No love for the SuperOne

If your car's broken down, nursing your smartphone's short battery life can be a real nightmare when waiting for rescue. Of course, that might not be much of a problem if Xpal Power (the company behind Energizer and PowerSkin) has anything to do with it. It's developed the SpareOne, a super-cheap phone that runs from a single AA Battery and will reputedly maintain its charge for up to fifteen years. The dual-band GSM phone is designed for emergencies, transmitting its location alongside its call ID, or as a loaner phone for big corporate events. You'll get an Energizer AA battery and a microSIM in the bundle which will set you back $49.99 when it arrives at some point this quarter. At that price, we can imagine throwing a few in the trunk for breakdowns, when we're doing our Bear Grylls routine, or during the Robopocalypse.

I imagine a tease at the very least hopefully, the time is looming very close and if Sammy want to make an impact and get people talking especially after such a successful GS2 release then I'd hope so!

The SGS launched at MWC 2010, the SGS2 launched at MWC 2011, spotting a pattern here? ;)
I wouldn't expect to see the SGS3 launch at CES, but it'd be nice to be wrong.

That isn't a big enough upgrade for Samsung, it will have a fancy new screen, 2GB RAM, obnoxiously large camera sensor and quad-core no doubt.

Not gonna be quad-core tbh, i'd put money on it being Exynos 5250 - Dual core A15's with a GPU '5x faster' iirc...

And as mentioned, MWC which is end of next month I think?
