Samsung Lotus Glass vs Gorilla Glass 2

Both made utilizing Corning’s technology, but Samsung’s manufacturing process allows for far superior screen quality… 2 of the most important qualities you look for in a smartphone these days, durability and visual quality.

Corning released some information stating that Lotus Glass is just as strong as Gorilla Glass 2, yet because of the manufacturing process, it has an enhanced picture quality, better response time, better resolution, and reduces the screen’s power requirements(someone explain this one to me please!)

It has also been brought to my attention that Lotus Glass is going to be used in conjuntion with Gorilla Glass, and will not be a used separately. This will make for one tough smartphone display. Go here to read all about it.

Facebook : How much is it worth?

Today marks a historical day for Facebook, only thing better is when stock starts trading on the public market!

It’s finally happened — the Facebook IPO is a real thing. No more speculation, no more guess-work. Facebook filed its S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this afternoon indicating its intention to go public with an eye toward raising $5 billion from sales of stock based on a $100 billion valuation.

In this Corner – Samsung Galaxy S3

The Galaxy S3 will not be showing up at the Mobile World Conference 2012, but instead will get its own launch party mid 2012.

Whether it is delayed because of manufacturing or because of wanting to directly compete with iPhone 5, the launch of the Galaxy S3 will be huge. You can bet that it will hurt the iPhone 5′s own launch.

Is Samsung going to put in a Dual-core Exynos processor or a Quad-core Exynos processor? Many of us are hoping for a quad-core, we always want more power right? I think the more important issue is which one works better with the battery? As long as the phone runs fast like the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch on Sprint does, I am happy with dual-core as long as the battery is adequate to last the entire day.

The iPhone 5 is rumored to be released July, maybe that’s the reason Samsung is waiting? Read more here.
