Verizon Galaxy S4: Confirmed Next Month, Price Still Pending

It’s been confirmed that the Verizon-bound Galaxy S4 is coming out in May this year after the carrier’s silence for quite some time. Other U.S. carriers have been talking a lot about their upcoming versions of Samsung’s newest smartphone and the latest Verizon announcement is just a reflection of its always “fashionably late” character. The first batch of releases is happening this month and Big Red is indeed late with its May announcement.

Verizon’s twitter announcement is lacking in details though since no exact date was given, and the price. Galaxy S4 is set to succeed Galaxy S3 as announced by Samsung last March and it is bound for a host of U.S. network carriers like the U.S. Cellular, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon. Most of these carriers with the exception of Verizon were already taking pre-orders of the smartphone ahead of its arrival within this month.

Leaked sources have revealed different exact dates of release but nothing has been confirmed and the date itself remains a mystery for all and sundry. As to the price, the carrier could probably pair it with the other carriers such as AT&Ts $ 199.99 (16Gb) on contract, Sprint’s $ 150 on-contract for new customers, and T-Mobile’s minimum downpayment technique. Verizon again remains mum on the price or options.

If revealing a secret becomes an expensive commodity, Apple may have become the richest and the most sought after company so far. These days, everyone tries to be the first to have a peek on Apple’s latest product and device. The latest news so far deals with the Cupertino-based company‘s plans to release a new Apple TV otherwise known as the iTV.

apple tv itv details Apple TV 2013 Announcement: Release For New Television Pending

While it is true that there is already an Apple TV in the market, it should never be confused with the currently rumored iTV. The current second generation Apple TV connects to a TV and allows movie downloads and music streaming. You can also use the TV as your MacBook’s monitor. However, the latest streaming device from Apple sold an unimpressive 2.7 million units during the first five months of 2012.

If an iTV is for real, most likely it will use several features found in the current Apple TV. On the other hand, many fans are hoping that the upcoming iTV is a real TV. It should be something that is lighter, can be easily hung on a wall, displays sharper picture and receives signals wirelessly.

Apple’s plans in holding a media event next month is the first big step to get nearer to everyone’s speculations on the iTV. Though the media announcement revolves around introducing the new developer tool for the new Apple TV such as an iTV SDK, it’s just a matter of time before we can hear a formal announcement for the new Apple TV launch itself.
