The highly anticipated next generation Galaxy S series is going to be officially announced on May 3rd. It was voted on "Mobilesyrup" that this device is the most anticipated device of 2012.
This device is rumoured to have a 4.6inch display, Quad core processor with 1.5ghz, 8MP camera, NFC, and LTE. It is also rumoured to be around 7mm thin, considering how the S2 was around 8mm thin this is a considerable cut in size. The device is also supposed to be battery efficient, increasing the overall battery life despite the increase in specifications.
One thing that is very blurry is the design that this new device is going to have. Would it be similar to the Galaxy S2? Some says that samsung may even incorporate their "flexible display" technology to the new Galaxy making the device "unbreakable" However, there are other speculations that the device is going to have a "Ceramic" back cover that would make it very "breakable"

There are stores in Korea that doesn't hold physical items on shelves; they are the virtual stores.
Virtual stores uses QR codes and Bar codes that can be scanned with your smartphones. People can use their smartphones to scan these codes and have the items delivered to their homes. Considering how fast the delivery services are in Asia, this is a good way to get people use online shopping in an another unique way.This is supposed to reduce the amount of time spent on the line and reduce customer dissatisfaction.
Even Canada, Toronto has gotten a virtual store recently. It is known to be located in Front and Bay street and has some products for customers to purchase. Virtual stores are supposed to reduce the risk of theft and costs associated with hiring clerks to stock the items.
Despite the positive aspects of this innovative idea, it would be better to see one day these virtual stores having physical items in the back with employees checking the items being purchased by the consumers in the store and have the items all packaged and ready to go by the time customers get to the counter to check out.

This is the new iPhone 5 concept design.
It looks pretty good to me, kind of like the Apple's unique mouse.

The successor to the Samsung Galaxy series, Samsung Galaxy S3 is presumed to be released as early as May of 2012.
Rumours have it that the device is supposed to be 7 mm thin, slimmer than the Galaxy S2 (8.49mm).
The rumoured specs are: quad core processor, Android OS 4.0 (Icecream sandwich), 8MP camera, 2MP front facing camera, and a Super AMOLED Plus (HD) display.
It has been speculated that Samsung has already made this device. However, the only reason why they are prolonging their launch is due to the upcoming iPhone 5, which is presumed to be launching around June of 2012. Samsung wants to see what kind of specs that iPhone 5 will have and possibly beat the competition in terms of the speed and other hardware specifics. Samsung also reports strong sales with their current Galaxy S/S2 devices and believes it isn't necessary for the company to release a new model, when the current model reports good sales.
It seems like this summer is going to be an interesting one with the release of two of the most loved smartphones out in the market (iPhone and Galaxy). Personally for me, I'll be anticipating this summer due to the end of my cellphone contract. We'll see which is the better phone this year.
