Samsung is offering a deal that helps take the sting out of investing in a solid state drive. For a limited time, buyers of Samsung's new 830 SSD series in 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB capacities will receive download codes for the full versions of Batman: Arkham City and Norton Ghost. There's also a 64GB model available that comes with Norton Ghost, but not the Batman game.
Samsung today officially announced the upcoming availability of its Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet featuring the Peel Smart Remote TV appliation. The 7-inch slate will hit retailers on November 13th for $400, four days before Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet starts shipping. Those who want to get a jump start can put their pre-orders in beginning October 23rd.
Something that was not discussed at the Android 4.0 and Galaxy Nexus unveiling recently is the state of the patent system. Android has had more than its fair share of run-ins with software patents in recent years, and Samsung mobile president Shin Jong-kyun made some telling statements that were only released after the event. According to Shin, Samsung and Google while developing the Galaxy Nexus actively worked to avoid patents they knew to be held by Apple 
Google and Samsung got all chummy with each other at an event in Hong Kong late Wednesday and jointly announced the Galaxy Nexus smartphone, the first in the world to run Android 4.0, or Ice Cream Sandwich as it's more deliciously known. Samsung's phone does the Nexus brand justice with a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED display at 720p and a peppy 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

Apple recently launched the iPhone 4S. The device features a dual-core A5 chip which,although designed in-house, is manufactured by Samsung. The A5 is but the latest chapter in a longstanding partnership worth billions. Given the increasing rivalry between the two companies, this partnership is beginning to look less and less sustainable by the day, with a raft of recent reports even claiming that the A5 inside the 4S marks the the end of the buyer-supplier relationship.

Samsung and Google were originally slated to have an event at CTIA this past Tuesday to announce the new version of Android, but it was not to be. In the wake of the death of Steve Jobs, both companies decided to postpone the event. We finally have a new official date; October 19th in Hong Kong at AsiaD.
The patent battle between Apple and Samsung rages on around the world. Just as Samsung announced that it was going to begin selling modified smartphones in Netherlands in order to avoid a sales ban there, it suffered yet another setback, this time in Australia. Details await you after the jump.
Verizon’s 4G LTE rollout has been accompanied by a market increase in the price of smartphones. Most of the carrier’s 4G models have been starting their lives at a $300 price point. The new Samsung Stratosphere is arriving on October 13th with LTE in tow, and it’s just $150 on contract. That’s half as much as the new Droid Bionic.
Consortium. No, it’s not a sequel to Syndicate, it’s what Samsung, Micron Technology and a handful of other companies formed yesterday in order to design and promote specifications for the brand-spankin’ new Hybrid Memory Cube memory technology making the rounds.
