2012 Tech News Update: Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos with dual-network support pops up

It appears that Samsung has quietly released a new member of their Galaxy S II family. The Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos is the China telecom version of the extremely popular smartphone and is the first Galaxy S II device to come with both CDMA2000 and GSM support.
The Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos is built around a 4.52" WVGA Super AMOLED Plus screen and features a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU. The company hasn't published the exact details of the chipset, but the clock speed of the CPU suggests that the Galaxy S II Duos runs on a modified Exynos.

     

The China-bound Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos comes with an 8 megapixel 1080p video-capturing main camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing snapper. The smartphone comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread at launch, but hopefully, will join the rest of the Galaxy S II family in getting ICS update at the start of next year.
As expected, connectivity is well covered with Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, microUSB and 3.5mm audio jack all on board. There are 16GB of onboard storage, which is expandable by up to 32GB thanks to the microSD card slot.
Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos is slightly thicker (9.8mm) and heavier (132 g) than its international sibling, but has a larger, 1800 mAh battery, to show for it.

2012 Tech News Report: Porsche Design RIM BlackBerry P'9981 comes to the UK!

At first glimpse, we weren't sure what to make of the strange metal-clad QWERTY bar, bestowed with the all-important BlackBerry logo atop its display. We at first, speculated its legitimacy, whether it was ushering in a new design language for the brand as a whole, or if it was some strange custom or special edition device.
It so happens that we didn't have to wait long to find out its true intent. The hard lines and custom font etched onto that futuristic keyboard were the result of Porsche Design partnering up with the Canadian smartphone manufacturers to create something rather different. The result proved striking to say the least, but left many a 'Berry fan somewhat lost or at least unsure at how to react.

  
It wasn't until a month after its first appearance that we were given the true explanation for this peculiar device, but then everything made a little more sense. Dubbed the BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981, it closely mirrored its everyday counterpart the Bold Touch 9900, with a 1.2GHz single core processor under the hood.
Other specs include a gig of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a 5MP camera on the back with 720p HD video recording and of course BlackBerry OS 7, which in fact could make this the last BlackBerry out the gates before RIM focus their attentions on the BBX-laden 'Colt', or at least something like it.
The Porsche Design P'9981 was given its very own launch event in Dubai, back in late October with the choice of venue eluding to its luxury-focused target market. The P'9981 was expected to retail for around $2000 and now it comes to the UK market too. If you want one with the intention of giving it as a present for the big day, you only have a short window of opportunity left, but it's available for a cool £1275 at the world renowned Harrods department store in Knightsbridge, London. Reports from the store themselves saying that demand is high and the device is selling fast.
Will you be picking up this unique 'Berry, or perhaps making it a very special gift this holiday season?

Three (3) of the most expensive motorcycles (bike, road, rider, Harley, Davidson, Honda)

Of all the bikes out there today, there are some that are considered the most elite. Some bikes are simply worth macho dollars, and those who are willing to pay the price can leave the showroom with a prize worth flaunting! But these high-tagged bikes can’t be found in just any showroom, so here is a breakdown of 3 of the most expensive bikes out there today. Enjoy!

MV Agusta  F4 CC. This bike will run you a mere $133,700 dollars or so. No big deal, right? Wrong. That is a lot of money for a motorcycle, but with a top speed of 195 mph fueled by its massive 198 hp engine, this Italian dream might just be worth it!

Macchia Nera Concept Bike. Ok, on the list of crazy motorcycles, I think this one takes the cake for number one. This bike is built around a Ducati 998RS engine, and is Italian in construction. Considered the ultimate tack bike, this bike will run you about $201,000 (that is, if you can even find a way to order it! It isn‘t built for normal retail sale.)

MTT Turbine Superbike. If you are into dropping $150,000 on the spot for a bike, than you just might be interested. This bike holds the Guinness World Record for “Most powerful Motorcycle ever to enter series production”. The turbine engine in this bike is capable of over 300 hp, so don’t stomp on it hard until you come to a straight stretch!
