02 September 2010

One thing, GSMArena keeps reporting that "they haven't done their TouchWiz magic to the homescreen or the main menu" but being a Galaxy S owner that is TouchWiz on the Home screen and app launcher it is certainly not stock android. Though I am not a fan of TouchWiz I definitely believe it is more necessary on a tablet than the phone as the 3 homescreens of stock android is to limiting.

      Can we get a few things straight apple did not invent the the tablet they just made it popular. I think this tablet is the happy medium. Think about it you could come surf your email watch a film and make a couple of phone calls and using threw same device and there would be a hands free kit included. It won't replace your laptop.I like apple products but they are just to slow in adding function. Come on a camera was a easy for ipad why didn't they just do it.

It is very unfortunate that the AMOLED isn't incorporated into this great device. I would pay a bit more for the AMOLED technology. Hopefully they will add that in their future Tabs.

          I am in no way an apple fan, but samsung seriously needs to stop taking design/software cues from the iphone/ipad.

            sitcoms, 02 Sep 2010it will become more expensive if you put a amoled on a 7"besides making the device more expensive, AMOLED is in short supply. HTC had to switch some of their AMOLED phones to TFT because of supply problems. I'm guessing that is why Samsung also went with TFT on the Tab.

                So clearly the Tab doesn't have a Super AMOLED but does it at least have an AMOLED? Damn, hopefully it does.

                        looks like a cool gadget. Samsung is going in the right direction lately with Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S and Wave. keep it up.

                                wow. just when the ipad was released, these companies has now been making tablets like crazy as hell. sure there were tablets before the ipad, but none of the other manufacturers took it seriously and didnt think of it that much until the ipad had its success.
                                same goes with the iphone. before the iphone existed, i remember how touchphones had stupid resistive touch technology and a not so touch friendly ui. and look what happened after the iphone. multi-touch, awesome ui, and etc.
                                and also the operating systems we have right now. before the mac existed the existing OS's didn't even have a user interface and had no mouse with stupid commands. and now... we even have multi-touch on laptops and such.
                                and i remember the android os before the iphone was released. it was originally on the form factors of blackberries. and now it's for touchphones. even though androids probably better, it still doesnt change how it got its inspiration from the iphone.
                                i dont wanna sound 'fanboyish' but these stuff is really true. apple really is a great company.
