   So this guy takes the ole' Steve Jobs attitude towards Samsung. Oh well. Does Foxconn actually design any products themselves?

   Meanwhile, Apple is losing to Samsung in court...

   Ever heard of public image/goodwill?

   Gou just reinforced the dim view I have of Apple (more specifically here, their partners such as Foxconn). Arrogance only breeds ignorance.

   The surprising thing is I really struggle to see what positive effect his comments can have. Perhaps he should refocus some of the energy he's spending on hating Samsung into doing something useful.

   Considering iPhone 5 is rumoured to launch in Q4 2012, of course it should put the S3 to shame. Technology moves extremely fast in the smartphone space. By that point, they'll have even faster and more power efficient CPUs and GPUs.

   As an Android Samsung Galaxy S1 owner, I am ditching Android this fall for iPhone 5 for these reasons:

   1) Android OS slows down over time to the point where the phone is nowhere near as fast when it was new

   2) iPhone has far higher resale value. $200-300 trade in at places like Amazon or sell it. That means owning an iPhone over 2 year contract is cheaper in US than an Android phone

   3) US carriers are notorious for not upgrading the Android OS. I am still stuck with 2.1 on my S1.....

   4) The exterior components just feel cheap, especially compared to the new iPhone 4 vs. S3 (cheap shiny plastic)

   I never thought I'd come to this point but Android no longer makes any sense to me from any angle other than the OS customization.

   without apple, foxconn would be gone, no one wants too use there motherboards anymore because they were notoriously bad, there retail boards were just copies of other higher end boards, built with bad quality or shortcuts taken, they even made ECS look good to me. I would assume a phone being released almost 5-6 months after a different phone would be better, not too mention iphones usually cost more then Samsung devices, meaning if your gonna pay more I would expect a superior product too go along with it. we will just have too see what Samsung releases in Q4 and see who beats who. On a side note anyone remember when cell phones were just phones?

   Someone making comments like this in the western world would be called racist and the media would never put it down. In Asia racism is just accepted and expected.

    I don't think making blanket offensive statements about a entire race,based on a company, is healthy.

    of course not.. now dont tell any Pearl Harbor survivors this...

    Back on topic.. I would hope that the new iphone will be better coming out later PLUS we must say that the 4s was kinda of a we need another year to come up with something as it was only a upgraded model of the previous year where has the SI SII and SIII are totally different phones

    Lol @ Guest with the 4 points... did you just copy and paste your comments from the S3 review?

    And I'll reply with my same reply.... The iphone won't have a good resale value if Apple can put out a good upgrade.

    Anyway... we're getting to the point where you really CAN'T 'blow the S3 out of the water' so to say. If the S3 can do everything you want out of a smartphone and do it fast, then what else is there? We've already got pixels so small you can't em. Maybe they'll have some new battery technology or something.

    Meanwhile my massive 5.3 inch Samsung Galaxy Note is putting the 4S to shame. Traded in my 4 for one and never looked back. They took way too long to come out with the 5 and its still months away. Its been fun Apple but no thanks.

    Apparently this person was unaware of what happened on December 17th, 1942 in Pearl Harbor. I'm pretty sure that's the definition of hitting your from behind.

    Wrong again, Apple won in court to the tune of $1,000,000,000.00 count them zeros and remember that this a minimum award, another jury win give more depending on the Samsung level of intent, so add a couple more billion in awards for their thievery
