Quitting this topic for today.I'm sorry, was that an attempt at humor? You might want to give it another shot, that didn't quite hit the mark. You were right in one thing though...the HD screen is great..but you wouldn't know anything about that, since you can't view anything high definition on your phone....my condolences.
You forgot something....the automatic image adjustment...
BTW, the iPhone can have a higher maximum brightness, but the GS3 still has a better screen. It's not even close. Compare an HD video on the 4S and the GS3...oh wait...YOU CAN'T...you don't even have the resolution to display an HD video.
The S3 screen is only better in doing something that nobody does on a phone. Watching movies.
The iPhone screen is finer and has more pop. The retina is better for reading and browsing and eye candy.
Android screens look dull and depressing somehow. They are just not as neat looking plain and simple. The ugly pixely fonts I see on them make it worse.
It's just in the details.
I must be nobody, then, for watching videos is one of my primary uses of my phone.
I've looked at the HTC One X and the Sony Xperia S, both Androids, and their screens are hardly "dull" or "depressing." Of course, neither of them use pentile.
I prefer a non-pentile screen over a pentile one. The difference was noticable when I opened PDFs of math textbooks on my father's Samsung Galaxy Note (pentile display), vs. my iPhone 4S. The colors were off on the Galaxy Note.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I'm going to wait until the next iPhone is released. If the next iPhone has a 1280x720 non-pentile screen (size doesn't matter too much, as long it's less than 4.8") then I'll probably get it. If not, I'll have to make a decision on what I can live without, or what shortcomings I can deal with.
When you say the pentile was noticeable, please explain how it was noticeable. I'm curious as to know specifically what it was you noticed.
As I said, the colors were off. One textbook I had in PDF form is a calculus book that has some photographs, a lot of diagrams, and text that were in different colors. Also, on some pages, the background wasn't all white - a gradient effect from white to blue, for instance.
When I viewed this textbook on my father's Galaxy Note, the photographs, the diagrams, the colored text, and the backgrounds, all had a different tint to them. Unfortunately, I cannot duplicate this right now because my father returned to the US and I'm still in Korea. I'm planning on visiting my parents later this summer, so if I remember I'll copy more PDF books to my father's Galaxy Note and look again.
PS
LCD is great if you like grey blacks
Who pays attention to how black the blacks are? It's so trivial.
I didn't say most Android devices, I said
The Galaxy S series has sold 50 million units. The Galaxy Note, 7 million. It's no doubt the Galaxy S is the most popular Android phone. The original Droid sold 1.2 million units, Droid X 3.5 million, and the Droid RAZR Maxx topped the Verizon sales charts over the 4S.
As far as I know HTC doesn't release sales numbers. But if they did, it would bring the number up quite a bit. Anyway, most Android phones sold are high-end iPhone competitors. Gone are the days when Android was second rate to the iPhone.
people expecting something revolutionary are gonna be dissapointed. i dont understand what people want...
What has android been doing thats "revolutionary"? im just wondering.

I have to agree, iv tried the S3 screen and i actually prefer it over the HTC onx x display.

I highly disagree with this for too reasons. Blacks effect everything about a picture and is the basis for tuning a picture properly. Like in video games when it says "adjust so you can barely see X". And a real black makes the entire device look better if it has a black bezel because it blends into better, screen looks off when it's showing a black image.
That said my iPhone 4S isn't that bad at all, I can certainly live with it lol.

Well, erm.. widgets, and, ehm.. project butter.. well, that's two
pretty radical stuff right there

It is not that Android has been doing anything revolutionary. It is that Android has been allowing users to do what they should be able to do with their phones, rather than restrict users like Apple does for the sake of simplicity.
Apple definitely revolutionized things with the invention of the iPhone, but iOS is behind Android in a lot of key features. Android is lacking things that iOS has, such as built-in "Find my Phone" but the reason why more people go with Android than with iPhone is because quite simply, iPhone is too restrictive.
Once Apple removes those restrictions, Android is toast, but until then, Android will continue to be the place where there's room for great possibilities, while Apple does keynotes where they tout "Facebook Integration" and "attach pictures and video within the email app" as tentpole features of a major yearly iOS upgrade.

Thats fine, but im noticing some people are saying they will switch unless they see something revolutionary from iphone 5.. thats not gonna happen, they might as well switch now. In my experience i have found alot of people switch and then come running back soon after. Im sure it happens the opposite way also.
Silly article is silly...
When I was a smartphone kid I use to sweat over the actual phone, now that I'm a smartphone adult I sweat over the platform and ecosystem. I don't care so much about what the phone can do as it currently does everything I need it to do, the rest are just bells I'll never ring and whistles I'll never blow.

Iphone 5 looks to increase the screen size and 4G. Thats the only relevant thing thats needed.
apple wont make ios open source? your one smart cookie
Well, those people are just plain foolish. There's not going to be anything revolutionary coming from both Android and iPhone. There's just going to be major refinements until we start wearing phones on our heads or something.
I'd go back to iPhone if they simply stopped with their overly restrictive iOS behavior, brought their basic featureset up to parity with the old Symbian and Blackberry smartphones and made the screen wider as well as taller but looking at what seems to be happening this year, I think I made the right choice with jumping ship to Android. I'm happier with my device now than I was when I bought my first iPhone and I don't see myself going back.
Those who feel the same way I do should be looking at other phones. It doesn't have to be Android if you don't trust Google, guys. Hell I don't fully trust Google myself. People need to just start looking elsewhere, instead of waiting for Apple to do something new each year. Vote with your dollars, folks.
Im not a fanboy, but whatever Apple is doing works for me at the moment. Do I want 4G, hell yes but can I live without it? YES. The 4S has been quick enough for me.
I just like the way that thought is going into every detail of the OS. If you need more personalization the Jailbreak community is plentiful and they are always working to give you awesome tweaks.
I am a basic user, but I really do not find the need to go to Android. I have tried it, but iOS is just so much more polished.
Some faults are also due to the wireless carrier such as throttling (which is the only thing that pisses me off)

I should have edited the quote - I was responding to the "redefining the modern smartphone bit" , not the whole post I quoted. I know the iPhone breaks records every time, I wouldn't argue with facts

You probably didn't know how to use it and used a task killer or something (which do more harm than good), or bought a rubbish Android phone.
As someone who actually knows how Android works, I can categorically state that I only ever reboot my phone by choice, and it's usually because I'm updating firmware, flashing a ROM or something.
