boosook, 14 Mar 2013LOL! That "dated" OS is much more powerful than t... moreYeah this is hilarious coming from Apple, who's software hasn't changed since... well it never changed since the first iphone...

Not surprising though from such a hypocritical company.

              By reading few pages on the comment section, it turns out that this article become a successful advertisement for Galaxy S4.

              Keep it up girls and boys.

                That's actually a well balanced article, usually these articles lean towards one OS and bash the other - it's refreshing to see a balance. Pros and Cons on both ends.

                Looking forward to benchmarks between the S4 and the iPhone 5, and the HTC One and the Xperia Z (I don't ask for much lol).

                            LOL! That "dated" OS is much more powerful than their latest release of iOS. And it will be upgraded to Android 5 when it will be available. Btw, if you buy an iPhone now it has a dated OS too, since iOS was relesed in october. They're just scared and they're trying to bash competitors since they cannot come out with something better.

Twice is the maximum charge per day for a hi end android phone. I own an s3 and i charge it once a day for normal usage and twice if im downloading many movies and songs and heavy apps or playing games.

                                  Indeed what's called the president of MARKETING.

                                  obviously this is a marketing strategies to turn down

                                  the hype of a birth of the new Galaxy Lineup that's

                                  circulating the technology world now. but if

                                  andriod's jb 4.2 is an dated OS, i guess president of

                                  marketing you mean iOS should be put in the museum

                                  for being the same since the birth of iphone? Oh no

                                  wait! maybe not because the iphone 5 has got an extra

                                  row of icons!

                                    Oh Come on Apple, even my friend's updated iPhone still don't have file management, can't transfer files via bluetooth to other non iPhone devices. Download / copy to and from your iphone such as photos, movies, music can't be done without iTunes. Can't use your iphone to act as portable storage, Multitasking?

                                    My android and BlackBerry can do those things out of the box. Android 2 years old OS? you're OS is 5 years old already right?

                                    Just accept the fact that you're having a hard time catching up, Android is getting better and better.
