Hasta La Gadget!

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics, and as to where the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 with the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update stands, it would remain in the first two categories. Originally, news bits were going around touting that users in Poland had already successfully downloaded the update using Samsung’s very own KIES software, and coming with it would be the Premium Suite package of applications that was introduced alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Apart from that, Poland seemed to be the only country of sighting, but since truth always surfaces at the end of the day, this bit of information proved to be nothing more than a misguided rumor, meaning that Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean is nowhere to be found for the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, and the leaked image that you see above are fake.

As for the future, who knows? Something might come out of this and eventually be true one day. In the mean time, we will just play the patience card.

Good news Samsung Galaxy Note owners – if you are still holding onto the original Galaxy Note and have not traded up for the Galaxy Note 2 or any of the other phablets currently available in the market, you might be pleased to learn that Samsung has confirmed a second premium suite update will be headed onto the device, along with the confirmation that it will also be receiving the highly-anticipated and much coveted Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. This was revealed on the Samsung Galaxy Note microsite which details some of the new features which includes multi-window, Google Now and of course, Project Butter. No word on when exactly this update will be rolling out, but hopefully with CES and MWC 2013 around the corner, Samsung will be stepping up their game and pushing the update out to the masses before then. As usual carrier-locked Galaxy Note devices will probably need to wait for their update, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled nonetheless.

Ready for some more legal mumbo-jumbo? We’re happy to oblige: Samsung is asking Judge Paul Grewal to amend its patent infringement allegations to include Apple’s latest 4th and 5th generation iPad and iPod Touch, as well as the 7.9-inch iPad mini. Sammy says it’s arguing on the side of efficiency, noting that the new hardware is up against the very same claims as the iPhone 5 it added to the case last week, asserting that their inclusion wouldn’t be a burden to the court. Grewal, who was expecting this motion, is also being asked to decide if older iPod hardware is covered by Samsung’s original infringement contention, which vaguely described “all Apple products including a built-in speaker and an external audio output port,” as violators. The Judge also recently approved Samsung’s request to sneak a peek at HTC and Apple’s recent settlement agreement. The proceedings seem to keep Grewal and his gavel busy, but at least your legalese loving uncle will have something to drone on about over Thanksgiving dinner.

It seems that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE has finally hit the streets of South Korea, where it will run on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system right out of the box. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, this means that they have yet to receive this particular variant of the tablet that will enable standard voice calls to be transmitted over the LTE data network. Of course, apart from LTE connectivity, what other features on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE that one should take particular note of? For starters, the multi-window format is a boon for those who want to be as productive as possible, where it displays a couple of separate adjustable windows on the single 10.1” screen, making sure that you will be able to multi-task on a tablet.

Not only that, the Air View feature will also enable folks to browse through photos as well as other items without the need to go through the trouble of searching through different folders. Introducing Easy Clip, one is able to draw on the screen with the tablet’s S pen, and it also comes in handy when selecting and copying text or an image. The rest of the world’s disappointment need not last that long though, as it is tipped to be introduced in the US before 2012 is over – so keep your fingers crossed and eyes peeled!

Those looking for the light at the end of the legal tunnel may want to take a seat: Apple and Samsung’s ongoing patent war just got a bit more crowded. Both sides are fighting to add hardware to their respective patent claims. The U.S. District Court in San Jose is approving these additions too, adding the iPhone 5 to Samsung’s claims and approving the Apple’s updated complaint to include the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III. More devices could be added, too — Judge Paul Grewal specifically warned Apple to “think twice” before opposing future amendments on Samsung’s part, which might include the iPad mini and 4th generation slate. For better or for worse, never-ending litigation and sticky sales injunctions seem to becoming an unfortunate mainstay of the modern product cycle. We’ll let you know when the ongoing battle poses a threat to your upgrade plans.
