Samsung has blatantly made fun of the new Apple iPhone 5 today with an ad that will start running in national newspapers beginning tomorrow.
The ad shows off the specs of the Galaxy S III against the new iPhone 5, although it really isn't a competition.
Furthermore, the ad starts with "It doesn't take a genius," a clear message that one phone is superior to the other, while also referencing ... [ read the full article ]

Can you please tell me how to attach a document to the 10 page email I've just finished typing on my iPad3? :( I never did figure out how to do it on my iPhone4s either ...
My workplace just gave me a new Samsung Galaxy S3 and to be completely honest, after thinking that nothing could possibly beat iOS products, I am blown away and will never EVER go back to any Apple product until they come out with something innovative and useful. I can type an email and attach as many documents as I want to it on my Android ... the screen is beautiful ... the phone is fast ... the OS design with "Widgets" is beautiful and functional compared to the ugly and basic iOS I was used to using for so many years ... I found some amazingly awesome free apps like "Pulse" (to update various news feeds into 1), and Google maps which is free (free?!!?) and actually speaks to you when you're driving ... I was blown away when I was looking for a particular house on a street, and glanced at my phone to see the Google Street-view picture of the house on the screen!!!
Here's how I see the "bigger picture":
- Blackberry was the original innovator
- Apple copied, improved upon, and became the "peoples champion"
- Googles android rose up from the ashes and has begun to break the back of Apples stranglehold of the market
- All the while Microsoft has been consolidating and building various parts of its business model ... and it's all coming together with Windows 8.
In 5 years time I see:
- Microsoft at #1 for businesses
- Google Android at #1 for consumers
- Apple trailing quite far behind struggling to "innovate" and gain additional followers ... they'll likely end up being a "niche" product once again and might need to target minority groups such as homosexuals to stay afloat.
I hope hardware vendors such as HTC and Nokia keep going too ... because they make beautiful phones :) My boss has always been an avid Apple fanboy since day 1 ... but over the past few weeks he's been talking about ditching his iPhone and getting a Nokia Lumia 920 with Win8 !! Wow ...

LMAO, very funny but naughty.
Maybe they could go with the slogan ' we're here, we're queer, we're the Apple ringing in you ear, get used to it'?

Pepsi vs Coke
Everyone knows Coke is the real thing but will drink Pepsi when they can't get Coke.

Hey mate
You said google maps is free . im not sure how that all works
i wanted to use google maps multiple times , but my provider here
in Canada , tells me it uses up my data (maybe even alot they said)
So ive avoided using it . Once you go over your account allowed
data even by a .01 , its 10 dollars a gig . Owch so im strict within
my plan
So is this free google maps perhaps something free from your provider or in your country ? id use google maps a heck of alot
if it was TOTALLY free
Cheers

It is 100% free. It isn't a subscription service (unlike other mapping providers), you pay no money for the service (unlike other mapping providers), it is FREE (unlike other mapping providers). You don't even need to log in... unlike other mapping providers.
The only way it costs is IF you go over your data allowance. But then, if you use anything, even browsing, you run that risk. G-Maps is the same as any data you download in that respect. But in and of itself, it is a no cost, no sign up, service.
Edit:
Some mobile service providers do deals that allow unlimited data use for some things. So that your data allowance isn't used by those activities. Mapping or social networking are typical on various deals.

I also believe Google maps on the phone will still operate if you turn your data "off" ... but you'll lose some of the interesting functionality such as street view. It should operate via GPS ... I used to use the Google maps app on my iPhone without data turned on (GPS is free :)), however unfortunately google stripped that app down to the bare minimum so it doesn't "dictate" to you whilst driving :( ... the Android version is much better ...

Does anyone, even the bitter Apple haters on this website, believe this? For every 10 apps projects started, 7 are for iOS. iOS first, Android (maybe) leter. But it is not just the quantity or the fact that iOS is the platform of choice...
Keep in mind while saying something like this, that iOS has a market share around 30-33% while Android makes up over 50% so I guess the platform of choice is Android.
