Anyone watching the keynote from Google I/O??
Jelly bean is A LOT more than a few bug fixes, increased speed and fluidity and a ton of features.
Nexus Q looks great!!!
Nexus 7 is fantastic!!!! I must have one! Now!!!!
The google glass demonstration was the best piece of PR I have ever seen, well played Google, well played......
Any thoughts from the community?
Hopefully the S3 sees JB soon as this hardware deserves the best software.
They said they sent out the PDK to oems and hardware partners a few weeks ago so maybe Sammy are already working on it! Fingers crossed!!!!

I wonder about glass though. It's quite terminatoresque for private use. For business and educational use it's great.
At 1500 dollars I wouldn't buy it but if they gave one away free to everyone I'd be jealous!
I reckon its the future though.

Google wants to follow us during travel. Wants us to upload our pictures... I used face recognition today on the s3. Although I am really excited about all the uses I can also imagine things going horribly wrong.
Glass can and will become dirt cheap. 1500 now for a Bluetooth camera? I think not.
The nexus 7 was the real star of the show for me, 1.3ghz quad tegra 3 with 12 core gpu. Wow.
I must have one.
And ya the whole glass thing is very big brother.
They know everything you do....

Let's hope Samsung will push jelly bean ota soon.
Congrats all developers getting nexus devices.

Im not expecting JB on the S3 until the end of the year, any sooner will be a bonus. You dont buy an extensively customised flagship phone and expect a super fast update, SO much needs updating for JB, it will take a while.
As iphone 5 arrives so will jb
google has done some great work especially with project butter and project glass
I really want a pure Google phone.. In don't know why I keep buying these themed phones lol

Ya I'm glad I kept my galaxy nexus so I can get a bit of jelly bean come mid July!

It does worry me how Google keep a tab on everything but that's why I purposely disable location/stat services and whatever else I can. Heck I don't even keep my you tube logged in nor do I use it on my mobile.
But I'm paranoid.
On weekends you will find me on my roof smoking whilst wearing a tin foil hat. Dat der Google watching me.
The greatest battle has begun

Apple are charging an extra 100 bucks to have a stupid mainstream Apple on the back of the device. Why would i by an iPhone 4 when i could spend my money and buy an Android device with a quadcore and still have Money left to go out and get pi ssed for the month.
Android all the way. And every iPhone user just has it because of the supposed status of the device. Well I say screw that ill keep my android devices any day of the week over a stupid iPhone that only has 12 months of support
Again a fail apple. You are by law required to provide 24 months of support in the EU so no thanks

All digital!!!
The connector is all digital... what does it even mean... LOL
Great promo.
The Apple fans were bemoaning how this insults Apple fans...
The thing is - at no point in the ad does it mention Apple, or iPhones or anything.
We all know who they're talking about because the stereotype... isn't really a stereotype.
So, the question is - unless you're proud about sitting in line for days, waiting for features the rest of us already have, having to deal with new connectors and so on... why complain?

Yeah, the big scandal. The iphone 4 antenna problems were solved in the 4S. I would generally be in the list of new icrap releases, but seriously I got tired of waiting on Apple to come up with something innovative. The only reason I continued using an iphone is because I spent hard earned money on many many apps and there is data I had concerns that would not be transferable: contacts, password list, repairs history on my motorcycle and vehicle, etc. But enough is enough, I'll be trying to get an Samsung Note 2 next month, and there will lots of manual input.
Maybe thats one of the reasons so many people keep buying iStuff. That doesn't justify people camping out outside a store tho....

It's hard to innovate when all you do is buy and patent other people's inventions. It's gotten to the point of ridiculousness now.
I love this video, I used to work at AT&T and would get calls all the time about when the iPhone was going to get MMS. The first time i got that call i went through troubleshooting because I refused to believe a phone that expensive didn't have MMS.
All of the sudden i felt a lot better about my Candy Bar symbian phone.

If the headphone really is at the bottom they may have violated some of Samsung's patents. The galaxy nexus has the headphone jack at the bottom.

