New Samsung Galaxy S III trailer boasts powerful technology…and sheep

Oh, Samsung. The cryptic teases about the company’s next generation Galaxy device just keep on coming. At this point we really hope the Samsung Galaxy S III lives up to the hype. The latest in a series of highly publicized marketing efforts is a video that runs about a minute in length. It starts off with just a bunch of lofty PR speak and intense graphical effects, and then ends with a group of closely herded sheep.

The metaphor at play there? Samsung says the Galaxy S III will ‘stand out from the crowd.’ But for now, we have to keep saying we’ll believe it when we see it. The company got a lot of attention earlier today with a website that had a countdown timer expiring early this morning. That ended up just being another tease, but that was to be expected. The company already scheduled a huge media event on May 3, so that’s when all the news will actually happen.

In the mean time, Samsung is just bored so it’s like that over eager gift-giver before Christmas who keeps dropping hints about what he bought for you. Although the company itself has not given any specifics, it’s been reported that it will have a 4.6-inch or 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display, and that the ergonomics of the device will be something completely new and unique. We’ll see what all the fuss is about next Thursday.
