We just got an update from Samsung, a video of a video call with Fring has surfaced on the web. Its not clear which messengers support video calling yet but its still pretty cool to see. Apple better watch out the Galaxy Tab might bring in some fierce competition.

Check inside for the video.

Hey guys, Samsung has officially released a commercial for the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

This review features a TekGoblin DoubleTake review which means you get 2 reviews from 2 different people in the same article! Why not get 2 different opinions while in the same article, read on below. First review is by Solomon M.

Alright guys, we managed to get our hands on the all new Motorola Droid 2 a few days after launch and we have to say that it definitely improves on some faults with the original Motorola Droid. Check our our unboxing video at the bottom of the post to see it in action. The Motorola Droid 2 keeps some things the same as the original Droid and some needed changes grace the device as well. The Droid 2 retains the same 3.7 inch WVGA display as previous model as well as the same camera and camcorder quality. What has improved, is the faster processor, more on-board memory, as well as a better keyboard and improved battery life, not to mention that it is the first U.S. device to come pre-stock with Android 2.2 operating system with flash 10.1.

Twitter has officially launched their Twitter App for the iPad. Now I know there are other Twitter Apps for the iPad so why should you get this one, let me tell you.

The new Twitter App just looks amazing and allows you to navigate Twitter differently than before. For example, in your time line you can just pinch a tweet to expand it and collapse it. Also if you touch a tweet that has a URL in it, a window will slide in next to your time line and load the web page. If you simply touch a normal tweet it will open up the users profile and actions you can perform on that user for example: follow, share, mentions, favorites, tweets, and lists.

At Apple‘s media event they unveiled what they were creating with that touch screen that we saw many months back. They unveiled the all new iPod Nano which makes it much more portable than before and includes a full multi-touch screen. The Nano functions much like the iOS on the iPod Touch and the iPhone you can move applications around just like on the iPhone. The Nano allows you to view photos on it, and you can even change the screen orientation by using two fingers and flipping the screen.

My Droid 2 finally got the notification today to update to Froyo 2.2.20. The update came a week after the official release and issues Verizon had deploying the software update. The update is very small at only 3.7mb but addresses the following issues:

• Enabled text and picture message scrolling.
• Streamlined set up of Visual Voice Mail feature.
• Improved contact sync with Corporate Exchange categories
• and groups.
• View accurate contact pictures when reviewing Recent Call Log.

Major Nelson has announced on his blog that there will be a new Xbox 360 controller. The new controller also features a transforming D-Pad which will transform between the classic and new D-Pad styles. Confused?

CultofMac reports that the upcoming iOS 4.1 update for the iPhone 4 will not correct the proximity sensor issues some of us are having. The issue is that when you hold the phone up to your ear the screen is supposed to shut off to prevent accidental inputs, but for many users the opposite is happening.

Alexa is a service that provides information about websites and traffic rankings. They rank each site based on a number of factors including but not limited to overall traffic. Since the new Digg.com has been released we have been somewhat unsure how successful it has been until this small glimpse Alexa has given us.

The upcoming Apple announcement on the 1st has everyone in a stir at what could be announced. Most people are certain it will be about the new Apple TV. Dan Wineman has created on his blog a conceptual picture of what a new remote for the iTV could look like. Dan combined the new Magic Trackpad and an iPod touch and he came up with this:

Now this is completely plausible that Apple could come up with something like this, a small screen with all the finger gestures you would need to navigate through the Apple TV menus. Check out Dan’s story behind his design:

9to5Mac reports that soon iTunes may be renting full length TV shows for $1 a month. So you can subscribe to a show for a year for only $12. If iTunes actually implements this feature I believe that many people may pay for it. Although, Netflix would be its biggest competitor but you can only purchase the shows that you want instead of the monthly fee that Netflix has.

Apple already has a movie rental service through iTunes so it would just be supplemented with TV show rentals at a cheaper price. Now word yet on whether there will be differing prices for standard definition or high definition video. More information at the source.

Since the recent HP buyout of PALM we have been waiting for what HP may have in store for us. Well HP’s CTO Phil McKinney has tweeted some pictures of 3 new devices that could be released in the near future. The picture has the devices blacked out so we can only see their outlines but 1 seems to be a tablet, other a phone, and 3rd is something on his wrist maybe a media player? The second link on his twitter status leads us to a SXSW panel that he will be speaking at about devices of the future. So these devices may be further off than we think, or he might bring the future to us now.
