Samsung has already confirmed that its future mobile devices will have 64-bit support. Apple's iPhone 5S will be the first official 64-bit smartphone on the market.

Intel's Bay Trail Atom chips offer 64-bit support, according to Android Authority. A future Samsung or Android product could be using these chips in the future.

Sundar Pichai made an appearance during the event to discuss Chrome and Android and spent most of his time talking about increasing the presence of its eco-system. He did not touch on anything related to 64-bits.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4 could both feature 64-bit CPUs, according to a statement made by Samsung earlier this month.

"Not in the shortest time. But yes, our next smartphones will have 64-bit processing functionality," said Shin Jong-kyun, Samsung's mobile business chief, adding that he followed the media coverage of Apple's new iPhone.

He also implied that Samsung's market share in China would remain intact despite the increase in brand awareness Apple made with the new iPhone 5C.

Download FIREFOX For Windows, OS X, Linux And Android Released

Mozilla has just dropped version number 22 of its popular Firefox browser and with it, brought a whole host of new and exciting features. Included in this release is support 3D gaming, video calls, and file sharing, affording developers enhanced compatibility with less requirement for plugins and other unnecessary third-party installations. Further details, as well as information on how you can get the latest version of Firefox, are coming up right after the break!

With these regular release cycles Mozilla has been rolling out for Firefox over the past couple of years in order to keep the browser fresh and competitive, we’ve become accustomed to number releases delivering rather minor alterations. While, to the end user, that would seem to be the case here once again, this new support for 3D gaming and such will certainly benefit the consumer in the long run.

With Google’s Chrome still making good headway in the browser game, Mozilla’s resolve has certainly been tested to the limits, but the company has kept fighting and continues to push updates on what is still to be considered among the best in the business.

There’s no doubting that Firefox 22 is, by and large, a dev-centric release aimed at making things just that little bit easier for the development world. With that said, these changes will be crucial in helping Firefox continue to improve and evolve, and with WebRTC and asm.js support now at the heart of the process, Firefox is very much in the here and now.

Notably, Google began integrating WebRTC, or Web Real-Time Communications, back in October of last year, but with preliminary testing having begun with Firefox version 18 beta, the feature is now apparently ready. It will, according to Mozilla, “integrate seamlessly with a users’ mobile phone and make voice or video calls and share files,” and with Web chat services has popular as they’ve ever been, this is a milestone in the timeline of Firefox.

As well as keeping regular updates for Windows, OS X and Linux, Mozilla has long since been maintaining a focus on the mobile game, and as such, Firefox for Android has also been bumped. The new features should work for the mobile iteration as well as the desktop versions, although Firefox for Android does note in the change log that new version doesn’t include WebRTC or asm.js support just yet.

You can grab Firefox 22.0 right now from: mozilla.org and also, the Android version of the app has also been bumped up to version 22, which you can grab right now from the Google Play Store.

Jelly Bean port passes the butter to the Galaxy S III, ROM-flashing required.

It took only one day for devs to unleash Jelly Bean 4.1 from its server confines and out into the eager underbelly of Android’s community. And those enterprising hackers haven’t wasted any time getting that buttered up OS running on Galaxy Nexus handsets (yes, even for Verizon subs). Now, good news is also on the way for any consumers who forsook the pure Google path in favor of Samsung’s TouchWizzed way. That’s right, a (mostly) working port has been made available to Galaxy S III (I9300) users that should see some of that point upgrade’s features successfully implemented. Feel free to take it for a test run if you’re skilled in the ways of flashing, but bear in mind you’ll lose access to the camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, storage and audio. It goes without saying that this build is far from the perfect ROM for a daily driver, but if you’re curious to check it out first-hand, there’s no harm in trying. Hit up the source below for the step-by-step how-to.

Rumor: Google working on Nexus 10 Tablet too!

It should come as no surprise that Google isn’t content on releasing a “Google Experience” tablet just in a 7-inch form factor. No, there’s a whole tablet sector to conquer — a sector with Apple’s name written all over it — and sources claim Google is continuing on with its quest by attacking the iPad on the 10-inch front.

According to unnamed sources, Wintek shipped 500,000 units of OGS (one glass solution) touch panels for Google’s Nexus 7 tablet in June. Total shipments of OGS panels to the search engine giant are expected to top at least one million units during the May to July 2012 period — that’s not including the OGS touch panels Google will receive from TPK Holding subsidiary Cando as well.

The sources claim that Google will also launch a 10-inch Nexus tablet using OGS panels from Wintek, making the company the largest touch panel supplier for Google. Also in the 10-inch plan is supplier AU Optronics, the sources said.

Recently Wintek chairman Hyley Huang said that OGS panels are expected to become mainstream next year, with an estimated 26.5 million notebooks to adopt touch panels in 2013. He also indicated that the company is venturing into the development of F/G touch panel solutions which will come in thicknesses measuring 0.1 to 0.2-mm.

Wintek reports that it has a production capacity of three million medium-sized OGS touch panels, and five million small-sized OGS touch panels.

News of a 10-inch Nexus tablet arrives after Microsoft revealed its Windows 8-based branded Surface tablet last week. The gadget will arrive in two flavors: x86-based with Windows 8 Pro, and ARM-based with Windows RT. It will feature a cool screen cover that also serves as a super-thin keyboard.

There’s also talk that Amazon will launch the 10-inch version of its Kindle Fire “Hollywood” tablet before the end of the year. Like the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (2), it will feature a metal casing rather than a plastic body as seen with the original, a front-facing camera, and a possible mini-HDMI output jack.
