Samsung Galaxy Teos and Naos rush in to relieve aging Spica

Actually, calling the i5700 Galaxy Spica from Samsung “aging” isn’t entirely fair — the Android-powered handset was only introduced in November of last year. Thing is, Android moves at the pace of a speeding green robot — and considering Sammy’s reputation for flooding the market with hardware, we’re not surprised to see a couple replacements leak out already. The so-called Galaxy Teos and Naos (pictured left and right, respectively) both feature WQVGA displays and 3 megapixel cameras paired with Android 2.1 and TouchWiz; the latter is apparently an affordable Orange exclusive in your choice of black or white. Samsung certainly has the high end covered right now with the Galaxy S series, so if we had to guess, these little guys (and their various siblings around the world) will help fill in the midrange.

Update: Samsung Hub points out that these are the same as the Galaxy 3 and Galaxy Apollo sold in other markets. The company’s certainly no stranger to changing phone names in different countries, so it’s not much of a surprise to see ‘em do it here.

SlingPlayer Mobile for Android review

The World Cup may have just ended, but whether you’re into football or not, there must have been a point over the last five weeks where you or someone you know moaned about missing a live goal. This is where SlingBox comes in — in case you didn’t know already, it’s a little networked box that piggybacks on your set-top box’s AV and IR ports, thus stuffing your TV experience into your computer or cellphone via WiFi or even 3G. Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Symbian, BlackBerry and iOS have been mingling with the SlingPlayer Mobile app for some time now, and for the same $29.99 tag, Android users can now also join the party.
