HomeSync device available... 1TB appliance that you have at home that lets you auto sync all your media and view/play anywhere at home... not sure about that one yet

This presentation is just awful! It's like a grade school skit.

Samsung Knox... high end security that can separate out personal vs business sections of phone... pretty cool fro the BYOD crowd.

GROUP PLAY.. you can network all your Samsung phones to act as different speakers for same media.. so you can have dolby 5.1 using multiple phones

I know it's supposed to have the automatic scrolling feature.

The auto scroll feature wasn't as impressive as it should be.. it pauses when you look away but doesn't track eyes to scroll.. you have to lean phone front or back to scroll.
The presentation for all of this was painful to watch. |

Pretty cool that it can act as a remote with the IR blaster port.
Lot's of small to medium cool things but NOTHING that was SUPER WOW. |

Was there anything that would justify the cost of an S4 over an S3? Starting to look at phones, and was thinking that if the S3 dropped in price when the S4 rolls around, that would be a good deal.

The only thing that I would have to consider is the IR blaster which would let me use the phone as a universal remote. I'd find that convenient and could also wreak some havoc at bars... |

I believe Amazon already dropped the S3 to a penny with a new contract. With a renewal, I think it's $99.

Thanks for the tip, have not check on prices for awhile. We have no contract at the moment, so am open to ideas.
