My home screen with the Halloween Michael Myers live wallpaper.
That's a cool live wallpaper isn't it!

Sorry, didn't mean to be as harsh as it appeared. Thing is, I was referring to a trend that we see all the time: When iOS doesn't have a feature, users don't miss it. When they have it, they think it is the best thing since sliced bread.
It happened when the iphone 4S came without 4G, for instance, people rationalized their purchase of the 4S by saying that 4G wasn't yet a "mature technology". Then, they announced 4G, and the whole audience clapped like little children. I shouldn't complain too much about it though, coz my Apple stock is safe as long as this continues to happen .
We'll see. Maybe, when iOS introduces widgets, or NFC, or ...

How old are you, 11?
LOL
Seasonal wallpapers are for girls.
Swype is the bee's knees. I wish it was just baked into every android phone. Damn android fragmentation!

Completely redesigned amazing product with a gorgeous tall display.
When you think of the iPhone, it's probably the object you use the most in your life. And when you think about what you do with it, as you hold this extraordinarily thin and gorgeous object with its unprecedented fit and finish in your hand, you always pick it up and touch the screen with your thumb. This is why they extracted the purest essence of the user experience and transformed it into the new single-button interface. The lush purity and sublime beauty of this interface seems to counterpoint the sophistication of the technological underpinnings and circumvent the irrevocable vulgarization of the stream of subconscious thought imperative to the reflectiveness upon which the chamfered diamond cut edge of your mind celebrates the now of the future.
I use widgets all the time, and can't imagine not having them. It seems silly to have to go into settings and apps when you can toggle Wifi, GPS, brightness, bluetooth (or Airplane Mode) with a single touch. These sit on my home screen.
Yes, I have the weather widget, and the people widget and the calendar widget on my other screens, with nice high-res pictures of my favorite contacts. These aren't very fancy widgets, so there is no perceptible battery drain, in that I go through a day and a half with no problems.
Whoever gave the HTC Thunderbolt example should know that this was the worst LTE phone in terms of battery life. Nearly all other phones are better. BTW, people talking about folders on IOS, you do know that folders are available on Android too, right?
That said, iOS is improving in terms of giving users quick access to data. E.g., Notifications used to suck royally, but now, iOS has an android-style dragdown which works pretty nicely.
Thank you, folders have been available on Android since ICS i believe.
I still prefer the Android multiple home screens though; i think the iOS standard one screen is tedious and binding; and not even symetrical!!! The iphone commercials trip me out when it shows the one home screen that is not even full, with space left at the bottom
Since when is iOS standard one screen? You can make it more if you want. I also prefer the one screen. Its just organized and faster.
I think you can do up to 8 side screens unless they increased it in the latest iOS6.
It needs 8 screens, as the screen is so small.
Did anyone else pay attention to the WP8 event yesterday? I'm very interested in the software and the hardware (Lumia 920) also looks amazing.
If they can get all the top apps developed, I'd strongly consider a Windows Phone when I'm eligible for an upgrade.
I have a hitting partner who works for Nokia. He's insanely excited about this phone. I did ask him whether he'll turn up one day and find a handset on his desk; he said not, but that he was able to buy one and charge it to his cost centre.
The biggest weakness is clearly going to be lack of apps... just how big a weakness that is remains to be seen. With Blackberry heading south, it would be good to have a genuine third competitor again. And I've always had a soft spot for Nokia - my first mobile was the iconic 3210. God, that was a good phone...
Its been 4 weeks with my S3 and wife and daughter with their I5
I've messed with theirs....they've messed with mine. I wouldn't go back to my old iPhone for anything. They love theirs...however my daughter admits she would love to have live wallpapers like I do for different seasons. Some great Halloween ones, and I showed her the many Christmas ones. She wants the Frosty the Snowman and Roudolf n so bad.
Both are great phones. But you all know........mine is better!!!!!
Never used Siri and never will. Don't need any kind of voice guided search crap. Gimmick. Unnecessary for me.
Thanks though!
I have never in my life seen someone talking into their phone to an invisible friend asking how to get to Denny's or the strip club.
But if people use it more power to them.
Google works for me or the 100 other location aware apps I have already.
I use AroundMe all the time. I just type in art framer and I get all the frame shops around me to take my Neiman GOAT paintings to for framing.
Bwahaha I love that vid.
I actually think Apple will see a huge downturn in the next 2 years.
That $700 stock is going to fall hard in the next 6 months.
But I still love my 5.
For people with Android devices, has anyone tried to watch flash tennis streams on their phones? Do they work smoothly?
I am watching Paris coverage on Lshunter.tv and I would love to have a device on which I can watch streamed tennis events. The iphone is utterly useless in this regard.
Justin.tv for iPhone is epic for live tennis streemz.
is it?
could i watch all tournys like i watch regular streams (500/1000 events)?
or it's only good for main broadcastin events like GSs?
*in fact, if you have it, could you take a screenshot of a current match (if you have time and patience of course)
I have justin.tv and occasionally you can find a decent stream on their. It is nothing like lshunter.tv where you can find multiple streams for any particular match in a neat and organized list.
Oh, and to top it off, Justin.tv costs 5 dollars in the app store. I got it like years ago when it was cheaper.
that's what i was thinking. if anyone can prove it wrong i might think about it.

ESPN3? That is sick! If ESPN3 works than Lshunter will surely work.ESPN 3 works great on my Rezound. I get 720 p resolution! Watching Almagro playing right now. I've never tried Lshunter on my phone...

Man, I'm really thinking about getting an Android device after my contract ends.
ESPN has an app for the iPhone where I can get ESPN3. I love it for watching college football on the go.
Genuine question, what do iPhone people see on the following page? It should be a video of a woman talking.

iPhones don't have flash. No news there. I had it on my android for years and don't miss it at all. For people who think flash is a deal breaker, android is a great option.
Yeah, it never works for me. Stupid rules by my internet/provider. It works great on my laptop, but not on my phone.
I
Flash is moving towards HTML5, so eventually Steve Jobs plan of killing Flash will work.
I go directly to the ESPN 3 site and watch thru the browser. The ESPN app is available but my ISP does not participate, but it does for ESPN3
Yea, but until then Apple peeps will have to suffer...
