[Update: The event is over, stay tuned for more coverage on the Samsung Galaxy S III]
Get ready folks! Refresh for updates!
We’re only a couple hours away from getting the real scoop on the “Next Galaxy” from Samsung. We’ve endured countless rumors, leaks, and shameless fakes, but now it’s time to set the record straight and see just what Samsung has to unpack at this year’s London event. We’re all expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy S III and when it’s finally unveiled I’m betting it will be the must-have device of 2012.
Back in March, Amazon offered up certified refurbished Amazon Kindle Fires for an amazing $139. It was only a 24-hour deal but sold out in half the time. Well, the deal is back, and yes, it’s another 24-hour deal. It’s already about half-way through the deal but they still appear in stock so you might want to take this opportunity to pick up a nice little tablet for cheap.
It appears some Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners are being treated to an Android 4.0.4 IMM76K update today. While there’s been no official announcement of the update, it is indeed rolling out as Droid-Life users have been sending in screenshots to back up their claims (even a Verizon store unit was spotted rocking the update). I’ve been checking all day but to no avail.
According to the latest report from the International Data Corporation, Samsung has ousted both Apple and Nokia to aquire the top spot in both smartphone and total mobile phone shipments for the first quarter of 2012. This marks the first time since the inception of IDC’s Mobile Phone Tracker that Nokia did not lead the global market in total mobile phone shipments. That’s quite a testament to Samsung’s tremendous growth over the past year, which according to the IDC, was nearly triple in the smartphone category.
