Samsung launches duo of dual-SIM Galaxy Y Duos Androids

Samsung today introduced the GALAXY Y Duos and GALAXY Y Pro Duos, a pair of Android smartphones in the Galaxy product family that has space for two SIM cards, letting you lead a double life on your phone.

The two SIM cards mean you've got two phone numbers at your disposal, one for work, for instance, and one for your personal life. You can use data according to your plan, regardless of the SIM. Both phones run on the GSM technology (850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands) and have Samsung's TouchWiz software overlay.

The Galaxy Y Duos is an all-touch Android 2.3 Gingerbread set-up with a 3.1 inch QVGA screen, a 3-megapixel fixed-focus camera, and the Android works. It's got a 1,300mAh battery.

On the slightly higher end of the scale there's the Galaxy Y Pro Duos, which runs the same Android version and has a full QWERTY keyboard on its candybar frame (that keyboard is how you know it's "pro"). As a result, the screen is a smaller 2.6-inches. There's a 3-megapixel camera on the back, but Samsung has also added a front-facing VGA camera and a slightly larger 1,350mAh battery.

While there's no pricing for this yet, Samsung has shared a January release date, and a first market: Russia. The Galaxy Y Duos will then "gradually" roll out to Europe, Africa, CIS, Latin America, southeast and southwest Asia, the Middle East, and China. The keyboarded Pro version is headed to Europe, Africa, CIS, Latin America, Southwest Asia, and the Middle East.

North Americans looking for this type of solution are sadly going to have to keep looking for now (or start lobbying Samsung). I'm interested in seeing this in action; hopefully, Samsung brings the duo of Duos along with them to CES, just for fun.

Facebook top search term in 2011

Summary: Facebook was the top-searched term overall in the US this year, accounting for 3.10/4.42 percent of all searches, depending on how you slice it. It was also the second-most visited website.

Facebook was the top-searched term overall in the US this year. The data comes from competitive intelligence service Experian Hitwise, which analyzed the top 1,000 search terms for 2011.

This is the third year in a row that Facebook has been the top search term overall, accounting for 3.10 percent of all searches, a 46 percent increase from last year. Looking at the top 10 terms, there were four variations of Facebook searchesw: ?facebook,? ?facebook login,? ?facebook.com,? and ?www.facebook.com.? Together, they accounted for 4.42 percent of searches overall, a 24 percent increase from last year.

As you can see in the chart above, the search term ?youtube? moved up from the third spot in 2010 to the second spot in 2011. ?Facebook login? was the third most-searched term in 2011, followed by ?craigslist? and ?facebook.com.? The last one moved up one spot in 2011 to be among the top five search terms.

Facebook was also the top-visited website for the second year in a row. It accounted for 10.29 percent of all U.S. visits between January and November 2011 ? a 15 percent increase from 2010. Google.com ranked second, with 7.70 percent of visits, followed by YouTube (3.17 percent), Yahoo Mail (2.95 percent), and Yahoo (2.47 percent).

In terms of properties, Google still beat Facebook, since the latter only has one website. Google properties accounted for 11.98 percent of all U.S. visits - a 22 percent increase compared with 2010. Facebook properties accounted for 8.93 percent, and Yahoo properties accounted for 6.81 percent.

Facebook isn?t likely to pass Google next year but it has the potential to do so in the next few years. The social networking giant is already beating the search giant in a few other traffic-related areas, including top searches as outlined above, so it wouldn?t surprise me if Facebook was crowned first here as well.
