Also in the rumour mill is a suggestion that Samsung may be ready to upgrade the S III to Android 4.1 'Jelly Bean' as early as next month. Here's hoping!

Actually I'm going to disagree that an upgrade this early is necessarily a good thing - given the amount of TouchWiz layers etc I'd much prefer that the Samsung devs take their time and get it done right, rather than have a half-ar*ed job rush out the door to generate some bragging rights for the PR department.

That said, the possibility of the Project Butter speed-ups on something that's already pretty darned quick? Loving my SIII, just wish that the camera was better indoors, and I could get proper dial tones instead of "plop, plop, plop" - but these are just niggles.

I actually thought this as well, but I considered it could be possible, having worked on the Nexus smartphone, that Samsung has had longer than we realised to work on this, at least that's what I'm hoping anyway.
