Point is, they can have their event and it can be covered by the tech world. But CNN? Fox News? No. It's not "news".

QQing about an extra $10 adapter when you're paying over $200 for a phone is laughable. Things aren't going to be 100% compatible forever.

Did i miss something?

As for the 5, i wasn't impressed. If i sell my 4s, ill by the Galaxy S3.

Automatik;1269591 wrote:Yeah, who knows. Mine syncs perfectly find right now via wireless when connected to wifi.

The S3 is a hot phone, but still too big for my liking. The screen is ridiculous. I doubt I'll ever stray from an iPhone. It's too good when paired with my MacBook.

I'll wait for the "5s" :laugh:

I DJ and I use iTunes to manage and sort all of my music. So I'm constantly changing what music and playlists are on my iPhone. Like I said earlier I sync and backup wirelessly when my phone is near the laptop. It works great. I'm not suggesting that other phones don't work as well because I've never tried it, but like I said, the iPhone+MB is a perfect match.
