No this is not an error Apple bought powervr 535 and rebranded them "apple powervr 545" to make them look more powerful than the samsung new powervr 540.
Shame on apple for rebranding at higher naming a lower grade powervr.
That said the powervr 540 is what allows the Galaxy S to run ANY game THRICE faster than the iphone 4. Hell the SGS can even run playstation games under emulation PSX4droid app. rofl...

This review forgets to mention that :
Galaxy S : 90 million polygons per second (powervr 540)
Iphone 4 : 30 million (powervr 545)
So the 3D performance score is obviously won by the GSG.

Oh and I've had three iPhones. I think that I qualify as knowing how to use phones, as for you I couldn't possibly comment.

How about realizing this: The iPhone4 is a good phone and so is the Galaxy S. They both have apps that people like and want. That is, if you could wrap your brain around such a concept?

Just accept the idea that some people want a phone with games and a few other useful features, and others want a laptop replacement with a billion poorly implimented features, since they never leave their mothers basement anyway.
Android is for the latter group.

Every new games will come out on the SGS android as well as Iphone why ?
Because the Iphone powervr graphic processor (powervr 545) is capable of 30 million triangles per second.
The SGS one (powervr 540) is capable of 90 million triangles per second.
For your information a PSP is 30 million triangles per second.
Samsung sold the crappy powervr to apple, and jobs was glad he ordered them, so that he could sell crappier GPU chip (rebranded powervr 545) to his worshippers at a phenomenal overpricing.
No this is not an error Apple bought powervr 535 and rebranded them "apple powervr 545" to make them look more powerful than the samsung new powervr 540.
Shame on apple for selling what is as powerful as a powervr 535-37 as a powervr 545.
That said the powervr 540 is what allows the Galaxy S to run ANY game THRICE faster than the iphone 4. Hell the SGS can even run playstation games under emulation PSX4droid app. rofl...

These days, no manufacturer tends to go for the quality, but for the number, that leads to big sales at first and then when users see the problems of the different terminals they don`t buy them anymore. If there where no problems with the handsets the selling would still continue to increase. IMO. I would choose the SGS everyday, over the iPhone 4. The only thing I like about iPhone 4 is that they have more support from game makers, for example Street Figher 4, although the SGS would run the game without problems, the game makers will not make a version for SGS, wich is stupid. But overall, SGS is the one for me.

A much more reasonable comparison of the video player would have been to compare the time it took to load the test video into the Galaxy (no conversion needed) to the time it took to get the same into the iPhone (convert into a compatible format, load into iTunes). Case closed.

Please, if you have not owned a Samsung mobile don't make assumptions. If you do, maybe you didn't take care of your phone that well.

Wow are people talking about resale value? Are you guys serious? How can resale value be a positive thing? How many phones do Apple make? Currently, only three. Now compare that to Samsung Mobile. How many phone models do Samsung sell? A lot!
Why is Samsung Galaxy S resale value is lower than Apple? Because Samsung keeps on releasing new phones every now and then with improved and better specifications. Therefore, the market price of the already released phone falls in Samsung brand as it trumps down their specs.
Apple iPhone on the other hand? They make a new phone every two years or so. So they can control the market price to whatever they want because no new phones will be coming out sooner. That is why resale value is still high. Furthermore, iOS can only be found in Apple products. If Apple opens up the iOS to other phone brands, I'm pretty sure the price of iPhone will be adjusted to the other competition that uses iOS. But guess what? Only Apple iPhone and iPad is using iOS.
