We’ve haven’t given Apple much news coverage lately, mostly because there isn’t much news to give. Apples iPad Mini, though a new product, isn’t anything new hardware and technology wise. in fact, it’s just a smaller version of a much older iPad.

Well, that certainly was a big show… Samsung, the new leader in cellphone sales, just officially unveiled the next line of Galaxy S Android Smart Phones. What’s new, is this a big game changer and will Samsung continue to dominate the cellphone market with their next gen phone line? There’s lots of information to cover on all those things, but lets stick to the stuff most consumers will care about and skip over the developer information. So lets get started!
Well, it was a nice run while it lasted. With a 14 year long streak of being number one in the cell phone market, Nokia is now officially number two behind Samsung, the creators of the popular Galaxy S line of Android Phones. Nokia has been the leader of cellphone sales for well over a decade, and why wouldn’t they be? they practically pioneered the market with affordable cell phones and durable hardware. My first phone was a big hefty Nokia with it’s green screen and limited features. But what has lead to Nokia’s slow decline and can they save themselves before it gets any worse?
