Samsung hopes to boost the appeal of its upcoming Galaxy S5 smartphone by offering a slew of free premium app subscriptions with the handset. Prospective S5 owners will get more than $500 worth of “Galaxy Gifts” with their new phone when it hits store shelves in April. As you might expect, some of the apps included in the free app bundle have lame written all over them, while others are a pretty good deal. The Galaxy S5 will come with a year’s subscription to RunKeeper Elite ($20), a free 6-month subscription to The Wall Street Journal ($160), three months of Evernote Premium ($15), three months of LinkedIn Premium ($75) and a year’s subscription to Bloomberg Businessweek+ ($30).
