Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2, Ice Cream Sandwich and all

Samsung's new Galaxy Tab 2.
                                            Samsung's new Galaxy Tab 2.






Samsung has announced the follow-up to its 7-inch Galaxy Tab.
Dubbed the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), the 7-inch tablet sports Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and a 1GHz dual-core processor. The Galaxy Tab 2 will come with both 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.
On the software side, Samsung's upcoming tablet will ship with its Hub services, including Music Hub to access over 17 million tracks, and Readers Hub for acquiring e-books. The offering will also come with Video Hub, which Samsung says, will allow users to rent or buy over 1,000 films.
The Galaxy Tab 2 will also become the first mobile device from Samsung to ship with its AllShare Play service. AllShare Play allows users to stream multimedia content to the tablet from their PCs, Samsung smartphones, or third-party cloud drives. The service also supports device-to-device and device-to-cloud transfers.
Nearly every smartphone and tablet Samsung has launched over the past two years has been cited in an Apple lawsuit, claiming the devices violate patents the iPhone maker holds. Samsung has responded with similar claims against Apple. So far, neither side has been able to win a decisive victory, but that hasn't stopped them from adding new lawsuits with each product release.
It should be interesting to see how Apple responds to the Galaxy Tab 2. Chances are, given its history, Apple might find a way to include the Galaxy Tab 2 in a new lawsuit.
Samsung plans to bring the Galaxy Tab 2 to store shelves this March. The global rollout will start in the U.K. No pricing has been revealed just yet.

The joy of Microsoft's 'avoid ghetto' GPS patent

Indeed, not so long ago, one lady  sued Google  because the directions its map offered led her (she believed) to be struck by a  car . Now Microsoft has been  granted a patent  that is designed to make its maps more pedestrian-friendly. Somehow, this patent has immediately been dubbed the  "avoid ghetto" feature . Someone seems to have already attempted a ghetto-related mapping exercise, in Ohio. (Credit:  CC JimBobThe Boss/Flickr ) The gist of it seems to be that Microsoft's GPS--which will  reportedly be inserted  into Windows Phones in the future--will use input from more varied and up-to-date sources in order to create suggested routes. Among these sources are crime statistics. Which has led  some to the thought  that this will somehow be an insult to poor neighborhoods. What is unclear, at least from my reading of the patent--which isn't written by anything resembling a human hand or mind--is what kind of crime statistics the...
