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.

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.

We picked up on a rumor out of China earlier this week which claimed to reveal the Galaxy Tab S3 specifications . It was claimed that the upcoming tablet would be powered by an Exynos 7420 processor with 4GB RAM. We’re seeing a conflicting report today as the Galaxy Tab S3 has now been spotted on the benchmarking website GFXBench. As per the benchmark result, the Galaxy Tab S3 features a 9.6-inch display with 2,048×1536 pixel resolution and a 2.1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor under the hood hooked up to 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. It also reveals that the device could feature a 12-megapixel rear camera and may be running Android 7.0 Nougat from the get go. It’s pertinent to mention here that only the 9.6-inch variant of the Galaxy Tab S3 has been spotted as far and it remains to be seen if its smaller sibling will make an apperance soon as well. Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything about its new flagship tablets. Hopefully it will have more to share at the Mobile Wor...
