The figures come from comparison website uSwitch, according to their Mobile Tracker the S3 has already knocked off Apple’s white iPhone 4S from number one, just one month after it achieved the position. “The S3’s spectacular ascent comes amid an…

Android users get a taste of iOS with new theme

A new free Android application has hit the Google Play store called iPhone 4S Screen. As the name suggests, once installed this application will theme your Android device to look like it’s running Apple’s iOS! Now, like many of the themes in Cydia for jailbroken iOS devices, iPhone 4S Screen doesn’t totally change the feel and look of your device and it…

Can the Galaxy S III stop the iPhone?

If you’re a serial follower of Today’s iPhone, in the last hour you may or may not have read an article by Cam Bunton sharing his views on what makes the iPhone so special. If you haven’t read it yet, I strongly recommend you take a look. The article got me thinking, and my train of thought soon turned to what doesn’t make the iPhone special. That may…

Which CES 2012 gadgets would tempt you away from your iDevice?

iOS is awesome, as are pretty much all devices loaded with it. At least, that’s what I think.  iTunes now coupled with iCloud now makes Apple’s ecosystem and brilliant hardware almost impossible to resist. And, despite not being the highest-specced, super-duper-turbo charged powerhouses on the market, Apple products still remain the standard that every…

Why I switched back to the iPhone (again)

My love affair with the iPhone has developed over the past few years. I’d actually owned both BlackBerries and an Android phone before trying my first iPhone: the 3G. Initially it was a loan from a friend, it took me a while to get used to not having a home screen wallpaper, and the lack of customization was not something I enjoyed. But, the way it…

Galaxy Nexus vs. iPhone 4S roundup

The Galaxy Nexus finally launched in the US this week, around a month later than the UK release. Since I’m based in England I got my hands on the GSM version on the first day and wrote up some comparison pieces. Granted, the Verizon model is LTE 4G capable and so will be much quicker at downloading. Apart from that and the slight difference in…

One week with a ‘droid

Tech lovers come in all shapes and sizes, hold different preferences and have unique values. More often than not it’s these values that shape the way we buy gadgets. Your number 1 priority may be to buy the product that gives you all the bare functionality you need, without having to shell-out a small fortune. If that’s the case, you most likely don’t…

iPhone 4S vs. Galaxy Nexus – part 2: Software

On Monday I published the first part of my Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S comparison. On the hardware side, the 4S came out on top with a score of 4 points to 3. It was a close run thing. An improved camera and better build quality would have seen the Ice Cream Sandwich-powered handset come out on top. Link: iPhone 4S vs. Galaxy Nexus – part 1. Would the…

iPhone 4S vs. Galaxy Nexus – part 1: Hardware

We love our iOS devices, that much is clear. However, it’s always great to check out the competition and see what’s going on. Is there another handset out there that can offer something we’re missing? I bought a Galaxy Nexus the other day to try and answer that question. Before I start this comparison, it’s important to note that I attempted in each…
