Samsung has finally come clean with their upcoming 7-inch tablet the Galaxy Tab, which has had its fair share of leaks, and uploaded an official teaser onto the web. We can expect an official product announcement and showcasing on September 2nd. In brief, the Galaxy Tab will be Froyo powered (Android 2.2), with HD video playback capability, Swype, video calling, and a custom e-reader software. The e-reader is said to be better than the current offerings on Android. You’ll obviously be able to browse the web comfortably, and as far as radios are concerned there will be WiFi and GPS for sure, with a possible 3G version on the way (read: unconfirmed/hints there-of). Interestingly, the video teaser uses augmented reality as one of the main selling points.

So basically, while developing an application using the iOS SDK, you can now further monetize by inserting ads into the application.

What are the implications of this? As time goes on, advertisements are slowly infiltrating every corner of our lives. As more money is to be made, more developers will be inserting ads in their apps (we’re not talking about web here, applications themselves!). It’s also interesting to note that Google is not missing an opportunity such as the iPad to expand its advertisement network, surely in a bid to put competition to Apple on its own platform. In fact, it’s probably Google’s strongest motive for their move on iPad apps.

The fine folks over at Engadget Spanish received a Nokia Booklet 3G and started cranking the old cam for some pics and vid. The Booklet that they received is running a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. The Engadget Spanish team were really impressed with the packaging, and particularly the adapter (interestingly, it’s just an adapter, right?). They’ve already posted an unboxing video and a picture gallery. Check ‘em out. The Booklet 3G will be hitting stateside by mid-november, with BestBuy already allowing pre-orders.

Want to save a couple hundred bucks on your next MacBook or MacBook Pro? Look no further, AppleInsider is pulling their connections to get the community some nice savings. You can grab the new 13″ MacBook for $899 (from $999), the MacBook Pros will net you savings of $120 to $280 depending on the model, or save $105 on the MacBook Air. Looks like today’s Windows 7 launch has Apple moving.

Details have finally emerged on Nokia’s Booklet 3G’s selling strategy. At a conference this Tuesday at Manhattan between AT&T, Best Buy, Nokia, and Microsoft it was revealed that Best Buy will be selling the Booklet 3G exclusively. The launch date is October 22nd, set to coincide with Windows 7′s launch. You can pick up the Booklet 3G for $599 when it launches, or $299 with a 2-year contract with AT&T (minimum $60/month data plan required).

What’s so great about the Booklet 3G? For one thing, it’s the return of Nokia to the computer field (ignoring the internet tablets). Interesting to note the parallels to Apple, a computer company entering the cellular field, Nokia is a handset giant entering the computing field. The Booklet boasts a 12-hour battery life under normal usage (always on browsing) via a 16-cell battery. Quite a claim, but Nokia supposedly has the numbers to back it up, we’ll see soon enough. The laptop itself is quite decked, 3G via HSPA or WiFi for connectivity, A-GPS (with Ovi maps) and a hot-swappable SIM. The display is a 10.1 inch HD screen (1280×720 resolution), with HDMI video out. The entire package comes to a lean 1kg (2.2 pounds). The Booklet will be running a copy of Windows 7, powered by an Intel Atom core (Z530 1.6 GHz) with 1 GB of RAM and a 120 GB HDD.

All in all, it looks like a solid netbook; pricing may be a little on the expensive side, but the Booklet does come with some strong selling points (3G, GPS, HD, 12-hour battery life…). Time will tell how well Nokia’s return to computers goes.
