Very nice firmware update for the Samsung Instinct

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Samsung has released another firmware update for the popular Instinct, and it seems to be a good one. Â According to Gizmodo, the update includes some major enhancements to the browser. Â The browser seems to to be the achilles heel of most phones (just ask my wife about her BlackJack), so it’s nice to see them working hard to make this one better.

They claim a 10x improvment in rendering speed, which must be a stunning improvement for people that are used to the old one.

In addition, you can now hide the browser controls (to give you more screen real estate), the favorites UI has been improved, and there have been 34 other browser-related tickets closed. Â Not bad!

2.0 Firmware for iPhone coming on June 27th?

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Thanks to some sharp eyes at iClarified, it appears that the 2.0 firmware could be coming out on June 27th. Apple’s Australian iPod touch page had some text that read “Shop for hundreds of applications made for iPod touch. Available June 27.”

The text has been removed, but you can see it in the image on the right.
