From iPhone4 to Galaxy S3

Get your DNLA client set up, and get "serviio" set up on your PC
Then you can stream all your music and movies to your S3,
If you want to be adventerous get over to XDA developers and see what custom roms are released, lots of good stuff out there without the bloatware

It's different from iOS, things don't feel as cohesive as they do on iOs, but that is probably because I'm used to iOS and how things are defined. Android seems a lot more relaxed. Different versions of the OS, as well as different versions of the devices may work slightly differently. Some options may be present on other devices that aren't on others, which can lead to confusion.
An example, Galaxy Nexus will happily show up on AFT (Android File Transfer), but the Galaxy S II won't for some reason. I have tried digging around the settings, comparing them on each device but as mentioned above, one device has an option, while the other doesn't.
They are both running ICS, and from what I can tell, the same version, so in theory they should be the same, but they are not.
I do like the "Widgets" though, our app has a 4x1 / 4x2 and 1x1 widget and I think that would be quite a nice addition to iOS, gives you a snapshot of the status of an app without having to run the app.
I have to say I'm rather impressed by it.

Have you seen the Galaxy Note? That's just plain silly. All the hype / marketing about it being between a tablet and a phone. Hmm, really is like Dom Jolly's phone, or someone using an iPad as Phone (holding it up to their ear).

Most differences can be overcome by installing apps like a new keyboard so it spell checks typos and changes them. Most of the apps look identical.
Overall, I'd recommend it. The screen is beautiful and very quick/smooth.

Yes and have never had a problem with it. I have used it from my PC to my Galaxy S and to my BD player to stream music and films. It does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Swype keyboard is fantastic, it should be an option on the standard ICS rom, it is on the S and S2.
Handcent for texting, Zedge for ringtones/wallpaper, Sky +, Google drive, TV Catchup (download the beta from their website).
It's also worth signing up for the Samsung app store as they have a number of free decent games.
