I am a linux user but I will tell you guys a couple of thing:
I tried the Galaxy and it is awsome to take to the field. Believe it or not, I would buy the Galaxy instead of the Ipad anytime.
I never played with the IPad and will never will for my current work activities. You apple fan boys need to stop whining like babies and understand that what is right for you is not right for everyone else.
Your super-duper man needs to get over himself too and assume that he makes great mistakes during it's performances on stage. There is a huge market out there, in several industries for that matter, that it's still unexplored. I see and work in some of those markets everyday and when I saw the Galaxy I saw it by the ideal size of the product. I spoke with several people around and they agreed when they tried it.
The people that I work with don't have time to go a Starbucks every week.
Most off you you apple guys are a different type of crowd and Steve has you already. For some the other people like me that does not a give a slick about what happens in your apple world, the size matters and the IPad is too big to take to the field. History will tell If Steve was wise enough and wants to keep up with his statement when he said that tablets smaller than the IPad are dead on arrival.
An Ipad is great for indoor work, I am sure, but for outdoor work apple needs to catch up with the size. Iwill give you an example: I would need a bluetooth camera for me to use the Ipad to take photos. No way I will carry that monster on a my field visits. The galaxy has the right size, fits in my big pants pocket, has a screen big enough to make notes on the photos, and hass all the other functionality of the Ipad that I need. Sure, I pad has a gazillion more apps but the android platform is catching up. then again, how many of you use a gazillion of apps? I need about 10 to 20 apps and everything else is not needed, just too kill time. Since my schedule is pretty busy, I don't have mush time to kill.
Regards.
As you've admitted that you've never used the iPad, why should we think that your remarks about it make any sense? You need to use it first. It's amazing how many tech writers were saying pretty much the same thing about it BEFORE they used one. Afterwards, they reversed their opinions.
As a Linux user, you are already biased against Apple products, so that's got to be taken into consideration as well. There is a mistaken belief that Android is so open, when it's really not. Open for manufacturers and carriers, yes. For users, not so much.
Samsung made a third rate product, anyone surprised?
Well, yeah. they make some pretty fine products. This was done to get in the market quickly. If that isn't done, then Apple wins hands down. Other manufacturers need to be there. We'll see how the sales of this holds up, as the second months sales were 50% below the first going into the holiday shopping season.
Someone finally figured it out! DED can do very well reasoned articles (when he wants to, that is), but he is obviously troll baiting of later.
He can be acerbic and or polarizing with his articles and be correct as well. But he can't do it as well with Android without bending the facts, or with Microsoft as of late.

I think what makes Samsung so bad is TouchWiz on Android, making it an iOS wannabe, not so much build quality. Their monitors and ram are top notch. SAMOLED screens are great too outdoors.
Still, DED's article on his website about the ipad losing its dominance is just about right on: people want an ipad because it isn't a computer with all the complexity.
But whining about acid 3 is dumb. It's just a test, and it puts the worst case scenario to a browser. It's nice to pass, but even if you don't pass 100%, it isn't like your browser sucks either.
I think he makes a point. DED isn?t impartial in his writings. For instance he says the iPhone gets a ?perfect 100/100 [Acid3] score on the iPad? while I suppose it could be argued that 100 of 100 means perfect, for the Acid3 test perfect has another meaning, that is pixel perfect rendering which WebKit?s iOS has not yet achieved. It can?t pass the test without it, as well as completing it within a set timeframe not yet achievable on ARM?s low-power HW.
Overall, It?s a minor point and I don?t think having a passing score versus a 100/100 score or a score in the 90s doesn?t mean anything in the real world. By that same token, Google?s V8 JS engine is faster than WebKit?s but it?s not enough to make any defining difference in the user experience so it all comes down to which browser (or in this case mobile OS) you prefer.
Nice chart on the sunspider benchmarks.
I guess you didn't read the part where they said that iOS made heavy use of the GPU (where Android does not) and therefore the tests are pretty much worthless as a comparison?
But whining about acid 3 is dumb. It's just a test, and it puts the worst case scenario to a browser. It's nice to pass, but even if you don't pass 100%, it isn't like your browser sucks either.
Except in the case of Internet Explorer, obviously. That sucks big time, especially 7 and below :P
To make lots of money. They have already broken 1,000,000 unit sales.
Lots of unit "sales" does not automatically equate to "making lots of money" (i.e. profit, not revenue). You only have to look at the sales of Android handsets to see this fact. Apple has sold less smartphones than all Android device manufacturers, yet it commands a disproportionately LARGER percentage of the profit or something similar.
The problem with these articles is Daniel Eran Dilger in previous articles has twisted the truth and written blatantly one sided articles attacking anything not by Apple so often I now automatically assume the opposite. It is like the boy who cried wolf.
Now I'm not planning on replacing my iPad with the Tab (or any of the honeycomb tablets coming next year), but if the Galaxy tab warrants a "html5 is not as good as the iPad" story, I immediately assume that overall the Tab must actually be pretty good and a legitimate competitor to the iPad or Daniel Eran Dilger wouldn't have bothered writing this piece.
And the techtard trolls jump right in.... this wan't Daniel's review but that of another independent expert you twit.
I guess you didn't read the part where they said that iOS made heavy use of the GPU (where Android does not) and therefore the tests are pretty much worthless as a comparison?
Any disadvantage iOS has will of course be mitigated as much as possible by DED.
The main reason why Android is faster is due to 2.2's enhancements, not due to hardware. In any case, a GPU isn't going to accelerate javascript anyhow. It will graphical stuff, which is what he was going on about in the article.
Of course DED isn't going to point out how the browser is faster on what most people do with it, browsing.
It seems like, as many people here have said, non-apple hardware/OS's have been pushed out half-baked... But it's always been like that. Before the iPhone, no one phone or device had any real relation to any other. Apple picked up "families" of devices that are all high quality and released at predictable times. In short, you're buying into a reliable legacy that carries over indefinitely. There just isn't anything to count on... Going with anything else is like going 2002 all over again. And that nasty off-white color that all electronics came in... BTW HTML5 is nice

