Looks like I'll need to do some research -- and I will -- but can someone nut-shell me on the difference between a Note 2 (tablet?) and the S III (phone?).
Thank you!

This is easy. go with the note 2 and everything else Apple. Win.
----------
the note 2 has more ram (2 gig) faster cpu (quad core 1.6) s pen (look at it on youtube, its more than just a stylus) and a larger screen. they are the main differences. the note 2 is not a tablet. (LTE S3's also have 2gig of ram tho)
----------
oh and the note 2 has a much bigger battery which that alone makes it better

No it doesn't. I have both phones and thats just incorrect. The Note 2 has a much bigger battery because it needs one for the quad core processor and large screen and the fact that the Android OS is not as efficient as iOS.
Note 2 has ridiculous battery life. I am on SKYNOTE ROM v7. Right now unplugged for 19h 31m battery @ 55% left. And On Screen time of 4h 10m
So I should get over 8h screen time, and 36+ hours on a single charge. Does the iPhone 5 do that well?

It's actually weird that this thread taught me something: the review tests seem to show the iPhone 5 getting better battery life than the Note II.
Engadget Battery Test (Video Loop):
iPhone 5: 11:15
Note II: 10:45
AnandTech WiFi Web Browsing Test:
iPhone 5: 10:27
Note 2: 8:41
I find it odd because everyone here says the Note II blows away everything in the battery life department and I just automatically assumed it did, but actually looking at it seems to tell a different story.

Actual usage, I'm charging my Note II less often then I did my iPhone 5. Easily getting two full days usage on a single charge and with casual use, three days.
I've never used an iphone but I get close to 20 hours of use before I have to charge again
I literally just lol'd. That's bullcrap dude. :lol: My Note 2 KILLS the iPhone 5's battery life. The iPhone sucked compared to the Note 2. Cut the i5 claimed time in half or more and you're getting close. I just charged my Note 2 after 2 days off the charger! My i5 would come off the charger at 2pm and die by 9-10pm same day under semi-heavy use (my wifes as well). My Note 2 lives for 2 days under my usage.
