  • Samsung Galaxy S3 Review

    BLANK
    Welcome to the 2013 Samsung Galaxy S3 review. At the time of writing the Galaxy SIII I9300 series has been on sale for nearly 6 months and arguably the best Android based phone you can buy. Lots have been said and there are plenty of in-depth reviews that you can read. We've read them checked out the benchmarks and agree so have nothing to add to the world. So Like the iPhone we can only point out the reasons why you shouldn'y buy the Galaxy S3! - Requires Gmail address with all your personal data so you need a separate email for your phone if you want to maintain any privacy. - The Apps are not vetted as thoroughly as Apple's so you can be a victim. - Build quality while good could be much better. As plastic does its quite good to look at. - Standard Samsung enhancements are not attractive to look at. - A bit more difficult to setup and use due to the number of customisation options. - Google Play needs more work. - The screen colours are too saturated. - Still not as smooth as other OS. Overall the Galaxy S3 does have less issues if not using the advanced functions than the iPhone and that's probably why its the better choice for most people. Like the iPhone there is more great features than the problems! One of the most important features in being about to see Flash content! Just remember that the Galaxy S3 is one of the best mobile phones are the moment for a variety of reasons and would be our choice if it hadn't been for the new Windows 8 phones just released!

  • Apple iTunes 11 update is really bad

    Oh dear – Apple really stuffed up with the iTunes 11 re-design!

    It is basically a mess. Sure there is some vague logic to it – maybe but NO it is quite and utterly stupid. They should have kept the Windows Explorer design they originally copied. I’m sure you know what we mean and it will take a true Apple die hard fan to try and explain why it makes thing easier. Maybe you have to use it one handed! LOL

    Even the latest Windows 8 redesign works infinitely better and easier to understand. When your 11 year old can understand Windows 8 in 10 minutes but still can’t quite work out iTunes you have a problem – Nope really serious problem.

    BTW you have to press SHOW SIDEBAR under the VIEW menu to restore it back to a interface that you can actually understand.

    We can image millions of people looking at the default screen after the upgrade and going WTF like we did!

     

  • Apple iPhone 5 Review

    BLANK
    Welcome to the Apple iPhone 5 review. We love the iPhone and loathe it at the same time. Since everyone only points out the positives for the iPhone we decided to point out the negatives to add some balance to the world. Each new iPhone usually adds a feature or two which has been on other phones but Apple applies it's own user interface magic and hardware 'innovations' to make the phone work better. Eg. SIRI for example was not developed by Apple but purchased the company that was going to release it! (Apple PR and the mass media and certain other website then rewrite history claiming it's an Apple original which is a bit sad.) Unfortunately the iPhone 5 does none of that for the owner, in fact they have made it worse  - which is a pity. However in terms of hardware they have made significant technological improvements like the updated screen and even lighter weight body. The new screen technology while boasting superior images thinner and lighter construction doesn't really set its self apart of the older screen and we couldn't tell the difference. The larger screen is welcome but if the text is still the same size you still can't read the text combined with the awkward screen size... The iPhone 5's multiple microphones supposedly make call quality better but is a complete fail. The call quality and volume still cannot beat your basic Nokia and Motorola phones have been enjoying for years. The latest iPhone now looks awkward rather than stylish and proportionate. The old iPhones 1 to 4S looked great but the 5 is not right... The light weight is handy thanks to even more need for a protective case. However we think they have made it too light - lightness usually equals cheapness and it does feel cheap. It may be metal but it looks and feels like plastic and scratches like plastic too - so what's the point? The user interface shows its age although retains its remarkable ease of use. We are also getting tired of reading the repetitive propaganda about the decision to make the iPhone look awkward - so that you can type one handed - what a joke. In the real world you cannot type one handed (we just tried again its too difficult even more so if you're a lady who has nails) on the iPhone properly without looking at the keypad or two hands because it is way too small and 99% use both hands and the auto-correct is still flawed. The changing of the connector is also a bit of a pain, simply so the company can get a few more dollars. A lot of people will be unnecessarily wasting money and creating more waste to pollute the planet. Let's not forget the very poor Apple Maps application. Amongst other issues Maps is plainly incorrect, locations and images etc.. We also think Subway pays them because we see a lot of Subways that don't or have never existed... Despite the iPhone 5's significant flaws (it is the worse iPhone to date) it is still one of the best smart phones you can buy! It will do everything you want and more, purely due to the Apps and content store so if you afford it go for it but check out these others first - in particular Windows 8 phones. Specifications
