reports have samsung packaging that up with a keyboard dock and some sort of a hub type connector for USB devices something that i'll let you plug USB things into the galaxy tab so you can use them I hope the sleeve it's just a paperweight right these reports also have the new bundle debuting at best buy stores on August sixteenth which is next thursday a couple of interesting notes about this number one and maybe samsung's way of fighting the recently introduced google nexus 7 the asuste made 199 dollar android tablet at debuted at Google i/o has been getting all kinds of rave reviews and two it may also be a way of clearing out some inventory ahead of the rumored launch date and interesting enough from hearing the same August sixteenth launch over in Hong Kong for the new Galaxy Note 10.1 a tablet ified or S Pen tified version if you will of the 10-inch gal you know no word just yet on a galaxy note seven point oh who knows maybe we'll get the 10 inch tablet with the pen the 7 inch tablet no pen but you get a free keyboard dock and then you get the phablet at five inches or maybe there's something else coming down the road it's just you can't keep up with the tablets these days but August 16 seems to be a big day for samsung tablets so keep your eyes appealed to TechnoBuffalo speaking of tablets some rumors also coming out this week some leaked photos of what is apparently the Sony Xperia Tablet some leaked photos showing a curved design taken from Sony's last generation of tablets but this is just a regular slate just with some curve design elements to it as far as we can tell anyway it looks like this device will hit in September for around four hundred fifty dollars and feature a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor a nine point four inch display at 1280 x 800 resolution dual cameras and 16 gigs of onboard memory again looking for the sony xperia tablet to launch sometime in September also just in time for back to school speaking of coming back we'll

everything that's run out back to school it's just kind of never mind you don't need a rant for me rumours last week or the week before I can't even keep track anymore had Nokia prepping to unveil their first batch of windows phone 8 devices in early September then we had September 12th pegged as the iphone the next iphone release date and now we've got reports that HTC is prepping a trio of its own windows phone 8 devices for launch you guessed it in September reports pointing to the third week of sep tember for a possible launch from HTC of three devices including zenith is expected to feature a 4.7 inch super lcd2 display with an eight megapixel camera and a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor now originally Microsoft had talked about the first windows phone 8 devices coming out in November but given the recent news about the apple iphone launched in September it might be the Microsoft is looking to push things up get Windows Phone 8 out there before or as soon after the new iphone as possible whatever the case one thing we know for sure there will be more smartphones launched this year that's fact this is a rumor show but breaking news that's fact there will be new smartphones probably from Apple and Microsoft maybe couple from google on its partners to all right that's going to do it for the roundup for this week again thanks for our friends over at Carbonite
