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.

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 story that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was planning to take his place in-line and buy a Nokia Lumia 900 was a great one for headline writers. What better than a co-founder of the company behind the iPhone queuing up to buy one of the competition? Well, how about the man himself waxing lyrical about said competition?
A new Android app promises to bring a little bit of Ice Cream Sandwich to those not actually using the latest version of Android. By bringing the Android 4.0 version of the Gallery app to all smartphones, the app offers a chink of light for those who may never get Android 4.0 on their own handsets.
A new iPhone bumper takes our love of all things 8-bit and shoehorns it into an iPhone bumper that is sure to appeal to anyone who was around in the eighties and nineties.
Didn't manage to snag tickets to WWDC 2012? Fear not, for one group of plucky people is putting on a WWDC clone. Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference is the biggest thing on a developer's calendar. Offering workshops on all things Mac and iOS, the get-together is more than just an excuse to meet up with all your developer friends and have a few drinks, although that is one of the added bonuses.
