In a surprising move, Galaxy Tab 7.7 that was unveiled a couple of days back at IFA, has been removed by Samsung from the show. Every demo unit as well as marketing material related to Galaxy Tab 7.7 has been removed by Samsung due to the ongoing litigation with Apple. According to the released statement, Samsung is doing it due to the Dussledorf court’s decision made on September 2.

Samsung respects the court’s decision (The District Court in Dusseldorf) made on September 2 and therefore decided not to display any more the GALAXY Tab 7.7 in IFA. However, we believe it severely limits consumer choice in Germany. Samsung will pursue all available measures, including legal options, to defend its intellectual property rights and ensure its innovative products remain available to German consumers.

Samsung has upgraded its robotic vacuum cleaner line with the new NaviBot S. The new robotic cleaning device is 10 percent smaller than the previous generation and all it needs a touch of a button to start cleaning. The NaviBot S is equipped with the Auto Dust Emptying function, which means that if the dust container in the NaviBot S is filled up, the vacuum cleaner automatically heads to its charge base to evacuate the filled container to the attached central bin. Additionally, while the NaviBot S is emptying all the dust, the charging base cleans the vacuum cleaner’s brush for hair removal etc.

Just like the previous generation, NaviBot S is also equipped with an onboard camera but with the Visionary Mapping Plus System, the cleaner can capture images of the house at 30fps and map its optimum route for complete cleaning. NaviBot S also remembers the cleaned area and automatically increases suction power according to the quantity of dust.

Samsung hasn’t revealed the price or availability details of the NaviBot S.

Samsung has announced a special edition of its svelte and durable Series 9 notebook. The new edition will keep the same hardware but will come in two luxurious looking colors — Moonlight Blue and Rose Gold. There’s also a crystal design pattern on the notebook lid for added effect.

No word on the price but expect to pay some premium over the regular Series 9.
