September 28 2012
As we all know, technology giant Apple recently released the new iPhone 5 which hit stores a little over a week ago. Now, I don't necessarily consider myself an "Apple guy"--although I do love both my iPhone and my iPad and have learned to look past their limitations--but have to admit I was disappointed by the release of the iPhone 5. I feel it lacked the "wow factor" I have come to expect from Apple product releases.
That being the case, the following is a personal account of a five day period starting Monday, September 24th and ending Friday, September 28th.
Feeling unexcited about the release of the iPhone 5 and its lack of new features, most notably NFC (near field communication) technology, I began researching other devices on the market. I had seen a number of commercials over the weekend for the Samsung Galaxy S-III. The ads highlighted many of the features missing on the iPhone, which were--conveniently--present in the Samsung device. I was impressed. The more I read about the S-III, the more intriguing it became to me not only for the mobile features, but for its presentation capabilities.
I finally convinced myself that I owed no loyalty to Apple or its iPhone. I deserve to have the best technology on the market today and shouldn't limit myself to just Apple products if the S-III can give me all the iPhone can and more. Monday night, I waltzed into the Verizon store and used my upgrade to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S-III. I took it home and began to experience firsthand all the features it had to offer.
