On Tuesday we heard rumours that the Samsung Galaxy S was launching simultaneously around the globe. This rumour has now been squashed in that the US wont get it till later this year and neither will the rest of the world. However, for those in Europe it is expected that the Samsung Galaxy S will happen any day now.
The press release mentions that 100 operators across the globe have selected the smartphone due to it being a key device.
“The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S will set a new standard for smartphones, and the excitement we’ve seen from operators and retailers for this device is testament to that,” said JK Shin, president and head of mobile communications business. “The Samsung Galaxy S is the perfect device for people in all corners of the world who want that extra edge; to be more effective, productive, better connected, and in tune with their smart life both personal and professional all in a very easy and simple way. We’re extremely confident that this device is going to be very successful in every market.”
The Samsung Galaxy S is the flagship model this year for Samsung. It has a 4 inch Super AMOLED screen. It runs a 1GHz processor. It runs Google Android and has all the connectivity you need.
Over the top of Android is the custom TouchWiz 3.0 user interface. Also access to the Android Market is possible with the Android OS allowing you to choose from a huge selection (50000+) applications to download.
