Samsung's marketing lead Younghee Lee outlined a different plan of attack for reaching the US in an interview published on Monday. She made clear to AllThingsD that Apple was the company's main target. Americans were "obsessed with Apple," she said, and her goal was to trigger that same, seemingly irrational desire for Samsung's devices.
Motorola has posted an Android software upgrade schedule on its support forums website detailing when users can expect to get their handsets freshened up. In the US, the Backflip is said to get the upgrade to Android 2.1 this summer, with the Cliq and Cliq XT getting it early in the fall or late in the summer, as it's currently undergoing testing. The Droid X will get the latest Android 2.2 software later this summer.
Best Buy on Tuesday said it will launch the Motorola Devour on February 25th, and is now offering pre-orders for the handset. This is ahead of the previously expected ship date of March at Verizon, which could still hold true. The pre-sale, which starts today only in stores, requires that hopefuls buy a $50 Best Buy gift card if they want to secure a spot in advance.
