New phones are what we are all about. A very specific case has got to be the Samsung series that won ‘bets Smartphone’ Category in the GSM Awards.

This is funny because barely a month after the S3 wins an award, Samsung is already in line to launch a spanking new one just 6 days from today: The Samsung Galaxy S4. What does it have?

It has been on the minds of quite the bunch of business minds for the past year or so on account of his statement that he would take medical leave of absence.

Though it’s unclear what the reason is for the medical leave, Jobs’ medical history includes a bout of pancreatic cancer and a liver transplant. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the earlier part of 2004 and even though he beat it, it kept taking shots at his overall health. He then underwent a liver transplant in 2009, and made a full recovery.
