Samsung Outlines ICS Update Additions, ‘Face Unlock’ Now Requires You to Blink for Added Security

Samsung today announced new features that were added to the ICS update that is scheduled to hit select Galaxy devices. Samsung’s Product Planning Team, the folks in charge of creating the update, spoke with Samsung Tomorrow detailing what is to be expected in the Galaxy S II and Galaxy S firmware updates.

The man in charge of the Galaxy S “value pack” update, SangHyuck Nam, says the device’s firmware update will contain five additional functions and expects customers to be happy with the upgrade since they “tried to make functions as similar to those found in ICS as possible.” One of the more notable features included is the more secure ‘Face Unlock’ function, requiring the user to blink to prove that in fact it isn’t just some ne’er-do-well using a picture of the owner in an effort to unlock the device. Another big addition is a custom  version of Go Launcher, called S Go Launcher. This new launcher will allow the user to further customize the phone’s home screens and to replace standard ICS icons with ones of the owners chosing. Also included is ‘Photo Editor’, ‘Beta Font’ for font sizing, and a ‘Snapshot’ feature that allows for taking pictures while filming video.

As far as the Galaxy S II goes, applying the Samsung UI was the main reason for the update. Although a few new features have been added such as Face Unlock, Snapshot, Image Editor, a data usage monitoring application, and NFC powered ‘Android Beam.’

For those of you still curious as to Samsung’s update schedule, they had this to say regarding the matter:

For those waiting for the upgrade, you don’t need to worry because the ICS upgrade will be arriving successively for the GALAXY Note, GALAXY SII LTE, GALAXY S 2 HD LTE. Korean users can now receive Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, K and U, and it’s coming to GALAXY Tab (7”) S/K/U, GALAXY S Hoppin, GALAXY M Style soon.

Once there was a boy who loved a girl very much. The girl’s father however didn’t like the boy. The boy wanted to write a love letter to the girl but he was sure that the girl’s father would read it first. Nevertheless, he wrote this letter :


“This great love I said I have for you


Is gone and I find my dislikes for you


Increases everyday, when I see you

I don’t even like the way you look,


The one thing I want to do is to 


Look another way. I never wanted to 


Marry. Our last conversation 


Was very dull and in no way 


Has made me anxious to see you again.


You think only of yourself.


If we were married I know that I’d find 


Life very difficult nor would I find


Pleasure in living with you. I’ve heart


To give, but it is not a heart


I want to give you, No one is more


Demanding or selfish than you and less


Able to care for me and helpful to me


I sincerely want you to understand that


I speak the truth. You will do me a favor


If you consider to put this to an end. Do not cry


To answer this. Your letters are full of 


Things that do not interest me.


True concern for me. Goodbye! Believe me 


I don’t care for you. Please don’t think 


I am still yours”


The girl’s father read the letter, was very happy and gave it to his daughter. His daughter read the letter and was very happy too.


“CAN YOU ANSWER WHY WAS SHE HAPPY”
