Samsung Galaxy III with Jelly Bean

Samsung Telecommunications America will finally bring the latest Android version (4.1) aka Jelly Bean, to all Galaxy S III smartphones in the U.S. in the coming months.

The update will be made available both over the air and as a download via Kies, Samsung's content sync and software update solution. The specific timing and update method will be announced by each carrier partner, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular.

 Galaxy S III owners will receive the Jelly Bean update as well as a host of new and enhanced TouchWiz features, making it a faster, richer and more responsive device experience.

Samsung refined and enhanced the Galaxy S III experience by adding new capabilities to the camera, video and user interface, including:

Camera Enhancements; New live camera and camcorder filters offer a range of new ways to spark user’s creativity. Warm vintage, cold vintage, black and white, sepia, color highlights (blue, green, red/yellow), and many more will be selectable from the main camera screen.
 Pause and resume while recording video allows users to string together multiple captured video clips from a party, birthday or sporting event into a single file with no post editing required.
 The Galaxy S III's claims to have the best-in-class High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities and offers an optimized mode for low light and indoor photos.

Pop Up Play Update: Users can now easily resize or pause the Pop Up Play picture-in-picture video window, taking full advantage of the Galaxy S III's powerful processor and large 4.8-inch screen.

Easy Mode: Easy Mode is a simplified user experience option for first-time smartphone owners, providing large home screen widgets that focus on the device essentials. The Easy widgets include both 4x2 and 4x4 arrangements of favorite contacts, favorite apps, favorite settings, clock and alarm.

Blocking Mode: Galaxy S III owners can disable incoming calls, notifications, alarms and LED indicators for a designated period of time.

Improved Usability: Users now have multiple keyboard options with the addition of the Swype keyboard.


Google Now: Google Now gives users the right information at the right time, like how much traffic to expect before leaving work, when the next train is scheduled to arrive at the subway station or the score of a favorite team's current game – conveniently delivered as notifications. Additionally, Google Now provides powerful voice assistant functionality across a range of domains, including weather, maps, navigation, search, image search, flight status and more. Google Now can conveniently be launched from the lock screen shortcut or by a long press on the menu button from any screen.

Rich Notifications: Notifications can now expand and shrink with a pinch to show the right amount of information a user needs. Notifications have been enhanced so action can be taken without having to launch the app first – like sharing a screenshot directly from the notification.
 Automatic Widget Adjustment: Users can simply place a new icon or widget on the screen, and existing icons will move out of the way to make space. When widgets are too big, they automatically resize to fit on the screen.



The sports fan will find appreciate Samsung and ESPN’s collaboration to integrate AllShare technology into ESPN's popular ScoreCenter application. This means Galaxy S III owners will now be able to wirelessly push on-demand ESPN global sports coverage and highlights from the ESPN ScoreCenter app to their Samsung SMART TV. When on the same Wi-Fi network as a Samsung SMART TV, a sharing icon will appear within the ScoreCenter video player which allows users to seamlessly push what they are watching to the TV. The ScoreCenter app with AllShare integration is available today for download through S Suggest on all U.S. Galaxy S III devices.

Apple's Shares Are Approaching A Bottom Apple stock plunges 12% Apple stock slide on growth worries Can Apple’s Stock Recover Without Steve Jobs? This and similar headlines are screaming off our tablet and PC screens. The company, which has just reported the largest revenue per quarter, has seen its stock devalued over night, effectively whipping off $50 billion in market value! What is wrong with this picture? Before we attempt to answer this perplexing question let me remind you that Apple generated more revenue in one quarter than Google ( GOOG ) did in all of 2012 . As a matter of fact, Apple is getting close to generating as much revenue in one quarter as Microsoft ( MSFT ) does in an entire year. Even more daunting is the fact that Apple made over a billion dollars in profit a week for the first time ever. Profit is the money you get to keep. Or, to look at it another way, Apple generated as much profit in two weeks as Google did in their entire l...

One of the strategies one often finds on the net is to do a ‘video response’ which basically means trying to piggyback on someone’s successful video with a large audience.

There are just to many ‘ifs’ in this strategy to safely rely on it. Viral CAN be created, but it takes some se...
