Samsung Galaxy S3: wireless charging a possibility

Reports from Korea suggest the Samsung Galaxy S3 may come with wireless charging capabilities allowing you to say goodbye to that fiddly night-time plug in ritual.

According to an anonymous source, Korean publication DDaily says it has been told that the hotly-anticipated Galaxy S3 will allow users to do away with wires as it will arrive with a built in inductive charger.

The source goes on to say that the Galaxy S3 will be able to charge from a distance of 1-2 meters from the charger base.

Look mum, no wires!

Wireless charging is nothing new, with a variety of cases and charging mats currently available on the market to suit a range of handsets and built in wireless charging technology has had its outing in the form of the Palm Pre among others.

The hope is if Samsung manages to squeeze this technology in a handset, which is already rumoured to boast a quad-core processor, 4G connectivity, HD screen, NFC and a decent camera, it will have refined the process making it more efficient and cost effective.

Being able to charge your phone by just placing it down somewhere near a plug is certainly appealing, but if the base station is not included in the box (which we reckon is more than likely) we still expect a substantial cost to be involved to pick one up.

We're taking this latest report with two large fistfuls of salt, as it would seem unlikely Samsung will be able to keep the weight and depth of the Galaxy S3 down to a reasonable level with all the touted tech it's expected to pack into it.

Samsung Sens G10

And here you are the latest big fat baby from Samsung the Sens G10.

Samsung Electronics today launched its new behemoth of a model in Sens G10 notebook. Samsung claim its a replacement of the desktop. Lets check out if it really is a replacement for your desktop. Well, the notebook is powered by a an AMD Semptron processor and comes with a whopping 200GB SATA (serial Advanced Technology Attachment) HDD running at 7200rpm.

The notebook features a 17 inch LCD screen with a 700:1 contrast ratio and 300(cd/m2) brightness. The response time of 6ms ensures your precious eyes remain perfectly in tact without much strain. The graphics is powered by a GeForce Go 6100 Video card. Also the most striking thing is that it makes use of an AC adapter instead of battery unlike most other notebooks in the market. But the disappointing thing is that for a laptop claiming as a desktop replacement, it does not get a Duo-core processor. No word on the pricing and availability as yet, but the notebook seems to be a Korea only product for now.
