Samsung worker confirms April launch for Galaxy S III
Quad-core Ice Cream Sarnie phone to debut in UK
A Samsung staffer has confirmed that the Galaxy S III smartphone will be out next month, as past rumours and the handset's officially recognised absence from this week's Mobile World Congress (MWC) have suggested.
That said, the source, who whispered in the ear of the chap from ZDNet Korea, spilled the beans under the condition he remain anonymous, so this is no official confirmation of the launch.
The mole didn't discuss the handset's specs, which are said to centre on a quad-core processor - a kind of chip Sony, for one, doesn't think is ready for prime time - a 12Mp camera and a curved OLED screen.
It's hard to see it not shipping with Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The indications are the S III will be go on sale first in the UK, tied into Samsung's sponsorship of the London Olympics this summer. ®

Indeed. A friend of mine bought a Mac Book Pro thingy, it actually turned out to be the cheapest way to get the hardware spec he wanted. How times have changed eh?!
He then installed Win 7 on it.
I've dared him to take it to the genius bar if it develops a problem.
My iPhone has

Needless to say, people that sit in Starbucks to "work" (read: show off how important they are) are not a very good representation of the global technology market.

Actually, the dominant laptop is hp, i base this on that its the only brand of laptop/desktop that i could see over a houndred ppl using when i was at work on friday.
Furthermore, based on a survey i did once, consisting of one bloke, 100% of people have never even heard of apple macs :)
