About high time that Qualcomm tried to ramp up S4 production - heck knows why they waited THIS long since it was obvious that they were falling short.

On a personal note, the S4 shortage was the reason I ended up with a Galaxy SIII this year. I'd set my mind on getting an Asus Padfone, (which is S4 powered), but with the continual delays imposed by the S4 shortage, impatience got the better of me.

Yeah its probably due to Windows8 but then its also probably down to WP8 as they used qualcomm last time and i suspect it will stay the same for the next iteration of hardware. Going to be ALOT of demand for it but personally id prefer a more open manufacturer like Samsungs or TI chips .
