I think he's saying that because Apple makes outsized profits, nothing else could possibly be any good.

It is a common viewpoint around here.

This is an interesting notion. But it still runs afoul of the idea that either you've got touch targets that are the wrong size, or developers now have got to target a third screen size. Either route is problematic.

And it's entirely possible that all Samsung wants to do is disrupt Apple's market. Someone mentioned an NDA. But NDAs don't apply to bullshit that you make up.

How about apple getting rid of the border around the ipad. That should knock an inch off. Edge to edge active screen. No need for a third screen size.

Want some examples?

"Steve Jobs admitted that Samsung Galaxy is better than iPhone, thus decided to sue Samsung for plagiarism."

"Samsung founder Mr. Lee taught Steve Jobs how to ruin a company in 1980s. And now Mr. Jobs turned Mr. Lee's favor into betrayal, suing Samsung."

"Apple is guilty of infringing Samsung's patents." (deliberately omitting that patents are under F.R.A.N.D. agreement)

"Several American media praised Samsung Galaxy over iPhone, saying that Galaxy is world's best smartphone." (I discovered the original posts and found out, they chose Samsung Galaxy as the best Android phone, not the best smartphone. There's a huge difference between two expressions.)

"iPhone fever in China is false. All the Chinese people waiting in line in front of Apple Store Shanghai are hired by Apple." (that was a misinterpretation by a Korean journalist. Some of that people were actually hired by other rich people who want iPhone on their hands first, not by Apple. But the journalist never published a correction. Guess why.)

"Steve Jobs was afraid of Samsung Galaxy, so decided to put Tim Cook on stage instead of himself. Thus he can blame Tim Cook's inadequacy for iPhone 4S' expected failure." (one day after this press is published, Mr. Jobs died. Then, this preposterous internet article magically disappeared, without any explanation.)


These are tiny evidence of actual article headlines published last year (there are a lot more). And most of Koreans believe what they read, with ignorance of our(Korean) presses are under Samsung's control. (exclude me and a few.)


This is why Republic of S.(south) Korea is actually pronounced as Republic of Samsung Korea(삼성공화국).

Mr. Lee taught Steve Jobs how to RUIN a company? Um, that's most probably a typo, but it's hilarious in its irony. (Not laughing at you for the typo itself--my fingers get ahead of my brain too.)

Apple really needs to find other vendors fro the parts that Samsung now supplies, especially the processor and display. Taking that business elsewhere would negatively impact Samsung and could reduce some of the ridiculous FRAND litigation they are suing over.

On the other hand, Apple must not be reckless. As displayed with the new iPad's display, other vendors are simply not yet up to the challenge. I'd love to see Apple switch to Sharp for displays and TSMC for processors. Even though Sharp might compete with them in the mobile (and potentially, the TV ) arena, I don't think things would be as nasty as they are with Samsung.

Oh man I've wanted a borderless tablet for ever now. That would be the coolest. The nearest I've seen is on my Nokia N9 and Nokia Lumia 800. In fact it will probably be Nokia that comes out with the first borderless tablet when they release their Windows 8 tablet this year. Fingers crossed of course.

Apple also needs to cough it up and pay for the development of some tech, so much effort, r and d, and money, is being placed on non reflective coatings for screens and apple just gets a great display and sticks on top a horrid untreated glass as on the iMacs? Are they going to start paying to develop any new tech or are they just content to see the small players coughing it up and antagonising for new technology while they go and appropriate it later on based on their clout and established product line up?

I know aren't they the worse pieces sh*tt. I would rather have some random Chinese plastic tablet for 200 bucks. At least with those I could do what I want with it and not feel like I was locked up in some room without windows.

Wait what, Apple isn't using Gorilla Glass? That's insane, oh my gosh I was wondering why my iPad 2 scratches so easily. WTF, I'm sorry but this is a big, big mistake. Are you sure? I need to look this up, be back in a minute.

