First look: Samsung Galaxy S III proves the rumors right
Samsung just unveiled the highly-anticipated successor to the Galaxy S II. Was it worth the wait? Well, it boasts a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, an 8-megapixel camera, 2,100mAh removable battery, and a quad-core Exynos processor. Oh, and it runs Android 4.0.

Free 4G internet service to begin in the US.
‘FreedomPop” will give users around a gigabyte of free 4G internet access per month when it launches in the US later this year.
While it’s not quite the first to do so, it is offering five times more data than NetZero’s free offering, and will offer an interesting way to connect your iPhone:
FreedomPop will offer three mobile broadband devices at first. There will be a USB dongle for laptops, a Wi-Fi hotspot device that can connect up to 20 devices to the Web, and an iPhone case that will allow the smart phone to circumvent the user’s wireless carrier and can also charge the phone and act as a hotspot for up to eight additional devices.
Users won’t pay for the devices, but they will have to fork over a refundable deposit fee.
While it’s not clear exactly how the company will generate revenue, it is likely to come partly from advertising (pop-ups interrupting your web access for example), and by charging users who want more data or extra services.

3D solar cell structures found to increase power output.
Researchers at MIT have found a way to produce more solar electricity within a given area by building 3D structures to display the solar panels on.
While most research into improvements in solar power go towards improving performance in the photovoltaic cells themselves, the team found that this relatively simple method boosted power output by between two and 20 times, compared to fixed flat panels with the same base area.
The biggest boosts in power were seen in the situations where improvements are most needed: in locations far from the equator, in winter months and on cloudier days.
The basic physical reason for the improvement in power output — and for the more uniform output over time — is that the 3-D structures’ vertical surfaces can collect much more sunlight during mornings, evenings and winters, when the sun is closer to the horizon, says co-author Marco Bernardi, a graduate student in MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
