Samsung Electronics has announced two new Galaxy ‘Tab 3’ Android tablets. There’ll be one with an 8-inch screen and another with a 10.1-inch screen. Both are launching worldwide this month and will be available alongside the previously announced 7-inch version.

Samsung GALAXY Tab 3 10.1-inch

The 8-inch Tab 3 runs a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, while the 10.1-inch tablet has a 1.6 GHz dual-core processor. Both will offer 3G and 4G  connectivity as well as WiFi.

Samsung’s 7-inch Tab 3 was originally announced in April.

In addition, Samsung has revealed the Galaxy S4 Active smartphone. This isn’t simply a toughened version of the Galaxy S4; although it runs Android on a 1.9GHz quad-core processor it only has an 8-megapixel camera and uses TFT rather than Super AMOLED technology for the 5-inch screen. The Galaxy S4 Active is water and dust resistant to IP67, features a water-resistant earphone socket and can be operated when wearing gloves.

JK Shin, CEO and President of the IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics, said “The GALAXY S4 Active is the newest addition to the GALAXY series and is purposefully designed for active users who love the outdoors. Samsung has taken the innovative features of the GALAXY S4 and added breakthrough protective design elements to create a device that thrives in an active environment and is built for a lifestyle of travel and exploration.”

We started this week with a story that grabbed plenty of attention. It was a report from Billmonitor.com that claimed we in the UK were wasting almost £5 billion every year by choosing the wrong mobile tariffs. Although I remained a little cynical about some of the detail, there's no doubt that many consumers could be better off if they switched tariff - or even network.

Oh, those nasty mobile networks. They're robbing us blind… at least, that's what you might think if you've been reading the headlines this week.

Mobile users 'overpaying by £200', said the BBC. £5bn 'wasted' on mobile phone bills, said the Financial Times. It's the wrong tariff, Gromit!, said Telecom TV after hitting the Wensleydale.

We head into the weekend with the News of the World admitting voicemail hacking was more widespread than previously thought. Mobile networks had already made it much harder to access voicemail remotely… and now the NotW is saying sorry and preparing to pay compensation.

We all have guilty pleasures. One of mine is the sci-fi film Demolition Man. Sylvester Stallone is 20th-century police sergeant John Spartan, who finds himself fighting crime in 2032 alongside the delightful Lieutenant Lenina Huxley, played by Sandra Bullock.