Going to get my new phone in the AM, and I have a dilemma..
My wife is getting the SIII..that's a known factor.
I however am torn between SIII and NoteII...main problem being they aren't carrying any NoteII's at Radioshack right now, have to order them, and no telling how long it will be until it comes in (maybe by monday, maybe later).
Should I go ahead and get the SIII or wait for the NoteII? Anyone have any ideas on how the development community is going on these devices? From my eyes they look about the same...but honestly haven't had the time to do an in-depth research for it..
Your opinions would be appreciated.
I'm almost in tha same boat as you but mine is Note 2 now or wait for the S4. If I had to choose between those two i would go S3 from what I kno a lot of the devs from this went to that phone so it would be familiar names there and I'm sure the community is bigger but I haven't look to much into myself jus an opinion

I know xboxfanj went to the Optimus G. But most of the other devs went to the S3

Note 2! it will change your LIFE!
Well wouldn't you know it, I went to upgrade on the 23rd, and the Note II promotion had ended on the 22nd...jumped from $199 to $299...so had to opt for the SIII I wish I had been able to catch that promotion, but the SIII is pretty amazing, and my GOD the number of ROMs to try out are just mind-blowing, I think I'm on my 6th or 7th right now, and still have another 4 to test..development over there is crazy!

Probably wait. Then decide between the s4 and HTC one. They're so close now that it's dumb to buy something older.

Ahem (just bought the SIII)...
No seriously, I bought the Epic when it was old (actually paid more for it than I did the SIII), and had it until, well, last thrusday...I bought the Asus TF101 right after the Prime launched...I don't like buying 'new' hardware, you never know what kind of bugs are going to be discovered for it. And the SIII launched last May, still quite new, at least to me
In the case of the Prime, it was a disaster and was quickly reissued as the TF700T and phased out..and my TF101 is still kicking hard..
Also, I am not a dev, so I'd rather buy a device that has a dev community already well-established. Something to consider, how long do you want to wait until someone discovers a root exploit and gets a good ROM on your device, unlocks the hotspot, and OH CRAP here's an OTA that bricks your device at worst or at best breaks root and you have to wait again to get root established before development can resume..
On the other hand, all your friends will think you are cool for the first month when you have a brand new, just-launched device that no one else has...I don't have many friends, so I go for the tried-and-true. Not the shiny-and-new.
I bought the Note 2 and returned it after a week. Happily back on my Epic now. lol

Get the Optimus G, best phone I've owned to date and has better specs than both the SIII and the Note II. At a glance you may say I'm wrong but do some in depth research and watch reviews on each phone and you'll agree with me.

One answer to you Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, до свидания, Arrivederci - don't let the doors hit you on your back
Who said about any problems with Touchwizard, it's only release schedule, new Android for Note 2 will be released about 2 months after Note 3 premiere. And will most probably be 4.3 and not 4.2.2.

While we are here let's put even more metaphorical wood to the proverbial fire ... even the Galaxy Tab 2 is now getting android 4.2.2.
This is so going to anger people more for no good reason. ( rub hands and smile in an evil way ... )
So much hate for the only other manufacturer that actually does update their hardware for a decent number of Android versions if you exclude the Nexus devices.
Sure they are slow but come on what if you bought an LG or HTC , you would be lucky if your device got a single version upgrade.
we samsung customers are lucky enough compared to other brands that rarely provide updates to their phones. don't worry I'm pretty sure we'll get one sooner or later. if not I'll be selling this and my S4 and get a new one that deserves a love. nevertheless i love this note2. and my S4 but i love this note more

LOL precisely. Go on and get a Nexus FFS. I'm just waiting 4.2.2/4.3 for touchwiz features. Otherwise I might as well flash Cyanogenmod and get it over with meh. All the incessant whining here is just getting annoying. As if lot of other carriers are rolling out updates readily for their older (relatively) flagships.
Thread closed as is frankly useless.
