"Our change in smartphone design is part of a five-year plan, not a sudden turn-around," claims an executive. He reiterated once again that the soapy shape of the Galaxy S III has been decided on after trying out hundreds of possible scenarios (and sticking with the home key in the last minute, we hear). Well, if those Galaxy S line designs are part of a 5-year plan, we are curious what's in it for next year...

Definitely not influenced by Apple but designed by lawyers.

Whooppieee, Unfortunately with the price of data plans skyrocketing and capping and tiering by cell carriers, the promise of smart phones is now dead.

Why do you keep saying that? Smartphones aren't going anywhere. In fact they're growing like crazy in market share.

I predict that in 5 years Apple's share of the market will be similar to Rim's today...

And what are you basing this on? Fanatic fandroid hate?

um why would a strong os that is increasing marketshare suddenly plunge down… it would have to take a seriously huge plunge to reach rim levels

After the lawsuits Samsung has had to change around their gameplay of making their phones iPhone replica's.

Just hope greedy APPLE dosn't ban the GALAXY S III when it comes close to launch after what they did to HTC
