Caught on Camera: Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10

[subaru41]

Too bad it doesn't have HDMI output. I use it all the time with my Xoom playing N64 roms, SNES, and so forth on my Plasma. I think the Asus is the one to get even though it is heavier then the Galaxy. Don't waste your time with the Xoom the Screen is not very bright at all and is not clear. I am selling mine soon.

[citation][nom]MetalPinhead[/nom]Give me one tablet that look like this before the iPad came out...Um, Compaq TC1000. MANY years before Apple showed up with their iPad. Nothing wrong with the iPad though if you are a child, and executive, or wanting something simplistic. As for me, I'll take a meatier machine that is more robust and can truly be a mobile workhorse. iPad is not it.[/citation]

How is Compaq TC100o like an iPad? it's a laptop with a flip screen: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11429_na/11429_na.html

If you want a meatier machine than you buy or build a desktop machine. No tablet will give you performance close to desktop PC...

The fact is that Apple set the design specs for the new tablets, and while all sceptics were laughing at the name, they sold millions of them. Now a year latter Samsung, HTC, RIM, Asus. etc are all coming up with tablets... go figure... although Balmer himself said that tablets have no future nor market....

Looks thin - almost too thin. Bigger size than iPad isn't going to help me, however.

The the product you tested was the previous prototype of the galaxy tab 10.1. The newer prototype is thinner than the iPad.

What do you mean by design specs? Just having a screen and a bezel or is it something else?

Size, format, weight, design interface, battery requirements, proprietary OS.

Prior to Apple, tablets were Windows XP laptops with resistive flip screen, heavy as a brick and a shitty battery life. Now look at how all tablets after the iPad's success came to look just like the iPad.
If they were doing so great why they didnt stick with the old design, or how come they did not come up with something new... The answer is, they know is not going to sell at all, so what is a better way to sell something than copy an already successfully product.
