We've seen a lot of photos purporting to depict Samsung's hotly-anticipated Galaxy S III device, and while some of them have raised eyebrows throughout the tech community, most have been less than convincing.
The benefits of rooting have been discussed many times, and for many, it's one of the main attractions to purchasing an Android-based device. The amount of fun that can be had with a rooted device is almost limitless, and, since there are so many developers catering to the plethora of devices available on the market, there are always new ones adding to the list.
A short while ago, we covered the steps for those looking to install Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich on their UK and Australia Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 devices. Well now, we're also going to describe how you can quickly root your device with its updated software. More details after the jump!
Having only seen the light of day through the Galaxy Nexus initially, Google's release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich was beginning to become an easy target of flak from the tech world. The Big G's latest - and supposedly greatest - mobile OS had only reached a miserly 1% of the total Android population at the turn of the year, and rivals Apple must have been chuckling at Google's abject display in how not to announce and release a firmware update.
While Google and Apple are two closely-contested companies when it comes to mobile innovation, the Tim Cook's fruit company is inarguably in charge when it comes to digital music sales.
While the HTC One X boasts a pretty impressive camera, not every shot is perfection. Given the optimum lighting conditions and angle, the snapper can take some crystal-clear stills and videos, but, in many cases, it delivers pretty average photos.
As of late, cloud storage services have been gaining significantly in popularity. Both Microsoft and Apple are involved in the space in some form, on top of highly successful startups entirely dedicated to providing such services (i.e. Dropbox). Thus, it only makes sense that Google would want a piece of the action as well. Since 2010, there have been murmurs that Google was planning to launch a cloud storage service, and, more recently, it was revealed on good authority that such a service was certainly in the pipeline, and that it is going to be called Google Drive.
After months of speculation as to when Samsung would unveil its much sought-after Galaxy S III smartphone, press invites have now been sent out for the May 3 event in London, UK. In an overt attempt to draw additional interest (if it was ever required), the device isn't explicitly named for the ceremony referred to as "Samsung Mobile Unpacked" in which those invited can "Come and meet the next Galaxy."
If you're in ownership of an HTC One S, you'll probably be pleased to learn that it's been rooted courtesy of - as usual - XDA developers, or, more specifically, forum member paulobrien.
With the anticipation for Samsung's Galaxy S III reaching fever pitch, the predictable influx of supposed leaks is in full swing. Following on from Samsung's immensely-popular Galaxy S II, the expectation of the device cannot be underestimated. We've sifted through quite a few images purporting to depict the next best Android device - some which do look plausible, while others fail to convince.
