Weight is dictated by materials and size. Is your argument that Samsung are copying Apple because they're trying to make their products lighter? That's quite a stretch.
Yes because all of a sudden they reduce the weight from 540g to exactly 469g matching iPad Air, the word Pro after iPad Air and iPad Pro rumor was anounced and because they have long history of copying Apple which i have US and Japanese Law to confirm that, just a week ago i thought i saw a Macbook Air but when i look closer it was Shamesung Logo
iPad Air vs Shamesung Tab non-Pro -just some things i wrote
for me money is not an issue how is a SD slot up 64 GB better than 128 GB feature?
iPad Air battery 8,827 battery its bigger than Samsung 1year old specs Lag Pro battery 8220 mAh = 12 hrs vs 3 hrs
Geekbench only shows you A7 power not the iPad Air perfomance (hardware and software confic.) even iPad 2 is probably faster than that cheap ugly tablet
The iPad Air display its near perfection, far superior than the Macbook Retina, iPad 4th, Samsung Lag 2014 and probably Samsung non-Pro
Who the **** watches a movie on a 10" tablet? have you never heard of AirPlay? and what about 4:3 advantages? because 16:10 only has one!
You siding with Samsung 5year old idea Magazin UI Tab because of the software? do you know what free iOS 8 will bring in the next 3 months? also if want more customisation you can alaways Jailbreak your iPad
I don't want to be insulting, but do you really believe that 'Shamesung' reads as a devastating indictment of Samsung? It just reads as a childish insult to me. I really wish people would avoid it because it devalues their point.
I will remember this day as a turning point for both android and samsung. If samsung starts to do its own thing, android will lose market share and developers. Samsung has to find new developers first, but it will finally be measurable how many tizen activations there will be and therefore real market share numbers. Also this will fragmentate the market further and i guess not all android partners like retailers will jump on the tizen train directly.
Will be interesting to see how samsung manages it
I suspect you are correct in part. I want to see the day they do this on their top end phones and tablets before I can say 'that day' has come.
Does someone have any stats on the number of non-iOS users who would purchase content from iTunes? And what that figure might be once Apple releases a phone with a larger screen? I have my doubts that it would be enough revenue to be worth it. Plus Apple takes away one of the selling points of owning an iOS device. Seems to me people who are Android users by choice (beyond iPhone screen size being too small) probably wouldn't use iTunes anyway. Unless there's this huge swath of consumers who can't afford to own an iPhone but can afford to purchase content from iTunes? Is that a large number of people? One of the reasons I owned an iPod (and now own an iPhone and iPad) is because iTunes had content I couldn't get anywhere else. If I could have easily gotten that content and put it on another device I probably would never have owned an Apple device. Sure Apple needs to increase their service revenues but if it's at he expense of hardware revenue is it worth it?
The iphone5's are apples phablet.
3.5" is the perfect screen size
Truth be told, some of their hardware is actually pretty good, such as their 840 Pro SSD.
I'm not particularly a fan of their phones or tablets, and I just hate smart watches in general.
Their latest tablet, the Note Pro 12.2 is horrendous. Just watching some of the review videos you could see the hardware unable to keep up with their UI. Yuck!
You really don't read well -- or are deliberately being obtuse.
Nobody is saying that Apple should make Android apps -- that is another, different, discussion.
Apple makes good money selling apps -- and most say they do it better than anyone else.
If there is money to be made "selling 3rd-party Android Apps for Android devices" -- should Apple participate? It certainly is worth considering by any savvy individual with an open mind.
Certainly there are pluses and minuses -- but that that does not justify ignoring the opportunity.
So you're suggesting Apple could offer an App Store on Andorid devices where they sold 3rd party Android apps? Presumably these would be apps not available in the Google Play store? Otherwise why would people choose to download these apps from Apple vs Google? I'm curious exactly how this would work. Seems to me all of Apple's software and services are geared towards making their experience unique. You want an Apple device because you get software and services you can't get elsewhere. Even if hardware growth is slowing (or margins are getting smaller) I think there are ways Apple can create new revenue streams that don't require them going cross platform, and would probably increase hardware sales. iBeacons, Touch ID could be the start of an amazing mobile payments system. I'd love it if I could pay for things using touch id on my iPhone and just have it charged to iTunes. I think the mobile payment market is a huge opportunity for Apple. And on their last earnings call Tim Cook basically admitted mobile payments was one of the thoughts behind Touch ID.
My experience and intuition tells me that "the mobile payment market is a huge opportunity for Apple" is where the next major breakthrough will come from.
If correct, the potential of that business, worldwide, could rapidly surpass that of any/all of Apple's current product lines -- much as the success of the iPod caused Apple to change its name from. Apple Computer. Inc. to Apple, Inc.
if Apple wants to exploit this opportunity, likely, Apple would want to become the "go to marketplace for things people want" -- to shop, buy, pay for (charge, finance), service/repair, replace...
This is much bigger than the various digital content stores from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and soon Samsung.
So, if Apple wants to be the "go to marketplace for things people want" -- it has to sell the things people want -- to be product-agnostic (within reason).
I suspect that Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos think about this opportunity, quite a bit!

No their not buy an 100$ Shamesung non-smartphone featuring Samsung processor and you prove my point
Haha.... look at that. Another piece if crap from samsung I'm not gonna buy. Seriously everything from Apple stuff. They are trying so hard at copying innovation. Apple please buy them out and get rid of them. Dumb adverts too
With a camera on your wrist, the world is about to see selfies most of us would rather not see. Given the parts of our anatomies our hands (and wrists) migrate to and from regularly (depending on how regular you are), we're going to see selfies only urologists and proctologists would love.
This is just one small step for Samsung to eventually move 100% to TizenOS. With all the Fandroids harping about how great Samsung's Android-powered devices are, Samsung has just been using them as the tools they are to ride on the back of Android, and then drop them like a bad date.
Android's on borrowed time. With Samsung out of the picture, Android will be a generic mobile OS on junk phones, even though it kind of already is. Good riddance.
Not really tongue in cheek ... maybe foot in mouth, o loco en la cabeza :???:
But, just thinking back a few years -- Apple had this mp3 player and an ecosystem of content in iTunes. Both were doing OK! But the big breakthrough was in October 2003:
That move, opening up the iTunes ecosystem to Windows, was responsible for a tremendous increase of sales of iPods and iTunes content. And, to a lessor extent, it exposed WinTel users to the quality of Macs, the Mac OS and ecosystem.
Certainly, Apple is in different businesses today ... but it makes me wonder what would happen if Apple offered a better ecosystem for competitive platforms -- while, at the same time, exposed them to the superior advantages to a total Apple solution.
One of the potential businesses that Apple could enter is general "purchasing and payment" through the iTunes Market™.
Projecting how big this could be -- why not welcome all comers?
iTunes for windows help sell more iPods. What would an Apple Android App Store do for Apple? In fact Apple would probably lose money in that venture as many Androiders don't pay for apps in the first place.

Hey where you at? ohh i think my logic upset him and made him go away! don't worry i'm troll too you don't need to come here anymore i'll come to you to find more like you and i'll put logic in you trolls!

Its a shame that iTunes is a complete abortion of a bloated, system killing pile of turd on Windows. If anything I'd say it helped turn many people off from buying a Mac

As a name I personally prefer Scamsung.
And not Scamscum?

Are there any Android apps not already in the App Store that people would want (or would be useful with an iOS device)?
Off the top of my head I would say Swiftkey.

That when you see a new Apple product you should embrace it and never let it go!
