According to Sammobile, Samsung’s nearly done with a test version of the Jelly Bean update for their flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy SIII. The Galaxy SIII was released this May 2012 and came with Ice Cream Sandwich onboard. Recently, Google announced the Jelly Bean update aka Android 4.1 which brings some improved features and performance tweaks to the Android devices. All that stands between the Jelly Bean update and the Galaxy SIII is the approval from Google after they successfully test the software.

Its interesting to see brands trying to release software updates early as Android shoppers seems to consider that factor seriously while purchasing Android phones. Following the Galaxy SIII, the Galaxy SII and the widely popular Galaxy Note will also be receiving the Jelly Bean update. It’s not known when exactly this update will hit these phones. But one should see them either before the end of Q3 or as early as the beginning of Q4 2012.

As you might know, Samsung is the official partner for London 2012 Olympics. Samsung has been working really hard to promote the Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Note during the same. Samsung has also included shows for the opening ceremony where the performers use the Galaxy Notes to put on a show. Moreover, this video here also shows how the Samsung devices have been helping the coordinators to coordinate events for the opening ceremony.

Every year we see a new iPhone being announced and the entire world goes gaga behind it. But have you ever thought how many prototypes would have been made before Apple decides on the final design ?? Well, here’s a gallery  from Buzzfeed who managed to get some of the early prototypes which Apple designed but never made to the market because they chose the designs that we have in our hands today over these. Some of the designs may resemble you the iPod Nano and some the iPod Touch.

Interestingly, some designs also look similar to the rival designs from Sony. A lot of hard work is done before any product is launched to the market and these pictures tell us exactly that. If you look carefully, you may also notice the look of the icon set Apple was initially planning for the iPhone. Its interesting how these prototype designs have turned in to the products that we use today. Kudos to Apple, Steve Jobs and his team.

Is there any design among these you wish that Apple chose over any existing design in the market ?
