What about the release date, though? While we don’t have specifics, we do know that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will be available in Marble White or Titanium Gray starting in October for the European, Asian and Middle Eastern markets. As for price? It’s hard to say at this point, though the original Note launched at $300 with 2-year-contract through AT&T – so it’s possible the Note 2 could be priced similarly.
Samsung is apparently on track to spend $14 billion this year on advertising and marketing in order to sell more Galaxy handsets and other products, but ads will not always work in its favor.

Last week, Apple went and screwed over a bunch of Android users by buying Dark Sky and announcing its removal from the Play Store. Not only that, the Dark Sky API is being shuttered too, so even our other favorite weather apps will need to find an alternative weather source.
