We thought Vlingo’s exclusivity with Sprint would last a month – as we were told at Pepcom in San Francisco a couple of weeks back – but they’ve seemingly cut it short as they’ve announced availability of Vlingo InCar for all Android users. This was in response to an overwhelming amount of feedback they received [...]

We know Samsung has a nice range of accessories lined up for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, but we haven’t heard anything regarding pricing and availability until now.
