Impressive phone.

The TV commercials are striking mostly because of the large screen size. It's almost like a tablet.

Samsung releases source code for Galaxy S III. i.e. Open Source Linux OS

Samsung has released the kernel source code of Samsung Galaxy SIII (International) the Linux core upon which Android is based. Though it is necessary to release the kernel source under the GPL license but interestingly the source code was released just after three days of its official release. The source is code is available in Samsung open source repository, though it is not that useful for normal users but very helpful for the Android Developers who always seeks for the source to create custom ROM’s. This release will certainly be helpful for all the developers and we hope we will able to see custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy SIII soon, so S3 keep waiting as you will soon be able to get good custom ROM for your devices.
