Tubemonkey said the same type of thing I thought. I had looked and looked for a portable PDA replacement (since no one makes them any more), and ended up with an iPod Touch, then later gave that one to my husband, and got the 4G for myself. I also got an iPad.

I've enjoyed the games, etc., and other cool apps. The new Samsung 4 or 5 inch models look great, but unfortunately, Android still lacks some of the same great apps (SkySafari, Plants vs. Zombies, etc.) that are available for iOS. At least there is a Kindle4Android app. I don't read much on the iPod or iPad, but I like having the option, in an emergency. I have the 3G iPad, so I also have GPS, which is nice for vacations, etc. It looks like the new Samsungs have GPS, too, which solves that problem.

Apple is really pi**ing me off with their attitude. I can't understand why they think they deserve 30% just for hosting a free app. If they'd just let people install their own apps, that would solve the whole problem.

If they keep this up, and the new Samsungs work as well as they sound, I'll be buying a couple of them, and getting rid of the Apple devices, I think.
