Following its official unveiling at Mobile World Congress in February and a late April launch, Samsung’s dual-core Android powerhouse has become a firm consumer favourite outselling Apple’s iPhone 4 to become the UK’s most popular handset three months in a row.

"Since its launch in late April 2011, the Galaxy S2 has seen continued sales success, demonstrating Samsung's industry-leading capabilities in - and commitment to - the smartphone market" said JK Shin, President and Head of Samsung's Mobile Communications Business.

"In just five months the Galaxy S2 has seen tremendous growth, reflecting its tremendous popularity with customers around the world, who in selecting the Galaxy S2 as their device of choice have driven the device's strong market position globally."

Samsung Galaxy Tab sales only 20k

Samsung just can't seem to get a break, with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 being banned, and now the Galaxy Tab 7.7 being publicly removed from IFA, other companies have started hitting out

In a story published by the Guardian, an executive from Lenovo has claimed that Samsung sold just 20,000 units of the original Samsung Galaxy Tab, out of a stockpile of around 1m.

 Andrew Barrow, director of consumer products and pricing for Europe went on to explain that if one were to follow Samsung's attempts to challenge Apple the problem would be that "any [manufacturer] would be giving money away." Samsung has not yet made any comment in return to the statement but it's worth noting that as yet they have never released hard stats that show sales for their original Galaxy Tab.

Samsung has been suffering with setbacks ever since Apple began its patent war against the company, firstly with the ban of their newly updated the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Then there were attempts to ban their flagship smartphone the Galaxy S2, and now finally their latest tablet the Galaxy Tab 7.7 was removed from the IFA tech conference after Apple won a ban on the tablet.

iPhone 5 prototype lost in bar

History has once again repeated itself as yet another supposed prototype model of the Apple iPhone 5 is left in a San Francisco bar

An Apple staffer has once again misplaced a prototype - this time of the iPhone 5 - in a San Francisco bar. The news comes just a year after an unreleased Apple iPhone 4 was misplaced in a Californian bar and sold to a gadget website, sparking a wave of controversy.

This latest incident has not led to any online spy shots, although Apple is said to have reported the matter to police when the loss occurred back in July at the Cava 22 bar. Having traced the phone to an apartment in San Francisco, police searched the property and quizzed the man who lived there, but found no evidence.

Furthermore, Apple staff  who were present at the search are said to have offered cash to the man for the safe return of the phone. He continued to deny any knowledge of the device.

The news will be acutely embarrassing for Apple after it suffered such a huge security breach last year. Whether the lost device is a final Apple iPhone 5 model remains unclear. Either way, Apple will be desperate to get its new phone announced so it can avoid suffering the same fate as it did in the run up to the iPhone 4’s release.

Zelda Gold Wii Remote Hits Stores.

New controller comes as part of new Zelda bundle.

Not shoved your Wii up in the loft in preparation for the arrival of the Wii U? Well, this one’s for you. Nintendo has just rolled out a new gold version of its Wii remote as part of a bundle for its new Zelda game.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword package comes with a copy of the game, as well as the slick new remote. Slathered in gold, it comes with a Zelda royal crest and has MotionPlus tech baked in.

There’s also a free soundtrack CD, although we have to say the game itself is getting us more het up than, “…orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise.”

The game is due to cost $70 with the controller in the US.

The iPhone 5 will not have a 4-inch screen

Insiders reckon screen will either stay same size as iPhone 4 or get minor bump.

The iPhone 5 will not have a 4-inch screen, despite a slew of rumours and web speculation that Apple was looking to amp up the panel in order to compete with larger, flagship Android devices.

Supply chain sources, speaking with Digitimes, claim that the screen will be between 3.5 and 3.7 inches with a thinner bezel. These sources suggest that any talk of a 4-inch screen is emanating from those who want to see Apple include a larger screen.

The news follows a string of new stories about the iPhone 5 over the bank holiday weekend, with chatter about a new metal back plate and a completely new design for the top-end phone. Word is the headline-grabbing device will be joined by an 8GB iPhone 4, sold at a cheap price.

New Toshiba Android tablet

Toshiba set to take second bite at tablet cherry with newly designed effort.

Toshiba is set to reveal a new, super-slim Android tablet at IFA, the German gadget trade show which kicks off later this week. The new slate will replace the Thrive, which received mixed reviews thanks to average design and its chunky size.

The next-gen tab, spied by Notebook Italia, will tote micro SD, micro USB and micro HDMI, as well as a front-facing camera for gTalk video chat sessions. A 1.5GHz processor should ensure things move at lightning speed.

Other specs remain thin on the ground, but all will be revealed in Berlin by the end of the week. Toshiba will have to ensure this really is top notch, especially with the iPad 2 running away with the tablet lead and a slew of other killer tablets expected at the show.
