    Just whatever is stock on the Samsung I'm guessing touchwiz which seems good enough for me everything is nice and snappy although I'll probably experiment as time goes on and I figure things out more.

    If anything, you'll want to experiment with Go Launcher EX first. Best launcher so far. The folder thing isn't a problem. When you make a folder, a popup with a list of all your apps comes up. You touch whichever apps you want to put in the folder. You can edit folders whenever you want (of course).

    I love Android. I still have my iPod though, although I haven't used it for a couple of weeks.

    Oh yeah, we have Flash Player 11.

    So dare I ask, are there any Android only games/apps to look get? I'm thinking the various emulators as well as Onlive off the top of my head.

    well I've been playing the Kairosoft ones mostly as I loved them on IOS but I did also get riptide gp and reckless racing 2 just to see how they looked and their both quite impressive. When I get a Micro SD I'll probably try a PS1 emulator, shadowgun and GTA 3.

    Apps wise everything seems similar enough to iTunes most of the apps I used had Android versions only one I haven't replaced yet is instapaper.

    That's cool. I still don't think I'll get back into playing as many touch based games as I used to thanks to my Vita, so I'll probably pick up some basic ones for Galaxy just because I play them constantly.

    Need to find a site or app similar to App Shopper though, that has been invaluable to me for finding apps that drop in price.

    Bought a 16gb microSD yesterday as a stopgap (mainly for music) but it did let me install a few more things to play with as well. I put on GTA 3 and it works great it's actually fun to play on it and much smoother than it was on my iPod.

    Also got a really cool little app called Voice Actions Plus I had been reading up on the Siri alternatives on android and that's the app that people generally seem to think is the best from everything I read. It works really well actually I'd say it's much better than Samsungs own S Voice and probably Apples Siri as well I think it's also on the iTunes store for IOS as well although I've no idea how that version compares as it probably won't be able to open apps and other stuff knowing Apple.
