    Hey, are you one of those people walking around with a Galaxy Note I or II in your pocket as people wonder what is the bulge in your pants? Well guess what? It’s not the biggest anymore. That’s right, Samsung has moved one step closer to telling you to buy a Galaxy Tab and tape it to your head.

    Introducing the Galaxy Mega. This big bastard comes in two sizes: the 5.8 inch “Look At Me And My Ridiculous Phone” and the 6.3 inch “It’s Big In China Phone”. They will come in 8 and 16GB versions and will support microSD cards up to 64GB. The 5.8 inch comes with a 960 x 540 resolution and the 6.3 inch is equipped with 1280 x 720 so you can read all the sad, lonely posts of your “friends” on Facebook in face melting high quality.

    No North American release date has been given, but Europe and Russia will be getting them in May. Really? Russia is getting them before us? How many vodka and beet dinners will have to be forsaken to afford this thing?

    First off, I know what you are thinking and no Samsung has not started making birth control holders.

    This, in fact, is the company’s answer to Apple’s iPod Shuffle, the Galaxy Muse. The Muse comes with 4GB of storage and promises 6 hours of music playback. While not incredibly stylish in design it does have some cool features that could make this worth a purchase for Galaxy phone owners.

    The big feature of this player is the Music Sync Android, which lets you sync your music from your phone to the player without the need of a PC. Simply plug in the Muse into your [amazon_link id=”B007VCRRNS” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Galaxy S3[/amazon_link] or [amazon_link id=”B0099LATZ2″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Galaxy Note 2[/amazon_link] through the headphone jack on the Muse to the USB port on your phone and bingo, your music is synced.

    With Samsung making huge headway into Apple’s smartphone money with the Galaxy series this is the next logical step in their attempt to keep their brand strong. The Galaxy Muse is available now and only costs $60.

  • IPhone 5 Announcement To Be Held On September 12.

    Are you just getting used to not using Siri as much as you thought you would? Well it’s time to get excited again. Apple has released this image above for their September 12 event and you would have to assume it will be the IPhone 5 announcement that everyone has been anticipating. Keep looking at the picture. It’s like a magic eye trick. Notice it? See that’s why the PR guys at Apple make the big bucks and I type on a keyboard about it…for free.

    Rumors have been bouncing around about the next version of the IPhone since the day the 4S was announced. The one rumor that is almost assured is that it will have a redesigned charging port so all the IPhone cords you and your friends have won’t be so universal anymore. Also it should almost be a guarantee that the screen will be getting a bump up in size. Nothing so ridiculous as the Galaxy Note or even some of the other Samsung or Nokia models but more around the 4-4.2 inch range.

    Anyone looking to pick up the IPhone 5 when it releases in a few weeks, sticking with what you have now or waiting to see the official unveiling before deciding?
