Everyone has made good, decent, and poor arguments for both sides. Why choose one over the other.
But remember, this article is about why people are returning the TAB. I think the winning argument is because there is no real need for it, YET!
Someone mentioned that Apple products are innovative, and another that they have a cult following. These are the two main reasons the iPad was such a success. It IS cool, and it IS nice to use. But in reality, there is no real world reason why anyone Needs a Tablet, yet!
The Tab is missing three things Apple's iPad is not:
1) First to market an innovative product (innovative in that it had never been seen, not particulary because it is a disruptive tech. like the original iPod)
2) Cool factor. Apple dominates in the "details" department, and those details are damn cool. The UI is always silky smooth, the screen looks nice, the device feels amazing to hold. It is almost as if functionality itself is a feature in Apple world, and no one else cares enough to make that happen. Whether or not that is technologically more advanced that Andriod is unclear to me, but it is also completely unimportant. Apple always wins the Cool Factor award.
3) Cult following. It is exactly that the iPad is a bigger iPod Touch that people want if. How many people do you know who have an iPhone, or iPo touch? A lot. And a majority of those people would not mind having a bigger version laying around. And even more so, a large majority of that sub-demographic specifically has the resources to buy an iPad without blinking twice.
The bigger question, in my mind, is whether or not Tablets can solve a real need. That is to be seen. Until then, no one will do as well as Apple in the sales department. FACT
