Leaked pictures shown at the source seem to show that T-Mobile will not modify the GSIII when it comes to America. This is probably a smart move for the carrier because so many people want a phone that essentially functions the same as international models.

Twitter has been integrated, now it looks like Facebook will finally be integrated into iOS. I wonder if FB will make their app better on iOS.

Next generation devices may incorporate this tiny tiny [nano] sim card. Users who frequently swap sims will need to be incredibly careful not to lose this one.

Looks like we’re getting closer and closer to Windows 8 showing up in a new PC/Tablet.

Paul Miller deals with paper bills and phone trees.
And that brings me to the true bane of phone calls, and its primary metaphor shift: the lack of browser cookies. As I’m sure you know, any complicated phone-based maneuver will eventually result in a “that’s not my department, but if you’d like I can transfer you to…” This person, whose role seems infinitesimally granular, will indeed transfer you, but only to a brand new phone tree, where you have to start from zero with a whole new robot defense system. Before you’re finally connected to what is presumably the correct department, you have to identify yourself again with a long series of numbers: your Social Security number, your account number, your phone number, your zip code. You’re never greeted by name, only by a question: “Is this Paul Miller I’m speaking with?” Then you have to give another numeric identifier, even though you just touch-toned that number to a synthetic mere seconds ago.

Yet another perk for users of the Google Maps app on Android. You can now look up Zagat reviews and ratings directly within the app.

I haven’t been very impressed with a lot of products Dell has put out in recent years. This computer pretty much rips off Apple’s iMac design and it will probably be fairly successful. So if you’re in the market for the latest Intel chips and a Windows machine that looks like an iMac…this is the PC for you.

Unfortunately the United States is not one of them. If someone picks this up, please let me know how you like or dislike it.

Props to Nokia and Microsoft for getting an almost fully functional version of Windows Phone OS on a device with only 256mb ram. Major props to Rovio for working on an optimized version of Angry Birds to work on that device as well.
Can we get all apps optimized to use fewer system resources and ram?

Another prototype for sale on eBay. I probably wouldn’t like it if my iPad had dual dock connectors.

Facebook hiring former Apple engineers, hopes to release smartphone by next year, says NYT
According to the Times, Facebook employees, engineers, and others familiar with the matter say that the company has added to the group working on the project, codenamed “Buffy,” and that it has hired “more than half a dozen former Apple software and hardware engineers who worked on the iPhone, and one who worked on the iPad.”

New footage from within Foxconn’s factory about the iPhone assembly line.
Not sure what impact the additional money Apple/Foxconn will invest in improving the factories will be, but we never seem to catch even a glimpse of the alleged “shady” parts of the factory.
Note: the video is in Mandarin.

The crazy developers have done it again. They’ve managed to crack through the latest version of iOS for all iOS 5.1.1 compatible devices. Ready to get your jailbreak on?

Samsung stops teasing and finally delivers its flagship Android device for 2012 — can the Galaxy S III live up to its mighty promise?
This is a very comprehensive review of what has turned out to be another great device put out by Samsung. Overall I think owners of this phone may only complain about how cheap it looks and feels. It’s probably worth your time and money to check out both the Galaxy S III and the HTC One X before making your next large smartphone purchase.
