Best Phone/ Tablet to have in 2013?

Q. What is the best phone or tablet to have right now? Im looking for:
-speed
-at least an 8GB camera
-screen resolution
oops I meant 8MP

A. LOL. This is purely subjective and eveyone's going to have their own personal opinions on it.

Here's MY thoughts on what is the best for 2013. This only applies to ME and what I like about the devices.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317M)
- 5.5" screen (no need to squint)
- perfect size for portability and mobility (yeah, I can fit this in my front pant pocket without issue and it's in an Otterbox Commuter case too)
- touch and digital S Pen inputs
- excellent for note taking and drawing (no fatigue; accurate and precise pen input)
- exactly duplicates pen on paper with real palm rejection allowing a more natural and ergonomic feel
- split screen multi-window view (ie. can view email, browse web and take notes at the same time)
- attach my 1TB drive via USB OTG cable (but requires external power source to power the HDD)
- attach USB hub and hook up to external display via smart dock (at the same time); can turn it into a multimedia hub or micro computer

Tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro
- runs full Windows 8 Pro 64-bit OS without any 3rd party bloat (can even install Linux)
- full HD resolution with touch and digital pen inputs
- can reuse standard computer peripherals without the need for an adapter
- USB to gigabit ethernet support (avoiding common hassles with Wi-Fi and its inherent weaknesses)
- USB3.0
- run full Windows Programs, none of the trimmed down mobile stuff
- actual ultrabook/notebook hardware in tablet form

The only issue is that the camera is rather poor in the Surface Pro, but who cares. I won't use it anyways. The Note 2 can handle that or my dedicated digital camera.

This is the tablet I am currently eyeing to upgrade from my Note 10.1.


Apple vs Android/Microsoft which is better? and Why?
Q. Hey guys whats up?
Before I ask my question I feel I have to defend myself from everyone, including the Apple Lovers(which I am one, I just purchased My iMac, iPad, have had more than one generation iPod, and have the iPhone 4S) but to simplify my question as much as possible my biggest issue with the iPhone is not too much the iOS but why is apple technologically behind in their phones... I mean I have thought about it the past couple of the days, if it wasn't for the Strong Customer Loyalty, comparing apples to apples with other Android Based phones. Apple seems to be behind technologically, like the Cameras. I use to Have the Android HTC EVO 4G ( although I know it really wasn't the real 4G) but it was allot faster than the iPhone (that at the time was still predominately the iPhone 3G, 3Gs, or 4), it had an awesome camera, it had SD support, Adobe Compatible etc... And lately there has been allot of articles on the internet and all over the news stating that the Apple iPhone 5 is already inferior to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and will be Surpassed even worse! come March 2013. Whats your input on this? is Apple behind technologically and if so do they do this as part of their marketing scheme? or is it just bologna?

A. I don't know too much about the windows phones. They seem to be getting better but I never really looked in to them. I have done major research in the Samsung phones and IPhones. Here is what I got.

What phone is better? It depends on what you want and look for in a phone. If you want a phone that obviously makes phone calls, you do a little text messaging, a little but of Web browsing, no watching videos on Netflix or YouTube, want a decent camera, and a simple phone. Then get the IPhone 5.

If you want a phone that obviously makes phone calls, do a lot of text messaging, a lot of Web browsing, watch movies on Netflix and YouTube, Facebook, has a good camera, play games, big screen, and is customizable. Then get the Galaxy S3 or the Galaxy Note 2.

The Galaxy S3 US version has a 1.4 GHz Dual Core processor, 2G of RAM, 4.8 inch 1280x720 16:9 aspect ratio screen, 2100mAh battery, 64G expandable micro SD slot on top of a 16G-32G internal memory, Great camera (has 20 picture burst and can take pictures as fast as your finger can hit the button also takes video and pictures at the same time), picture in picture (you can watch your movie at the same time your text messaging), Sbeam, share pictures through wifi, 4G LTE, Facebook, YouTube, google search, google maps,supports JAVA, swipe technology (means you can text words without having to take your finger off the screen for each letter. You might have to google it for better description), and more.

Me personally I like big screen phones and will be getting the 5.5 inch Galaxy Note 2 with a 1.6 GHz Quad Core processor, 2G of RAM, 16G-32G-64G internal memory, up to 64G external micro SD slot, removable 3100 mA battery, 4G LTE, SPen, supports JAVA, has google talk now, YouTube, Facebook, google search engine, google maps, customizable screen, great camera (with 20 picture burst and as fast as you hit the button it takes the picture just as fast and also takes video and pictures at the same time), picture in picture (means you can continue to watch your movie while you text message), Sbeam for sharing pictures instantly, you can share pictures to people that are on the same wifi you are on, put things on any smart TV with wifi connection from your phone, swipe technology, screen shot movie to make corrections to grafts or emails and send it back to the person also has sound, you can write on the back of your digital pictures, actually sign your email, organize your pictures in to folders, and more stuff. That's why I'm getting the Galaxy Note 2 oh and it fits just fine in my pocket. The screen also moves the keyboard over to the left or right off the phone so you can easily do one handed text messaging. I would say go to YouTube and look it up. They have so much more stuff then what the IPhone 5 has it would be a long list.

I was very disappointed in the new IPhone 5. If you have an IPhone 4 or 4s you should just stay with it. Siri isn't really worth getting if your coming from the IPhone 4. The IPhone 5 has minimum upgrades from the 4S. They should have called it IPhone 4SL (L stands for long). The new new an upgrade features for the iPhone 5 from the 4s are IOS 6 (the 4 and 4s will be getting too), A6 chip (which is slower then the new Android phone the Galaxy Note 2 and all other Quad Core processors coming out), updated Seri, 4G LTE, 4 inch screen, 3D mapping (Android has had for years), turn by turn navigation (Android also had for years), little upgrade for the camera like panoramic picture (another thing Android had for years), a little bit bigger battery (3.7v instead of 3.6v and 1445 mA instead of 1435 mA), 3 microphones instead of 2, a smaller power charger (which makes all your other charger and docking ports irrelevant), No google search engine, No YouTube, and No Google Maps. Apple is going to charge around 30 dollars for each adapter you buy. Google dropped their stuff from Apple. Like I said minor upgrade.

I feel that Apple is behind on the technology side. They have been on cruise control. Why spend a lot of money on innovation and technology, when you can spend a little bit of money for minor upgrades and people will still buy your phones. Until Apple takes a major hit in their phone sales don't expect any major innovation or technology. The new stuff they came out on the IPhone 5, Android has had for a few years now. Apple is also very restrictive on what you can put on their phone and what you can do with their phone. Android is open to what you can do to their phones.

The Galaxy Note 2 will not be out till around October 21st if you are now interested in that phone. But again its all about what you are looking at in a phone. If you like the big screens get the Galaxy S3 and or the Galaxy Note 2. definitely youtube the galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2 for more of their features. Also go to the store and see what feels right in your hand. Hope this helps you out.
