Samsung Galaxy S III to be sold in Mobile Pin pop-up stores

Image

At the very tail end of its Galaxy S III event, Samsung promised one more surprise -- and what it gave us was a special retail strategy. The company will be opening Mobile Pin locations, or glass-housed pop-up stores, to help showcase its new flagship phone. Those at the event got to look at examples of the stores first-hand. Everyone else will get a look in the near future, with Mobile Pins appearing at least within London. We've got a gallery below to explore the locations in more detail.

Anna Paquin on Bisexuality: A Real Thing!


Yes, Anna Paquin reiterates in the latest issue of Zooey. She's bisexual.

But, no, this isn't some cop-out because she can't choose between a man and a woman. Ignoring the fact that she has selected a man - co-star Stephen Moyer, with whom she's expecting a baby - Paquin gives her view on the topic to the magazine as follows:

Anna Paquin for Zooey

"I’m someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing. It’s not made up. It’s not a lack of decision. It’s not being greedy or numerous other ignorant things I’ve heard at this point. For a bisexual, it’s not about gender. That’s not the deciding factor for who they’re attracted to.”

Paquin - who gets flak for some morons regarding her teeth - also has an interesting take on plastic surgery and the pressure on Hollywood actresses to have a certain appearance.

"If you have a whole bunch of work done with your teeth and your face and your boobs, then you’re only going to play modern people. That’s a big choice to make. Very limiting.”

Paquin will return to the small screen on June 10, when True Blood Season 5 premieres.

This Is What Happens When You Cross a Kinect With a DSLR [Video]

If you've ever wondered what a Kinect with DSLR image resolution might be like... well, you'll have to wait. But for now, this is the next best thing: called RGBDToolkit, it's a project designed to layer HD video over Kinect's depth maps. And it's pretty neat. More »

T-Mobile Prism leaked: entry-level Huawei smartphone to launch in May

T-Mobile Prism leaked: entry-level Huawei smartphone to launch in May

While the design (and even the briefing slides) scream affordable, we're sure there must be some Big Magenta customers aching for a keenly-priced smartphone fix. So here's the Prism. Huawei's behind that T-Mobile face, cooking up a Android Gingerbread phone with a pretty weedy 600MHz processor and a 3.5-inch (480 x 320) touchscreen. A fixed-focus (yeah) 3.2-megapixel camera pokes out the back, while a microSD slot means you can extend space for those vaguely-almost-in-focus shots -- the Prism arrives with a 2GB card already onboard. The phone looks set for a May 6th release date and TmoNews has several more slides with some extra launch details -- you can check them out at the source below.

BlackBerry Music Gateway hands-on (video)

Image

The music streaming accessory market is immensely saturated, but RIM is hoping to add its own flavor with its latest version of the BlackBerry Music Gateway. We took a brief look at this year's BlackBerry World in Orlando, and were impressed by both its size and ease of use. A tiny dongle no larger than the Bold 9900's display, the device easily pairs up with any Bluetooth-enabled phone, tablet or music player and lets you push your tunes into a home or car stereo -- provided it offers ports for RCA cables, that is. NFC is also added into the mix this time around, which means you can impress friends by simply tapping your BlackBerry to the Gateway to initiate the pairing sequence. While it's not bringing anything drastically new to the table, its $50 price tag makes it a tempting offer for anyone whose FM transmitter is picking up nothing but static in a densely populated city. If you fall into that category or are just looking for something to bedazzle close friends and relatives, don't hesitate to check out our gallery below and video after the break.
