Accessories will be the real success of the GS3

[tekhna]

Since Samsung was able to force every carrier to accept the same model globally, with only minor internal changes, this might be our first chance for serious accessories.
That's one of the huge selling points of the iPhone--you can get awesome stuff like BookBook Amazon.com: Twelve South BookBook for iPhone 4/4S: Cell Phones & Accessories
because it makes economic sense for the manufacturer to make them. There's one model, hugely available, meaning economies of scale that simply aren't possible in the massively fractured Android handset landscape.
I'm really excited about this and hope accessory manufacturers step up. HTC really dropped the ball here in deviating from the hero model. Samsung is going it right, and this is just one of the reasons (timely updates being the other)

this is honestly a HUGE move for Android. love the fact that every player went with the original version no delay to release after announcement and a greater advantage with accessories on a phone that is TOP OF THE LINE

I'm just thinking about an otterbox for this bad boy. Hope it comes before release date.

Great move on their part. How to carry this beast is a concern I have coming from a flip phone.

WTF is a flip phone?

Honeslty I like the Casemate cases and then use Ghost Armour overlay to protect the screen. Bulky cases are not my cup of tea.

Maybe get something like this until the bigger names come out with their cases...

so, lets talk about the accessories Samsung is going to release;

anyone have a specific dock they plan to get?
anyone plan to get the "c" pen?
or the "pebble" mp3 player?
or the HDMI (MHL) adapter?

so far I have only ordered a cheap TPU case from the bay to protect my s3 until i decide on what would be best. as much as i'd like to keep it case-free...i just know I would destroy it without one.

any other accessories jump out at anyone?

is the flip cover case only in pebble blue ?

I am really interested in the wireless charging mat :O

I wish there were more information on it.

dunno if they have it figured out yet.
Wireless charger for Galaxy S III delayed until September | Electronista

from what I have heard, the kit includes a different battery cover for the back of the phone to make it work with the charge plate.

reminds me of the palm pre.

Will there be something like the HTC EVO LTe Media Link adaptor?

like a mhl adapter?;

linky

sure!



or did you mean wireless like the allshare cast;

LINKY

in any case...YES!

the s3 will have something to link media along with their updated DLNA service which i think is now called allshare play because it uses wifi with dlna

check the samsung splash page for the s3...its on there
Samsung GALAXY S III (S3), designed for humans, inspired by nature

 

[chay03]

Exactly.....Allshare Cast!
