As soon as a new device hits the scene – particularly one which boasts high specs from every direction – it’s always interesting to see, in terms of performance, whether said device lives up to its billing.

Thousands flocked to London’s Earls Court last night to see Samsung executives unveil their latest Galaxy S III smartphone to the gadget loving world. Its a no-brainer that many more thousands around the world were following the announcements very closely to see just exactly what the latest Samsung device will bring to the market, but if you happened to miss the whole event, then you can catch up on the entire event on video right now.

After months of speculation, guesswork and supposedly leaked photos, the Samsung Galaxy S III is now 100% real. Samsung’s great and good took to the stage in London to announce the latest in the line of Galaxy S smartphones, powered by Android, along with UK TV presenter Suzi Perry. The result was the revealing of a smartphone that Samsung claims is the biggest announcement of the year. A bold claim, we are sure you will agree.

With Samsung having only just announced the juicy details of its Samsung Galaxy S III, it arguably takes pride of place as the poster child of Android (sorry, HTC One X), thus instantly drawing comparisons with the flagship devices of the two other major mobile ecosystems.

Samsung’s announcement of the Galaxy S III today has come after weeks, nay, months of speculation about what the hardware will look like from top to bottom. What size screen will it use, how big will the body be, and what cameras will it pack? Now all those questions have been answered, we are left with something possibly even more interesting than all of that – the software.

After months of rumor and speculation, Samsung’s brand-new Galaxy S device has finally been showcased to the world via London, and yes, it is called the Samsung Galaxy S III.

On the day of what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest Android announcements of the year with the Samsung Galaxy S III, it could turn out to be a bittersweet day for Google, as it has been issued yet another reminder of the increasing number of malware plaguing its mobile OS.

We’re drawing dangerously close to Samsung’s announcement of its next Galaxy S device, and to its credit, the Korean outfit seems to have done a pretty stellar job of keeping things under wraps.

It’s been a while since we had a good old fashioned battle of the mobile operating systems, or more specifically an iOS versus Android head-to-head. The world’s two most popular mobile offerings have both steeped themselves in glory and shame in the past, but a new report seems to show that iOS is leading the way when it comes to gaming revenues.

That big anti-Apple advertising campaign that has been going on in Australia we were telling you about the other day? You know, the one that Samsung was quick to deny was its own doing? The same one that Macworld began pointing fingers at RIM about? Turns out it was the Canadian BlackBerry maker all along.

The HTC One X is an out and out powerhouse, and with a Tegra 3 quad-core processor as well as a beautiful, svelte design, it’s unsurprisingly one of the top choices among Android users.

With the announcement of its next Galaxy S device just around the corner, it’s now become official record that Samsung has trumped fierce rival Apple to claim number one spot in terms of smartphone market share.

Those in any way affiliated with the tech industry will know of Microsoft’s plans to release Windows 8 to the consumer pretty soon, and from what’s been showcased hitherto, most have been impressed. While the latest iteration of the software maker’s operating system has many strengths over preceding versions, the Metro user-interface has been the most celebrated by consumers, and although perhaps better suited to the tablet, it’s been running nicely on the PCs of those running the Consumer Preview.

The much vaunted Google Glass project took a bow in its first television appearance recently, with the internet connected spectacles accompanying a Google employee to an interview.

While some Android devices are rooted relatively quickly by those in the know within the modding and development community, some smartphones and tablets can take what seems like an age.

A new photograph of what appears to be the unannounced Samsung Galaxy S III has shown up, giving all of us impatiently waiting for Samsung’s July announcement in London, something to keep us going for a while.

We find this very difficult to believe, and very easy to believe in equal measures, so let’s just get this out of the way and see what everyone else thinks. With Samsung’s focus very much on the Galaxy S III these days, it is full steam ahead for the company’s various P.R. departments, and it is one of those departments which is being accused of putting together a rather elaborate advertising campaign.

It has been a day or so since the smartphone loving world was treated to any gossip surrounding Samsung’s latest addition to the Galaxy range of devices, the Galaxy S III. The much anticipated device has so far managed to surround itself with growing mystery, leaving Samsung and Android fans chomping at the bit to get their hands on it.

While the announcement for the next Galaxy smartphone – informally referred to as the Galaxy S III – isn’t due until May 3rd as we’ve previously reported, Samsung has already dropped some news regarding the processor that will power the upcoming flagship Android smartphone. By the looks of things, this processor definitely seems to be worth getting your Android-mascot branded mascot in a twist over. It’s called the Exynos 4 Quad, is clocked at 1.4GHz, and is based on the ARM Cortex A9 mobile processor. This processor seems to be quite inline with some earlier rumors, apart from the branding; rumors suggested that the upcoming quad-core CPU will sport the Exynos 5 branding.

The current spat between Google and Oracle has already thrown up one or two interesting tidbits, and we are all beginning to get a little insight into both the early days of Android and indeed the process which was followed in order to bring it to market. Just how Google sees Android within its larger business model has also been under scrutiny of late, with its profitability coming into question.
