Samsung Galaxy S III to Invade London on May 3

It’s official. Samsung will unveil the long-awaited follow-up to its popular Galaxy S II smartphone early next month. Today we received an invitation to a Samsung event scheduled for May 3 in London. Although Samsung doesn’t specifically mention the Galaxy S III in the invitation, it does ask attendees to “Come and meet the next Galaxy.”

And since the company just launched the latest versions of its Galaxy Tab tablets and Galaxy Player media players, there’s really nothing other than the Galaxy S III that Samsung could be announcing.

Rumors have been circulating for months about the next flagship Galaxy S phone, and given the astounding popularity of the Galaxy S II, it’s no wonder. Display specs for Samsung’s next flagship smartphone have been a topic of debate across the web, but most rumors have the phone coming with a 4.7 or 4.8-inch screen with either a 720p or 1080p resolution, respectively.

As for its processor, it’s widely believed that the S III will come packing a new, 1.5-GHz quad-core version of Samsung’s Exynos processor. Other rumored specs include 1GB of RAM and 4G LTE data connectivity. As for its operating system, its seems to be a foregone conclusion that the S III will come with Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich, especially when you consider the fact that Samsung was Google’s launch partner for the OS.

Rumor has it that the S III will also come with an 8 to 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.3 to 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Since the Galaxy S III is a hugely important phone for Samsung, we suspect that the company will stuff the phone with the more powerful 12-megapixel and 2-megapixel cameras to help it compete with the likes of HTC’s Titan II, which packs a 16-megapixel rear-facing cam.

Other rumblings have the Galaxy S III coming with a cool wireless inductive charging setup. Of course, like the rest of the aforementioned specs, the wireless charging is just a rumor.

Check out our rumor roundup for everything we (think) we know about the Galaxy S III, and stay tuned for all of the latest news on the Galaxy S III as it breaks live from Samsung’s event next month

EA's Dead Space for Android keeps the necromorph story alive with awesome graphics, intuitive controls, and a thoroughly chilling soundtrack.

Dead Space for Android takes place three years after the first Dead Space on consoles, but before Dead Space 2. The game opens with a visually stunning flight through space before zeroing in on the main character, Vandal. A recent convert to the Church of Unitology, Vandal must first go on a mission to disrupt some power supply units on a remote ship. Disaster strikes, however, and necromorphs begin unleashing their horrors upon the people trapped onboard. Vandal, now disillusioned and aware of the Church's true goals, must fix the station and take out any of the monsters he encounters.

Gameplay in Dead Space is surprisingly intuitive, considering the lack of physical controls. You have no virtual buttons--instead, you move your character by sliding your finger over the left side of the screen, and you aim your weapon (and look around) by moving your finger over the right side of the screen. Moving around is a little difficult initially, but it gets easier very quickly.

Although the controls are well implemented, they're definitely not perfect, especially when it comes to aiming and firing your weapon. To pull out your weapon, you tap on the left side of the screen. However, that same action also opens doors and picks up items, and I often found myself bringing up my weapon and shooting it instead of opening doors. This not only annoyed me but also caused me to waste precious ammo.

Once you get used to the controls, Dead Space is a pleasure to play. The graphics are awesome, and the soundtrack is also very good. The game suggests that you put on headphones for the best results, and when I tried it with headphones in a semi-lit room, it was certainly creepy (if not truly terrifying). I'll admit that I jumped several times while playing this game, but I'm not exactly the strongest person in the face of even mild horror.

Dead Space is definitely worth the extra bucks. You'll get plenty of play time out of this game, and you always have the option of replaying it with all of your upgrades if you happen to finish it too soon.

We tested this app using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.2.
