Seems they've already given up their support for the S3. That sucks. I have no intentions of upgrading.

They seem in a huge hurry to come out with new products to stay ahead of Apple...

Android 4.3, for the Galaxy S3, will be available sometime in November. They haven't given up support for the S3.

I wonder why they haven't bothered issuing the 4.2 update and go straight for the 4.3.

*shrug* It won't matter much, once Cyanogenmod goes live on the Play Store.

Who goes what where? Why would Cyanogenmod be on the play store? I am already running 4.3 courtesy of them on my s3. Very nice.


Just my $0.02,

Cyanogenmod has publicly declared that they will be on the Play Store "Soon(tm)". Along with an app for the PC to automate that process (probably put into the phone's storage upon install, much like EasyTether's PC client, so it can be copied over), it will automate rooting your phone and installing Cyanogenmod.
