iPhone 5 will use Near Field Communication and Samsung targets 40 million smartphone sales in 2011 and an 11 inch android tablet

Samsung expects to ship 40 million smartphones in 2011. The number would double the 20 million Samsung is hoping for this year. Most of its effort would lean on the Galaxy S, about 10 million of which could be sold through all of 2010. Samsung also dropped hints that it would expand its tablet line next year and would soon have a 10-inch parallel to the Galaxy Tab.

Cult of Mac reports – Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connection technology that would turn the iPhone into an electronic wallet or security passkey. Apple is also researching NFC for remote computing.

If users wave a NFC-equipped iPhone at a NFC Mac (they need to be in close proximity to interact), the Mac will load all their applications, settings and data. It will be as though they are sitting at their own machine at home or work. When the user leaves, and the NFC-equipped iPhone is out of range, the host machine returns to its previous state.

There are rumors of a Verizon iPhone launch on November 9

Engadget reports – LG Optimus Pad is coming in the first quarter of 2011, with Android Honeycomb, dual-core Tegra 2, and 8.9-inch screen.
