MisterCats, 08 Jan 2013Lately I've been harboring a TON of interest in the iPhone ... moreWhat exactly that interests you about 4S? As for video, O player HD is a good player, i've use it to play ave, and even mkv, and supported srt subtitles files too..but i'm not familiar with DAC..

Anyway, for the record..i think that Newstand (i'm Nat Geo Magz subscriber) interactive magz and iBooks interactive produts are among the most awesome invention in media consumption ever made (iBooks even let you create one, many medicine practicioner used iBooks to create interactive book as their way to enhance their teaching)..yet Apple somehow doesn't expliot newstand awesomeness that much in their marketing, and i think its a feature that deserve it's own section in this article..

    Lately I've been harboring a TON of interest in the iPhone 4S (long-time Android user, so please refrain from being a 12-year-old about this), if only for its great audio quality and DAC support. I may very well take that dive into iOS soon.

        "Setting up yuour android SMARTPHONE" and "Setting up your iPhone"
        Guess even GA knows the difference, n is aware of the fact that true multitasking is the essence of a smartphone
        Size difference of the articles points out the versatility of android
        Though on another note-will like to see one for WP coming too......

                Using a so called smartphone doesn't make you as smart.

                          Is this the worst trolling attempt ever? The Note 2 isn't perfect, but I'm yet to see any bug or lag for more than 3 months now.

                          On quality apps, somethe of the included ones (s-note, s-planner, paper artist, camera app and stock browser), some you can buy cheap or get for free (evernote, switch, sketchbook pro) and premium apps (Adobe's Photoshop Touch and Ideas) work like a breeze and are excellent quality.

                          You can have really crappy horrible quality apps or well built high quality apps on any platform. Troll harder. I don't even think you really have a Note II. Btw, saying an open source OS is like leaving your house door open could also qualify among world's worst analogies.

                            2 iphone's display quality is also better .
                            3 Arc s screen is better coz of its biggest size .
                            4 jailbrakin iOS is very similer to rooted Android .
                            5 Rooted Android is mutch Powerful .
                            6 iphone 4s is havy but comfortable in hands , arc s is light but not that much of comfrtable .
                            7 same apps same games with prefrence for iOS " stablity " .

                            Thanks to you too GSMArena .

                                  [deleted post]Well, the lenght of the review simply says everything. I think people who like apple and pay such high prices should be able to do more with their devices. Greetings.

                                        It seems to me Android fans are really backwards. Entire books and university lessons are dedicated to user-friendliness and to these guys, having a 50 page long user guide for a system is better than having a 10 page long guide. Weird.
