- PSA: Some Meebo services shutting down starting next week
News barely just hit the airwaves about Google snapping up social platform Meebo, and already it’s being dismantled. As from Monday (June 11th,) Meebo Messenger, Sharing on Meebo, MeeboMe and all the mobile apps will be shutting down. In the meantime you’ll still be able to download chat logs, sharing history and so on, but you’ll need to hop on quick, before the final curtain. Meebo does confirm, however, that its Bar product will continue to be available, and receive support, for the at least the coming months.

Meebo | Email this | Comments - ComScore: Nearly a quarter of US smartphone owners have tablets, love their video
If you’ve got a smartphone, it’s increasingly likely that you’re also carrying a tablet as a sidearm. ComScore understands that 23.6 percent of American smartphone owners also have an iPad, Kindle Fire or some other large touchscreen slab as of April. That’s only 16.5 percent of all cellphone owners in the land, but that’s a huge jump from 9.7 percent of smartphone owners (4.7 percent of cellphone owners) just one year earlier. And if you do own a slate, odds are that you’re watching your fair share of movies and cat videos. More than half of tablet users, 53 percent, fire up the likes of Netflix or YouTube at least once a month, with almost a tenth (9.5 percent) tuning in daily. Tablet lovers are unsurprisingly three times more likely to watch than their smartphone counterparts, suggesting that it’s just a short hop from buying a tablet to catching up on Daily Show episodes.

vivo Pad trademarked with European IP Office
vivo trademarked several product names last year, one of which was the "vivo Pad" tablet that was expected to arrive in January. However, that didn't happen, and months later, there's still no word from vivo about its first tablet. But it looks the company will soon enter the tablet category since a vivo device, believed to be a tablet, bagged TUV certification earlier this month, and now the vivo Pad name has been trademarked with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The vivo Pad is trademarked under Class 9, which covers several product categories, including tablet...

Samsung Galaxy F42 5G seems to be a rebranded Galaxy A22 5G
Samsung's Galaxy F42 5G first surfaced last month when it received its Wi-Fi certification, and today it's back again, this time with the Bluetooth certification. This signifies that it's getting closer to launch. The weird thing is that the certification for the Galaxy F42 5G is shared with the one for the recently unveiled Galaxy A22 5G, and this strongly hints at the fact that the F42 5G may be nothing but a rebranded version of the A22 5G. It wouldn't be the first time Samsung did something like this with the F series rebranding products from the A series, in fact it's been pretty much...
