Remember that impressive Liquipel waterproof coating for smartphones and mobile devices that was being shown off at CES? Well, according to a previously reliable source, it’ll soon be a feature present on Apple’s long-awaited iPhone 5, and Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S III.

If you were hoping to get a look at the Galaxy S II successor this month at MWC, grab yourself a Kleenex because it’s not going to happen. Samsung has confirmed that they will not be unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S III at MWC in Barcelona, but will instead be launching it at a separate Samsung event to be scheduled later this year. Some reports are saying we’ll see it before the summer, but at this point, who knows.

Samsung continues with their ad campaign of portraying the competition as feeble cattle being led to slaughter. I’m starting to think they’re over-hyping this a bit, but considering they purchased a multi-million dollar 90 second spot during the Super Bowl, I’d say they can do pretty much anything they want (wish I had that kind of cash to blow).

It’s really a shame that it took this long for the Samsung Infuse 4G to get an update to Gingerbread. At this point, I’m not sure whether customers will feel relieved, or like they’re the brunt of a cruel joke. No one likes to get updated to a year old software version when a newer one is already out and this has been the thorn in Samsung’s side for quite some time. To make matters worse, AT&T is making users download the latest version of Samsung’s Kies Mini to sideload (which is ironic, since AT&T was once against side-loading) Android 2.3.6 onto their device rather than push the update out OTA. Well, at least Gingerbread is now available, and here’s what you’ll get with the update:

It looks like the US will soon have its hands on Samsung’s illustrious 5.3″ phonetablet. Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Note will hit AT&T February 19, with pre-orders starting February 5th. The Galaxy Note will run you $299 on contract and will be available in carbon blue and ceramic white.
