Come on Apple, you're not going to let this little punk Samsung walk all over you, are you? Don't call your lawyers, call your engineers and tell them they will not see the sun until an iPad Retina Mini is in production. Do it!
Lol are you really that blind?
The iPad mini only had 2 options. Retina or the current resolution. It doesn't matter with the note, because a phone app is a phone app.
I remember the days when the Android fans sites used to discuss Apple products.... now days they don't even bother and AI can't get enough of Android. Maybe this site should be called Android Insider.
Yeah, because they come here and troll. What "karma"?
They were "invited" to come troll here because AI posted an article about a new Android device. That's exactly what AI wanted - more visitors, more clicks, more ad revenue. No karma, just $$.
It's proven that multi-tasking improves productivity and saves time.
The thing is, humans aren't actually good at multitasking. And, interestingly, recent research indicates that those who think they are good multitaskers, tend to be worse at it than those who don't think they are, and that multitasking (as opposed to being engaged in a complex task) tends to diminish overall productivity. So, maybe what Samsung came up with here, to the contrary of what they claim in their ads, is a way to kill your productivity on a tablet, phablet or phone.

So can the iPad. So can my Mac Pro. It's a phone? I realize that hefting around a ghetto blaster that took twelve D batteries was hip in the '80s and early '90s, but a Mac Pro on one shoulder would take the cake. You'd wind up looking like this:
You don't need to hold the tablet or Mac Pro up to your shoulder just use a dorky blue tooth headset. It's not for everyone but would certainly work for a lot of people.
For that matter, I wear hearing aids and I can get ones that are blue tooth so I wouldn't even have to wear the dorky headset.

You still need to carry the tablet around with you. Some people don't care about this, but I briefly owned the Note 2 and learned to resent it, and that's just 5.5". I can't imagine carrying around a 7-8" tablet-phone.

There are many times I wished I could have two windows side by side on the iPad. They both don't need to be running, but I do need to see what is on the screen of both. Having to switch back and forth between two apps is a PITA.

Take note, Soli; Bluetooth headsets have been downgraded to 'dorky'. That's a pretty big step for them, considering.

You're correct that you would have to carry the tablet with you all the time, but a lot of business people do just that.
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:
This is my first post in a discussion so forgive me if ive done something wrong.
Not at all! Post away! No one argues that apple made the first tablet. They have been out there for years in various flavors. Apple was the first to get it right in terms GUI/hardware that made it a viable platform. Just like they did with with the first ipod and the iphone/smartphone. These wern't firsts, just market changing!
Is that bulge in the top middle of the back the camera? This thing will wobble like crazy when laid on a flat surface. That alone would be a deal breaker for me. Bad design...again!

Understood, but I can think of many situations where I would not want to carry an 8" phone around with me. Business people are not always at work. Imagine taking a jog with a Note 8. Perhaps I could switch out the SIM card to a dumbphone or another smartphone, but now you're adding complications.
I admit that this is just my preference, though I'd like to hear from people who used the old 7" Galaxy Tab that doubled as a phone if they got sick of it.

It would certainly look funny if you would carry it in your breast pocket.

Maybe, although, it's not really that much of a pain, I do it all the time. But it makes things more confusing and complicated for many people, and it doesn't come without a cost to at least battery life, and there's certainly no evidence available that it will generally increase productivity on tablets, let alone phones. As for the 16 app nonsense, I can state without fear of being contradicted by future evidence, that running 16 apps at once, all visible on the screen, will definitely decrease productivity on a tablet.
Also, when we talk about multitasking on "desktop computers" that often doesn't involve having every open window entirely visible, but requires bringing different windows to the foreground to work with them. This idea that for multitasking on a tablet to be "real", all open apps must be simultaneously visible is entirely misguided. But, then, consider the source.
"It's NOT innovative to support such wild capability as watching a movie and surfing the net at the same time."
Yup, Windows 3.1 did that so it is simply removing that heavy layer of dust from current computing technology
What the dissenters are pooh-poohing Apple for is what finally made the tablet market successful after decades of abject failure. You could run as many apps as you wish on you Win tablets since the 90s but it was a pointless pursuit.
Now these same people who said the iPad would fail are still claiming it's a failure because it can't run 15 videos at once in the background while you watch a YouTube video of a cat playing the piano.
