It is the successor to LG’s first Vu phablet - a very wide, virtually impossible to hold with one hand device with a 5-inch screen and a strange 4:3 aspect ratio that was tailor-made for TV programming and the Asian public that watches it on phones on long public transit rides.

Samsung Galaxy Note II is Here!!

All we know so far is that it's possibly coming to US shores at some point in November, but the good news is that Sprint brought along one of the world's most famous phablets to a press event in New York City and, better yet, we got to play with it for a little while.

Apple co-founder and chairman Steve Jobs  was hailed as a successful technology entrepreneur, having built up one of the most recognized consumer electronics companies globally and creating some of the most coveted devices around the world......

1. Be innovative
Steve Jobs was committed and dedicated to technological innovation, Moaiyad Hossenally, senior industry manager for Asia-Pacific ICT practice at Frost & Sullivan, noted in an e-mail.

Pointing to one of Jobs' quotes, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower", he said the former Apple CEO worked at marrying art and science to bring about technological innovation. "This was the biggest difference in Apple as compared to other PC manufacturers."

Jan Dawson, chief telecoms analyst, said Jobs was not constrained by what has been done before, what is available in the market, or what consumers think they want. Under his leadership, Apple had been very good at reinventing categories in a way consumers could not have articulated "ahead of time" but responded to "enthusiastically", the analyst explained in an e-mail.
