Honestly though, its not that big a factor. Its down to whether we like the devices that matter more for us.
Android has file browser apps that let you move files around your phone and the network. It's just like using windows with cut n paste etc. You can also install a uPnP app like Mediahouse and you can stream any movies, photos and music from your pc. Or your NAS if you don't even want to switch the pc on.
If you want to continue to use iTunes there's apps that use Airsync for wireless syncing. I find that I don't use iTunes as much.
Think the OP is fully aware of that!!
Actually that goes with the points i've put in the other thread anyway. A file browser and DLNA are things the iphone doesn't have which S3 does.
So the file browser can see network shares too? Its like moving into the modern networked home all over again!
I remember about that, but i dont have a musical bone in my body so dont need that.
The iphone has the wonderful XBMC media streamer client though.... If you jailbreak!
That is the most outrageous statement. Android 4.1.1 can be as simple as you like or as complicated as you like. A stock S3 is simple to use, even simpler to download onto or drag and drop files onto. This argument that Android is complicated, or the S3 is technical to use is nonsense.

Nonsense, everything has a learning curve, once you GET IT, you GOT IT. I know many NON techie friends who have Android phones. Hell it has the biggest market share of any OS out there.
That's an awful lot of techies!!

<screams> :eek:
My Son and I thought we would be getting plenty of texts or phone calls asking this n that about it.
Now, when I say she is thick as shit when it comes to technical things, I mean, she actually is dumber than dumber about tech stuff.
She couldn't even install Kies on her laptop. That's how technically minded she isn't!
However, after using her S3 for around 1 1/2 hours on her own, she texted me and told me how much she liked the phone and how easy it was to use. She had even learned how to text by swiping lol
So, there you have it. It took her around 1 1/2 hours to get comfortable with the S3!
Hardly "more for people who like things technical and complicated.":rolleyes:
Well i didn't dare not have a cover for my iphone, but with the S3 having it as the manufacturer intended is actually a possibility! At least it wont come scratched out of the box.
Lol, that is one pile of shite i wont miss!
Take your pick:

For those who can't be bothered to watch any of them, the common theme is the iPhone withstands much higher knocks and drops than the S3 before breaking, but the rigid aluminium of a iP5 does show small nicks & dings more prominently than the more flexible plastic of an S3. So I guess it depends on how to define "durable".
Don't forget iTunes is a store, not just an app.
Sure, but they seem to have made the iOS app store a mess as well now. Scrolling from app to app is hit and miss now.
Is Google Play store better? Serious question; I don't know.
My S3 can sync with iTunes over wireless with my PC and also it can automatically sync over the mobile network so my photos etc are backed up to Dropbox along with being able to backup to Dropbox (get a free 50gb of Dropbox space free for 2 years with the S3 - not sure how much online storage you get with the iPhone).
