Samsung confirms Galaxy S3 Delay, Coming 1st half of 2012
Some phones are just too big for Mobile World Congress. That’s Samsung’s thinking, given the triumphant launch of its Galaxy S II — in all its guises. While specifications for Sammy’s next flagship are spinning rumor windmills across the web, there’s nothing particularly concrete on what we’ll be seeing just yet. However, in an official statement received by Techradar, the manufacturer revealed that the phone will be treated to its very own launch — something it’s also plotting for its new Google TV sets. In its own words:
“Samsung is looking [...]

Not even Disney’s Star Tours is safe from the Star Wars prequels
Not too long ago there was a rumor going ’round that Disney wanted to update its aging but awesome Star Wars ride, Star Tours. What sounded like a mere refresh is now a full-blown replacement, as Disney announced that it will cease taking passengers on Star Tours in Disneyland and Disney World on July 27th and September 8th, respectively.
A new version of the Star Wars adventure will open up in May 2011 and feature a 3-D screen and podracing. (Yay?) The ride looks like its shares the “tours” theme of the original, though expect plenty of more prequel-style action, which I can’t [...]

HTC Evo 4G to Cost $200 on Contract
Rumor has it that the sexy looking HTC Evo 4G which happens to be a power house as well will cost just $200 on contract. This rumor comes from a Best Buy representative which might have some weight to it but you never know.
If this rumor turns out to be true, then the 4G enabled phone will be costing the same as the HTC Incredible which as the name suggests is simply incredible. This is a bit surprising considering the fact that it has a gigantic 4.3 inch touch-screen and WiMax.
But I don’t see a reason to complain? Do you? Anyhow, this device also has a front facing video camera [...]

How should the iPhone integrate multitasking?
One of the main gripes about the iPhone/iPad operating system is that it doesn’t support multitasking. You can’t run more than one app at once, which is annoying. But rumor has it that that will change when the iPhone 4.0 software is released this summer.
So how would multitasking work? Similar to Expose in OS X. Hit the home button twice and all of your apps will spread out as small icons across your screen. Tap one to go to it. It’s a pretty easy.
Would you do it differently? On Android, you can pull a menu down from the top of the window to access things like text messages, [...]

New Nintendo DS with tilt control in the works?
Rumor has it that Nintendo is hard at work on a followup to its incredibly popular DS handheld; a DS2, if you will. They’re far enough along, in fact, that a handful of developers in Japan already have development kits.
These kits hint at the capabilities of the new handheld, including motion controls. This is in no way surprising, given that Nintendo’s Wii brought motion controls to the masses and the iPhone brought it to handheld gaming. But it looks like Nintendo is keeping motion controls at the heart of their plans. Hopefully we’ll have more details about the DS2 soon.

She further expects Microsoft to collaborate with an established OEM to produce the actual [...]
