Samsung sells 100,000,000 Galaxy S smartphones!



Yup! Samsung has sold 100,000,000 Galaxy S devices all around the world! You might get this wrong so I'm going to make things clearer. Samsung, the Korean-giant slowly taking over the mobile world, has sold its 100,000,000th GALAXY S device. The Galaxy S line of smartphones by Samsung is the company's Flagship Android smartphone. So, when news tells you so, it basically means that if you combine all the global sales of the Galaxy S (the first ever Galaxy S smartphone), the Galaxy S II, and the Galaxy S III you'd be arriving at 100,000,000. A minute after you read this, that'd probably be 100,000,001. According to Samsung's press release, the break down of this number is as follows...