Edit:

Your right, they don't. I always assumed due to the price. You know what I have a few scratches on my iPad 2 that I never new how I got. My Asus Slider which has Gorillas Glass doesn't have a single scratch on it, I'm not abusive towards it but it is my main machine and it is in my bag everyday, still looks like the day I bought it. My Apple iPad which I baby has scratches all over it and I wipe it with a cloth. Man I should have known.

This really isn't right, I'm sorry but the iPad is the most expensive tablet on the market. You have Motorola now making all of their tablets water proof and scratch resistant but Apple says no, f*ck that.

Not nice Apple, not nice at all.

it just doesn't make sense for apple to release a 7" device. Apple redefined the portable market with the 9.7" screen. Everyone else decided to copy and say well, lets make it look like it...but make it 7". (Samsung Galaxy Tab? Remember?) I don't see apple doing this. To me it seems like they would be going backwards. They may, but i just don't see it. Same thing with the TV stuff. It just doesn't make sense. Apple TV will "suffice" for $99.

Why? Your not thinking this threw, ok Apple has a 3.5" iOS device then the next step up is 9.7". Nothing in between. You might not understand but the millions of customers that Samsung, Barnes & Noble and Amazon sold 7" inch tablets to last year, do. I for one love my Samsung 7.7 tablet, best form factor ever, regardless of what Jobs thought. It fits nicely into my busy mobile life and a lot of other people agree as well. I get 12 hours of battery life out of my Samsung consistently, I charge it once every 3 days and it still has 30% on the charge when I do. So if Apple can match that, well they'll have one heck of a buying frenzy on their hands.

Let me tell you. The iPad2 (and new Ipad) is nice but too heavy. The iPhone screen is too small. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 has a beautiful Super AMOLED screen (1200x800) that is what Apple wants. It is vastly superior to yesterday's IPS LCD! the Tab is also very light, thin and has a 10+ hour battery. Apple has to compete with this superior tech.

The first thing people always ask about the kindle fire is "oh this is the $200 tablet right?" The millions of people who "enjoy" their toy isn't because of the features it carries, but the price tag it has. You are a worthy exception because its always great to see tablets and mini tablets in the workplace. But no 7" tablet can begin to match up to the iPad. Its hard to call anything 7" a tablet. Just a color, multimedia e-reader.

Well the Samsung is 7.7 not exactly 7 and it's very, very usable. So much so that anyone who has used to a 10 inch tablet would have no problem using the Samsung. Apple due to it's screen ration would most likely use 7.8" and that is a very usable resolution. Are you just guessing here or have you used a Samsung 7.7 tablet before because I would put money down that if you played with it for a week you would be begging Apple to come out with one of their own.

No. The two facts support the same thing. Samsung is releasing news that will cause their share price to rise. They're at an all-time high right now.

It's too easy to activate a borderless tablet by mistake. If it's small enough to hold in one hand, that's one thing. but a 10" tablet is clearly too big to work well without a border to hold it with. I'm not sure about 8", but my guess is that it would be too large to hold without a border, too.

thanks for posting that, very interesting. it's sad that some people can be so petty.

as for the rumor, my guess is that the screens are going to be for dedicated remotes for the apple TV. that would make for a slick remote (with or without Siri), that would also function as a controller for games.

edit: speaking of petty, after reading Galbi's post, I'd like to add that I give major props to Koreans in general for their design talents, so many great designers (see yankodesign.com). it just appears that none of them are working in Samsungs mobile computing device department haha. they really need to transfer whomever made this beauty:

do you read anything you quote before you comment? because your comments are retarded in this thread.

I didn't say anything pro-samsung, neither did emacs...Zither is always sarcastic or mocking, and Sensi? I dunno his deal yet haven't seen enough of his posts.

Relic offered a rather indepth reason behind his preference of a 7in tablet and his desire to purchase this rumored 7.85in iPad.

Spacevater simply saying a company other than Apple may have superior tech in some regards isn't pro-Anything, it's simply FACTUAL...Apple may have the best mesh of tech (hard and software) but that doesn't mean they always have the best tech.

