Samsung could announce sCloud service on May 3.

According to Korean tech site MK, Samsung might be prepping up its very own cloud service. It's going to be called, and we are not joking, S-Cloud. In its core, it's going to be similar to Apple's iCloud, but will offer much more, according to the report.

For starters, there won't be any limitations on the things you could upload, which means it will work like Dropbox and the upcoming Google Drive. It'll even come with access to movies, popular TV shows and music. Free and paid content will also be available to various Samsung products such as laptops and tablets.

Furthermore, the amount of storage S-Cloud would offer is said to be more than 5GB, with Microsoft handling the server-side of the operations. We'll find if any of this is true on May 3, when Samsung will unveil its latest flagship Android smartphone.

Mozilla.

Mozilla’s CEO Gary Kovacs announced in Sao Paulo yesterday that Brazil is going to be the first country to see the launch of the company’s HTML5-driven Boot To Gecko smartphones.

This was somewhat expected since Mozilla announced its partnership with carrier Telefonica, which has strong presence in Brazil. Kovacs also announced he expects devices to start hitting the shelves there by the end of this year or in early 2013 at the latest.

Nokia PureView 808 shoots.

Most smartphone manufacturers use insanely expensive equipment to shoot the promos of their devices. Nokia, however, didn’t need any of this as it has the PureView 808.

The Finns have recorded the latest promo video of their upcoming flagship cameraphone on the device itself, but probably wouldn’t have guessed that ifwe didn’t tell.

NVIDIA Tegra 3+ with improved performance arriving this year.

NVIDIA announced that it will be releasing an updated version of the Tegra 3, called the Tegra 3+, some time in 2012. It will be feature improved performance and will be available on both tablets and smartphones.

Unfortunately, though, unlike what it said before, this updated version won’t be bringing LTE support to Tegra 3. This has been one of the shortcomings of this chipset because of which hardware manufacturers such as HTC had to turn to Qualcomm for powering their phones in markets with LTE network.

According to the leaked roadmap that we saw before, LTE support on Tegra chipsets is not expected before 2013, that too not before the second half, which is when the Tegra 4 with LTE is expected to arrive.

Samsung announces the mirrorless NX20, NX210 and NX1000, Wi-Fi-enabled digicams.

If you’ve missed it, the Samsung NX series comprises of cameras that use a big-size sensor and mirror-less technology.The new cameras include the NX20, which replaces the NX10, then the NX210, which replaces last year’s NX200, and an entirely new entry level model, the NX1000. All the three new digicams have 20.3MP APS-C sized CMOS sensors, an ISO range up to 12,800, 1080/30p video recording and yes, Wi-Fi connectivity.

The Wi-Fi connectivity allows the cameras some nifty “Smart Camera” capabilities, such as automatically backing-up images when you’re around your home Wi-Fi network, but also control of the camera via a ‘remote viewfinder’ app on your smartphone. And finally, direct uploading to online social and cloud-drive services. You can have your photos emailed or posted on Facebook directly from the camera, for instance… Impressive stuff, especially having in mind that the NX series produces some serious quality pics thanks to the big image sensor and nice optics.

Samsung NX20

The NX20 is the only one of the threesome that actually looks like a mini DSLR. It’s even got an electronic viewfinder so you can frame and shoot just like you would on one. The NX 20 is a lot like its predecessor, the NX1, on the outside. There’s even a full-size flash hotshoe.

The display around the back is a 614k-dot AMOLED 3-incher of the swivel type. Shipping in early May, the NX20 will be selling for $1,100, along with the kit 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.

Samsung NX210

The NX210 has a similar 614k-dot, 3-inch AMOLED screen, but there’s no electronic viewfinder this time and the whole body has a different design and a more stylish appearance. The NX210 will ship with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens for about $900 in mid-May.

Samsung NX1000

And finally, the newcomer, the NX1000 is a more of a entry-level mirrorless camera. Let not the description fool you as it’s a really nice piece of kit with even more stylish design as the camera will be available in white, black or even pink. The NX100 is equipped with a 3-inch screen again, but it’s an LCD as opposed to an AMOLED one. The kit lens here will be a 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lens but unfortunately, Samsung don’t reveal expected pricing and availability for this one.

Samsung US: the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will have a dual-core processor.

Well, it was a nice dream but it’s time for a wake up call – a representative from Samsung US contacted us and clarified that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will have a dual-core processor and not a quad-core asyesterday’s rumor claimed.

Here’s what the company representative told us: “The US version of 10.1 tablet will still have a dual-core CPU and it’s still shipping on May 13th, with pre-orders starting on May 4th.”

You’ll notice they talk about the US version – but a Samsung US representative probably wouldn’t comment on the international version, so don’t take it as a hint that the international version of the Tab 2 10.1 will have a quad-core processor.
