I wonder if the new software update will help any. I kinda doubt it. AppleTV has always been underwhelming on its own. I still use mine all the time, but then, I stream a lot from my PC through my iPad. |

If only Apple had enlarged their screen. Even 4.5 inches would probably have culled a lot of wrath.

It's too bad the HTC is out of the running. It comes in red!

I recently switched from the iphone 4s to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and if nothing else I absolutely love having a much larger screen.

Okay, I was 90% going for the S4, but then I found the Moto X? Anyone know anything about the Moto X? It's seems like a good compromise between the iPhone 5s and the S4 in size, talk time, and camera. Does anyone know how user friendly it is?

Samsung seems pretty shady with rolling out updates. I have an S3.

That's a definite advantage of the Nexus phones. At the same time, Google has been systematically converting all the cool stuff from OS features into apps, so you're not missing that much anymore.
And of course, there's always CyanogenMod... |

There's some nifty guides out there that tell you exactly what all you can safely disable regarding unnecessary apps that the manufacturer or carrier rolls out. It's handy to cut down the stupid bloat.
Here's the link for stock Galaxy S3: http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...ck-rooted.html You can go into Application Manager, and disable them. But a better solution is to "Freeze" them, so that they'll stay disabled even after a reboot. I use an app called Titanium Backup to "Freeze" these built in apps. That prevents them from running automatically. Titanium Backup has additional advantages as well.

I had a couple of friends tell me last night that I should hold out and get the iPhone 5i when it comes out. They know someone who works for Verizon who seems to be tickled pink with the upcoming release (they guessed November).
