Yeah, we get it. You are also the one that said HSPA is good enough and don't need the LTE speeds we see today. :lol:

iTunes!!!!!!!!!!
It freaks me out when people say they wanna get rid of iTunes!!! But then i can only think, it is because they are using another OS(Windows,Etc), where it might take a while to load, plus recognizing the devices takes a bit too,....whereas on Mac Computers, it is almost instant on both instances...oh well!!!!
Also see quote below, which relates.
I have a Samsung S3, and i rely on itunes a lot for my media, plus transfers to my devices...I use Doubletwist to do the transfers for my S3..i just organize my Libraries/Playlists with iTunes first. Doubletwist is the iTunes for Android.
I like my stuff organized. i use a Mac. I have iPads, iPods, Apple TV. So it makes sense for me to use iTunes. Plus iTunes is the best, many people use it, also DJ's.
iTunes have playlists which is cleaner than having folders, as you can see in CruisnGrrl quote below...
In iTunes you can choose what playlist or smart playlist you want to add to a certain device, by a simple checkmark before syncing.
Now i use Smart Playlists on iTunes that also have "live updating", which is better than regular playlists...you should try it!!!
Playlists explained in my next post.
No what i meant by drag and drop is getting rid of itunes altogether.
Many other phones have folders like a usb stick. You connect the phone to the computer, open it from my My Computer and just paste your music without all the itunes nonsense. ALso why playlists? For most phones, you just create a folder structure like Music\Classical\Beethoven and thats that. All from My Computer lol I could definitely do without the annoying itunes

So you have to duplicate a track to drop it into a newer folder(playlist) to hear that track....which is crazy....considering i have about 20 playlists, and one track is added to about five of them, whereas you will have to duplicate the track 5 times for those folders(playlists/structures you speak of). I see a few of my music apps on android, have "add to playlist" feature, but i don't use them, because i am already setup.

Re: iTunes!!!!!!!!!!
Smart playlist vs playlist
How to create a smart playlist...2 options, 2nd is found at the bottom left of iTunes.
Differences - see icons to the left of names.
Now this playlist is a default smart playlist, known as "My Top Rated", the screenshot below shows how it was created, very simple.
see first row - rating - is greater than - 3 stars....which you can change to 4 stars if you wish by editing the existing "my top rated" smart playlist as you see fit. Also second row states - media kind - is - music....if you notice, they all have drop down menus, which is loaded with different options to your liking, and if you notice far right the minus/plus...minus can remove a row, plus will add a new row. You can have as many rows as you like, to suit the playlist you are creating or editing.
You can limit your playlist items(i do not use this option)...just leave it un-checked.
To have iTunes continually modify your Smart Playlist as songs are added to or removed from your library, select "Live updating."
as you can see drop down menu can consist of many option
like if i wanna use this one below, using "comments" in a track info...i would add amazon to my track info(shown below too)
track info, how to
delete &cover and put amazon
so many options to play with....also a few links to help with learning the uses below.

Re: iTunes!!!!!!!!!!
In itunes i use grouping and comments a lot, when i add music to my iTunes.
You can right click to show/add grouping menu to column tab
Plus i do this, to keep all my files in one place...so others can be deleted, because itunes stores it separately.
Done.

So been playing with iOS 7 it reminds me of the changes from osx 10.4 to 10.5. It doesn't seem any slower although I think there's more multitasking going on, haven't tried it with lots of apps in the background. The new Facebook app is different, not sure it flows better
Stopped by an Apple store today hoping they had stock which of course they didn't. For those wondering,
- The black is now a medium grey, not as nice as the old black but should show scratches less
- The gold is seriously nice, it's a really light champagne tone that looks great in person, the ring around the home button is colour matched. If I wasn't stuck in my tradition of black iphones, I would get this
- White is white, same as before.

You know you can adjust the text size with the volume buttons right?
Unbelievable. Just for a phone spray painted in Gold.
Wish I could be there to see the looks on people faces when they open the box, and/or stand in line for 3 days and then figure out the new phone is pretty much the same as the iPhone 5 they were using. :lol:
Well, well, well.... teardowns reveal that the iP5S indeed uses a Sony image sensor. Well done.
Also, after some exploring, I was seriously impressed by the A7 chip, but apparently teardowns show that Samsung makes this chip? (somebody can correct me if I'm wrong).

You people need to stop complaining already.
For decades Apple has spent millions of marketing dollars to brand itself as a lifestyle and more than just a gizmo. Low and behold the strategy works very well. It's not about having the superior technical product but rather the added value as perceived by the consumer. One thing to be said about Apple - the things it does do, it does extremely well. I.e. Camera, apps, work smoothly across all Apple products.
