While the Samsung Galaxy S3 is already available in various international markets, US Android fans interested in purchasing the company’s 2012 flagship smartphone will have to wait at least a few more weeks to get it, if recent rumors are correct.
The phone is expected to land in U.S. stores on June 20, at which point you’ll be able to get your Galaxy S3 flavor from one of the four major mobile operators – Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are already confirmed to carry the Galaxy S3 – or from one of the regional carriers that will surely pick up the phone.
Wireless headphones are awesome. I use mine pretty much every single day. However, it can be tough to know how much battery you have left. Mine have died in my ears a few times because I didn’t know they were low. You can forget this problem with the F9 wireless headphones and power bank case.

Around 17 percent of voters buy a new phone whenever their old one breaks.
If you’ve been paying attention to the news over the past few months, you may find yourself looking for a new email app.
Over the weekend Google updated its Calendar app to version 201308023, listing the only change as “bug fixes and performance improvements”. While most of the update’s changes do seem to be pretty small, there at least one useful change that has arrived with the app that for whatever reason was not highlighted by Google in the change-log: the ability to reply to Calendar events from Gmail.
