Samsung S3 Slim proves that timing is nothing

Samsung S3

Our friends from Appletell, our sister site, reported last week about the big announcement Jobs made about the revamped iPod nano.  These new nanos are available in a rainbow of colors in an 8GB and 16GB version, plus a few other new features. 

It appears that Samsung is using a similar strategy with the launch of the S3 Slim.  As you can see from the above photo, it also comes in a rainbow of colors.  The memory on these S3s is not as big as the nano, as it comes in 4GB and 8GB versions.  The Samsung S3 does have OGG support, folder navigation options, as well as a nine-band user EQ. 

You have to admit, Samsung’s timing with the S3 is a little…coincidental considering the big announcement from Apple last week.  I’m not saying that one is copying the other, but you go to admit, the timing is strange.  However, if you want to compare, perhaps we should do prices. The nano has 8GB for $149 and 16GB of $199.  The Samsung has the 4GB available for $79.99, and the 8GB for $119.99.

    S3 has sleek design and beautiful LED emitting pad.
    It supports mp3,wma,ogg, mp4,txt, jpeg files and FM radio&voice;recording.Plus, it also is reliable battery time (30hr ) and DNse2.0 offers to set up sound effect by user’s own choice. But, small LCD screen (1.8”) is a flaw to watch movies. I think S3 is affordable.
