You can only tweak a 12 year old OS by so much. Sure there are incremental improvements which is rapidly becoming an "apple hallmark", but they still left much to be desired in this latest release.

Who's catching up to who?
Apple is introducing a smaller tablet.
Apple has yet to introduce 4G
Apple has yet to introduce NFC
Apple still uses tiny screens on their phones.
Android has all this and more. Period.
Remember when Apple used to be 1 year ahead of everybody? It appears they are 1 year behind now.
When i5 is released, it will already be outdated upon launch.

Personally, I couldn't care less about a smaller tablet, the full size iPad is the perfect size for me.
Don't know how many 4G phone reviews I've read where the reviewer has to turn off 4g so the battery doesn't die in a flash
NFC, what practical use do you have for NFC right now?
I'm quite content with my tiny screen, compensating? I don't want a 5" screen in my pocket
Downloading now. $20 for a major OS revision, hard to beat that

No one is catching up to Apple,they are leaving Apple in their dust. Watch the new iPhone will be less then the galaxy s3
I love these dumb comments about us not liking Apple crap because we can't afford it. I said it once before, I make enough money to afford anything apple makes, I make more money in a day then the cost of an iPad, in fact I could buy 2 I pads with the money I made yesterday, so that is a week comment, from someone that knows their chosen devices are losing ground. I choose to spend my money on real technology not junk. My iconia is so much better then an iPad, full size USB, HDMI, more solid then ipad, and ics , soon to be jelly bean, by far a new standard in OS. My Nexus S, again by far better then iPhone, with what is the best OS hands down, jelly bean. APPLE IS THE NEW RIM.

Apple now wants to give the consumer the option of technology and portability thats out there and if they are thinking of doing it, its because there is a market for it and they want in! Thats what Apple is good at, not creating new stuff, marketing stuff into peoples hands.
iPad mini will be easier for someone who's looking for an easy-to-carry ereader/gamepad/watch movies for travel. Id be scared shietless to bring an ipad on a trip as it would make me a target to have it stolen due to its high resale value lol
I have a Galaxy Nexus, it has 4G (not LTE) and the battery will last me the whole day without charging. The S3 has an even better battery than mine and is definitely 4G LTE and will outlast my phone charge-wise (stock against stock of course)
NFC is a technology for the future. In the meantime i like sharing pics, vids, links, apps, contacts, different info through my NFC phone with my buddies! And the banks are starting to put it as one of their priorities.
And finally my 4.65" screen makes it easier to click on stuff when browsing the internet (without always having to zoom in) the typing is incredible due to more space for the letter, and when i want to watch a video with people well the quality is mind-blowing.
But of course. For different consumers, different needs! I understand that.
Dude.... get your head out of the iClouds......
It appears Apple missed their payments to every media and tech website on the web. :lmao:
Its not just this thread that agrees Apple is the next Rim.
Here's another report from Reuters/Globe and Mail :
Video: Apple plays catch up
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repo...e-plays-catch-up/article4184603/?from=4440846
They simply aren't leaders anymore.....unless you consider a new 19pin "smaller connector" to replace the 30pin current dock connector on the next iPhone as true apple innovation. :lmao:
Apple..... fine purveyors of outdated, overpriced "70s technology".
:laughing3:
Poor people problems
Lol sony and acer... Those two have no idea how to properly build and market successful products.
Apple invented the smartphone as you know it. They invented the tablet as you know it. They revolutionized the industry.
Luxury products for the discerning buyer. The rest is all Kia and Hyundai.

I think there is a market for a cheap ~$200 tablet, at the end of the day I don't think portability really comes into play. A $200 purchase is a lot easier to make for most people than a $500 purchase. I might even pickup a Nexus tablet to play around with. A 7" tablet is not anymore portable than a 10" tablet, it still won't fit into any pockets that I have.
Your Galaxy Nexus without LTE is no more 4G than my iPhone. Technically by the true 4G definition, we do not have any 4G products yet, but WiMax and LTE come close enough. Here's from Engaget's review of the Galaxy Nexus LTE (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/verizon-galaxy-nexus-review/)
"And then there's the battery life. It's well known that LTE can put a real hurting on phone longevity and that appears to be the case here as well, our Nexus struggling to hold on to a charge in day-to-day use with all antennas firing. We've as of yet had very limited time with the thing, but in our 24 hours of intensive testing we had to reach for the charger multiple times. Using Google Navigation with LTE enabled? The battery drained so fast our in-car charger couldn't keep up, leaving us unsure of which exit to take off the 101."
The Galaxy S 3 is the first LTE phone I've read about with good enough battery life on LTE.
NFC is going to be great, at this point it's pretty much useless.
Of course a bigger screen is better for certain things, I would much rather a phone that fits easily into my pants.
You are correct in that different people have different needs. A Note makes sense for some people as well, but even a lot of Android users find it ridiculous
+ 1 billion
just switched from iphone4s to S3...loving life
100x the phone and software.
who was i trying to fool staying with apple so long...
however if there are any ICS pro's here...Siri would work over BT, but S-voice does not...
how the hell can i fix that? i posted on XDA and androidforums with no luck or replys...seems common.

Yup, i agree with pretty much everything you just mentionned
Just wanna clarify that they reviewed it with android OS 4.0.2... the newer versions (4.0.4) have improved the battery greatly and jelly bean makes it a new phone. Stock Jelly Bean(4.1) lasts me as long as my tweaked up Galaxy Nexus which means unplugging at 8 AM and only needing to plug it in at 1030 pm (ish)
I call, i browse, i text a lot, i watch videos i use both wi-fi and the data connection...
As for fitting in pockets, i wear dress pants at work (tighter fit) and it fits perfectly in my pocket, and its actually thinner than the iphone. And say a 7" tablet has more chances of fitting in a ladie's purse as well so you'll see those ladies carrying their tablets with them more! Any woman will tell you 3 inches makes a difference (thats what she said!)
Yeah those galaxy notes and what not are for a certain type of customer, thats for sure, not for me! lol

Apple has a lot more NFC ideas than just a Wallet app
July 26, 2012 at 8:24 am
9to5Mac report
last month that prototypes of the next iPhone contained Near Field Communications hardware. The tech could obviously be used with the PassBook app to create some wallet-type functionality, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.The US Patent & Trademark Office published more patent applications today from Apple that indicated the company envisioned much more NFC capabilities than a Wallet app. The company apparently filed the applications between 2009 and 2010, and the graphics depict an iPhone interacting and controlling everything from a television and DVR to a standalone camera and a projector.Patently Apple detailed the patent applications:

Our report mainly focuses on the new system as it relates to an iDevice controlling and interacting with a possible standalone television in addition to an expanded version of Apple’s current Apple TV styled device. The updated Apple TV could one day control cable or satellite television programming and video game play via a video game controller. This would really be a boost for Apple if users were able to play high end RPG video styled games with a standard styled controller. Further, Apple’s invention runs deep and they envision NFC ready iDevices being able to control standalone cameras, projectors, in-home security systems, lawn sprinkler systems, your thermostat, garage door and more. One of these fine days, future iDevices will finally support NFC; and when they do – watch out, because Apple will open the floodgates and release a new generation of applications noted in this report and others like their forthcoming iWallet. Will Apple’s next generation iPhone 5 finally be the one that will introduce NFC? Only time will tell.
Apple’s patent application included more than 150 illustrations, so it is immediately clear the folks in Cupertino are not just eyeing the credit card/payments market. Earlier this month, 9to5Mac published another NFC-related report that indicated Apple visualized the tech integrated in an iTravel app for speedier check-in and ticketing identification.
