Lowes Arming Employees Nationwide with 42k iPhones

Next time you drop into your local Lowes for some home improvement needs, dont be surprised if you see the cashier ring you out with the iPhone held in their hand — the company is adding 42,000 iPhones in an effort to streamline the way they do business and help their customers. 9to5Mac is reporting that Lowes has purchased 42,000 iPhones in an effort to "process payments and answer customers questions." According to Bloomberg , that equates to about 25 iPhones per retail store, who is also enhancing their existing website as part of an initiative to catch up to number one home improvement retailer Home Depot. "Next month, Lowes will introduce its MyLowes online tool that customers will be able to use to store owners manuals, warranties and paint formulas," Chief Information Officer Mike Brown explained in an interview with Bloomberg.

Samsung Galaxy S III comes with a PenTile matrix screen comparison

The Samsung Galaxy S III is really all about everything - the marriage of design, software features and processing power, but since you’ll look at the screen all of the time it’s mostly about the screen. The Galaxy S III has got a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. And this alone should already disappoint some of you waiting for a Super AMOLED Plus screen. Let us explain why that’s kind of a letdown.

A Super AMOLED screen is the same as the one on the Galaxy S II Galaxy Nexus and this means that it’s not using the full RGB matrix, but instead goes for the PenTile RGBG pixel arrangement. This means that effectively you get a third less subpixels, hence a slightly worse picture. Samsung obviously relies on the HD resolution of the display and the excellent contrasts of its AMOLED  technology to make up for this, but it’s clearly one area where competitors like LG might take the leading edge and capture geeks hearts.

Engadget got an early look at the handset and is bringing 230x magnified pictures showing off the subpixels and comparing the Galaxy S III display to the ones on the HTC One X, the Galaxy Nexus and then against the whole Galaxy S family. Check it all out to see what you get and what you lose, and let us know how you like the display on the S III, by this comparison below.
