Developing good phones compatible with Samsung’s Android operating system, and those who were waiting for the Galaxy Nexus in Mexico’s great news.

Samsung sent an invitation which appends the following message: “One day all will be well smartphones” which puts the date March 8 at 9:00 am, which will be presented officially phone Mexico.

Price not yet know nothing, but we can not wait for a low price because they are high-end phones, “good news” is that the phone will free so that the three largest companies in Mexico (Telcel, Movistar , Iuscacell) may have the equipment to offer to users.

Another thing that attracts attention is that this phone will come equipped with the Android OS 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich”. So the day of the presentation we will be giving more information.

At the moment there are not many details about the new tablet, but it can be assumed, given what is known to be a mid-range tablet for the French company.

Among the details leaked, we know that has 8 GB of internal storage, micros D card slot, a 9.7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, ARM processor 8 to 1 GHz and an operating system Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Unfortunately it will not have access to Android Market, a common ailment among the Archos tablets. However, the manufacturer offers as a substitute Appslib store for those willing to download official applications. So far the company has not announced either pricing or release date set for the new tablet.

The Coby tablet provides Android 2.2 Kyros at an attractive price, with HDMI output, micro SD memory expansion and a front camera.

The bad: The touch screen quality and responsiveness are terrible, the battery life is poor, the design is bulky, there is support for Adobe Flash and the suite of Google mobile applications are not included.

The bottom line: The Coby Kyros tablet offers a large screen for relatively little money, but it’s a bad proposal at any price.

Review: I just could not resist testing the Kyros Coby.  It was the list price or the operating system Android 2.2 what attracted us was the screen.  We’ve seen a lot of 7 inches and tablets of 10 inches, but never an 8- inch.
