If you have not already heard about it, this is great news! Apparently the Samsung Galaxy SII rumors are true and this bad boy has been approved by the FCC. What’s so sweet about this device is that it supports 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies, meaning it’ll almost certainly come with dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi. We heard this is one of the first phones ever to come with this feature.

Looks like this may also be a hybrid (dual band) device which is great for developers if so. Sources suggest it’s potentially headed to AT&T as well as Canada. Which ever place it will go first it shouldn’t be too much longer before you start seeing images and prices flooding the internet.

For now let us know what you think in the comments box below.

Skype has been available on Verizon Android phones for a while now, but because of the exclusive deal between Verizon and Skype, it was limited to only that carrier. Now that wait is finally over and Skype is now available for every 2.1+ Android phone, regardless of carrier. In the US, you’ll be limited to Skype Calls using WiFi only though. Unfortunately it doesn’t support video chat either, and there’s no mention of future support for it.

You should be able to find it in the Android Market.

According to Sagem Orga, “The new generation USIM card “SIMFi” can be inserted in any type of classic handset to act as a universal and interoperable HSPA/Wi-Fi router for any device.” The cards are being made now for Telefonica, though no release date was announced. I for one never knew you could fit WiFi circuitry into a 25 x 15 x 0.76mm footprint but this should be some exciting news for the future of tethering.
