Samsung Galaxy S3

[shready]

Looking to ditch my iPhone 4s and get a Samsung Galaxy S3. But anyone got any experience of using them with an iMac? Also, how do you get the music on them if you use iTunes?

 

[shready]

Anyone??

I think there's an app you can download that synchs the S3 to iTunes

 

[Fluffmeister]

They work fine, all you need is either DoubleTwist to sync with iTunes, or my favourite Isyncr.

android file transfer works as well

Samsung's own easy phone sync app will do it as well.

I eventually saw the light and upgraded from the iphone 4s to the Galaxy S3 last year.

Just download Samsung KIES software for Mac, and it will import all your iphone backup data to the Galaxy.

Throw itunes away and I wouldnt use Kies either although you can if you must. Install the driver plug the phone in and it shows up like a flash drive and simply copy your music over. You don't even have to do that as you can share the music folder over the network and copy it from the share to your phone as you would computer to computer. Another alternative is to upload your music to the play store. You can then access it on any device so long as you have internet and either stream the music from the internet or copy it down. The choices are practically unlimited unlike the archaic way that apple forces you to do things.

Well I took the plunge and got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and ditched the iPhone.

So glad I did, at last a smartphone that lets you do things your way. Love it

I use Double-Twist, work brilliantly and if you upgrade to the premium (4.99 I think) you get all of the album covers as well.
I also use the Samsung for a navigation back up, Google Maps Navigation is very good.

Yes Google Nav is pretty good so long as you have a data connection. If you want to get a full offline app then Sigic is really good or for free try OSMAnd. The good thing about OSMAnd is you can change the maps yourself as they are open street map. Its also really good if you leave the beaten trail as you can easily put your own route on or track yourself in various ways. Admittedly if your only ever going to use it for the normal roads then Sigic has the best routing and also looks the best but it isn't free.

For navigation on my Galaxy S2 I use CoPilot. Completely off-line navigation but does allow google searches for addresses etc.
