The Samsung Galaxy S4 Is Here! Should You Be Excited?

Last Friday, March 15th, Samsung took the wraps off the new Galaxy S4 at a glittering event at New York's famous Radio City Music Hall. The fabled iPhone killer, which has been attempted many times, but not yet realized, may just be manifest in this new handheld (more mobile?) device. Regardless of where you stand on the iOS/Android debate, you have to admit that this newest incarnation of the S series of Samsung handheld devices is a major competitor to the HTC One, Xperia Z and the now out of date iPhone 5. But, should you be excited about it?
