Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 experiencing shipping delays, unavailable at some outlets

So, we knew the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was coming, but it looks like some shoppers eagerly anticipating the tablet’s arrival will go home empty handed today. We just received word from a Samsung rep that there have been “shipping delays to some stores in certain regions.” They went on to say, “We expect most retail locations to have inventory by tomorrow while supplies last.” That’s all we have at the moment, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

Verizon video shows an unannounced tablet, could it be the Xoom 2? (update: it’s back!)

Oh Verizon, did you just spill confidential information all over your YouTube channel? The guys over at Droid-Life spotted a VZW ad starring a mysterious new Honeycomb tablet, which to our ninja-trained eyes looks to exhibit many of the design elements of Motorola’s Xoom. It could, of course, be just about anything, given that Verizon yanked the video almost as soon as the above screengrab was lifted, but the rear of this 10(ish)-inch tablet looks very much like a Xoom designed to be used in portrait orientation. We know Moto has a Xoom 2 cooking in the oven and it’s not unreasonable to surmise that Verizon is putting together the finishing touches on a promo campaign for it. Now if only we could get a look at that video with our own eyes…

Update: The video is back! Watch it after the break.

One of RIM’s biggest investors says “Steve Jobs is a much better marketer”, sells over 5 million shares


The bloodbath continues today for RIM. After announcing disappointing financial results and declaring their upcoming devices will be delayed, the market is reacting and their share price is currently down over 20%, or $7.00/share. To make matters worse their 6th biggest shareholders with approximately 10.2 million shares has lost faith, selling over 50% of their stake in the company.

Jarislowsky Fraser Ltd had about $361 million tied up in RIM stock but Chairman Stephen Jarislowsky said “We are on the way out. The stake has been reduced by more than 50% or even more… They are resting on their laurels… Steve Jobs is a much better marketer than RIM”.

What do you think… will RIM make it back to the glory days?

HP ships $50 WiFi Mobile Mouse, gives your Bluetooth radio a break

If you’ve been waiting oh-so-patiently for HP’s $49.99 WiFi Mobile Mouse to ship, take heart — the aforesaid critter is now ready to free up one more valuable USB port at your workstation. As mentioned before, this ain’t your mum’s wireless mouse, as it makes use of WiFi technology — you know, instead of the tried-and-true Bluetooth. In other words, this bad boy doesn’t require anything other than itself to connect. HP promises up to nine months of battery life, offers five programmable buttons, a four-way tilt scroll wheel and adjustable sensitivity. Just think — you can finally choose to keep those remaining Four Loko cans chilled without resorting to an inbuilt trackpad. Reason enough to pull the trigger, yeah?

Galaxy S II coming to SaskTel next month, we embark on northward migration

The Samsung Galaxy S II has yet to make its US debut, but it looks like our neighbors to the north will be getting it as early as next month. Yesterday, Canada’s SaskTel announced via Twitter that it would launch the phone “within the next month,” making it the first North American carrier to confirm the S II. Earlier this month, it looked as if Verizon would be the first to bring the device to the New World, but our hopes were crushed when the carrier debunked rumors of a July launch. It remains to be seen whether Sasktel’s announcement will pave the way for a wider North American release, but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear more.
