There's universal agreement that both the S4 and One are the epitome of Android. But all is not perfect. Google's biggest problem: Nexus 4.

Best of all: it runs Android. For me, that's the killer feature. Pairing it with your smartphone opens up all kinds of possibility.

Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One, which is better? My research suggests the internet is split. Here's what I'm buying to replace a Nexus 4.

If the refreshed 7-incher does launch in July it will give Google at least a quarter, possibly more, to take sales away from Apple.

The most egregious offense is the design of the new flat icons. In a word: atrocious. Instead of creating a consistent, coherent aesthetic, they instead bamboozle the senses.

On the heels of the Galaxy S4 launch, Samsung was able to outsell Apple, HTC, Nokia, Motorola, BlackBerry and every other notable smartphone maker in May.

Fair warning: this is a dense, comprehensive report. Be sure to grab at least two or three shots of your favorite espresso before daring to wade into its data-laden depths.

Samsung could get another boost next month, when a special, non carrier-bloated version of the Galaxy S 4 hits the Google Play Store.

Last year the entertainment and devices devision pulled in $4.24 billion in revenue. Microsoft said that there are now 66 million Xbox 360 consoles and 18 million Kinect sensors. Xbox LIVE has 40 million members globally.

With the success of Spotify, Pandora, and upstarts like Songza (really terrific) it's no surprise that the heavies are now looking to jump into the subscription fray. Apple is widely expected to offer a similar iTunes-based model next month.
