Yesterday, it was discovered that Samsung would be holding a mobile event in France on March 22nd. Speculation ran wild, of course, with some even suggesting that this could be the launch platform for the Samsung Galaxy S III, an unlikely but not impossible notion. Well, it looks like the “unlikely” part rings true as Samsung reportedly debunked rumors of the Galaxy S III, or any new device, being announced at this event. The french show will serve to showcase their existing device portfolio to attendees. Samsung will likely announce new devices before then and those will be in attendance, but don’t get your hopes up for the Galaxy S III. Anything could happen, of course, so we’re going to remain front-row and center for anything Samsung announces this quarter. [via TheNextWeb]
Samaung wouldnt announce SGIII in France on March 22nd. Why would they? They will announce it when Apple launch their iPhone 45 then Samsung will follow suit
someone could argue the exact opposite. Why on Earth would they wait until apple launches the next iphone? You’d want to get as early a head start as possible to maximize sales. One of the reasons xbox did so well was because it launched a whole year before ps3.
There is a reason why blockbuster movies don’t come out the same weekend. No one REALLY wants such head to head competition. It would be wise (in my opinion) of Samsung to get the craze out for GS3 and release it well before the iphone.
Waiting for the iphone to come out and then trying to squeeze in any features it had that you didnt, in the last minute and then release it 3 months later doesn’t sound like a solid strategy to me.
Damn you Samsung!! Announce the phone already!! You’re getting really annoying!
Probably to release Ice Cream Sandwich to the S I I phones.
Samsung, unveil official ICS for S2 and Note, please
So its a useless event?
Maybe it will be to announce the note for Verizon!!!!! It’s not technically a new device……
Gawd I want that phone on my carrier.
