It has already been said that one of the best Android smart phones to be released this year is the Samsung Galaxy S. The smart phone from the Korean phone maker has managed to outdo even the HTC Desire and the Nexus One which is a pretty big feat considering that the Nexus One was developed directly by Google and that HTC has a long history with the Android operating system.
Samsung UK has confirmed that the new official launch date for the Froyo update is on November, so those waiting for 2.2 Froyo will not have to wait that long.
In other Samsung related news, the Galaxy Tab touch screen tablet has been confirmed to be heading to Tesco. The electronics retailer has already confirmed that they have the handset ready as they have already opened up pre-order slots. For those hesitating about the price tag of the Android, expect the price to match up against the Apple iPad. In the meanwhile, anyone hoping to get the tablet early might want to get into the pre-order queue as soon as possible.
Samsung’s Omnia 7 on the other hand is officially the first Windows Phone 7 device to be sold in the UK. The phone was purchased by Andrew Willett from Battersea. The 22 year old claimed that since this is the very first competitive platform to be released in the market by Microsoft (as the previous WinMo was too businesslike to match up with Google and Apple).
In other news, the very first Windows Phone 7 handset to be sold in the whole word is the HTC 7 Trophy which was purchased in New Zealand through a local branch of Vodafone NZ. With the WP7 handsets already out, it is only a matter of time before the OS landscape of the smart phone industry radically changes.
