The S3 came out 8 months after the iPhone 4S, that's an eternity. I'm sure Android beats the iPhone 3G as well. I'm guessing nuckingfuts was referring to hardware released in the same generation.
Got a tip for us?

Yep, but unfortunately a lot of people will probably wait for it because this touchwiz is actually decent!
Has really useful voice commands; you can say "shoot" in the camera whilst steadying it with both hands to take a picture. You can say "answer" or "reject" when there's an incoming call, and I don't want to lose smart stay either.
Holy crap. Is English your second or third language? If so, I understand your inability to comprehend the language.
Let me put this at the 5th grade level. Is using a PC to do a presentation professional looking?
If yes, then you support my argument.
If no, then you disagree with with xraydoc and you're contradicting yourself.
Let me just show you a video. Maybe you will understand more through a 'visual' presentation courtesy of the S3. Enjoy. And by the way, the iPhone can't do a single thing in this video. You can skip ahead to the bt connection part if you wish.

Contradict yourself much?
I'll let you know when I get my Nexus 7 (provided and iPad mini doesn't get announced in Fall)
I think JB is decent though it's been largely demoed on fast hardware. I've got iOS 5.x running on a single core A4 processor and it feels 90% as fast as the JB vids i've seen so far.
You don't need as powerful hardware to run a grid of icons and limited background apps. Not trolling, just the way it is, there's a lot going on with Android as it's a more sophisticated (but admittedly not as clean) OS.
0m3ga, this is a yes or no question. Is it your statement that the S3 is the "best solution available today" for those who are looking to give a professional presentation?
That's what project butter is all about... Optimisation. Making the cpu and gpu work in tandem and some other fancy stuff I don't fully understand yet
Either way, it looks really smooth and Android is a more powerful and resource hungry os, so it's an achievement if they've managed to get it to run as smoothly as ios on comparable hardware.
Didn't know that. Is there somewhere that shows little features of the phone like that?
What new smartphone? Anyways, I'm running JB on my nexus now and its running fine...however, the ICS ran fine to me as well. Curious to see what cards google now starts to auto-generate for me.
i have nothing bad to say about the IPhone...It is a great device for some people..just not my cup of tea.
I could care less about benchmarks, or whether the phone can speak and understand mandaran, indian, or whatever.
If people have questions, please be free to ask away.

Do a search for something like "ten features you didn't know about on the S3", there's a few sites about.
I mainly found them through playing with it. You can say "stop" and "snooze" to your alarm clock and there's music/radio controls too ("previous", "next" etc.)
He was referring to someone mentioning how the newly released international S3 is the first phone to beat the iPhone 4S (October 2011) in GPU benchmarks.
Of course, this doesn't help anyone in the US much, as the US version of the S3 actually has worse graphics than last year's internationally sold S2.
False
It has nothing to do with icons on a grid or even background apps. iOS has much better graphics subsystem with many of the frameworks heavily leveraging OpenGL which is why my 800Mhz A4 processor works well in concert with the GPU/CPU and OS to deliver great performance.
Apple hasn't been sleeping either in iOS 6. Core Animation, OpenGL and OpenCL have all improved.
Remember. On the average Apple's done it with less mhz, less battery and less RAM.
Better OS folks.
I have a couple. If you have a bluetooth headset, can you set a lock screen and check two things? :-
1. That the phone uses the new voice search app for commands when listening over a headset.
2. That you don't need to unlock the phone before speaking?
Thanks!
More details Om3ga. What kind of professional presentation would this be? What are the requirements?
So you're saying that the fact that Android runs rich widgets, live wallpapers, etc has absolutely nothing to do with it?
I'm not doubting that ios has the better graphics management but clearly all of the above has an effect too.
Newsflash: you can be a fan of a product without being completely oblivious.
I had been hoping that we would get this functionality with iOS6. Unless I missed something, or unless it just hasn't been pushed to public beta, my wishes don't seem to have been granted.
Not here you can't!

I am LOVING JellyBean 4.1 on Galaxy Nexus (VZW).
It will only get better. Siri has a lot of catchup work to do. I miss Steve Jobs. I bet if he were here now he'd be PISSED with how Siri is coming along.

Too late, as iOS uses Search, Maps, and Navigation directly from Google at this moment. It's actually one of the reason's why Apple is trying to not depend on Google as much. They're trying to remove all Google related search from iOS.

I would never allow Google now to collect my personal information.

Yea screw Apple. I am glad I ordered mine two days ago and it's already on its way
For you.
If it was the better OS objectively, i wouldn't be looking at a competitor OS for my iPhone 4 replacement (WP8 or ICS/JB). So it is not the better OS for all of us. Neither is any other.
I'm definitely staying on Android. I was way too underwhelmed with iOS 6. What was supposed to be a major iOS release was nothing more than a few features already in Android plus Passbook. I was looking for something that could convince me to switch to iOS but iOS 6 just doesn't have any compelling features. I mean, Jellybean is only an incremental update, so I wasn't expecting much, but I feel like it was more of an improvement over ICS than iOS 6 was over iOS 5.

This could be a disaster for both consumers and Samsung. Although I believe the next Galaxy Nexus is supposed to be released in a couple of months? Will it and the SIII now run into trouble? Or will Google step in and sue Apple for the Notification Center and try to ban the next iPhone?
This could get really bad for consumers in the U.S., regardless which phone you have or like.
Already have mine but I hope Apple users are condemning Apple's actions here.What timing....
