      I hear some had the same issue prior, when transitioning from smoke signals to the telegraph.

        Because Galaxy S4 and Note 3 doesn't have FM radio function, Im not interesting of buying them. I just keep my S3 until S5 with a FM radio hopefully.

          Siri is a name made up from the acronym of those who actually developed it (SRI - Stanford Research International) hence SiRI.

          Apple did not "invent" anything, they just bought it right before it got released to everyone else.

                        S4 is on the top of the selling charts, but they say it is not selling good enough. Seriously?

                          Think you'll find there is no patent for an iWatch. There are patents which could be used in an iWatch but not for the device itself.

                          Also you'll find history littered with smart watches including IBM working on a linux watch with bluetooth in the early 2000s. It was discontinued before it went on sale.

                          I don't think you can claim that Apple, Samsung, Sony or Pebble invented the smart watch. If anyone it was probably Casio or Seiko(Pulsar) - even Timex would have a better claim.

                            It's because Galaxy S(hit) are becoming more and more generic. Redudancy and market saturation is now Samsung's biggest problem.
                            It gives you the Exynos...then there's the Snapdragon(600). But wait, there's more. The Snapdragon(800), the mini, the Activ and the 9502 variant...and so on and so forth Galaxy S(hit)4 lol

                              The only success for Galaxy series is Exynos!
                              This is why SIII and Note II were hits! unlike S4 and Note III with those laggy chips S800 and S600.

They COPIED how samsung has been organizing toggles for years. Curtain and all. They would've heard from Samsung lawyers, if Samsung were as petty as Apple is.

                                  Oh crap, the article is funny, does it mean we have to expect Galaxy S4 to maintain its sale between 8 to 10 million every months? come on,it just drops to 5 million after it has been out for 6 months now @_@.

                                    What is with this article??
                                    Should be titled " Galaxy S4 still a top seller, but the rate is slowing down".
                                    Facts:
                                    - It is BY FAR the best selling android device ever.
                                    - Its sales are still ALMOST TWICE BETTER than those of the second best selling Android device ever - the Samsung Galaxy S3.
                                    - It has been on the market for almost 6 months now.

                                    ..and the article somehow paints the picture of trouble for Samsung??
                                    What, their half year old device should still be selling like in the first months of availability??
                                    Samsung are raking in unprecedented amounts of money because of their smartphone sales and will report over 9billion in profit for that quarter.
                                    Yeah, let's call trouble for them!!

                                      I used to use VLingo on my very old Nokia in 2009, which did the same sort of thing as Siri only nowhere near as well, but the idea was definitely there.

                                      VLingo went on to power S-Voice and Vlingo was bought by Nuance.

                                      Nuance now partner with Apple to provide the voice recognition software for Siri.

                                      I have no idea who is copying whom here but it looks to me as though Nuance have a chunk of both markets, excepting the large chunk owned by Google, which in turn supplies to iOS devices.

                                      Things aren't always as simple as people like to believe.

                                        S4 have no FM-radio, and no FM-radio = no buy for me! S3 with Boeffla Kernel is more than good enough for me, but S5 with metal boby and ability to survive "droptests", and FM-radio and larger than 3000 mAh battery, would make me into a buyer again!
