Samsung: 'We're not doing very well in the tablet market'

[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;34913364]I think Android tablets have a different problem. They are the upstarts, the challengers to Ipad. Therefore they need to offer more for less, which they have not been doing. This means if they come up with an Android tablet that is as fast as an Ipad, has a screen as big, has an OS as responsive, has as much memory and storage as an Ipad, and so on- they STILL have to be cheaper. Why would the average consumer buy an Android tablet if they could get an Ipad for almost the same price?[/QUOTE]
Lots of tablets have larger screens than the iPad, take the TF101. The TF101 also has a chip comparable to the iPad, has significantly more storage capacity due to an additional microSD card slot, and compatibility for full sized SD cards and external hard drives. (I carry way over 500 gigs with my TF101) The tablet itself is significantly cheaper than the iPad, and the docking station added still leaves it cheaper by twenty quid or so. The OS is responsive, I've had less than 4 crashes (as in having to force restart) in 6 months of very intensive use, and no minour qualms against it. The CPU is roughly the same, and the battery life is 8 hours or more, and another 8 on the dock. Topped off by a gorgeous quality gorilla glass screen.
Strikes me that it offers a significant amount more, with very few cons (other than mass, it weighs quite a lot)
[QUOTE=The Baconator;34894474]32GB is more than anyone would need for a phone...what do you put on there :v:?[/QUOTE]
To be honest, I probably would be more than content with 32 GB. My phone currently has a 16 GB card, and I seldom ever come close to filling it. And at least the Galaxy Nexus won't ever have the problem my Eris had early on in its life. You only had ~70 [B]MB[/B] for apps and cache. Until the phone was rooted and someone came up with apps2SD, filling the internal memory wasn't an uncommon problem.
Google just wants apps and your general data like music to be all on one partition.
I got a 32gb card, got 20gb of music, a load of gameboy games, syncs to about 8gb of dropbox content, hardly any space left.

I filled up my 16 GB once.
Upon further investigation, I had an ISO of a Windows 7 installer on there that I apparently forgot.

I know that feeling all too well.
Had close to 1 TeraByte of junk on my fileserver I forgot to delete, was wondering why it was almost full.
