will auto-respond to texts in various situations, it certainly does a pretty good job. Of course the aim is to get you to leave your phone alone while in transit, allowing a pre-set message to answer for you, but you could get some other uses out of it too, say when you are in the movies or at a meeting.

Take a look at the new Google Voice widget for Android 2.2 that would come bundled into the firmware of the T-Mobile G2. It turns out that was just the setting portion of the widget, which will also display the text of recently-transcribed voicemail. One of our readers was kind enough to boot up the leaked Froyo ROM for the G2 and snap some screenies of what we can expect come September 29th. It is not anything necessarily earth shattering considering that it looks the same as any other vanilla Android 2.2 we have seen but there are a few additions worth mentioning.

You will see that while HTC Sense is not present on the device, HTC Calibrate is still present. We also get a look at the standard TMo apps that will come on the device. This should give Android-purists that love HTC hardware something to get truly excited about. Feel free to peruse the images below at your own leisure.
