Re: Galaxy Tablet "Hit or Miss"

As an owner of both the EVO and a Galaxy Tab, I would disagree with your opinion. The SGT is a great device that does everything that an iPad can do, at least for me. Music, movies, ebooks, browsing the Internet (with Flash support!), corporate and personal email, apps, games, it does it all.

And it is cheaper than the iPad by a lot... so I don't know how you think the iPad is a better deal. IMHO, if you haven't used one for more than a few minutes in the store, I don't think you have all the information needed to form a proper opinion. I have used an iPad and have an SGT, and for me, the SGT is hands down better.

Also a lot of the time they talk about screen realestate mostly on the web and show the ipad in horizontal mode..while showing the tab in verticle...which desnt make sense to me since if you want as close to desktop experience..horizontal is the way to go..

What makes the Galaxy Tab stick out with 7 inchs is because it fills in a gap..notice a lot of people say they use the ipad instead of a notebook because it is more portable...the 7inch gives those people more portability and when power is needed they use a netbook/laptop...at 10.1 inches I see no reason not to use a laptop/netbook already :/...at 7inchs though a simplifies OS starts to make sense as it is too small for windows...

As for prices on Verizon.my guess is Verizon is trying to apeal to apple via sales by paying out of their own pocket...AT&T ddi this before too with hte iphone and 200$ price

7 Inches is no more portable than a 10 inch imho. I personally own one of the first 7 inch touch screen devices called the HTC Shift. This thing didn't get much use at all. They screen is to small for it to really be usable at all. When web browsing on a 7 inch horizontally you only get about 1/4 of the site if not less which sucks for most major websites today. Now the iPad on the other hand is a dream to browse on.

The HTC shift is a bad example though..800 X 480 and the display was not wide screen..also it was bulky...and a 7inch is definitely more portable..aka its easier to hold with 1 hand and use..the ipad is not as simple to hold for a length of time..

Why would I honestly care about a third party, unintelligent comparison when I have used both extensively, am an IT person, and have formed my own opinion?
