Samsung Galaxy S3 to get 16MP Camera & S5K2P1 CMOS Sensor

There are many rumors around the web claiming that the new Samsung Galaxy S3 phone would get a 16 Megapixels Camera, which would just make this phone directly call a Camera Phone rather than a smart phone.

The expected launch would be around the first quarter of 2012 before which we can expect Sammy to already sell around 25 Million units because the first 10 Million units were sold within first 4 months and now since its available almost world wide the number of sales would be bound to touch the sky.

All of this information clearly shows that Apple is seriously getting a huge competition from Samsung, and its not just limited to their Mobile Phones but also in the Smart TV & Laptops sector. Samsung is on a launching spree and is announcing something Awesome every other day with the product being either at par with the other products in the industry or more advanced than them.

App to Watch Free Live TV Channels & Movies on Galaxy Tab

Live TV on mobile phone has become reality since a long time and with 3G you get faster streaming of data which provides uninterrupted service.
The Mimobi is a TV application for mobiles to enjoy watching live TV on your phone. Phone? then why not on tablet? Since tablets are mobile devices with larger screen, its possible to watch live TV on Galaxy Tab tablets. We just come out here to show you how it works on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Since watching of live TV using the Mimobi.TV app is possible on 10.1 inches screen it is also possible to watch on 8.9 inches version and 7 inches version too. Not sure whether it works for other Honeycomb tablets!
The Mimobi app comes pre-installed on Samsung Galaxy Tab with other apps. This application supports HD TV playback but not sure whether HD TV channels like Discovery HD, Star Cricket HD, Star Plus HD, ESPN HD, etc., are available by Mimobi app.
Procedure to Watch Live TV on Galaxy TAB
There is not much long procedure for accessing Mimobi app on your Galaxy Tab, here are few steps procedure -

• Tap on “Apps” from any home screen on your tablet.

• Now among the various pre-installed apps tap on Mimobi or Mobile TV and once you tap on it, it will launch quickly within no time.
• If you are using it for the first time then you would require service activation, which is done by sending SMS on your Galaxy Tab. So you should have a 3G SIM inserted on your Galaxy Tab.

• Then check back the SMS that you have received. It will be received in no time.

• You would be then taken to the homepage of Mobile TV app on your Galaxy Tab and this is how it looks

• It has three tabs – Home, Live TV and Shows. Click on ‘Live TV‘ and you would get the list of channels along with categories on the left side.

• There are many channels to watch out for and you can choose categories to view more channel specific listings.

• There are different categories in which you can organise and one good thing I liked about this app is that, it will list all of your favorite channels in “Subscribed” category.
• This is how I watch live TV on tablet. You have the option of choosing the resolution to HD or normal playback along with various other settings.

Importantly accessing live TV on your tablet would require the need of any data connection, if you have Wi-Fi available then its easy to connect but if you have 3G then you would be charged accordingly to your data plans.

Intratech has therefore made a repackage of the XWKI4 firmware. Repackaged to remove the boot loader that blocks resetting the binary counter with a jig when you flash on unsigned kernel because other having trouble of resetting the reset counter after flashing using Odin.

I've attached the old bootloader repackaged in a tarball for Odin. Anyone who's flashed the full firmware package and cannot reset their binary counter flash this with Odin and then try the Jig. Place tarball in the PDA section of Odin
