Update.

The BBC undertook a survey around a month ago which tested 3G reception out and about around the UK. All you had to do was own an Android smartphone and download an app which was later criticised for eating up your juice. The makers, Epitiro later threw out a hotfix update to remove that minor issue.

Chrome, get it on Samsung’s netbook

Samsung are first to ship their new Series 5 netbooks with Chrome OS.

imageIf you are the sort of person who uses your laptop to check out YouTube, browse through your emails, surf the web, if so you will then want to get your hands on the new Samsung Series 5 netbooks running Chrome OS.

We all love our devices to be thin and attractive, come on be honest so Samsung have achieved through a thin casing and white lid. The weight is just over 2kg so its light enough to take around with you wherever you ago.

Now thanks to Google making nearly everything run from the Internet there is no need for a fast processor so the Samsung Series 5 runs on a dual-core Atom chip. However, it is still more than capable of a fast boot up.

Stay connected through Wi-Fi and a 3G adapter as well for an extra bit of money. Google Chrome will also feature an offline mode and expect a battery life of eight hours or more connected to the Internet or not.

The netbook will cost £349 or if you want 3G, £399.  Get your hands on the Samsung’s Series 5 on June 24th.
