    in software industry you have to upgrade your knowledge from time to time. And all the old dogs know that.

    Microsoft has exceled in the development of a natural user interface. Cortana is the world's best speech recognition software. It is connected directly to the internet for voice database. it has a huge library of speech api's. The development using visual studio is also much easier than that for android.

      It is obvious that Samsung blatantly copied Apple with this move no one can deny it. All you can come up with is half arguments that fingerprint recorgnition came way before that and it is true but that doesnt change who copied whom. But I don't feel like bashing Samsung as a brand. Everyone had its ups and downs. I love the Note lineup I hope they focus hardly on that in the future and don't put there the gimmicks of the G5. I myself own a Note 2 but it's rooted because touchwiz slowed things down with the time or maybe it was the fault of the processor. I have tried the new Note and it really is the obvious superior phablet to go for. the Galaxy S3 was the best smartphone in Samsung's history and I wish they would build their legacy on that. But they consumerized it to much with the S4 and now S5 .

This goes back in the day when Microsoft was trying too hard to set a foothold on the "mobile smartphone/tablet market ". This was called like many others back in the day a "Pocket PC" but basically it is almost the size of the Nexus 7 with a mobile 32 bit version of Vista.


                    As for the Touch ID this is an article on 27th of July by "The Telegraph" in 27 July 2012. You can read on the article the date and or days Apple buys AuthenTec biometrics company.

                    PS : The first link sends you to gsmarena the second is to the Telegraph both are legit news sites so don't worry.

                            As a software developer i will go for a platform with better api's and support for consumers so it is a no go for me . I'll save my money for now and wait for nokia to release windows phone 8.1 device. Because it has cortana. And future of computing is natural user interface.

Did Motorola invent the fingerprint scanner or hold the pantents for every scanning technology ? IApple actually had bought a company that worked on biometrics1 year and a half before they released Touch ID probably because they were serious about it. If that was the case HTC should have done that since theyy came up with that long before them with HTC Shift and they were similar sensors. I am saying that is obvious where they got the hint and everybody knows that
