pop-up-play
Back in 2009, LG launched a high profile feature phone, the BL40 Chocolate Touch, an obscenely long handset with what LG touted as a unique “dual-screen” UI. While LG’s long lost the lead in mobile, this feature: a two column view making full use of a large screen, has popped up in the unlikeliest of successors, the Samsung Galaxy S3. The Pop-up Play feature included on the new Android flagship launched last night gives you the ability to push a video into a floating window and continue to use other apps around it on the phone’s giant 4.8-inch screen.

You wanna watch this: it’s the future of computing. Read more

If you’re resolute in your anti-Android stance, you're probably not all that bothered by what Samsung had to show off last night. While there’s some amazing technology on show in the Galaxy S3, it won’t be a patch on the iPhone 5, right? No one outside Apple knows for sure, but if it looks like this - and with these specs - it should be golden... Read more
