I am watching the broadcast right now. So far, not much "Wow". I lot of tech speak of how great things are but not sure that anything works. For example, that pick the best picture feature picked the picture of the gal with her head cocked and not smiling. What a feature!

Can anyone tell why they would want the S3 over the iPhone?

Their "One More Thing" was "One more Surprise" was something called "PINS" ? that I guess are local retail shops that they are going to open up. Yawn.

My biggest complaint about the iPhone is screen size.

Then buy yourself and iPad ;-)

I like the size of the iPhone just as it is. If they can increase the size of the screen by filling out the real estate and keep the same size, I am all for it. But, I have also had my iPhone 4S next to a larger screen Android phone while having coffee with friends. The friend with the Android phone ended putting his back in his pocket since, larger screen and all, it just didn't measure up.

One more thought on size. As has been discussed, I like that I can do almost everything on my phone with one hand. As the phone and screen get larger, this becomes more difficult.

I own an iPad, but I'd rather not have to lug that around to be able to get a better browsing experience.

To each his own, but personally Siri would cover many of the instances where I need to use the handset one-handed and the larger screen would provide quite a few real world benefits.

You're kidding, Slacker:

That's a really good complaint - or is it? I believe the iPhone screen while smaller is sharper. And, oh, how about the software, it's duller compared to the iPhone. td

When the iPhone 4 came out, the difference in resolutions was dramatic. That really isnt the case anymore. I would much rather have a 4.3" screen with a 250ppi than a 3.5" screen with a 320ppi.

And, oh, how about the software, it's duller compared to the iPhone.

That is definitely true for the apps. On the OS side, I personally think that iOS has become a bit stale. It probably doesnt matter since apps are more important, but I would definitely be happy if Apple did something more innovative with the underlying OS.

Kelly asked why anybody would pick the SG3 over the 4GS. Since Samsung is going to sell 10's of millions of units, I am guessing that they arent all buying it just because they hate Apple.

Not too excited about any of the software innovations on the S3, but in the US, one of the major selling points will be LTE, I imagine. Not sure that the S3 has a material advantage over the HTC 1X though, besides the strengthening Samsung branding (they are both on AT&T, feature big screens with LTE, Android 4.xxx, etc).

Assuming iPhone 5 arrives in October, how much exposure did Samsung have to iPhone 5 features?

I am totally puzzled about how this "sleeping with the enemy" relationship works.

Patents alone are not going to stop competitors

The new strategy is:

Steal the idea now and fight it in courts later

Facebook sets $28 to $35 price range for IPO

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook has set a price range of $28 to $35 for its initial public offering of stock.

At the high end, this could raise as much as $11.8 billion. If the underwriters sell the extra stock reserved for overallotments,
the IPO will value Facebook at $79.3 billion at the high end of the price range.

That's much higher than any other Internet IPO in the past, even Google Inc. in 2004.

The range came in a regulatory filing Thursday.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Thursday that the price range would value Facebook Inc. at $85 billion to $95 billion.
