The summer slow down continues this week, and quite frankly, without Samsung, there would be little to no news to write about. But alas, there is. This week, Samsung sent out invites to two press events. One will be held on August 15th in New York. The company is expected to unveil the Galaxy Note 10.1 at this event. Then, Samsung will hold another event on August 29th in Berlin where it is expected to show the Galaxy Note II.
