Samsung's Android 4.2.2 update for the Galaxy S III has leaked, bringing Galaxy S 4 functionality to the older smartphone, though the official release isn't expected until sometime in June. Firmware version I9300XXUFME3 for the GSIII is still a work-in-progress internally, according to SamMobile, with the Jelly Bean based OS still apparently undergoing testing. However, this leak does give an indication of which features Samsung will be retroactively bringing to its old flagship.

‘Samsung Galaxy S III’ Stories
Samsung Galaxy S III Jelly Bean 4.2.2 update leaks with Galaxy S 4 features
RokForm v3 accessories turn smartphones to wall-mounted televisions
The accessory company RokForm has been releasing accessories since 2010, coming up here in 2013 with a family of components that allow a smartphone – one of several models – to be attached to essentially any hard surface you’ve got near you.

Facebook Home vs Homeless: should you go blue for Android?
If you’re planning on adding Facebook Home to your device this weekend, you might want to consider the positives and negatives of doing such a thing. If you’ve got an HTC First, you’ll likely have purchased the device because you want Facebook on your device, and there’s really not a whole lot you need to consider. If you’re a Facebook user and have an Android device, you’ve got what might be a rather easy decision ahead of you.
PSA: Why doesn’t Facebook Home work on my smartphone?
Today is the day Facebook Home is released for Android devices, and though it may seem possible to download the app for your smartphone or tablet, it won’t necessarily be in full working order this afternoon. Why would that be – you might ask? Because Facebook’s launch of Facebook Home is limited to just five devices – and one of them was just released to the market today.
Apple’s War Chest, Samsung plastic, and HTC One supply
The influence and cash flow Apple has right this minute may be squarely to blame for both Samsung‘s continued use of plastic to construct the GALAXY S 4 and HTC‘s trouble getting supply line at full speed for the HTC One. When you consider the vast number of products Apple creates that use large amounts of aluminum, you’ll find that the company is really rather invested in keeping their supply of this building block in order. When you consider the must-win situation HTC has with their new HTC One device, you’ll know how nervous they must be if their rumored supplier status downgrade is, indeed, a reality.
