You guys should have said something about the fail of an update Samsung just had to pull for the S3. It’s rendering the phones useless.
Kevin’s point over NFC and iPhone is pure crap.He raises the same arguments that “if the iPhone doesn’t have and use NFC, nobody is going to need it, NFC is going to die”.
Wake up man! People use NFC and Apple can’t do anything about it.
Yeah, people use NFC, but it is not popular. The normal consumer doesn’t even know what it is.

kitkat 4.4 launcher theme
http://androidgalleryapkbd.blogspot.com/2013/11/kitkat-44-launcher-theme-v193-apk.html
The biggest reason to upgrade to KitKat for me would be the fact that they’ve changed the WebView. It seems like a dev change, but end users will benefit hugely from this. Lots of apps will perform a lot better and it opens up for better quality HTML5 games and apps.
