Tested Jelly Bean on it verse a i4s and it at least is competitive. I've converted a few people from iPhone4 to Android with that thing haha. But hey sometimes people like Android sometimes they like iOS. Its what suits you really. Don't be so closed minded... but then again i guess thats why you like iOS..

Based on the comments, it appears most of the bloggers are under 21. A quarter means three months and fiscal year is different from calendar year. Every company has a different fiscal year. Also revenue is different from profit or net profit. In case you haven't realized, in order to get a real job, more time should be spent learnig real and practical things aside fron games, facebook/twitter, and smarphones.
Didn't occur to me right away until I saw a comment in another site... Samsung sold 10 mil Galaxy S3 in about a month. That's just one model. Apple sold 26 mil iPhones in one quarter, or three months. That's three different models: 3gs, 4, 4s. At that rate, Samsung will sell 30 mil Galaxy S3 in 3 months. That's significantly more than iPhones, especially when it's not even during the holiday season where the sales are typically doubled or tripled. Why do you think Apple moved their new iPhone release date so close to the holiday season and got 40mil record sales last year?
Btw, why is it only one month for Samsung? Even though it was announced in May, it's been out for less then one month for the US, Asia, and rest of the world, which account for more than 80% of their sales, and less than two months for Europe, which account for less than a quarter of thier sales. Now that explains why Apple is pulling so many outlandish patent cards to slow down the competitors...
Anyway, like Walkman, Nike, Converse, and Nintendo DS, we would not be surprised to see this whole smatphone trend/fad fade away wih the skinny jeans and replaced by the next fad/trend, especially given that the consumer base is predominantly under the drinking age, who are not only easily swayed but change their habit like...

It's not Apples fault that users don't know how to use multitasking. The problem has funnily enough occured after a few months, enough time for cache and apps to slow the phone down.
At least Apple still update the 3GS, unlike the S1. (dodgy ROMS don't count I'm afraid)

You Android Fanboys don't realize that IOS customers got nothing to do with android, ALL of them can tell how laggy and complicated android is. So get over yourself.
