Iphone's music player lost out to galaxy simply because of itunes. Meh, that should come under connectivitiy. On the other hand i have windows media player on my pc as standard and find it utterly ridiculous to installed itunes in order to transfer music. To me, it's utter junk thats not needed. Drag and drop in usb mass storage mode would eradicate this problem. Apple just finds ways to lock people in. Itunes has decent features but not everyone needs it.

It will take a whole slew of Android phones and others to do some damage against the iPhone. Even that, Apple will be still the strongest one branded phone army in the world.

Anonymous, 11 Aug 2010Oh, cool. Any of the broken, buggy media players I want, eh... moreThere's no bug on any android media player I used so far, and there's plenty of them, for all tastes, there's even one that is the exact copy of the iphone's one minus itune fail.
Also, viruses on android ? lol, make me laugh, each app is independant in a unix like environement.
The "android has viruses" argument of applefans is even worse than the "lol antenna fail" of android fanboys because the later occurs quite at an higher rate.
Anyway if you're dumb enough to download something that is explicitly unsafe (ever read app comments because downloading it ?) that's natural selection.
I guess you're happy in your apple closed kindergarden with fences all over and Itunes because it makes you feel secure.
Now I'll leave you appleboys shed tears of frustration over a simple electronic device.

We all have heard about what has been goin on with APPLE this past few weeks, recently an executive resigned, possibly due to the incurrable issue regarding the famous AntennaGate. Well, for know i would say that Samsung Galaxy S has the full advantage to give Apple a thing or two to think about. All things that goes up must come down eventually.

truth, 10 Aug 2010Haha Samsung galaxy s is selling like a cheap phone on crai... moreApple resell value is due to :
1) Apple overpricing
2) Cult of apple
You think you're "wealthy" because you buy a 600$ iphone ? No you're not. You're just reselling your old crap 3gs for 400$ to an idiot and pumping an extra 200$ for it. And it will happen every two year. Or even every year.
If you want to keep up with the galaxy line you gotta dump as much as 300$ (100$ resell value = galaxy S in two years) for the next one.
Its the same with macbooks and PC's
Overtime macs are really cheap, anything apple is really cheap if you keep reselling it. Way cheaper than PC's or other phones.
What's costly is just the entrance ticket to steve job's world.
But ho wait, any retard can get an iphone for 200$ the first two years with a contract.
Have fun.

While on the iphone you're stuck with apple's one forever.
Especially when the iphone music player is the worst and most inconvenient one just because it relies on itunes.

And please don't delete this comment as you guys have already done it to me twice. I guess no one can input their opinion if it's against the article?

The music player on the galaxy S is objectively worse than the one on the iphone 4, if not just for sound quality, for convenience sake also.
Saying otherwise is just bias.

What a biased article. I can see many points that could of gone the iPhone way. And about the saying "don't hold the phone that way" was just blown out of proportion. As more and more people buy the iPhone 4 the more people will realize that the iPhone 4 is one the best phones out in the market. Make a judgement after you use a phone and not before. There are tons of reviews out there said it is an excellent phone. And about this article, either phone is excellent its just up to personal preference. But I felt the writer didn't give enough credit to the iPhone 4 to make a fair enough comparison.

What I read and saw here in this comparison is that the iPhone 4 has the much sharper photos, the much sharper videos, the perfect audio quality... and the Galaxy S wins? WTF!
And couse I own the Samsung Wave, I know hob bad the PenTile Matrix is, in the Galaxy S the screen is much bigger so the annoying dots are much more visible. The Super-AMOLED is a mess! I know what I'm talking about. Text appears never shapr enough on this display!
I don't own an iPhone yet, have a Samsung Wave and Nokia N86. But from what I read and what I experienced, the iPhone 4 is a clear winner to me.
