How would you change the Samsung Galaxy S III?

How would you change the Samsung Galaxy S III

When we reviewed Samsung’s Galaxy S III in the simple, gentle days of May, our reviewer wasn’t sure it would win out against HTC’s One X. In the intervening six months, however, the Korean behemoth has battled to the top of the smartphone world and shipped 30 million of its 2012-era flagship to consumers worldwide. But what about the phone itself? You’ve had half a year to burrow deep into this device and find out what you love and what you don’t. It’s How Would You Change time, folks, you know what to do.

RG3 1, DRC 0.

Robert Griffin III was making plenty of Eagles defenders miss in his first career game against Philadelphia. None of them missed as badly as defensive back Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

In the final minutes of the first half on 3rd and 10, the Redskins rookie scrambled for seven yards and was dragged down by linebacker Mychal Kendricks. As RG3 was falling to the ground, Rodgers-Cromartie launched himself helmet-first towards him.

Reggie Fils-Aime talks Wii U Nintendo TVii delay

The launch of the Wii U is exciting for any Nintendo fan, but one thing that’s bumming owners out is the delay of Nintendo TVii. We found out just before launch that Nintendo TVii won’t be arriving until sometime in December, when before that announcement, Nintendo had been saying that the service would be patched in at launch. The last minute delay has to sting for some who were looking forward to Nintendo TVii, but in a new interview with MTV Multiplayer, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime did his best to justify the delay.


We use the term “justify” loosely, as Fils-Aime didn’t actually give a reason for Nintendo TVii’s delay. After pointing to the fact that the Netflix Wii U app is live today, he went onto say that the Wii U is a “living, breathing system” that’s only going to get better as time goes on.

In the days and weeks ahead, the other three video services will be up and running. We’ve said that Nintendo TVii is coming in December, and so it truly is a living, breathing system that will bring more and more elements to bear over the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.

Unfortunately for Fils-Aime, we don’t think that answer is going to cut it for a lot of the folks who were excited for Nintendo TVii. He did his best avoid the tricky situation of actually talking about the delay, but he didn’t say anything that lets us know why it happened. Still, at least it won’t be too much longer before Nintendo TVii is finally delivered, unless of course it’s pushed back even further before its scheduled December launch arrives.

While you wait for Nintendo TVii, you can check out Netflix from today, with other services like Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and YouTube all going live within the next few weeks. We presume apps for each service will be available before Nintendo TVii launches, but then again, we don’t have a solid release date for Nintendo TVii. Looks like we’ll just have to wait for more official word from Nintendo. Stay tuned!
