It looks like Samsung’s going to take to the streets of the US to show off its forthcoming Galaxy S4 phone, with the tech giant’s New York launch announcement set to take place in Times Square. Big screens, crowds, excited hands-on reports from bewildered tourists and millions of excited internet pages will be spawned on March 14. [Samsung]
is this getting all a bit over the top and appley next the clapping and whoop whoops and queues arghhh
No samsung NO
And thus the student becomes the master, muahahahaha!
They slate Apple in the adverts but they are not doing a good job to differ themselves.
I think this one is a dig at Sony – we’ll be launching a product and it will actually be there!
I’m pretty sure Sony didn’t show the PS4 on purpose! People care too much about aesthetics and it could have overshadowed, what in my opinion was an impressive announcement.
The more that comes out about it, the more I’m inclined to believe that Sony didn’t show it because it’s not finished, either from a thermal performance, aesthetic or even infrastructure perspective.
Nintendo previewed a honed prototype of the Wii-U actually playing games at E3 in 2011, officially unveiling it in 2012, before releasing late November last year. All Sony have offered so far is a PPT presentation a controller with a trackpad and some pretty pre-renders.
The number of execs dodging questions about what you’d hope would be core functionality of the ecosystem, smacks all too readily of a product that’s just not complete, certainly not in any form that could be pushed to consumers. Someone realised that they were too late to cancel the venue booking and had to make do.
I reckon they are waiting for Microsoft to announce their system,
so Sony can add functions if need be.
And with Sony not giving 100% details, they can at leased bring little bits and bobs out until they are ready to show the console, bringing them back into the light, they could do that after Microsoft has announced everything.
