Video: RIM's BlackBerry Dev Alpha device demoed

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Although they are is still six to seven  months away from being launched, Research In Motion's BlackBerry 10 devices are expected to look and feel a lot like the above  Dev Alpha Device. Currently running a modified version of the PlayBook OS, the Dev Alpha device was seeded to developers to keep them interested and give them a platform to develop on. Featuring a 4.2 inch screen, a quad band HSPA + radio (no LTE), front and rear facing cameras as well as a generous 16GB of storage, a microSIM and a sealed-in battery. This is pretty exciting hardware for 2012 but will it evolve into something competetive for 2013? That really is the question.

Video: Preview of Samsung Galaxy S III

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

I had the opportunity to check out the North American version of Samsung Galaxy S III which is coming to Canada on June 20th and will be available from most carriers. This is Samsung's flagship smartphone and will feature a 1.5GHz dual core processor, 2GB of RAM and either 16GB or 32GB of storage (plus expansion via microSD).

The rounded design is reminiscent of 2010's  original Samsung Galaxy S and the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung has piled a long list of hardware and software innovations, just check the video above where we received a demo from Samsung's Director of Wireless Product Realization, Vlastimir Lalovic to see the new TouchWiz interface and features, NFC connectivity, peer-to-peer connectivity, great video playback and a huge, long lasting battery. 

Samsung is releasing a number of accessories including cases, battery chargers, a stylus (of course) and a universal vehicle mount that will work on multiple smartphones. Our review unit had a Rogers SIM card but needed to go back so I am writing up a full review once I receive a replacement. In the meantime here's a slideshow of the North American Galaxy S III.
