Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab review: An expanding universe

26 October 2010
Not so long ago the tablet was a futureless species, stuck in an evolutionary dead-end. The technology and the the operating systems didn't offer the right balance of portability and usability to suit its needs. But just look at it now...

why Samsung always does want to be the 'fast follower", not "Creater"? That's why they couldn't be the 'first'...LG, Motorola, Nokia, Sony...they are trying to make a different phone...but Samsunt wants to follow the tale of Apple Inc. No brain company!

          Nick, 31 Oct 2010I dont understand why Samsung didnt bring their top of the ... moreit is extremely difficult to mass produce large amoled at this stage. I have looked side by side of sgs and iph4 screen. iph4 screen is better for most and sgs is only good for blacks.

            I dont understand why Samsung didnt bring their top of the line to this product. I mean mean they are the worlds leading LCD panel manufacturers but they bring in a sub par screen to the Tab. A capacitive touch Super AMOLED would have blown the iPads IPS panel out the water. Since in these tablets the main focus is the screen, there is no reason Samsung shouldnt of brought their best. The price is way to steep for the quality put into the product. Also, with the new version of the iPad already being talked about I dont really see much of a future for the galaxy pad.

                          Anonymous, 28 Oct 2010Picture ghosting due to high LCD response time. what? ... moreYou are confusing "time" with "speed"

                          8 ms vs. 25 ms - which is higher? Higher time = the panel takes more time to respond, ie it has a higher response time, which means it's slower.

                          Think of it like a person's reaction time. If you are a soccer goalie or an F1 driver you probably have a very low reaction time, because you have very fast reflexes. If you are half-asleep or intoxicated, you have a relatively high reaction time because your reflexes are dulled, which is one reason it's so dangerous to drive drunk!

                                        Picture ghosting due to high LCD response time.


                                        what?

                                        you mean low response time.
