Samsung Galaxy S2 And Galaxy Note Jelly Bean Update: Official Details From Samsung

Samsung Korea has confirmed that the popular Galaxy S2 smartphone will get an infusion of Android Jelly Bean.

The company revealed details of the update on its official site, but did not say when exactly the refresh will become available to Galaxy S2 owners.

Among the new features are Google Now and the Android Project Butter. It'll also have built-in Google+, Google Play Books and Google Play Movies.

The update will, however, take up an extra 1GB of storage on the Galaxy S2, thanks to a new system partition, and will take an hour to download when it finally arrives.

Pop-Up Play and Smart Stay too

Alongside the Jelly Bean update, Samsung is also bringing some of the tech it introduced with the Galaxy S3 last year.

S2 owners will get the Smart Stay feature, which prevents the screen from timing out when you're looking at it, while the Camera app will allow users to pause recordings.

It'll also get the Pop-Up Play functionality, allowing users to continue enjoying video while emailing, texting or browsing the web, etc.

So, a new lease of life is on the way for one of the best handsets of the smartphone era. Now its just a waiting game and, as is often the case with Android updates, it could be quite a wait yet.

EXCLUSIVE: Samsung Nexus Prime first live shot leaks

With all the fuss surrounding the Apple event today, you may have forgotten that an equally big announcement is coming next week. And we are first to deliver you a glimpse of what is to come at the Samsung Unpacked event, which will see the unveiling of the next Google flagship - Nexus Prime.

What you are seeing here is the first live photo of the Nexus Prime (or part of it), which comes to confirm several important specs of the upcoming device. First, we've got the HD resolution of the Super AMOLED confirmed - that's 720p on a screen just 4.6" in diagonal. As you can see from the image itself this gives you a pixel density of over 320 ppi, which is certainly more than anyone could need.
And don't be confused by the strange 1184 x 720 pixels resolution that appears on the system info. That's just the active area of the screen, with the status bar on the top and the three soft buttons on the bottom not counted. The Samsung Nexus Prime will surely come with a regular 1280 x 720 pixels screen.
We are not sure if the Samsung Nexus Prime display will be using the PenTile matrix, but we can bet that at this pixel density even the most eagle-eyed users won't be able to tell the difference. Just look at the shot, those letters look like printed on paper.
The final bit that we found out is that the Nexus Prime won't be having any hardware keys on the front. This was probably to be expected as Android Ice Cream Sandwich is based on Android Honeycomb, which doesn't rely on hardware controls for UI navigation

Pamela in saree on Big Boss 4

Former 'Baywatch' star Pamela Anderson arrived in Mumbai late Monday amid media frenzy, resulting in a scuffle at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport here. The 43-year-old, who has travelled all the way from Los Angeles to be a guest on Colors' reality show 'Bigg Boss 4', was dressed casually in a grey ganji top with a plunging neckline, and a pair of jeans.

She even sported aviators and left her trademark blonde hair open, as she came out of the airport at 10.50 p.m. - more than two hours later than the scheduled time of her arrival. Even though it was raining, several media persons waited with their still and video cameras to catch a glimpse of Pamela.As soon as she moved out of the airport, all hell broke loose as media persons surrounded her, blocking every way to her car.

Despite the heavy security and five brawny bouncers, Pamela was pushed back to a glass wall of the airport. The scenario became so out of control that she had to turn back inside and move out from a different exit. In the meantime, a scuffle also broke out between a photographer and a policeman, following which, a few other media persons retaliated as well. Other travellers ended up facing the brunt of the frenzy as they weren't able to leave the airport unless the actress did.

Pamela will be entering the 'Bigg Boss 4' house in Lonavala Tuesday morning.

She will stay with other housemates for three days, and is expected to boost the oomph factor on the show by leaps and bounds.

She has been reportedly paid Rs.2.5 crore for her stint on the show, and she is very 'excited'.

IIT post-graduate gives Rupee its symbol

The jury has given its verdict: the rupee will retain its Indian character with an international flavour. The five-member panel has chosen IIT post-graduate D Udaya Kumar’s design from among five shortlisted symbols and recommended it for Cabinet approval.

Kumar's symbol (on the left) is an amalgam of the Devanagari 'Ra' and the Roman capital 'R' without the stem, very much in line with what Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had envisioned. "We intend to formalise a symbol for the Indian rupee which reflects and captures Indian ethos and culture," Mukherjee said in his Budget speech this year.

The chosen symbol has the Finance Minister's approval, said a Ministry official. The Ministry had organised a symbol design competition with a prize money of Rs 2.5 lakh with the condition that it should be applicable to the standard keyboard, be in the national language script or a visual representation and should represent the historical and cultural ethos of the country.

While the basic aim of the new symbol is to provide the Indian rupee international recognition as the country's economy exerts more influence in the global space, the unique sign will also help isolate the currency from the current abbreviation 'Rs' which is used by neighbouring Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
