Samsung’s always in the news when it comes to innovation. Today’s feat sees them bringing the industry’s first “monolithic” four gigabit LPDDR2 RAM module, with several configurations being sampled right now: an 8 Gigabit chip that would afford you 1GB of RAM by stacking two 4 Gigabit chips, and a 16 Gigabit chip that would give you 2GB of RAM by stacking four 4 Gigabit chips. As for that 4 Gigabit chip – it probably still maxes out at 512 MB, but you’ll get more than double the industry’s current data transfer rate clocking in at 1,066 Megabits per second. All of this is done on a 30nm fabrication so it’ll be even more efficient on battery life than current chips. While it’s unlikely we’ll see anything more than 512MB-1GB pushed into a phone with these types of chips, I can imagine tablet manufacturers are licking their chops. [via Samsung Hub]
Galaxy S2!
just in time to not go into the nexus s
If your reading this article chances are you’ve already broke down a bought a high end smart phone.
Chances are it’s already becoming outdated, and your already eyeing a new peice of hardware that’ll be 1uped just the same in a month or so.
So there’s no better time then the present to jump on the mobile computing band wagon.
Inovative??? HMMMM….Lets see….. My Fascinate is still not updated to 2.2 even though Motorola has done that and then some!. I just got off of chat with support and they dont even have a clue when or if it will happen
@hmm I understand your complaint. In general I think people should see this trend though and mitigate their expectations. When I buy my next model I will do one of two things. First make sure there is a third party interest in improving the software or second, assume that the version of code it ships with is what I have to work with.
I think that many of these companies still look at these devices more as phones with extras than as mobile computers with built in phones. Traditionally most mobile phones seemed to come with the onboard software and that’s what you got until you upgraded to a different phone. That may be anecdotal and maybe instead the companies are just moving too fast to provide true customer support as they should.
Not saying you are wrong. You are right to want more. Just saying everyone should see the trends and take that into account when buying. That said I do think they are innovators in terms of hardware development and features and that’s good for all of us. I want more, keep it coming!

Take a look at this article. From a very trusty source, it seems as if gingerbread is coming to Galaxy S series phones before anyone else thanks to Nexus S. They might be skipping Froyo.

I have to agree with this statement. Being from Canada, and a regular working Joe like many, I cant afford the current smart phones without a contract discount. Plus, We’ll get last years big phones now just before Xmas, and everything that’s coming out now in the spring. I would guess it’s probably due to the fact that there’s almost as many people in the State of NY as there is in all of Canada ;-)
