Nokia Lumia 800 software update on the way

Nokia's Lumia 800 smartphone may have launched on Wednesday but the wireless phone maker is already prepping for the device's first over-the-air software update. Winrumors.com reports that the update, among other things, is designed to fix a battery problem that has been seen when the Lumia 800 is fully charged. Some of the phone's owners might see some improvements in the Lumia 800's battery life after the update is installed. There's no word on how bad the battery issues are with the phone nor how much improvement will be provided with this new update.

In addition to fixing the battery issues, the Lumia 800 update will also offer users the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system. The new update will bring the OS up to 7.10.7740. That particular update was sent out to a number of other Windows Phone devices on Wednesday. The Lumia 800 will now benefit from the two bug fixes that are a part of this update. One resolves an issue with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and the other fixes a bug that centers on voicemail notifications.
It is also being reported that a new firmware update for the phone came directly from Nokia this week that added a number of new applications directly into the phone's read-only memory. They include apps like British Airways, eBay, Ministry of Sound, Sky News and TripAdvisor.

Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 N for Germany


Remember that tablet everyone got confused with the iPad 2? No? Okay, remember that tablet that got banned for looking a bit too much like an iPad 2? Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 hasn't been without its fair share of controversy, but it looks like all that might be coming to an end as Samsung prepares a modified Galaxy Tab that the company hopes will solve all those problems.
How did they do it? Samsung went to the drawing board and moved a few things around to make comparisons harder. According to PCWorld, the speakers will now be on the front rather than the side. The bezel also looks more silver now, compared to the iPad's uniform black/white styling.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1N, as it will be known, is so far only going to be offered in Germany. Retailers have started putting up shop listings that point towards a release date of next week. The company is keen to stress that the new model is a response to the German ban, not the Apple patent lawsuit.
