Looking for something cool but not overly useful to do with your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1? Might as well check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9" retail mode that has been loaded onto it since Samsung saw fit to leave it on there. As you can tell from the video above, it’s as you would expect — just a demo video of what the device is capable of in addition to showing off the new TouchWiz UI. Here is how you can do it:

  • Update your Galaxy Tab if you haven’t
  • Go to Categories > Utilities
  • Install the 8.9" retail mode app
  • Launch the app, press OK and then enter the password 5444
  • Check the "Service Enable"  box — it will be on a new screen, and then press the lock button.
  • Demo will start shortly.

That’s it. Sit back and enjoy the video and know you’ll soon be getting the new TouchWiz UI you see before you.

Thanks, Will!

White Samsung Galaxy S2 official and coming to Three

By , 30 July, 2011, No Comment

You remember when we told you the Samsung Galaxy S2 was getting a white variant? Well, it’s only gone and got all official!

That’s right, Samsung has issued a press release with words like ‘incredibly’ and ‘stylish’ to what it describes as its ‘whitest smartphone’ – surely the Galaxy Mini might have something to say about that?

Word on the mobile street says that the new colour variant of the phone will be landing across ‘all major networks and retailers from 1 September’.

Three number one

Three is the first to blink in issuing a press release on the subject, offering the ‘new’ phone at a snippity-snip price of £30 per month.

Oh, you can also get the phone for a penny under £499.99 on pay as you go if you don’t want to be tied down to all that contact malarkey.

Samsung is following a growing trend of making things white, the list of which includes: bears, walls, Power Rangers and paper (for those that remember, Papyrus was a pile of crap compared). And all those things were MASSIVE in their own fields.

Samsung ships 5 million Galaxy S II handsets in just 85 days

Samsung has announced that its Galaxy S II is the company’s fastest selling smartphone to date

Samsung has announced that it’s Galaxy S II has shipped a whopping 5 million phones in only 85 days – making it the company’s fastest selling smartphone to date.

And it hasn’t even launched in the U.S. yet. Though it is important to keep in mind that these figures represent shipped units, not end user sales. 

Korean news agency YonHap first announced the news of Samsung’s success. The company now claims a 56% market share in South Korea. 

To put things into perspective, CNET UK points out that Apple sold 18 million iPhone 4s / iPhone 3GS globally in the first three months of 2011 – though most of those sales were in the US.

And there’s no denying that the original Samsung Galaxy S did very well in the States. 

With specs like a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus display, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, we would expect more of the same. 

Keep in mind that the Galaxy S II was recently outed for AT&T and it has already cleared the FCC, so we would expect it to drop in the US sometime in the very near future.
