I don't buy a lot of the 'Samsung copies everything Apple does' arguments, but then things like this pop up. Makes you wonder if they are either lazy or just doing it to wind Apple up.
From MacDailyNews- Brownlee reports, “The model’s iPhone has been artlessly photoshopped into a Samsung Galaxy S4, even though that device features a 5-inch display that is so large, the phone’s tiny size in the model’s hand implies a woman who is over eight-feet tall.”

This article makes for an interesting point for discussion. Do LIM readers try to stay on the leading edge and hope to pick a winner, adopt/upgrade when there's clear winners, or stick with tried and tested? Thanks to Paul.
There are two types of technology users — those that like to have the latest and greatest devices and those that use their devices until they are obsolete. There really isn’t one best user, but some people are criticized for buying devices as soon as they are released to the public because of the higher cost.

Microsoft has a good excuse for the Surface Pro's late arrival in the UK: the company claims that demand in the US stripped its cupboards bare, leaving nothing but RT crumbs to sell on this side of the Atlantic. In any case, Redmond tells us that a date has now been set, with the Core i5-powered tablet due to be available from Microsoft's online store from May 23rd. For once, Brits can look forward to dollar-equivalent pricing, with the 64GB version going for £719 and the 128GB model fetching £799 inclusive of VAT... More at engadget.
It was only when I saw the UK price that I realised how ridiculous this will look in a store surrounded by so many other options.

"We are reviewing the possibility to secure more memory space through further software optimisation." Samsung spokesperson regarding the S4 memory problems.
Now if I was being asked I would probably say "Yeah sorry about that. We will delete some of the crap on it you will never use anyway and let you use the SD card for apps and games as well."

Well, there is little doubt that Google piled on the pressure yesterday. That pressure was applied directly to Apple, and WWDC will now be tinged with a sense of 'whatever you do, it won't be enough compared to what we have just seen.'
Hangouts, Google Play Music All Access, Google+ creepy photo adjustments, the redesigned maps and so much more gave us all a sense that a lot is happening in Google world and that things are moving fast. It was hugely impressive from a marketing and technical point of view and even if you don't like all that you saw, the pressure was there.
Making the S4 a vanilla Android phone and charging a fortune for it is a bit silly, and lazy in my opinion, but many of the developer options now available really do make Apple look slow in comparison. Sean Heber summed it up on Twitter- "I'm sort of nervous for WWDC now. In dev terms, Google is basically shipping everything iOS devs have been asking for since the beginning."
I would have written more about this, but haven't been feeling well the past couple of days so will leave it to The Verge to sum it all up here.

I am noticing that the accessory market for smartphones is no longer completely dominated by the iPhone. Seems that many HTC and Samsung models are now popular among accessory manufacturers. This new metal bumper frame from PDair for the S4 is a good example.
Thin, lightweight and strong, easy to install. Anodized aircraft-grade aluminum prevents from scratches. High Quality Aluminum to create a hard protective bumper in brilliant colors. Slim, sleek and two-piece design bumper, no screwdriver needed.
