The Samsung Galaxy S III: AndroidNZ goes hands-on, brings you our thoughts and exclusive details

One can almost sense the near-palpable nervousness of the

because it was shaking with fear (or maybe that was my excitement)

Something great happened to me today; I got the rather unexpected joy of being able to play with the Samsung Galaxy S III. The pieces fell together quite unexpectedly yesterday, when a nameless benefactor temporarily came into possession of an S3, and was kind enough to give it up for a couple of hours today (I don't think I could have been so generous, I would have been more in the "from my cold dead hands" camp I think).

Anyways, what follows is an account of my brief two hour experience with the S3, and some of my thoughts and early impressions. I unearthed a few things that nobody else has covered in relation to the S3, so I hope you'll enjoy it (you didn't think exFAT support was all I had for you, did ya?).

Catch you after the break.

Samsung Galaxy S3, more secrets revealed: Samsung extends USB OTG and bluetooth capabilities in ICS

If you were with us earlier today then you'll have noticed that my update path to the official ICS release for the Note was less than smooth, but could have been far worse. Long story short: I'm on official ICS on my Note and its running well, for now at any rate.

As per usual I soon got down to testing some of the connectivity options at the Note's disposal with various peripheral devices. Not only were my findings very interesting for Galaxy Note owners, they also give us some additional and previously unknown insights into the connectivity options that we're likely to see enabled in the Galaxy S III.

I may be drawing a longer bow here than I did in my previous secrets revealed piece, but I think the conclusions will prove sound.

Make the jump for the big reveal...


(For now let me just say that gamers and composers will be pleased!)
