This looks like a very bright idea that could be wonderful but how many times have Samsung said they were making toping of the range smartphones etc & just canceled them I am not completely convinced. Come on Samsung proof me wrong I would be so pleased if you could I would really like you to release this device. Can't comment on performance & Usability because the device isn't even out yet & the specs aren't really known.
