Those crazy kids and their gadgets. According to a new study from the folks at analyst firm Piper Jaffray, the iPhone is the Justin Bieber of technology. Teens just can’t get enough of it. The study of 4,500 kids phone that 17 percent own an iPhone and a staggering 37 percent plan to buy one in the next six months.
Tablets are also something of hit with the kids–22 percent own one or live with someone who does, and 20 percent plan on getting a new on in the next six months. The number who own an MP3 player has dropped, meanwhile, from 90- to 80 percent–a fact no doubt driven, at least in part, by the popularity of handsets like the iPhone.

Posted in: Android, delay, galaxy s ii, GalaxyS, GalaxySIi, samsung, tegra 2, Tegra2, Today's Chili
Well, it looks like there’s some good news and some bad news for those holding out for a Samsung Galaxy S II. GSM Arena is reporting that Samsung has decided to upgrade the phone’s dual-core processor from 1GHz to 1.2GHz, something that was first revealed on Samsung Estonia’s Facebook page and has apparently be confirmed by GSM Arena itself from an “internal source.” The bad news is that it seems you’ll also have to deal with a bit of a delay. Some UK retailers are now listing a release date of May 6th, while Samsung India has tweeted that the phone’s global launch has been delayed by “at least” a month, and that it won’t roll out before June.
P.S. There’s no indication as to how this upgrade will affect the Tegra 2 version of the phone, which was confirmed to be on track last month.

Those vintage suits aren’t cheap–Netflix’s plans to add AMC costume drama Mad Men to its streaming offering will costs the movie service somewhere between $75 and $100 million according to unnamed sources at The Wall Street Journal. That number works out to mind boggling $1 million an episode.
The first four seasons of the show are set to hit Netflix mid-July. After season five finishes airing in 2012, it will hit the service–as will the recently announced seasons six and seven.
The deal with Lions Gate marks the latest in a handful of signings for Netflix. The service also recently struck a deal with Miramax, which will bring movies like Pulp Fiction to the site. Netflix is also said to be in discussions with NBCUniversal.

Samsung’s 3D TV experience is getting cheaper: two pairs of glasses packed in, $50 for extras
Posted in: accessories, hdtv, LCD, plasma, price, samsung, Today's Chili, video
As the battle between active and passive 3D glasses display technology heats up, Samsung has responded by announcing its cheapest pair of active shutter 3D glasses will cost $50 (previously $130) beginning May 1st. Additionally, all of its 3D-capable 2011 HDTVs will come with two pairs of glasses packed in, unless the purchase is eligible for the Megamind/Shrek starter kit that already comes with them. This move comes just as FPR-based displays from LG, Vizio, Toshiba and Philips hit the marketplace. LG specifically focused on the cost of glasses as a selling point over Samsung in recent ads that ran heavily throughout the NCAA Tournament (embedded after the break.) LG is charging $10 per pair for its RealD-compatible Theater 3D glasses while Vizio has pairs on its website for $29.99 or two for $44.99.
The cheap pair of Samsung glasses is the SSG-3100GB model with replaceable battery pictured above and while it promises the new, lighter Silhouette-designed SSG-3700GR glasses will also get cheaper, no new price has yet been announced. A 62% price reduction is nothing to sneeze at, but it looks like customers will still need to buy into 3D — and that active glasses beat passive on picture quality and viewing angle like it says in the press release (after the break) — to spur sales of the new TVs.
