Guest hitoallusa Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I heard that this tablet is a major threat to iPad 2. Have anybody tried it? I am waiting for a tablet that has a phone function so I won't buy one just yet. I think in the near future people will develop a hologram technology where a name card size device can create a touch screen made up of only light. Before we go that far, companies like Apple and Samsung should not lie about their battery life. Apple is bad in a way. Trick you into buying something that works really well for a short amount of time. I don't mind investing in a new technology though but don't test my patience. Quote

TotallyOz Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 The Samsung 2S is amazing. I am sure this one will be great as well. Samsung is really a great product. I prefer Apple as all my apps are there and I hate starting from scratch. But, I did buy the BF in Thailand the Samsung. Quote
Members Lucky Posted October 7, 2011 Members Posted October 7, 2011 From PCMag.com: Pros The thinnest tablet currently available. Excellent 10.1-inch HD screen. Honeycomb 3.1 brings improved multitasking, Flash support, and a higher-quality user experience. Comes with earbuds—a rarity for a tablet. Cons TouchWiz UI means update delays for future Android versions. App selection is weak. Even with a strong Wi-Fi signal, online video playback sputtered in our tests. Bottom Line The Wi-Fi–only Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the thinnest Honeycomb tablet available, and it's very capable, but its Touchwiz UI means Android updates are in doubt. *** I have no idea what a TouchWiz UI is. But I do want a good tablet. The Ipad2 was my choice. The KindleFire might have been a good compromise, but all of your software comes from Amazon (I think), which has no incentive to give you a good price. For example, magazine subscriptions cost more for the tablet than they do for the actual paper copies. Quote

Guest hitoallusa Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Samsung's position is weak and not sure what can they get out of this. And apple got this powerful law and consulting firms working for them. Samsung needs something more substantial to win. Let's see how it plays out. I am more interested in the international patent dispute. Lucky do you want to write an article or book on it? Quote
