that explains the possible future release of Jelly Bean on the original SGS3

Well this may complicate my next smartphone decision will have to see how the display looks in person not too thrilled with the resolution but it may look better in person.

There are a good amount of people out there who want to go to S3 but don't like the size, my bro likes the size of his iphone4 and wanted to go to android so he was thinking about getting the S3 but he didnt like the size/design so much, he was also looking at the Nexus and the One X for size and feeling so the S3 mini could be for those who don't want a "bigger" phone but still a good phone.

I agree (although the Nexus isn't that much smaller). I think they really should have bumped the res though, 800x480 isn't going to look so hot on a 4" display.
