You can watch Flash videos on your iPad, an iPhone, or an iPod touch as well. Chrome, Puffin, Skyfire, Terra browsers will all displays Flash video on iOS devices. They've been doing it for years.
Unfortunately, you cannot share your purchases of books, magazine subscriptions, apps, and files across your iPad and your smartphone because you didn't get an iPhone. . . and entering data on one is not instantly updated on the other. . . and updating mail in all accounts on one, is not updated on the other. . . notes made on one, are not instantly updated on the other. Photos you take on your phone do not instantly appear on your iPad. . . and vice verse. Sad. If you like an app on one, you have to buy it again on the other. . . had you had an iPhone, you would not have to do that. It's buy it once, share on all devices. You cut yourself off from all that interactive shared functionality. I am sorry you listened to some bad advice.
Android is a poor imitation of what the iPhone user interface can do across devices. That is why iOS stands head and shoulders over the others in user satisfaction.
There is a reason why iOS users actually use their devices on the internet. . . iOS dominates mobile devices in internet usage. . . with the iPad at over 90% of tablet internet connection, and iOS itself topping 65% of all mobile internet usage. That reason is that Android is not that easy to use as an internet device.
Can you send me an iPad so I can stomp on it and send the pieces back to Steve Jobs? If I needed a tablet I would buy the latest Kindle. Much better deal than any iPad.
I use Amazon once in awhile. Could care less about getting content from them. So I would ignore or bypass the Amazon stuff/garbage on the Kindle and use it like a Samsung tablet. Install android apps etc etc I would toy with it
OK
So the 24 Koreans who own iFones say they like them
You can’t watch flash videos using the facebook ap on my iPad, but it does on my S5.
I typically share my good photos on facebook, and thats easy with the phone.
My mail and calendar are all synced up already.
So far, all the aps are free.
But most importantly, I can read the screen on the S5.
Also, my S5 is waterproof, and I ruined an old phone by dropping it in the toilet. I can replace my Samsung battery.
The photos move to my PC much easier on my Samsung. Apple devices work great with other Apples, but not with other devices.
I like the google voice recognition better than Siri.
However, the main thing is screen size! I don’t know why they don’t have a bigger iPhone. They are just toooooooooo small. I have a very hard time reading them. I can easily read my emails, facebook, text messages, and my Bible and my pictures are bigger. It’s a huge impact!! A smartphone is useless if you can’t read it!
Also forgot to mention the ultra power saving mode on the S5. You can put it in a basic grayscale mode with basic functions (phone, text, and a few others) and it can go for days! It’s really, really useful! I’ve never run out of power when I’ve been out and can’t charge it up. I can still get phone calls and texts from my family!
I’m not trashing iPhones, but the Samsung had the features that were most. Important to me.
The only book I read on my iPad and iPhone is the Bible. I listen to Pandora for my music. I don’t use iTunes for music. I may start using Spotify, but that won’t be a problem.
Everyone has different needs when it comes to devices, and I appreciate the competition etween the companies.
