Samsung ICS Event

[AgnesIO]

So the Samsung ICS event will happen today/tomorrow (depending on location) - I think it is in Hong Kong?

The highly anticipated Samsung Nexus Prime (the next "Google" phone) is expected/will be announced at this event.

10:30am HKT (tomorrow)
10:30pm - some place in America time Might be Central.. (today)
4:30am UK time (tomorrow)

Annoyingly going to be in bed, but something to read about on the train tomorrow.. :L

Will be in bed but will catch up reading a number of tech websites. In relation to Samsung: I think they really need to sort themselves out though with this whole "copying Apple" business. I'm sure there is a new article each week that they have ****** up by doing mistakes like the following: Samsung uses iOS image to promote Galaxy Player 5.0 (Latest one!)

Definitely - it is almost as if they are doing it on purpose the amount that is happening!

Having said that, if the Nexus Prime is released in the UK and is a top quality Android phone I will be buying when my contract is up for renewal in January.

Looks quite nice and a lot better than what Android used to look like default a few years ago. Doesn't make me want to switch from WP7 back to Android yet though!
