        these are posts on the Galaxy Tab morons, not copying.
        and everybody has been acused of copying at one time or another.
        There no denying that the Galaxy Tab will be a success.
        Right size, features, quality, and hopefully price.
        and currently china is the copy capital of the world, and japan was too for decades.

          Zeroman, 14 Oct 2010Lexus copies so many times from Mercedes and BMW In 2002 ... more
          what about the new bmw 7 series don't you think they are the one that are copying Lexus now? It's true Japanese copy sometimes. But Koreans always copy! Do you realize the difference between someone who copies several times and someone who can't do anything by him self, look at Hyundai and kia all there cars are copies from Lexus - jaguar - Mercedes, zero creativity and originality!

          This is the reason why people don't respect Korean and Chinese products compared to Japanese. There is a huge gap between inventing and stealing my friend.

          I totally agree with fact is fact, well said bro. I would buy an apple or Sony product any day offer Korean cheap material.

                  [deleted post]You do realize that as you were saying, iPhone and iPad are just INNOVATIONS, right? The same goes for any phone manufacturers nowadays. They're not exactly COPYING each other. They provide IMPROVEMENTS and a little bit unique usage experience. That's what INNOVATION is all about.

                  Great people invents while smart people innovates.

                    And there is one more thing that I really don't get! Since google announced that android froyo is no good for tablets! Why are samsung ignoring this fact? A lot of apps will not work on the tablet! Because Froyo is not meant for tablets, only cell phones.

                    But since samsung only cares about profit and only wants to copy others, I don't think they gave a dam* ! This reminds me when se first announced an 8 mp camera phone, samsung copied this with the innov 8 lol, and even more pathetic, when se announced the 12 mp satio, then the pixon 12 came from no where! For god sakes Koreans start using your brains and stop copying Americans and Japanese. Have some self respect and do something special.

                      dude please do not even think of comparing nokia to samsung. Nokia provided the world with so many innovations! You can find most of Nokia's innovations found in every cell phone today.

                      So in Nokia's case even if they came later after moto, but at least they provided the world with many other things. But samsung loool ??! I can't remember any important feature that samsung gave the world, all they do is steal others work and copy/paste them.

                      Moto,Nokia, Ericsson truly changed the cellphone world, apple also added an interesting taste that changed how touch screen phones are used today. But samsung ??! I think they are better off sticking with microwaves and washers.

                        In the Philippines, Cherry Mobile is releasing a 7" Android 2.2 Tablet called the Cherry Superion. There's also one that is similar to HTC Wildfire and HTC Desire HD.

                        The price for the Tablet is about 320 Euros as well as the Desire HD lookalike. (4.1" screen though.)

                        The Wildfire look-alike costs about 190 Euros.

                        http://www.techpinas.com/2010/10/cherry-mobile-android-phones-complete.html

                        I'm not saying these units, which most people here have regarded as almost like China-copies, but willingly take them for what they are because of the affordable price, would be as good as a Samsung Galaxy Tab, but if its half the price of the Galaxy Tab then I can already hear rumbling of people here buying a ton of Cherry Superions.

                          [deleted post]I'm a nokia fan, I AM NOT CHANGING TO SAMSUNG OR APPLE, but i find this comment very interesting.

                          I dont think this counts as copying, i think is just a copying of a concept.

                          Take the cellphone for example, the first cellphone was manufactured by motorola. Now you can see cellphones everywhere of a variety of brands. Do you blame nokia, apple, LG, SE and samsung for 'copying' motorola?

                          Samsung just tries to provide an alternative to the Ipad. There are some people who prefer an android-powered tab to an IOS running Ipad.
                          As for the price, is kinda expensive, but i think it will go down once samsung releases it.

                                yeah go ahead and brag about your useless iphone 4 and your useless ipad.. you are already in the website where you can compare the galaxy s and the iphone 4 side by side and see how it is a crap compare to the galaxy s and i believe you're not upto date about the antenna issue of the iphone 4 that they never resolved .. actually they resolved the issue buy forcing customers to buy a rubber case that will ruin the iphone 4 design so your carring a handset made in china with a rubber caase and people will never know what brand it is hahahahaha
                                the galaxy s is far better and should never be compared to the iphone 4 .. a SE P990 can be compared to the iphone 4 hahahah the only differece is the camera and the screen resolution but performance wise and capability wise thier the same

                                  people bought samsung galaxy s over the iphone for one reason, because it's cheaper. Since it's Korean no one would prefer it over a European or Japanese product, but because it's cheap people bought it.

                                  But now it's Korean and more pricey than apple loool. Apple are known for their expensive products, but samsung and expensive hehe. You Koreans are really funny, what's next a Hyundai that is more expensive than a Lexus or BMW? Get a life sammy, and remember who you really are, cheap material nothing more.

                                  I'm not being racist at all, but everyone must remember his own league and limits!

                                    Sure at this price people will argue you can buy a Archo 101IT + HTC Desire + another Battery + 2 MicroSD 16GB for each device, but come on!
                                    It is Samsung! The Apple Killer (or something...)
