What comes in your mind when someone asks you about Samsung and Apple? Well, if someone asks me that, I would say that both companies are currently going through a hard time. We know that Apple recently sued Samsung over Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab, and then Samsung sued Apple too, so currently there is a cold war going on.
Samsung announced Galaxy Tab 10.1 at MWC which is the thinnest tablet available in the market and it’s really a big challenge for Apple iPad2. Do you think Samsung will miss any chance to make fun of Apple? I think they will never miss a single chance to do it, and they really didn’t miss it. After the break, you will see a promo video of Galaxy Tab 10.1 where Samsung is trying to tell you that it’s time to Tab. At this size and weight, the Tab is just as portable as a mobile phone," Richter said. Samsung said that the Tab's battery would support seven hours of continuous video playback.
The Tab will launch in Europe in October, and all the UK's mobile operators will offer the device. There was some disappointment at IFA that pricing details were not available. Samsung said this would ultimately be determined by operators. "Because the Tab offers both voice and data, the operators will have a range of different subsidies they can offer," a Samsung spokesman said. "We're still working with operators on their tariff plans." "We will work very hard to deliver a very competitive price," said DJ Lee. Analysts at CSS Insight said that the Tab is likely to be positioned as an "operator-friendly alternative to iPad", but warned that pricing will be "crucial in the competitive tablet market."
The ability to make voice and video calls over the Tab may be a key differentiator in the competitive tablet PC market. According to Richter, mobile operators who sell the Tab are likely to offer a "two Sim" solution, so that a customer could run the Tab and another mobile phone on the same phone number. The Tab runs the latest Google's Android mobile phone application, and will have full access to the Android Marketplace of applications.
Lee said that "80% to 90%" of Android applications will work on the device, but he admitted that some of the most popular applications did not run well – probably due to its sreen size. He said Samsung had been working with Google and the developer community to fix this problem. They will tell you the reasons to buy this tablet and there is also a scene where iPad2 got owned by it.
Well, iPad2 users and fans don’t take it serious because Samsung is just messing with you, iPad2 is also an amazing tablet and it’s still ruling the tablet market, so no hard feelings. Check it out below and I am sure it will put a smile on your face.
