Inventory delays (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/23/online-availability-of-t-mobiles-galaxy-s-4-pushed-to-april-29th/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) may stifle prospective Galaxy S 4 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/24/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) owners, but such pesky hurdles appear to have little effect on Android's development community.
