Clearwire To Launch Samsung Notion Android Superphone In December?

Word is going around that Clearwire is planning to release an Android “superphone” in December that will be manufactured by Samsung. Considering that the rumor claims that the phone looks very similar to the Galaxy S, and said device is Samsung’s current top-of-the-line phone, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if this “superphone” was actually a variant of the Galaxy S tailored for Clearwire. If the reports are accurate, then the device will be powered by Android 2.2 when launched and will include a front-facing camera with software in partnership with OOVOO for Internet calling, similar to Skype. A possible deal-sweetener might arrive in the form of a free portable hotspot for folks who get in on this deal. A possible name for the device has been claimed to be the Samsung Notion, and it’s speculated that it will feature a full keyboard. Whether all this turns out to be true or a bunch of smoke should be evident in a few month’s time.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Samsung: Samsung is a South-Korean conglomerate which counts many subsidiaries like Samsung Electronics, which you probably know very well, but also Samsung Heavy Industries which builds ships, or Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Securities and many more. Samsung is responsible for an amazing 20% of South Korea's exports. In the consumer electronics world, Samsung has gone from being a company with a reputation for cheap products to becoming one of the most respected companies in the world.
