Source of Rumors for Potential S2 Variants?

[Jimmy Bernstein]

Looking at the S3, I'm guessing Samsung will come out with a S2 sized watch with some of the new enhancements (while leaving out GPS and barometer and huge battery, etc. that increase size of watch.) Anyway I'm hoping....
Is there a website that's been reliable for this sort of rumor?

They are updating the S2 software to have the non-hardware S3 features. Samsung indicated this at the S3 unveiling. The S2 is sticking around instead of being upgraded.

MST is a key feature they can't be add through software. I'm guessing it'll be added in an upgrade eventually.

Guessing based on what inside information? Do you work for Samsung?

I did say the S2 will be updated to have all "NON-HARDWARE" S3 features. If you want the S3 hardware features, you need to buy the S3.

Samsung clearly said they aren't discontinuing the S2. If you want the MST, LTE, bigger screen, or other hardware upgrades the S3 offers, you need to buy the S3. If you don't require those features, the S2 will still be offered as a more cost effective option.

THERE WILL BE NO UPGRADE TO THE S2 AS IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SOLD IN IT'S CURRENT FORM.
