Despite launching less than a month ago, Samsung's Galaxy S 4 smartphone is set to pass the ten million sales mark next week.
If true, the Galaxy S4 will have outpaced its predecessor, the Galaxy S3, to the ten million mark by three weeks. It would also make the S 4 the fastest selling Samsung handset to date.
Samsung's co-CEO Shin Jong-kyun addressed reporters at a technology forum held in Seoul yesterday.
“We are confident that we will pass more than 10 million sales of the S4 next week. It is selling much faster than the previous model S3,” said Jong-kyun, reports the Korea Times.
It's a further boost to Samsung, which already receives 95 per cent of the profits generated by the Android mobile operating system, it was revealed yesterday.
Whilst that figure excludes the Galaxy S 4, the success of the firm's latest handset should only see it continue to rise.
Samsung is also set to release an update edition of the Galaxy S 4 on June 26th, which will come pre-installed with the latest Android 4.2 OS as standard.

A release for the upcoming Angry Birds flick has been narrowed to July 1, 2016, with Sony distributing the movie worldwide, Rovio announced on its website today.
Rovio's intent on creating a feature film was made public late last year, when the studio tapped producers John Cohen and David Maisel from Despicable Meand Iron Man to lead the project. The Angry Birds movie is unique in that it's being completely done in-house – Rovio is funding and producing the film entirely on its own.

After being taken to task by the BBC's consumer rights show, Watchdog, Samsung says it's looking into reducing the memory footprint of its TouchWiz features on its flagship Galaxy S 4. A spokesperson told CNET UK that Samsung, "appreciate(s) this issue being raised," and that it is "reviewing the possibility [of] securing more memory space through further software optimization." The 16GB GS4 offers only 9.5GB of space for users to fill, but at least we know it's a possibility: Google announced yesterday that Samsung's Galaxy S 4 will arrive in an entirely vanilla Android guise this June. We've got the full statement from Samsung after the break.

Google has announced the launch of Android Studio, a new developer suite introduced at it IO dev conference.
Android Studio is designed to offer developers a look at how their apps will look across a variety of layouts and configurations, meaning that they can see how their apps will work on tablets, smartphones and a host of other platforms.
Commenting on Android Studio, Hugo Barra, vice president of Android product management, stated: “This is a fully featured IDE right from the get go.”
Google also announced that it will be improving its developer console, adding a number of features aimed at enabling developers to increase revenue from Android apps.
One such improvement is the addition of a section that offers advice on development and optimisation, while an app translation service will enable developers to attain professional translations via the developer console.
Meanwhile, a referral-tracking feature has been added, along with new revenue display graphs.
The improved developer console will also offer beta testing and staged rollouts, allowing developers to try out test versions of their apps before releasing them to the public.

Android may continue to be the most popular mobile operating system in the world, but it would seem that Samsung is the one raking in the benefits.
Estimates from research firm Strategy Analytics report that the Android platform generated a $7.9 billion profit in Q1 of 2013, with $5.1 billion of that being captured by Samsung.
A closer look at the figures reveals that $5.1 billion to be a whopping 94.7 per cent share of Android's entire profits.
In second place, but by no means close, was LG and its profits of $119 million. Whilst nothing about a profit of that size is feeble, it results in just a 2.5 per cent Android profit share.
Meanwhile, rival handset makers HTC, Sony and ZTE combined for just a 2.7 per cent share.
Whilst the results would at first suggest manufacturers outside of Samsung are struggling in the market, it's simply a case of the South Korean firm's dominance as the world's leading smartphone maker.
Expect the figures to grow even further following the recent release of Samsung's flagship Galaxy s 4 device.

We've still got about an hour and 20 minutes until the Google I/O keynote begins, but we're already starting to get hints of what's to come. The company just revealed, in an indirect sort of way, that the next-gen version of Android will be Android 4.3 (as opposed to, say, 5.0). The name popped up on one of Google's developer pages, which ended up being cached despite the fact that it wasn't live for very long. Unfortunately, that page didn't reveal much in the way of actual features, so it's unclear whether the jump from 4.2 to 4.3 will be a minor one. In any case, we'll find out in 78 minutes and counting.

