Samsung has pushed out a major update to its WatchON app, with the most major change being the switch to a darker theme for the whole app, which makes it look better than it did before (at least to me, if you prefer light themes you'll probably hate the dark theme). You can also watch […]

Samsung's only Windows Phone 8 phone, the ATIV S, is now available for an awesome price of €209 (with free shipping) from German retailer Notebooksbilliger – if you can live with Windows Phone and its lack of apps compared to Android (and iOS), that's as great a deal as you can ever get for such a high-end […]
While Samsung may be ruling the roost with its Android-based smartphones, the company isn't keeping its eggs in just one basket and has been working actively on Tizen, an open source operating system that Samsung teamed up with Intel to create.

Samsung was dealt a huge blow when the U.S. government overturned a ban the company had managed to obtain over some of Apple's products over a patent claim, so it looks like they're going after the other 3 patents whose claims were rejected in the same ruling: the company has confirmed that it is appealing […]
Samsung and BlackBerry joining hands isn't something we would expect normally (especially since the former is trying take over the latter's enterprise market), but that's exactly what the two companies have done: Samsung will offer BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for Android to owners of its Galaxy devices in Africa, through the Samsung Apps app store. BBM […]
