As a side note, the Galaxy S3 is in fact not running icecream Sandwich, it is running version 4.1 of android now. However, your point is well spoken, in the sense that the apps, Are not as accessible with android. Whether that be the ones that come with the device, or ones that you download. iOS tends To be more accessible out-of-the-box, and certainly is way more accessible in terms of downloaded apps.
