Is it worth it to get an iPod if I already have a smartphone?

Q. I already have a Samsung Galaxy S which I use as a phone and to listen to music, for social networking, and basically everything. I've been thinking of asking for an iPod for Christmas, cause I find it annoying having headphones wrapped around my phone when I need to get it out quickly, and my phone lags when I try to listen to music and do something else. Are these points enough to get an iPod? And I still can't decide whether I want one of the new Nanos, or a 4th or 5th gen iPod touch. But is it even worth getting an iPod touch when I already have a smartphone? Or would the nano be fine?

A. Probably not.

If you already have the smartphone, you have pretty much everything an iPod can do. If you want something separate for your music, maybe even try an iPod shuffle. Only 50 bucks and if you just want it for music, it's a good buy.

Original Question

The headphone controls dont work on my galaxy s3?
Q. I recently got the Samsung Galaxy S3.

The phone itself works fine and the audio quality of the headpjones provided is of decent quality, however, the contols on the headphones wire to not work or interact with the S3.

Can someone tell me if this is a technical fault, or is there an easy way it could be fixed/any options that need to be changed?

thanks

A. This is a known fault with the software in the phone, a few things can be done to resolve this issue, but they do not always work.

1 Make sure the phone is up to date, Samsung might have released a Patch to fix this problem.

2. Plug head phones in before starting the Music App

3, Plug head phones in and restart the phone, this cause the device to re-scan services and might detect the headphones.

On a side note, Google music does not support the volume controls on the headphones, make sure you are using the standard music App, if not download winamp (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nullsoft.winamp&hl=en)

If all this fails, then you might have a broken set of head phones, or the phone has a mind of its own.

Hope this help,

(i had this problem with my S3, option 3 worked for me, i only needed to do it once and then it works all the time.)

Original Question

What are the pros and cons to having any of these tablets?
Q. I have to do a project on 21st century electronics and I chose tablets. If any of you own an iPad, Dell Streak or Samsung Galaxy Tablet, can you please tell me what is great about it? What's bad? Do they help you with your job/profession?

A. Edit: Sorry about the long answer!

Ipad:

Pros:

Very thin, beautiful, sleek, and extremely portable design.
Bright, incredibly high resolution and sharp 2048x1536 (264 ppi) display.
System-wide mirroring support.
Excellent performance and solid battery life.
Built-in support for 4G LTE and GPS on the iPad 3rd Gen (Wi-Fi/4G LTE AT&T/GPS) and iPad 3rd Gen (Wi-Fi/4G LTE Verizon/GPS) configurations, as well as 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 (all models).
Dual cameras (front and rear) make video conferencing and 1080p video capture fairly easy.
Entirely usable onscreen keyboard and support for an external keyboard.
High-quality pre-installed applications, including a web browser, e-mail client, and integrated Google Maps, as well as support for thousands of iPad other applications.
Support for new iPhoto application for photo editing as well as iMovie, Garage Band, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and more..
Inexpensive compared to notebook computers.
Sold unlocked and without a contract in the US with multiple wireless carrier options.

Cons:
Glossy display casts a glare in direct light.
The battery is not intended to be replaced and self-replacement is quite difficult.
Storage capacity cannot be upgraded and can be inadequate given increasingly large file sizes to display images and other content optimized for the high-resolution display.
No SD card slot for easy photo transfer.
Shooting photos and video with such a physically large device is awkward.
Support for 4G LTE is limited in many locations and the device does not support 4G LTE frequencies in most countries other than the US.
Commonly runs warm.
No support for Flash.
No bundled headphones (a particularly miserly omission given the US$499+ price of the device).
iWork applications are somewhat hobbled by document translation issues, file transfer complexity, and officially limited printer support.
Expensive compared to some netbooks and e-readers as well as the iPod touch.

Samsung Galaxy Tab:

Pros:
A Proper Android OS
IR Blaster
MicroSD Slot

Cons:
Middling Specs
Bloatware Galore
The Android App Situation
