Samsung to announce something “revolutionary” this Sunday

Catching the Super Bowl on TV this Sunday? If you are, you might catch a glimpse of what Samsung has to offer. According to a tweet from the official Samsung account, they will be launching “a device so revolutionary only an ad in America’s biggest game can do it justice.” Other than that we’ve got no clues about what Samsung is talking about but judging by the language used, it could very well be the Galaxy Note – after all it is “revolutionary” (phone-tablet hybrid) and “biggest” could refer to the screen size. But with the device already announced for the rest of the world last year and the press release issued by AT&T yesterday, fingers crossed for Samsung referring to something else. Perhaps the Galaxy S3? Stay tuned.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Galaxy Note: The Samsung Galaxy Note was introduced by Samsung during IFA 2011 in Berlin. It was the first smartphone to break the 5" display size barrier with an 5.3" 720p Super-AMOLED display. The international (non-US) version was powered by a Samsung Samsung Exynos 4210, while the U.S version used a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255T. In terms of storage, the Galaxy Note came with 16GB or 32GB of internal flash memory, which could be supplemented with a microSD card. The battery has a capacity of 2500mAh, which was nice at the time, but has been surpassed since by the Galaxy Note 2, which has a 3100mAh battery.

It weighs 133g and measures 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm. Full Galaxy S3 Review

Samsung: Samsung is a South-Korean conglomerate which counts many subsidiaries like Samsung Electronics, which you probably know very well, but also Samsung Heavy Industries which builds ships, or Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Securities and many more. Samsung is responsible for an amazing 20% of South Korea's exports. In the consumer electronics world, Samsung has gone from being a company with a reputation for cheap products to becoming one of the most respected companies in the world.
