Samsung releases source code for the Galaxy S III

When it comes to pleasing the Android developer community, Samsung has been ahead of the pack for a while now by giving out sample units to developers and making their phones generally easy to mess around with. They are also known for releasing the source code of their phones in a timely fashion and keeping with that tradition they have released the source code for the recently launched Galaxy S III.

The source code for the Galaxy S III is now available for download on Samsung's website. For now, they have only provided the code for the GSM international I9300 model but we're sure code for the other models will be made available once they go on sale.
To download the source code for the Galaxy S III, head this way.
