The eyes of the smartphone adoring world may all be focusing on Samsung's new and shiny Galaxy S III handset, but that hasn't stopped the original Galaxy S model and its successor the S II flying off the shelves quietly in the background. There is no doubt that the Galaxy S III will prove to be an extremely popular device, it has even knocked the iPhone 4S off the most popular spot in Britain only two days after being launched, but the figures released by Samsung show that their earlier models are also producing good numbers.

The Android home screen and whether you love or hate it will depend on a few things. Firstly, there is the device you have chosen because, let's be honest, manufacturers and carriers tend to try and put their own slant on the device and the home screen is a great place for them to do it. Or at least, that's what they believe.
When it comes to the purchase of devices like smartphones and other consumer tech gadgets, consumers tend to to make impulse purchases based on things like aesthetics and word of mouth rather than actually looking into what has been deemed the best by various surveys and opinion polls. When it comes to customer satisfaction, it has been revealed that Windows Phone powered devices are the best devices to get your hands on.
The ever popular Flipboard has finally seen an Android app break out of the company, but as many will know, as yet it is an exclusive piece of software for the Samsung Galaxy S III. By all accounts, and according to those who gave the app a whirl at the aforementioned phone's unveiling, the app itself is pretty great. But what about everyone who isn't rushing out to pick up Samsung's shiny new smartphone?
Today's tech news will be largely dominated by Android, and given the successor to the biggest selling Android device to date is launching across much of Europe and the Middle East, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. In conjunction with the big launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III, the Korean LCD specialist is also (re)introducing its Music Hub app, which has been massively revamped in order to be taken seriously as a competitor to the popular services like iTunes and Spotify.
After the announcement by Samsung of its eagerly-awaited Galaxy S III back on the fifth of this month, consumers have had to remain content with video reviews and hands on previews in order to catch a glimpse of the device. The wait for the release is finally over, though, and the grand launch is today taking place across 28 different countries.
Whilst sharing files between Android devices is nowhere near as tedious as Apple appears to be making it for iOS users, that doesn't mean to say apps facilitating and promoting file sharing between smartphones and tablets are not welcome. Despite the stance of the vendors, consumers love apps which aid easy miscellaneous file transfer between devices, and AnySend is a wonderful example of how such a utility should look, behave and perform.
When it comes to the world of consumer and online technology, we are pretty much at the point where nothing should shock us, especially when it comes to Facebook, the world’s largest social network. With the acquisition of the mobile app Instagram for a cool $1 billion in cash plus stock deal, and now with the re-emergence of rumors that they are designing their own smartphone, it seems like anything is possible.
Most of you will have been in a situation whereby you're on a desktop or notebook, and after a while, realize you've missed a couple of notifications from your smartphone. Whether you're just browsing the web due to boredom or working hard researching on a college assignment, it's one of the few occasions where the reliability on a portable device is somewhat minimized.
When it comes down to choosing between an iOS-powered device or one that runs on top of the Android, the bottom line is that there isn't a great deal of difference. It generally comes down to personal preference rather than any lack of functionality on one platform, and in some instances it may even come down to small little details like the amount of, or quality of accessories available for one platform that isn't available on the other.
