Dutch website Mobile Cowboys (we can’t help but think of Brokeback Mountain) spoke to a Samsung insider who revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Note S will be heading shelf-wards in the second half of this year after taking centre stage at MWC.
Yes, Samsung’s had a team of top flight marketers working ’round the clock on a name for the follow-up to the Galaxy Note smartphone-cum-tablet.
No detail
Sadly what the source didn’t reveal is what specs we can expect from the Note S, although it did confirm that it will come with Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich – but by that time we’d hope to see ICS on the original Note anyway.

February three, 2012
Diggin’ the hair, bro.
This is a statue spotted in a mall in Seoul, South Korea (of course it was) of Hulk about to pop every blood vessel in his massive, green body straining on the can. I’m honestly surprised to see he wipes with something as soft as newspaper, I would have guessed he utilized sandpaper or just a handful of broken glass. “Jesus — he’s not The Factor!” Good point. So, who else sees the glaring dilemma with this picture? “He chose a shitter with no toilet tank?” Exaaaaaaactly. That turd is going NOWHERE.

Of course, you would not have to construct robots with wheels that transform into legs if you’d just strap f***ing jetpacks on them already. “You have doomed us all, GW!” Yeaaaaaah, I plan on going skydiving this weekend, so I’ve kinda stopped caring. “Why?!” Have you observed my parachute? “That is a bookbag.” *wink*