Oh get off your Apple is the only company that can possibly make quality tech high horse. What am I talking about Apple doesn't manufacture anything, they develop. Samsung is one of the most innovative company's when it comes to screen technology in the world period. I would never own a flat screen TV that wasn't manufactured by Samsung. They are the best, just as Apple is the best at designing computers, I didn't say manufacturing because they don't do that, they hire company's like Samsung. Why because they can make things like the Retna display possible. We all have a dream but it's finding good people to make those dreams come true that's the hardest.

Oh and the reason why us so called payed by Samsung employees jump to the oppourtunity to praise them is because we own a product by them and it's probably incredible, just like you do with your Apple products. Me to, I do the same with Apple,

Yea I guess your right, the more I think about it I would be doing a lot of wiping. Just thinking at how it would look though makes me drool. Functional or not, yea I still would want one.

Why are you guys evading my question - originally posed to Spacevater - on what the market acceptance for this 7.7" Samsung product has been? If it's been poor, why? If you think it's not, any proof?

Who cares what a few Android geeks think in an Apple forum. All you guys ever go on about is the wet dreams you have with some obscure Samsung product.

You guys get off it. Indeed, get off here, if you please.

Some of that people were actually hired by other rich people who want iPhone on their hands first, not by Apple. But the journalist never published a correction. Guess why.)

"Steve Jobs was afraid of Samsung Galaxy, so decided to put Tim Cook on stage instead of himself. Thus he can blame Tim Cook's inadequacy for iPhone 4S' expected failure." (one day after this press is published, Mr. Jobs died. Then, this preposterous internet article magically disappeared, without any explanation.)


These are tiny evidence of actual article headlines published last year (there are a lot more). And most of Koreans believe what they read, with ignorance of our(Korean) presses are under Samsung's control. (exclude me and a few.)


This is why Republic of S.(south) Korea is actually pronounced as Republic of Samsung Korea(삼성공화국).

Very Orwellian! Almost unbelievable!

Who cares what a few Android geeks think in an Apple forum. All you guys ever go on about is the wet dreams you have with some obscure Samsung product.

You guys get off it. Indeed, get off here, if you please.

Let me summarize his original comment as well as offer further commentary for you so you can possibly understand (which is doubtful since you appear to have the cranial density of lead)

Of ALL the comments in this thread only one was obviously anti-Apple...only one comment in this thread was decidedly pro-Samsung...

Spacevater said, to paraphrase for you, I'll try and keep the words at one or two syllables:

"iPad = good. I like Samsung 7.7 due to weight and better portability plus deeper blacks. it is a good product. Apple needs to compete here."

Now considering that spacevator owns an iPad and likes the 7.7 and prefers it's size...wouldn't that suggest that he desires to actually get the iPad 7.85 if it were to be released? Could you not read that between the lines? It's quite obvious actually.

you need to familiarize yourself with Zither...90% of the time he's being either facetious, sarcastic, or mocking...the other 10% of the time he actually makes good posts. once you familiarize yourself it's rather easy to discern which is which.

Also the market acceptance for almost all tablets has been poor...thanks largely to the popularity of what is arguably the best tablet out there...the iPad.

Plus pricing, and ecosystem suck for Android tablets as well. Also until ICS the OS itself was a slapped together POS.

Nope I was here waaayyy before you ever were so I think I'll stay a while if you please.
I wasn't talking about the performance of Samsung tablets on the market just that there is quite a few people that would appreciate a iPad 7.8 tablet.

Commenting on your post I was talking about Samsung's display market in which they are king at the moment just like Apple is in the tablet market.

thanks for the lesson, but I think I, anantksundaram, and likely most of the people here, would rather the trolls just leave so we can have a productive discussion

about those screens.. anybody else think apple is coming out with a 1080p resolution remote for their TV? this rumor makes me think apple might actually do the TV thing.

I think both are simply 'throw them off' rumors designed to keep the competition scrambling to lie about their own products and waste hundreds of millions preparing for a storm that won't ever come.
