Black Samsung Galaxy S III pretty much confirmed, coming next month
When Samsung announced the Galaxy S III in early May, they showed off two color variants: one was white, the other was blue. That threw a lot of people off since many were expecting to see the same old black/white options that all smartphones have had for the better part of half a decade. Several weeks later, when the American operator AT&T announced that they would start selling the Galaxy S III, they said they’d have the blue and white models in stock, but they also said they’d offer a red variant. Wonderful, but again, what about black? There are some folks out there who just want a plain black phone and refuse to use anything else. According to images found by Unwired View, the black Galaxy S III exists.
When will it actually hit store shelves? Both Android Police and SammyHub suggest that we’re going to have to wait until next month. Why such a long wait? That’s a good question. We don’t know why Samsung chose to go with blue and white instead of black and white, but if we had to guess we’d say it had something to do with them wanting to show something to the world that stands out. If you guys really want to see something that’ll turn heads then we recommend you go to a store and fondle a red Nokia PureView 808, but that’s a whole other topic of discussion.

Motorola to let go 20% of their employees, close a third of their offices
When Google said they were going to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in August 2011, no one really knew what to make of the announcement. Was Google seriously going to try and compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung? The acquisition finally went through in May 2012, less than three months ago, so we’ll soon hopefully see what the search giant has in store for the company that brought us the RAZR. To kick things off though, The New York Times is reporting that 20% of Motorola’s employees will be fired. Ina Fried from AllThingsD quantifies that number for us: 4,000 people. Roughly one third of those cuts will be in the United States. The bad news doesn’t stop there either. Today Motorola has 94 offices. The NYT report says one third of them will be closed. The company will focus their resources on three “hubs” in Sunnyvale, California; Chicago, Illinois; and Beijing, China.
So what happens after the job cuts? Dennis Woodside, Motorola’s CEO, told the NYT that they’re going to stop making low end devices, and instead of having a portfolio of dozens of phones they’ll be just a few. Dennis goes on to say that these few remaining devices will have advanced sensors, amazing cameras, and batteries that can last for days. Mark Randall, who managed the supply chain for Amazon’s Kindle, is now working for Google. He says he’s going to cut the number of suppliers that Motorola deals with and reduce component orders by 50%. Does that mean they’re going to make half the number of phones they usually make?
The bigger question is how will Google’s relationship with companies that use Android change now that Motorola will effectively be competing with everyone? Will Motorola get special treatment? The NYT says that there’s a program in place at Google that allows employees to move over to Motorola for one to two years. Imagine how Samsung must feel after reading that.
