Specs leak for new Samsung 18-inch tablet

Samsung is rumored to be preparing a massive tablet for the market, and the specs for the massive device have now been leaked. The specs claim a display size of 18.5 inches, which sounds almost unusable, but we’ll have to reserve judgement until it’s in our hands.

The other specs are a 1080p display, an octa-core 1.6GHz Samsung Exynos 7 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of memory, a 2MP front facing camera, and a 5,700 mAh battery. While it isn’t all that impressive, it should be more than enough to power that 1080p display. Battery life, on the other hand, may be short.

What do you think about an 18-inch tablet? Would you purchase one? Leave a comment!

Sprint to cut up to $2.5 billion in spending, resulting in future job cuts

Sprint isn’t looking too good recently, and it shows from the latest decision by Sprint’s new CEO. The company aims to save between $2 and $2.5 billion dollars in the next 6 months, which is quite a feat considering it spent $7.5 billion in a three-month span ending June 30.

One way to save this money is for the financial department to review all spending requests. Another is to cut jobs, which is inevitable according to the CEO. Unfortunately for those working for Sprint, jobs are on the line.

Considering the company hasn’t turned a profit since 2006, cutting spending is important. On the other hand, building a better network (something Sprint is lacking in many important areas) is just as important to retain customers. Unfortunately, due to financial issues, Sprint will not be participating in the next wireless spectrum auction.

Things are looking bleak for Sprint, but if only for competition, we hope that the company can stay afloat.
