Despite maintaining its place as the world's favorite social network, the title hasn't exemplified Facebook from bearing the brunt of the complaints of the day-to-day e-socialite. The official Facebook app is often subject to a public flogging with each update - no matter which platform said update has been released on - and with Mark Zuckerberg's sociable service frequently forcing major changes upon fickle consumers, it's unsurprising that many of the newer features are not to everybody's liking.
There's definitely a perverse pleasure in seeing expensive, pristine gadgets being blown up, shot at, and generally defaced for no reason other than pure entertainment.
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.
So, for those of you who eagerly anticipated the Samsung Galaxy S III, here's another tidbit of news to be excited about: Flipboard, the highly popular social magazine app that's currently iOS-only will be making its debut to the Android platform exclusively on the Samsung Galaxy S III. Samsung will have exclusivity to the app for quite some time, meaning that it will be a bit of a wait before we can expect the app to hit the Play store or other Android handsets.
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.
Facebook's eye-watering $1 billion acquisition of Instagram last month shocked many, but certainly outlined its intentions to reign supreme in the increasingly popular socio-image market.
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 no big secret that cases of Android malware have been sharply on the rise, and as such, there are now various counter apps from security firms, all purporting to offer the best possible protection.