Apple isn't perfect either. Their iOS 4 broke the touchscreen deactivation feature when putting it up to your ear. Their macbook air needed updates for screen issues, however that was minor in comparison.
And just this moment, my dad updated his ipod touch 32GB to iOS 4.2 and it again lost all its content. F'in a.

What we see happening is that companies making Android based products aren't just competing against Apple, RIM, Nokia, etc. They are also competing against each other. I keep saying this, but people don't seem to be listening. One reason why they've been streaming to Android is because Win Mobile has been dying for some time,, Symbian is a losing proposition, and Android, being new, and giving them a chance to differentiate themselves is they way they see it going.
Of course, if Apple licensed their OS, there would be no way Android would have gotten out of the lab. But as it is, they see each other as being threats as well. So they change the way it looks and works. They're even starting their own stores, and who knows how universal those will be? Unless Google reigns this in before it's too late, we won't be seeing Android products, but Samsung, Motorola, HTC, LG products. All will be fairly incompatible with each other as will be the programs. Then Apple might emerge as number one, even if they're below 50%.
Acid tests are useful, but they don't tell the entire story. Rarely will a user notice if something isn't being rendered properly.

Yeah, I agree. That's why we have the so called "fragmentation" issue.
Course if you want the best supported phone it would be anything Nexus from Google.
If apple licensed their OS, LG would then undercut them with an Optimus phone haha.
It's pretty strange that the ads (both flash and non-flash) don't display well on an Android Device. The OS being from Google and all...
We will see how the honeycomb tablet fares, as I think it is a better comparison to the iPad. Galaxy Tab was really a first crack and in many ways was just an oversized phone from a phone manufacturer.

Don't get your rant, if you don't care at all about Apple, why are you on this site, and why the very long rant concerning everything bad that is Apple (in your eyes).
You feel that Apple needs to make a device that suits YOUR needs and forget about the other consumers.
Plus, like all you androyd fan boys, you always have a dig at Steve Jones, whs is this, have you all been programmed to behave like this ?
Anyway you may de-register yourself from OUR site, yes OUR site, it belongs to people who care about Apple, this criteria definitely does not fit you.
I guess you didn't read the part where they said that iOS made heavy use of the GPU (where Android does not) and therefore the tests are pretty much worthless as a comparison?
Actually, the tests aren't worthless. Since the iPad and iPhone were much faster than most of the other phones - even without using the GPU, they'll be even faster with it.
The only thing you can't tell is which one is faster when another phone beats the iPhone without considering the GPU. You need to know how much the GPU speeds things up to answer that.

Really? It has nothing to do with two cores on some of the Android phones? Or more RAM on some of the Android phones? It's all about optimization? I'd love for you to provide some evidence to back up your silly claims.
As for GPU accelerating javascript, that would depend on what a specific set of code does, wouldn't it?
I love the way you throw out all this crap as if you know what you're talking about - yet you NEVER provide a shred of evidence to back it up.

iPad cant run flash, so says over lord jobs. Hey jobs maybe you can put Android on your next iPhone, maybe sales will pick up. LOL
You do realise for the longest time Apple has had DIFFICULTY MEETING DEMAND for the iPad/iPhone 4?
I think they're just about getting on top of it now. But implying that iPhone sales NEED to pick up only goes to make you look stupid.
Then I suggest that you simply stop reading anything with Dan's byline. Then you wouldn't get your tighty-whiteys all tied in knots.
Move along, there's nothing to see here, keep moving please...
These are not the trolls that you're looking for.... Move along.... You want to go home and rethink your life...

Frash is interesting because it proves one of Jobs assertions: battery life on my ipad went from 90% to 25% in 40 minutes.
Frash also caused some stability issues, so Frash went in the Trash.
What did you expect? It came from and android build, it runs shoddy at best on the tab, and is a mediocre deployment at best.
Oh....and it's from Adobe.
Jobs did get this one right. It's funny that android platforms are advertising flash support as a selling point feature.
