I spotted a mistake in my comment. What i meant to say was. Audi wouldn't be making cars if it wasn't for Daimler but neither would if it wasn't for Henry Ford. Hope that makes more sense.
In other words, (artists make up) somewhere between 0.067% and 0.3% of the population.
That's a very tiny market to pursue.
There are 1 billion smartphone users in the WORLD. The max ratio of 0.3% would be 3 million buyers.
However, the first Note sold over 10 million, with the Note 2 expected to top that, by perhaps up to double.
Obviously more than just artists make up the people buying the Note. For example, there have been news stories about executives using pens to annotate PDFs and then send them to their teams. I've also seen reports of field contractors using them to take notes on construction diagrams.
Personally, I used to use a stylus all the time on my old WinMo smartphones, to draw diagrams and take notes before going to Home Depot to buy materials. I also used to jot down circuit ideas. Sometimes it's just easier for anyone to scribble down info, or draw a picture, rather than have to type it in.

Not really, since Karl Benz invented the automobile?
It runs Android, has a stylus pen, is made of plastic and will be cheaper than the iPad Mini, so now Samsung will be touted as having the best mini-tablet in the world because Apple has failed to innovate. Wall Street already thinks Samsung is a better company than Apple because Samsung knows how to stuff inventory. Good for Samsung. Bad for Apple. This Galaxy Note seems like it would be a useful product, but does everything Samsung makes have to be compared to some Apple product.
I don't wish to sound critical but saying that Samsung wouldn't be making any tablets in any size, if it wasn't for the iPad is like saying Audi wouldn't be making cars if it wasn't for Henry Ford. The iPad was not the first tablet. Anyone remember this:

Oh, I've just looked it up...your right...my bad. LOL. They do say though that it was the Austin 7 that finally had all the controls in the right place. Anyway back to the topic at hand.

Well they wouldn't be mass producing them at least, which is what Ford is credited for.

This is my first post in a discussion so forgive me if ive done something wrong.
What a horrible argument on so many levels. If you are going to lay claim that Apple hasn't created anything with the iPad and want to use a concept video of a never designed or built product at least use a concept that is older than 1994. Like Star Trek or many decades of sci-fi that describe a computer in something the size and weight of a notebook.
Or how about using actual tablets that existed for more than two decades before the iPad; efore that 1994 concept video was made. You not only have 2 decades of failed Win tablets by various OEMs but Apple's own Newton which shipped in 1993.

Sorry its my first time posting. Do you mean like the tablet feature in 2001 A Space Odyssey?
One minor thing I like, is that Samsung has already brought back a feature that top smartphones used to have :
An IR blaster.
Samsung smartphones used to come with a built-in remote control app for TVs, VCRs, music players, etc. Then when the iPhone came out without it, everyone dropped IR for a while, because Apple didn't have it. Everyone thought that media players would switch to WiFi or Bluetooth control.
Now, years later, most people still have TVs and DVRs controlled by IR remotes, so it's still nice to have a remote control app sometimes.
(Heh heh. I used to use my smartphone to control TVs in bars.)

Guess I better do my homework in future. Hope I haven't caused any offence.

That's another good one.
The problem is saying that a logical and obvious prediction should get credit for the invention. How thick, heavy, fast is the iPad today? If I predict it will get thinner, lighter, and faster in the future do I start receiving checks from Apple and get lauded as some brilliant engineer? Of course not.
Also remember that Apple started iOS as a tablet project but then moved to the iPhone, and then back to a tablet. Being first in technology without consideration for usability because the tech simply isn't capable usually leads to a failed product. Again, look at the actual tablet market before the iPad.
Besides punctuation errors and blatant trolling, no; you haven't done anything wrong.
This doesn't sound like trolling to me. A troll who just started posting would make a claim and then no longer post or get belligerent at any counter-arguments.

I think i saw a video on you tube of Steve Jobs actually saying that the ipad was made first and he saw it and said something on the lines of..."Hey this would be great on a mobile phone..lets do that." Thanks for the welcomeSolipsismX.

Nice try. We've all seen that pic, and all of us (here at least) know full well that tablets existed before the iPad.
