Hi all, away for a few hours....abuzz with the launch excitement.

If it was available immediately I would pay jloi now tongue.gif

Let me know too.

About accessories, someone mentioned this last night, what accessories do you mean?

I can have a post for accessories but the official ones are the few covers and charging backplate from the video.

If any of you have links to interesting stuff or would like posted, let me know.

If You're Programming a Cell Phone Like a Server You're Doing it Wrong
http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/9/18/...oure-doing.html

.......Key idea: The cell radio is one of the biggest battery drains on a phone. Every time you send data, no matter how small, the radio is powered on for up for 20-30 seconds. Every decision you make should be based on minimizing the number of times the radio powers up. Battery life can be dramatically improved by changing the way your apps handle data transfers. Users want their data now, the trick is balancing user experience with transferring data and minimizing power usage. A balance is achieved by apps carefully bundling all repeating and intermittent transfers together and then aggressively prefetching the intermittent transfers....

fruit ceo making a statement to drive isheep back into the pen

Opinion: Tim Cook’s unimaginative jabs at Android are just damage control
http://www.androidauthority.com/tim-cook-d...control-271156/

...In Cook’s view, the incompatibilities between various Android versions make each an entirely different species. The Android operating systems are “not the latest ones by the time people buy,” he says. A recent survey of smartphones sold by AT&T showed 25 Android handsets; six did not have the latest operating system. “And so by the time they exit, they’re using an operating system that’s three or four years old. That would be like me right now having in my pocket iOS 3. I can’t imagine it.”....

So Crook & Co. every iphone that is able to run ios 7 has the FULL ios7 feature set. NO IT DOESN'T! So stop lying to people about it. They have had to cut and gut features for several generations of phones and certain new features are hardware specific like SIRI which seemed to work just fine when it was a separate product until jobless wonder got his hands and wrecked it. ios is not perfect and once again they let it out with a FLAW that they need to patch. I suspect they do that or get caught with their pants down so they can show "look how quickly we patch" Android can't do that on carrier controlled hardware. Maybe, but we don't leave the barn door open either.

There's a listing in post 6 for accessories.

Despite all the suggestions for slim casings and naked phones, my personal recommendation is to use something that covers the entire back and bezel, and should have a lip extending onto the edge of the screen as well.

My take on those "cases" with exposed top and bottom bezels are that they offer very very minimal protection during a drop.

I think the S-view cover is functional, but I don't think it offers any credible protection against drops on the phone edge.

Oh! Then I hope it is room light condition, or Samsung did it better in future firmware.

Note 10.1 2014 edition has gotten its kernel sources released.

Where's Note 3?

And where the heck mad.gif is the teardown? Even the ipong has gotten the ifixit treatment !!!!

ifixit says that the 5 and 5s are almost identical inside, and the screen is the [S]ame.

According to one girl name Erica Griffin (you can google her up. her reviews and explanations on details are really based on her on research and measrements and not from internet available information)

Right, according to her, AMOLED actually has more accurate colour gamut compared to IPS screen

What happened in previous Galaxy phones was that Samsung had deliberately oversaturated the colours. So when people say Galaxy S3 is oversaturated, they're right, but it's not AMOLED's fault, it's the software's fault.

But since Galaxy S4, Samsung had leave the colour meters "more natural" on the colour gamut, according to the results of the colour meter measurements done by her.

Now, on the LCD, the colour gamut is actually narrower than the colour gamut on AMOLED (the wider the colour gamut, the more accurate the colour is according to true colours that human eyes can see). If LCD on natural colour meter mode were to put side by side to AMOLED, it will look as if LCD is undersaturated.

So what most manufacturers do was, they try to emulate AMOLED screen by oversaturating the colours! This is done by deliberately adjusting the colour meters to a more saturated ones (LG G2 according to her colour meter measurements), or by deliberately adjusting the gamma output put make it more saturated (HTC One and Z Ultra). Oversaturating means no more accurate colours, because at some more you will see too dark, and some part you will see too bright compared to the original colour.

So actually what we consumers see as "Good Colour Quality" is actually over saturation of colours, except Galaxy S4 and Note 3 and perhaps newer Galaxy series. Manufacturers found out we actually like oversaturated colours. We can say we like more natural colours but the moment we like what Triluminus or HTC One display, that's actually over saturated colours.

But the downside of AMOLED is that it's not suitable for heavy users, as the screen will degrade overtime due to how the sub pixel works and it's not preventable, according to her.

Nice explanation of screen color by toda_erika_II

Any comments, Andrewtst ? or other color savvy people?

I've heard before they can get hefty discounts but they can only get it after a long wait of 3-4 weeks it seems.
