Tweens are more technologically savvy and count the internet as a source of happiness, research shows. Today's six- to 12-year-olds are laden with gadgets their older siblings could only have dreamed about – two-thirds of them own mobile phones and iPods.

From time to time, Samsung creates products that grab our attention — and our wallets. Testifying to its growing strength in the smartphone industry, the Aug. 5 edition of The Korea Times reported Samsung will open its twelfth R&D center in Bangladesh next year, focused on software development in response to surging market demand for upgraded smartphone technology. The latest company flagship phone is the Galaxy S i19000, which was introduced during the CTIA 2010 event in the US. This particular line of smartphone has several slightly different variations of the same product.
