Samsung Galaxy S II is finally available on DiGi.

It is offered at RM1599 for 12 months and RM1349 for 24 months contract with DG Smart Plan. As comparison, Maxis is offering the Galaxy S II at RM1599 for 12 months and RM1399 for 24 months with either 1.5GB/3.0GB data bundle. Surprisingly the Galaxy S II is more expensive than expected as the subsidy amount is less as compared to the HTC Sensation.

There’s a EPP Credit Card offer where the Galaxy S II can be yours from RM128.30/month for 24 months installment.

For the first 100 at their Berjaya Times Square & KLCC roadshows , you’ll get a free Bluetooth heatset worth RM149.

For those that feel 10? tablet is too huge to handle, Samsung is also having the Galaxy Tab 8.9, which offers smaller dimensions with its 8.9? screen. What you see above is one of the early hands on of the 8.9? variant.

Compared to its larger Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, there are some differences in terms of placement. The stereo speakers are located at the bottom while the power and volume rocker are placed at the top.

The rest of the specs should be similar with its Galaxy Tab 10.1. Which Tab would you go for? The 10.1? or the 8.9??

LG Optimus Pro and its Gingerbread brother Optimus Net are now official.

The LG Optimus Pro have an 800MHz processor, 256 MB of RAM, a 2.8 inch screen, a three megapixel camera and internal storage of only 15o MB, but Optimus Net was a mystery. Until now. Unlike its QWERTY brother, the Net is a full touchscreen. Nonetheless, the model for North America will come with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Optimus Net has a 3.2-inch (320 x 480) display and sports the same 800MHz processor.

Both smartphones come with a 1500mAh battery and running on Android 2.3.

Ahead of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 launch, Celcom pulled out another tablet out of its blue cube with the launch of the 8.9-inch LG Optimus Pad — the world’s first tablet capable of capturing 3D images and videos. The Optimus Pad is also the first 8.9-inch Honeycomb tablet in the market.

The LG Optimus Pad runs an Nvidia 1Ghz Tegra 2 dual core processor and features an 8.9-inch WXGA display with a 1280×768 resolution and a dual-array 5MP rear-facing camera placed about 1.5-inches apart of each other for 3D video recording and photos. The dual-5MP camera is capable of shooting 1080p 2D or 720p 3D videos.

Unfortunately unlike the LG Optimus 3D, the display on the Optimus Pad isn’t autostereoscopic. For you to view 3D content on the device, you will need to wear 3D glasses which is an optional extra. In terms of look and feel the Optimus Pad shares the same design language as the LG Optimus 2X.

The LG Optimus Pad retails for RM2,199 outright. Celcom is offering it for as low as RM1,668 with a data plan contract. They are two plans two choose from for the tablet:

1.Celcom Broadband Basic offers 4GB of data a month for RM68/month
2.Celcom Broadband Advance with 6GB of data a month for RM98/month

Celcom is currently offering a 12-month RM10 monthly rebate for both plans as well. Based on the rebate, we assume the contract term is for 12 months.

So, are you interest on this, or you will choose Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab?

As Google promised in May, Google TV is about to get a taste of some sweet Honeycomb. According to some reports, users are already seeing their Google TV devices appear under “My Devices” on the Market’s web app. This is most likely Google’s handiwork as they put the final touches before rolling out the update.

Further proving Google TV 2.0 is upon us, some Android enthusiasts over at GTVhacker have managed to update their Logitech Revue to Android 3.1. How did they do this? We’re asking ourselves the same question. However, they did post a photo as proof and promised to shed more light on how they did it over the next few days. We can’t wait.

Looking at the photo from GTVhacker, you can see not a lot has changed since Google first showed Google TV 2.0 to us back in May. That blue bar along the bottom is back once again. I’m guessing this will appear by pressing the “Home” button on your Google TV remote. As you might remember, we recently saw this bar thanks to a leak via Geek.com. Although, this time some of the icons seem to have gotten a bit of polish by Duarte and co. Always a good thing.

The space above that blue bar will supposedly house widgets, as demonstrated at Google I/O. It’s still unknown whether or not users will have access to various home screens like we have on phones and tablets. While that might seem like an obvious thing to do, I’m not so sure Google will do it for Google TV. But I could be wrong.

In summary, here’s everything we know Google TV 2.0 will have for sure:
* Access to the Android Market
* Widgets
* Notifications
* Improved Media Player
* Overhauled user interface
* Google TV emulator for developers
* ADB support
* Support for USB devices like game controllers and keyboards
* Honeycomb’s graphics engine
* Improved performance and stability
* ARM support

That should be just about enough to turn those Google TV doubters into believers. Now we just need to sit and wait for Google to roll this out. Hopefully that’ll happen some time next week.
