I don't know if you heard, but Samsung finally 'unpacked' the Galaxy S4 last night, live in New York, and yup, it was the colossal disappointment I pretty much expected it to be. Now sure, it looks like a decent enough device, and I've no doubt it'll sell like loonytunes, but the event was a clear sign that cracks are forming in Sammy's giant, all-singing all-dancing facade.

Not that it's not a gorgeous-looking phone, but oh my god it looks like the iPhone 5's twin brother. I know Samsung and Apple have serious beef with each other, but hell, that's almost Chinese knock-off territory. Probably utter crap then, but just imagine if it was real.
