You've read that right folks, smartphones nowadays claim that they can pretty much do everything. Add to that Korean carrier SK Telecom 's marketing of their new service bundled with the Galaxy S to be launched within the week. Although in hindsight, the Galaxy S Hoppin is really just your android phone that includes a dock that allows you to hook it up to your TV and use the company's Hoppin streaming service to get content to it. You can get movies for 1000 to 3500 Won (or around $0.89 to $3.12). Other than that, the phone specs are relatively the same.

Looking for further evidence that the iPhone 5 is on its way? You’re in luck! DIGITIMES’ Willie Teng reports that Apple has added Foxconn Electronics, Foxlink, Gold Circuit Electronics (GCE) and Epistar as component suppliers for the iPhone 5, more evidence that development of the next generation of Apple’s iconic smartphone is proceeding toward a product release later this year. While this is great news for iPhone 5 hopefuls, don’t get your hopes up for a Spring iPhone 5 release. Teng expects the iPhone 5 will not launch until summer at the earliest, based on a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report. And that sounds about right, since there are rumors of the iPad 2 launch anticipated in March or April and probably a round of MacBook Pro updates as well coming up that should keep Apple’s dance card full for the near future.
