Apple is just a pesky little fly in the eyes of samsung...soon they will be squashed like the bug they are! Bwahahahahaha!!!!

    Great strategy, as usual, for Samesung: they basically flood the market with 1000 different models, most of them totally crap devices, and at the end of the day they will have the market share throne ....

                Day 1: Buy android with high expectations and promised of tons of features and great "specs".
                Day 2: Realise some features do not work as intended.
                Day x: Lag starts to creep in unexpectedly, as you install more and more stuff. realise you might need the next android version to fix.
                Day x+1: No updates / no new features / no accessories. You start grieving.
                Day y: Say its a POS and move on.

                  AnonD-209094, 11 Apr 2014No Android tablet can challenge the iPad as a gaming device... moreI think it's pretty dumb to buy a device not fit for your purpose and then call it POS later. Buy what fits your purpose. I know what I'm talking about, I've owned three (3) iPad generations ending with the Retina 3rd gen version before moving on to Nexus 10 and giving that Retina 3rd Gen iPad to my wife. I left the iPad not because it was bad but it was no longer fit for purpose.

                  And people do not buy cheap stuff, it's false sense of savings.

                  This is why the iOS ecosystem and the idevice in particular seem to be so great. Apple ensures that they sell only high level devices that will showcase their operating system and UX.

                  Of cause if all companies did that then the poor people would be left far behind.

                  The only problem is people do not buy things fit for purpose. I have no regrets with moving on to the Nexus 10 because it is fit for purpose and is by no means lower quality and standard to an iPad, it's just not made of metal. I don't game with it so the iPad Air does not have a leg up on it due to faster chip. I use PS3 for gaming and my phone.

                      Samsungs pro series are more expensive than ipad air. When it comes to app quality and updates apple rocks. Just buy ipad + apple tv and you have ultimate media environment.

                        As far as tablet PC goes, iPad is still much more superior than Android.

                        My choice for Tablet PC:

                        1) iOS
                        2) Windows 8
                        3) Android

I am a big android fan, but battery life, # apps., and facetime, tips the scale. Not to mention, it's user friendliness. It's unique package in the marketplace. This goes beyond brand loyalty.

                              Have you even read what I said? Android tablets can't beat Apple iPad's App Store quality on gaming, business, imaging, sound editing and that's that. It's a fact!!! Play Store has iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband? Infinity Blade 1,2,3? NO! I'm not saying that the iPad itself is better, but the Apple ecosystem, and the App Store

                                    Seems like Android and Samsung will become leaders in Tablet area also,but I don't worry about Apple at all because Apple will survive as second or third as usual in the end like Microsoft and Apple's Mac in PC/desktops/laptops/desknotes' area till now.
                                    Cheers!

                                        Well, no tablet can beat Apple's iPad, and that's because of the Apple Store exclusives in the gaming area, and business too. I'm no fanboy, this is a fact!
