 Even though there is still no word about  U.S. launching the Samsung Galaxy S II, the device has already managed to grab the attention of Stateside cell phone fans. And overseas, where the phone has already been launched, demand is already outnumbering supply. As we reported, carriers overseas have already pre-ordered more than 3 million units of the phone.

  Many videos 
have been uploaded on the YouTube,that  displaying how fast the browser is on the phone. Now, we have a video produced by Samsung that is all about the Galaxy S II. Many of you have already earmarked this device as your next phone if a U.S. launch is ever announced.

Apple iPhone 4 and the App Store Entered in Book Of World Record:




 The Apple iPhone 4 and the App Store becoming record-holders in the 2011 Book of World Records for breaking records in mobile gaming. Analysts have estimating that 1.5 million units of the iPhone 4 been sold on it's launch day, and the now smartphone holds the record for the "Fastest-Selling Portable Gaming System".  The 1.5 million units sold blows away the competition.

(In case you are interested, of that total, 61 of the apps are fart simulators). There were 37,362 games in the App Store as of last September, compared to the 1,400 available in Microsoft's Xbox Live Indie Arcade. The App Store also has the title of  "Largest Launch Line-up of Any Gaming System" with over 500 available on the App Store's initial day of business.







 Some developers also received recognition.  Angry Birds is now listed as the "Top Paid-For App Store Game in Most Countries." As of last October, Angry Birds was the top paid-for game in the App Store in a record 67 territories around the globe.

Verizon extends the Samsung DROID Charge trial Little Late on June 16th


 As we yesterday reported, That Verizon today is officially launching the Samsung DROID Charge.  Because of the some reason's DROID Charge is being about 1 1/2 weeks late, it would only be fair for the carrier to extend the free unlimited 4G LTE hotspot service that is available on the handset. And yes, Big Red is doing the right thing by extending the free trial to June 16th.

  The hotspot allows Samsung DROID Charge to turn a Wi-Fi enabled device into a 4G LTE beast. While on Wi-Fi, you can tether up to 10 devices; now that number shrinks on to 5 if your connection is of the 3G variety. So if you go out and pick up Verizon's second LTE enabled handset tomorrow, you will have a bit more than a month to try out the phone's 4G hotspot.

 When the HTC ThunderBolt was launched with its support to connect up to 8 devices using its mobile hotspot, that number seemed impressive. Now that the Samsung DROID Charge brings that number up to 10, who knows how many phones will be able to connect to a mobile hotspot in 6 months.
