Reincarnation

What's going on, Google?!

It's been awhile -- almost 3 years, but I'm back to share some knowledge and spark some dialogue about what's going on with Android in the U.S. market.

March 14 - the unveiling of the Samsung GalaxyS IV, one of the most anticipated devices to launch in 2013 rivaled by the recently released HTC One and relatively old iPhone 5.

The GS4 is rumored to have...

-- wireless charging
-- 2400 mAh battery
-- NFC
-- 4.99", 1080p HD Super-AMOLED screen
-- Quad-core processor
-- 13 MP, HD back camera
-- Internal and removable storage

More specifics can be found over at GSM Arena.

I'm rocking a Galaxy S3, which I love. Bootloader is unlocked (aka I can do anything I want to it... custom kernels, ROMs (software), radios, etc) and I'm rooted running CM 10.1.

-- For those unaware, CM refers to the most popular custom Android ROM in the world, CyanogenMod. --

CM 10.1 is based on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and is ~98% stable given a stock kernel.

Batter life is to be desired but... 8 hours of heavy usage is more than enough for me at this point in my life.

HOW BOUT THEM RAVENS?!?!? Super Bowl Champs.
