Thanks for the history. It actually appears that we're going backwards: It seems to be a little-known fact that Blu-Ray players displaying 1080-line material are limited to 24 fps. If your TV can't switch to that framerate, or the player and TV can't handshake on it, the output defaults to 720p at 30 fps.
I always wondered what the 120 Hz refresh rate on new TVs was all about when 60 is already overkill for the signals they're displaying. I finally realized it was to resolve this problem?if the incoming signal is 30 fps, each frame will be refreshed 4 times, if it's 24 fps, 5 times. The Player doesn't have to know anything.
No, that is incorrect.
If your HDTV is not capable of 24p, then your Blu-Ray player will just give you a 2:3 telecine type pulldown for interlaced output at 1080i.
This is similar to DVD players able to do the exact OPPOSITE --- they take the interlaced signal, inverse telecine the video --- and recreate a 24p frame. No resolution changes.
Except that reviewers are saying the same thing. And, more importantly, reviewers are techno geeks. It's what they do, and love. For them, a geeky UI is great. Look at what they said about the Palm Pre and WebOS. But WebOS is terrible for everyone else. It's too complex, and isn't obvious. What I've been reading about Honeycomb seems to be similar. Once you figure it out, it's fine. But the average person buying these things doesn't want to have to figure it out. Honeycomb is much more complex than Android.
Battery life only 2 hours? No. Standby life was already clarified. Those who complained about it may be right, but others find it just fine. But if I got people opinions about the ipad from the forums of anandtech, I would think that the ipad is crap because they have a overly negative view of apple.
Sales volume or not, the Galaxy tab has 4.5/5 stars rating on Amazon. Is it better than the ipad or ipad2? No. But I doubt with that rating they have that absurd return rate.

Since I made no claims about the Xoom one way or another, that's a strawman argument.
Quoting financial analysts who have gotten their information directly from Xoom users is worth something. It may not paint the complete picture but it does echo what many other users have said and it gives some idea as to why the Xoom tablet is selling like shit.
Yeah, thanks for proving my point.

Of course, judging by your other argumentative posts in this thread, my guess is you're not after any real truth or facts. You just want to argue your flaccid stance and bicker about pointless insipid bullshit, like who really wrote some article nobody read on some techgeek website only ubernerds care about.
Good for you. Way to live.
Uh huh. I guess that puts melgross, solipsism, DED and all the people who got high off their benchmark article in that category. Funny how we only quote from Anand when it suites DED when Anand, as a complete apple user, went into great detail about the antenna gate issue, mentioned the unpolished state of the original ipad, or his other issues with apple. Unlike DED, I'm going to get the REAL picture of apple's products, not from an apple apologist.
So you can take your "bullshit" and keep it right in your mouth.
