Australia gets Google Play Movies

Google Play Movies

Good news for our friends down under, as Australia now has access to Google Play Movies, as you can see by this screen shot. There's still a pretty big empty spot there, though, and that'd be for Google Music. Will we see expansion outside the U.S. any time now? Let's hope.

Thanks, James!

Dual-core Galaxy S3 to be offered in some territories with Snapdragon S4 and LTE

Android Central

In addition to the quad-core HSPA+ version of its upcoming Galaxy S3, Samsung will launch a dual-core variant with LTE connectivity and a Snapdragon S4 chip for LTE markets outside of Korea. Reports from The Korea Times, which match what we’ve been told by our own sources, indicate that the the quad-core Exynos/HSPA+ version will see broad international availability, while the Snapdragon S4 model will launch in other countries with LTE, including the United States. KT reports that inside of Korea, Samsung will offer a CDMA/LTE model based on its own quad-core chip, though we haven’t been able to verify this specifically.

According to our sources, LTE radio compatibility was behind the decision to move to the S4 chip for the international 4G version of the Galaxy S3, and this makes sense if you look at the differences in LTE frequencies between the U.S. and Korea (and much of the rest of the world, in fact).

So it appears the situation will be similar to that of the AT&T HTC One X, where the manufacturer opts for a dual-core S4 instead of a competing quad-core chip, for the sake of LTE connectivity. This is nothing new, however -- we saw a similar situation last year with LTE variants of the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II, which used Snapdragon S3 chips. So once again it’s a choice between LTE and quad-core. But despite “only” being a dual-core chip, Qualcomm’s S4 is based upon the newer (and speedier) ARM Cortex A15 architecture, compared to Exynos’s A9, and we’ve already been impressed by the chip’s performance in the HTC One S.

Be sure to keep watching AC over the next week, as we rapidly approach the Galaxy S3’s London launch event.

Beyonce Named People Magazine?s Most Beautiful Woman 2012

People magazine?s annual most beautiful issue has arrived and the star taking home the top honor is Beyonce. She was named the most beautiful woman by the infamous magazine. On the Today show this morning it was revealed that singer and new mom Beyonce was named People magazine?s most beautiful woman. So what makes this amazing lady feel as beautiful as she looks, well as it turns out being a mom to her daughter Blue Ivy Carter. In the new issue, which hits newsstands on Friday, the fashion icon revealed that giving birth has made her feel more beautiful than ever. In fact it would appear that Jay-Z?s wife can?t stop gushing about not only being a mom but her little bundle of joy too. Even though motherhood seems to be priority number one for Beyonce that doesn?t mean she is giving up what she loves, entertaining that is. As you may or may not know she is scheduled to have her first post baby concert over Memorial Day weekend in Atlantic City. The ?Single Ladies? singer may have earned the title and a spot on the cover of the mag but the entire issue is filled with beautiful people, [...]