 On stage at I/O today, Google just announced Android Studio, an integrated development environment for building apps. Based on IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, this new environment works as a WYSIWYG for creating applications, essentially, letting you make changes and get a preview in real time, boosting productivity and making it easier to build nice-looking apps with a bit less effort. There's a wide variety of emulators for previewing apps, so even if you don't have a particular device on hand, you can still make sure everything's working as intended. Also on display today was a new development console, offering up optimization tips, revenue graphs, beta-tester control and usage metrics pulled from analytics. All of these features will make things easier to manage for developers, giving them more time to create more polished apps that work well on a variety of Android devices.

Many have chastised Google for doing little to properly expose Android tablet apps, but it's addressing that in style: the Google Play Store now includes a dedicated section in the charts for the top tablet-native releases, all of which meet the company's design guidelines for bigger screens. The company is also bringing its recent Play Store mobile redesign to the web. It shares the same interface, but it takes advantage of the extra screen area with a sidebar that lets shoppers quickly switch between media types. Both updated portals should be accessible today.

As KMS Components celebrates a record start to 2013,PCR talks with sales director Steve Bland to discuss the firm’s success and the driving force behind it...
How has 2013 been for KMS so far?
Amazing. We have just been running through the numbers and it has been a record quarter for us as we run up to our 20th year.
If we continue in the vein that we’ve started in this year, we’ll have another increase of between 20 and 25 per cent on the previous year.
It seems that a lot of firms in consumer electronics are benefiting from healthy demand at the moment?
Yes – we’ve obviously seen some new players in the consumer electronics space and I think it’s certainly giving some of us some great products.
I think it’s a breath of fresh air for everyone really, not just distribution, but for retailers and for everyone else.
We’ve been so focused on selling peripherals and accessories surrounding PCs for so long now and to be honest, the majority of the distribution channel hasn’t been able to enjoy the laptop revolution that has happened within the market over the last few years.
So tablets and other new tech is giving us all a chance to move into new sectors.

Just as promised, Time Warner Cable has delivered a new version of its TWC TV app for Android users that includes access to live TV streams of certain channels while away from home. That new feature is accompanied by several other tweaks, including TV mini guide filtering and expanded device support for devices running Android 2.2 and higher. Out of home streaming is still more limited than that provided by solutions like Slingbox or Cablevision's Optimum, and streaming over cellular connections are restricted to Verizon only (for now.) Despite the restrictions, the app is out now and will hopefully see them loosened in the future, subscribers can grab it now at the link below.

For all those times you’ve wondered what to buy for your technology-and-food-obsessed nearest and dearest, the solution is finally here.
Consumer electronics manufacturer Archos has unveiled the ChefPad, the answer to all those kitchen-tablet dilemmas.
The 9.7-inch device comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, dual-core 1.6GHz processor, quad-core graphics processor, front and back cameras (for taking pictures during and after cooking, of course), 1080p video playback, and access to apps through Google Play. It will be available from June.
So what makes this tablet particularly ‘Cheffy’? It comes with an exclusive Chef Apps Selection, which includes recipes, cooking tips, video and even cooking assistant apps. According to the Archos team, "This exclusive app program curates the best of all apps from Google Play in any specified category making it easier for the end user to find the right content".
"The ChefPad is the first Archos tablet to use this filtering technology," says Loïc Poirier, CEO ofArchos. "This is just the beginning for Archos tablets using this technology; we will continue to launch new and exciting themed tablets that curate apps in such categories as kids apps, games, educational apps, business/productivity apps and more."
It also has a silicone case designed to keep it safe from water or food splashes, with an adjustable stand so that it’s easy to change the viewing angle.
No word yet on whether the pinkness or the cooking theme means it’s targeted towards women specifically, but it wouldn't be a surprise.

Marat Fayzullin hat seinen GameBoy Emulator VGB-Android wieder aktualisiert.
Quote:
I have just published VGB-Android 3.7.12, a new version of my GameBoy Classic and GameBoy Color emulator for Android, which will also do Super GameBoy emulation:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...id=com.fms.vgb
The new version fixes timings on a few common Z80 instructions, which should hopefully stop random slowdowns during emulation. Also, if you are using a Bluetooth joystick or keyboard, the new VGB will automatically hide the on-screen controls. Touch the screen to make them reappear, or you can disable this feature completely in the Settings. Finally, I have introduced some assembler optimizations to the "Soften Video" mode, previously added to my other emulators.
Fixed "JR offset" and "JR Z,offset" instruction timings.
Added option to hide virtual gamepad when using the real one (enabled by default).
Optimized "Soften Video" algorithm in assembler and gained +15fps.
Added Android menu and action items to the Gallery.
