Apple and Samsung have been at each other's throats for a good couple of years now, and the ill-feeling stems - for the most part - from Apple's firm belief that it's Korean rival has been plagiarizing its designs and passing them off as their own.
From a software perspective, the most sought feature of the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S III is undoubtedly the S Voice feature, which is a similar implementation to Apple's Siri voice assistant, which launched along with iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S back in October. That's not the only new feature on the S III's list of exclusives, and thankfully for those not planning to invest in the yet-to-be-released, uber powerful device, the Android community is frantically trying to extract the goodies from the ROM leaked earlier this week, and so far, it has been a pretty fruitful venture.
While Samsung's yet-to-be-released Galaxy S III device has divided the opinions of the tech world, from a software point of view, it boasts a fair amount of exclusives - many of which users of other Android devices are dying to get their hands on.
The latest leg in the long running, never ending and exceedingly tiresome legal battle between Apple and Samsung sees the Cupertino firm once again seeking an injunction against the Korean firm's Galaxy Tab slate.
More details have now emerged regarding Samsung's latest Galaxy S III device; notably when it will release, and how much it'll cost. Given that it is - without doubt - one of the most eagerly-awaited Android releases this year, those waiting to get their hands on it will be pleased to learn that it will release in just over two weeks' time, on June 1st, and cost $799 unsubsidized.
The constant squabbles and patent-based conflict between Apple and Samsung is a well-documented debacle, and while both companies have agreed to drop several claims each, Apple does feel as though Samsung's recent rise as the number one smartphone vendor is mainly due to plagiarism of its products.
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 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.
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.
