No more free Galaxy Buds with S10 pre-orders in the US

-

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is shaping up to be smash hit of the season. Many have already pre-ordered the S10 and S10 Plus, and are patiently waiting for their new smartphones to arrive. Up until now, the two phones also came with a pleasant surprise in the box - a pair of free Galaxy Buds. However, it seems that the Korean company has run out of earbuds to give away.

Now, Samsung is offering a $130 eCertificate instead, which can be used to purchase select products on Samsung's official website and app. We don't currently know which products are included in the selection, but we presume you could use your certificate to purchase Galaxy S10 accessories or the Galaxy Buds themselves when they become available.

Of course, a situation like this is to be expected with the high demand for the new S10 range. The South Korean company itself stated that the free Galaxy Buds were only available "while supplies last".

If you pre-ordered the Galaxy S10e, on the other hand, don't expect an eCertificate or Galaxy Buds - this model does not come with pre-order perks.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 phones begin shipping on March 8, but some models might be slightly delayed to March 22. Have you ordered yours? Let us know in the comments.

Telenav Seeks Disruption With Free In-Car Services

Location-based solution provider Telenav is seeking to disrupt the in-car services industry with a new monetization platform designed to offer a variety of in-car services such as free navigation to consumers and monetize them through advertising. Originally announced at Las Vegas, Nevada-based Consumer Electronics Show in January, Telenav's offering is effectively targeted at bringing the ad-supported software business model that already proved its worth in the mobile industry to the in-vehicle tech segment. The company's internal studies and a number of independent surveys suggest the vast majority of consumers "would prefer free in-car services monetized through ads rather than pay for them" like they would traditionally, Telenav Executive Director of Strategy Ky Tang told AndroidHeadlines in an interview. Telenav says its in-car solution can be applied to a wide variety of use cases and technologies that consumers have come to expect from contemporary vehicles....

How Google Maps Made The Navigation Industry “Sweat”

The arrival of contemporary smartphones and mobile apps in the late 2000s didn't just fundamentally change what consumers expect from their handsets, it also ended up disrupting a wide variety of industries, with mobile navigation being its first target.  Founded in 1999, Santa Clara, California-based Telenav was enjoying a relatively successful first decade of existence, having worked with major U.S. carriers such as AT&T and Sprint on offering navigation services. Following the arrival of Google Maps, it suddenly found itself having to rethink its flagship product after after Google's solution, offering a comparable navigation service free of charge, became available on every new smartphone.  "It made the industry sweat quite a bit at the time," Telenav Executive Director of Strategy Ky Tang recalled in an interview with Android Headlines, asserting Google Maps had changed the navigation game significantly. At a time when smartphones were enjoying massive globa...
