- Zink slips WiFi-enabled ‘Print’ printer into the FCC’s database
Last time we heard from Zink, it was introducing some sort of digital camera in concert with Lady Gaga. Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, that was unveiled at CES earlier this year. If we’re assuming a yearly refresh cycle, it looks as if the company is planning its next major product launch for CES 2013, judging by a report of a new piece of kit that just surfaced at the FCC today. Simply entitled “Print” (or “Happy Print,” as the documentation occasionally states), the (presumed) printer will support 802.11b/g/n WiFi transfers, though there’s a USB option for those who prefer the tethered route. We also get the feeling it can be powered via an included battery pack, enabling IRL Instagrams to be printed out right there on location. There’s no user guide to speak of, so further functionality is apt to be kept under wraps until its official reveal. If we had to guess, we’d say that day is coming soon rather than later.

- GameStop now stocking Kindle Fire tablets, handing out free virtual bucks with purchase
The Kindle Fire line of tablets is the latest set of electronics to grace GameStop store shelves in the US, the Texas company announced recently. From the baby 7-inch all the way to the larger 8.9-inch, the entire Fire line will be carried in all of GameStop’s 4,400 US-based locations after a successful test run earlier this year with various Android-based tablets — presumably it won’t be too long before discounted, used versions of the tablets become widely available, as GameStop’s offering a $100 in-store credit trade incentive toward the original Kindle Fire. Sadly, you’ll only snag the free $25 Amazon.com gift card (offered through the end of January) if you purchase a brand new Fire, but then there’s always that $50 off sale going on today, right?

Qualcomm unveils 5G antennas for the X50 modem: up to four in a phone with MIMO
The Qualcomm X50 modem promises stunning speeds of 5Gbps, but it will need the right antennas to get there. The company just unveiled its first antennas for millimeter wave and for sub-6GHz communication. What's the difference? Millimeter wave operates at very high frequencies - the QTM052 antenna works above 26GHz and even in the 37-40GHz range and it can receive up to 800MHz of bandwidth. That's how you get to 5Gbps transfer speeds. The antenna itself is tiny and it needs to be. Qualcomm envisions up to 4 of them inside smartphones. Together with the X50 modem, they support beam...

Samsung strikes against Apple with three new Ingenius ads
Samsung's anti-iPhone ad series Ingenius just got a few new clips titled Fast Charger, Dongle and Camera - pretty self explanatory. In these ads Samsung depicts a faux Apple store with an Apple Genius Bar employee that answers iPhone X questions from pro-Galaxy S9/S9+ users. The first ad was Speed and it focused on the Galaxy S9/S9+'s Gigabit LTE support, granting it double the LTE download speeds. These three new ads focus on the iPhone X's lack of a headphone jack (which the Galaxies have, naturally), its sub-par (according to DxOMark) camera and its lack of fast charging. At least...
Apple reportedly talking to BOE for OLED displays for future iPhones
LG was set to supply OLED panels to Apple for the iPhone sequels and while that deal is still in motion, it looks like it won't take over from Samsung as the primary supplier. The latest rumors claims that China's BOE will have that honor. But the deal is yet to be finalized. First, the company will have to prove it can produce OLED panels to Apple's strict specifications and at the required volumes. BOE's Senior Vice President claims that the Chengdu factory is already at a 70% yield, which experts say is close to what the company will need for mass production. Still, if an agreement...
Samsung's Smart Speaker will be called Magbee, coming at IFA 2018
Samsung's anticipated smart speaker will be called Magbee, according to a couple of trademark applications Samsung filled in the US and Europe. We know very little of the speaker, outside of its existence, but we can bet good money that it will be powered by Bixby and Harman will have some involvement. Samsung's US trademark application, image credit: 91Mobiles A recent patent application revealed that the speaker will have a dial. Samsung is expected to have some sort of wireless home audio solution in place with the Magbee speaker - likely with support for multi room audio and...
