    iTunes doesn't magically keep a copy of all your music without it being in a directory somewhere. The files are saved somewhere. So you will be able to copy them. If you have imported them into iTunes in a proprietary format that another phone might not want to play with, there's an issue there. But i bet you could get a freeware converter without too much hassle. Or an alternative media player app for the phone that would support them.

    Just double checked. The Android Winamp app (ahhh nostalgia) supports iTunes importing. As do many others (i just happen to have the Winamp one installed).

    Ok cool. I perhaps should have worded it better, ie I only "use" I-tunes not wmp etc. it's not important for me anyway

    Just double checked ... copied an iTunes purchased track from the directory over onto my phone. It is playing in winamp (Katy Perry, Teenage Dream ... yes i could have picked a better one ). And its now playing in the built in music player app.

    So no reason to let all your tracks being in iTunes format put you off switching away from the fruit factory in future

    iTunes sucks it's slow, basic /waste of time. I like the idea of drag and drop like other mobiles

    Ears feel unclean after Katy Perry. Foo Fighters should flush it out

    I have an iphone4. Had iphones for 5 years or so. Never looked back. My mates havr got htc's/samsungs. They all want an iphone.

    Mines had a new screen 3/4 new backs. Been in the bath twice and its still fine. Im not getting the 5 its more like a 4ss.

    Iphones are so easy to use, tap what you want to open. No complicated menu.

    Itunes is easy to use.

    Im not 13, so having a custom ringtone doesn't bother me.

    Both are a grey area AFAIK. Seems to be a bit hit and miss if Apple will warranty a phone if they know its been jailbroken. As for legality, that all depends on intent - I think if you're breaking it with the intention of running paid-for apps without paying for them...

    ...so yes , then its a dodgy area.

    I'm up for renewal at the moment - currently running an Nokia C6 for the last 18 months without trouble.

    The wife's nagging to get an ipad, which I can't really see the need, but spotted this deal from carphone wearhouse :-

    Not sure how the Galaxy Ace shapes up or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 either . Not bothered about the 2 year tie in as long as the phone is reasonable.
