Samsung Galaxy S III comes beginning for some

Samsung’s Galaxy S III is not predicted to begin to show up with willing new customers until almost through next weeks time at the first, but it looks like some suppliers have hopped the gun. A SlashGear audience in Japan handled to catch not one but two Galaxy S III mobile phones, and distributed a few images of his new toys and games that he took using the Samsung’s 8-megapixel photographic camera itself.

As guaranteed, part of the Galaxy S III installation process contains getting a Dropbox account with a substantial slice of no cost storage: 48GB no cost, on top of the 2GB the reasoning store service contains as conventional. That is incorporated through Samsung’s personalized Ice Lotion Food develop, though as opposed to the Galaxy Nexus the Galaxy S III does have a microSD card position for including extra local storage space.

Announced at the top end of the 30 days, the Galaxy S III has already seen pre-orders calculating in the “thousands” according to New Samsung. Sales will begin in European countries first, with the US gadgets – operating a Qualcomm dual-core processor with LTE rather than the Exynos quadcore combined with the HSPA+ editions – predicted to fall over summer time season.

Best Buy Canada release of the Galaxy S III

Jitters have persisted that the Canadian release of the Galaxy S III might face the customary weeks-long delays that those north of the border are used to. If we go by what looks to be an escaped Best Buy Canada flyer graphic, Samsung's Android 4.0 beast should be going up for pre-orders soon - MobileSyrup hears May 30th - with launches on at least Bell, Rogers, Telus and a Bell-owned Virgin Mobile around June 20th. We know that Samsung has publicly promised a US release in June, so there's a real chance that we could be seeing a simultaneous North American appearance that brings everyone together in TouchWiz harmony. 

There's still some big questions left open even if we're seeing an accurate snapshot, such as when Mobilicity, Wind and other LTE-less carriers will get their units as well as whether or not the LTE versions use Snapdragons instead of the Exynos 4 Quad.

Look Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

When Samsung announced that some of their devices will not be getting the much awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, they announced that those devices will instead be getting a “Value Pack” upgrade instead. The “Value Pack” upgrade will bring owners of the devices some features of Android 4.0 while not actually being a full Android 4.0 update but we guess something is better than nothing, right? Not to mention with the strong Android community out there, it shouldn’t be too hard to find Android 4.0 ROMs for the affected devices.

In any case one of Samsung’s tablets that will not receive the Android 3.2 or Android 4.0 update is the original 7” Galaxy Tab. The tablet is currently running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the Value Pack is expected to bring features such as Face Unlock, a Photo Editor app along with the ability to snap photos while recording video. At the moment the Value Pack upgrade is headed for Galaxy Tab devices in Korea but we expect the international version to be made available soon.

Samsung Canada has finished porting Ice Cream Sandwich to a whole bunch of devices, which in Samsung press release parlance means they are "eligible" for an upgrade. Does that mean you can hit that "update" button today and start downloading ICS? Well, that's complicated.

First though, the list of devices:

1. GALAXY S II
2. GALAXY S II LTE
3. GALAXY S II LTE HD
4. GALAXY S II X
5. GALAXY Note
6. GALAXY Tab 7.0
7. GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
8. GALAXY Tab 8.9
9. GALAXY Tab 10.1

Now, for the caveats: Sammy says "The upgrade will be available today on select devices in Canada and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter." and "The availability of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers' requirements.

It seems that Samsung Electronics is partnering up with Kia Motors to equip the new vehicle K9 with the Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1. The two companies intend to provide a special edition of the Tab for those that pre-order the soon to be released K9 sedan by June.

Essentially, the Tab will play a role that allows it to be used as a quick guide to the vehicle’s functions and, presumably, will integrate into features such as the multimedia component of the new vehicle model. This synergy between mobile devices, like the tab, and today’s automobiles is clearly just the beginning of a wider trend. It is only a matter of time before every car that comes out has extended features and guides provided through syncing up your favorite tablet device, I’d wager. This joint synergy between smart cars and smart devices like tablets will likely also bleed into improved interfaces in the car of the future. It’s interesting to see Samsung and Kia working together, and I’m sure this is just the beginning of big things to come.
