Lots of tech writers hated the Samsung Galaxy Note, a massive 5.3-inch-screened Android smartphone. So, this is probably definitive proof that absolutely nobody cares what we think, because the Note sold (sold! Not just shipped!) over 10 million units, and the new version is even bigger at 5.5 inches. It has the usual processor and OS version upgrades, and some UI tricks like hovering the stylus over icons to show options. No word on 4G LTE inclusion, or whether it will accept regulation-sized skateboard trucks. [All Things D]

If they made this with a 7 inch screen, and gave it a quad-core CPU and 4G of ram and made it a Windows 8 based - I'd be first in line. I still maybe first in line. I love the Samsung Note. I switch between it and my Fascinate. :)
