Re: GS3 Hype
Cnet was yapping on about an anonymous source saying that the "GS3" (lets just call it that until we get it's real name) is just an "incremental" update over the GS2 much as the iPhone 4s was over the 4. Can Samsung afford to do this, especially with a phone that geeks and the rest of the world have been waiting for for months, and a phone that's going to be the "official" smartphone of the Olympics? All the huge hoopla for a phone that's just an incremental update? If you think about it, the GS2 still is a fast, awesome phone, and if the specs come in line with the rumored 720p (or even 1080p if you read BGR) Super Amoled plus display, the 4412 quad core processor (was hoping for the 5 series dual core based on A15 vs the A9) and a 8 MP camera together with ICS and a updated version of Touchwiz, then this "incremental" update falls right in line with what everyone has been expecting to begin with. It's an evolutionary step close to the step Samsung took going from the Galaxy S to the S2. I can't imagine this phone seeing the day of light without any of the rumored specs I just mentioned, especially the screen.
So, if this is there idea of "incremental", I am fine with it, gives you something to look forward one again by the end of the year. If they then manage to come out with a revolutionary product (bendable screen, 5 series processor, more ram, more whatever), then great, but I don't see the point of another such major step so soon.
We need a countdown clock. I for one will be glued to my computer come May 3rd, 2 PM, mostly likely with browser sitting on Samsungs FB site waiting for the live stream to start.
