New Samsung Superphone named Hercules coming to T-Mobile

The new Android phone named Hercules will have a 4.5 inch Super AMOLED plus display and has very powerful specs.  It appears the phone may be released by T-Mobile sometime in August.  Here is some of the early specs for this smartphone:


  • 4.5-inch 480 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display
  • Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
  • NFC support, though compatibility with the forthcoming ISIS mobile payment standard is “to be determined”
  • Category 24 HSDPA (42Mbps) and Category 6 HSUPA (5.76Mbps) for extremely fast HSPA+ support — faster than any HSPA+ phone currently sold in the US
  • AWS plus 850 / 1900MHz compatibility for support on AT&T’s “4G” network if the merger succeeds
  • Preliminary measurements place it at 5.16 x 2.76 x 0.37 inches — within a few hundredths of an inch of the Infuse
  • 16GB internal ROM, 1GB internal RAM, external microSD up to 32GB
  • Apparently it will have a Qualcomm 1.2GHz dual-core APQ8060 application processor, which is highly unusual for Samsung, especially considering the performance of its own multi-core Exynos line
  • 8 megapixel primary camera with flash and 1080p video capture, secondary front-facing camera
  • Won’t have a dedicated HDMI port, but will have MHL for HDMI HDTV charging

AT&T changes Android app policy

AT&T has decided to allow its smartphone customers to install applications downloaded outside the Android market.  The new AT&T  Samsung Infuse is the first AT&T phone that is capable of installing apps from a source that is not from the market.  Sometime in the future technical updates will allow all AT&T Android phones to install apps from non-market sources.

Best Value in a Video Game Little Big Planet 2

Little Big Planet 2 for the Playstation 3 has to be one of the best video games for your money spent ever created.  The tutorials and create mode give you the ability to create your own space invaders type level, call of duty, Bioshock, or a sports type level.  With the ability to share millions of user-created levels on the internet you could play new levels for possibly the rest of your life. What other video game out there gives you the option to create new experiences. Someone who creates a level for this game may create the next great  Mario Brothers or Sonic game when they grow up.
