The mobile device market has no lack of attractive Android-running smartphones, and still Samsung has managed to score big with its Galaxy line. During the seven months following the phones launch, Samsung sold more than 10 million of them, which, during the fourth quarter of 2010, helped it to pass the 80-million-phones mark for the first time in the companys history. Looking to keep the momentum going, Samsung at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show announced that it has created a 4G smartphone and tablet for Verizon Wireless. It also plans to introduce a Galaxy S successor phone with a dual-core processor and Super AMOLED Plus display during the first half of 2011. In addition, on Jan. 26, Samsung introduced four new Galaxy smartphones for first-time smartphone owners. (Not to mention its Galaxy Tab media tablet, which it sold more than 2 million of in just three months.) Samsungs success appears to be due, in part, to an aesthetic that takes cues from Apple and the very un-Apple-like decision to make deals with each of the big U.S. carriers, instead of going for an exclusive contract. While Samsung& which ranks second in worldwide phone sales& hasnt yet threatened Apples sales, EndPoint Technologies analyst Roger Kay told eWEEK, "It has demonstrated that its a worthy competitor." – …

Lollapalooza Chile: The Killers, JaneÂ’s, Kanye, Fatboy
CHICAGO FEST GOES TO SOUTH AMERICA
The Killers |
The lineup for the inaugural Lollapalooze Chile has been announced. 50-plus acts will perform on five stages at the two-day festival set to happen Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3 in O’Higgins Park, Santiago, Chile.
“The job we did to gather these artists for 2011 was remarkable,” says fest co-organizer Perry Farrell. “Imagine gathering 60 artists while the contract ink is still wet. We put it together at a record pace as we had four months. We did not want to come to Chile with a lineup that was anything other than world-class, and my partners Marc Geiger of WME and Charles Attal of C3 have been absolutely integral to Lollapalooza Chile launching in 2011. Our selections are very animated, with much diversity. There is Chilean talent in the mix. Now that the lineup is announced here, we are going back to Chile to work on the other aspects of the festival. Our ambition is to plant a very strong seed in Chile, one that will grow over the years, and provide Santiago with an event for the ages.”
Available now for the festival are general two-day passes for $110 presale, $136 then $152; Lolla Lounge two-day VIP passes for $320 presale then $380; And beginning February 11, general admission single day tickets for $72 presale then $84 and VIP passes for $240. All passes can be purchased here.

Conspirator: Winter Dates with Full Band Lineup
CONSPIRATOR CONFIRMS SERIES OF UNIQUE “FULL BAND” PERFORMANCES
![]() Conspirator |
Conspirator, the duo of Disco Biscuits‘ staples Marc
Brownstein and Aron Magner which often feature guest musicians in the live setting, has announced
a series of “full band” performances featuring Chris Michetti and a rotating cast of first-class drummers, a
concept that is both new and refreshing for the band and fans, alike.
While Brownstein and Magner have occasionally invited other musicians to their live shows, the “new Conspirator”
promises to be a never-before-experienced, “full band” sound that will emerge not only from the group’s mentality,
but by featuring a solidified, returning, 4-piece lineup.
Live music fans have come to embrace Conspirator for their signature high energy, electronic-based sets and their
legendary album, The Key, which has been a staple of the band’s live repertoire for years. Now, with a
firmly set 4-piece band, fans can expect performances featuring increased live improv and a refreshing musical flow,
peppered with some surprises. Inspired by new collaborations and the combined musical histories of the
performers,
Conspirator is set to get the scene talking in 2011.
