@Marko ' That picture... That man looks like he's about to explode. My mind is really only wondering how a person can get so bulbous. It looks like he had his abdomen switched out with a giant rubber bouncy ball...
@Marko. Jabba, I for one am puzzled as to why there is a phone icon on it? You would look like as intelligent as a gungan sticking that thing up to your head to answer a call
@Marko you guys are such hypocrites. When the ipad was announced, you were the exact same people who called it crap for being a giant iPhone but now it's suddenly a great idea when it's a giant Android phone.
...probably because android have been already used several times as os for numerous netbooks/tablets (so we know we'll get a good product from samsung), whereas iphone os is just cell phone os of one manufacturer (it was just its first "tablet" time, you know).
...I'm not sure Marko's "nice!" referred to samsung tablet... It could refer to Marko's feeling, to his condition. At least that comes to my mind when I look at Marko's picture :)))
@palehorse Yes I know, it is BAD NEWS, I was fan of the Notion Ink Adam, because it really has DREAM SPECS, but now their investors want it to be released at thanksgiving. But the world keeps moving, and we have more options: other NVidia Tegra 2, Intel Moorestown, Qualcomm, ARM - VIA. The market will be FULL of tablets by december. Another interesting tablet will be that HP WebOS tablet. Remember December
@Me - so what do you get for commenting first on an interesting post? Lots of emails with unrelated comments! Some of them funny, tho' (: The tablet still looks nice, but not sure how usefull it will be - same as the iPad, I suppose!
lol, how did you get upranked? you still don't get the android tablet idea?
1. true multitasking(4.0 OS versus Android) 2. less restrictive app market 3. flash 4. hardware diversity(Don't like 10 inch screen? Buy a 7 inch one. Too many USB ports? Buy with less one. Can't stand something? >10 more tablets to chose from) 5. carrier diversity
They met half way on Behold owners. from Sam's point of view, the Behold can not be upgraded further than 1.6. The low specification likes a 533 MHZ ARM processor would not be strong enough for the demanding OS like Froyo or Ecclair.
but Samsung should have tried anyway to give at least 2.0 to Behold II owners.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

That picture...
That man looks like he's about to explode. My mind is really only wondering how a person can get so bulbous. It looks like he had his abdomen switched out with a giant rubber bouncy ball...
Sorry, what was this article about again?
Looks nice... but If i want a tablet that cant hit Hulu i might as well get an IPad
@Marko
So it's just a giant Android phone? Meh ;)
@Marko
I think I found a winner for my money.
Thanks Samsung, if nothing better gets released, I am buying this.
@Marko. Jabba, I for one am puzzled as to why there is a phone icon on it? You would look like as intelligent as a gungan sticking that thing up to your head to answer a call
@Marko
Unless this comes with a virus, count me out!
@Beatnik
Samsung, just kill touchwiz, I hope xda developers could release a universal version of HTC SENSE or port it to this Samsung beauty.
@LiqwidZero
meh, just ur average resident in the usa.
@Beatnik
More info:
"There are no details to be had at the moment, but it is running Android 2.1 with their latest TouchWiz interface."

@Marko : I want it! what are the specs??
@Marko
you guys are such hypocrites. When the ipad was announced, you were the exact same people who called it crap for being a giant iPhone but now it's suddenly a great idea when it's a giant Android phone.
@ComboBreaker
I'm pretty sure it'll get the Froyo treatment...
Is that a front facing camera I see
@grahamj
kinda like the iPad huh? :o)
@Marko
I dunno about you, but she said the extra 2+ inches is definitely worth the bang.
@Phucpholuc
Thats what SHE said?
@Beatnik
In other news:
Notion Ink Adam is delayed until November:
http://besttabletreview.com/notion-ink-adam-delayed-until-this-november/
@tonicboy nope, cos this will have a webcam,usb ports and more built in... but unfortunately theres the worrying aspect of samsungs firmware updates.
@tonicboy maybe because android can actually multitask and would play flash?
@tonicboy
...probably because android have been already used several times as os for numerous netbooks/tablets (so we know we'll get a good product from samsung), whereas iphone os is just cell phone os of one manufacturer (it was just its first "tablet" time, you know).
@LiqwidZero

@tonicboy
to quote Leonard on big bang theory:
"what! .........you've never seen a hypocrite before??"
@Beatnik
Noooooo! That news about the Adam is the worst news we've seen here sine MS dropped the Courier!
Damnit.
@Lord Vader
You may be able to use speakerphone and a mic and not need to hold it to your head :).
I am using skype on my ipad to do the same.
@tonicboy
lol. true, but Samsung isn't calling this "magic" nor is it purporting to have created a "netbook killer"
@ady But what are you going to multitask if the app market is not available for Android tablets?
I guess you can multitask the calculator and browser.
@vqro
No problem, someone will ROOT IT someday, then you install whatever app you could want.

@teesquared
Never count on any updates from Samsung. Ask those who know:

@vqro
I guess so
@LiqwidZero
Lol
@tonicboy
well the ipad is a giant Ipod touch.
Cmon' be man enough.
This does look like a giant Galaxy S
@Lord Vader
Cuz probably you can use this device as a phone as well.
@LiqwidZero
totally funny
@Marko
LOL
@Beatnik
It might be on my shortiist as well.
@grahamj
what do you have against it? What makes the ipad so much better?
@Marko
LOL, yeah the device is pretty nice.
@grahamj
meh to you.
@Beatnik
HTC sense is over-rated in my opinion. What is so great about Sense UI?
@teesquared
It might be different, these are just photos that might be real or not.
@tonicboy
lol, how did you get upranked? you still don't get the android tablet idea?
1. true multitasking(4.0 OS versus Android)
2. less restrictive app market
3. flash
4. hardware diversity(Don't like 10 inch screen? Buy a 7 inch one. Too many USB ports? Buy with less one. Can't stand something? >10 more tablets to chose from)
5. carrier diversity
should I continue?
@Smartwater
ipad from Samsung electronics in Suwon South Korea.
Apple take from samsung get low prices from Samsung charge high prices in America. People love to give free money to APple.
@Marko
I hope that's not really you.
@ys
They met half way on Behold owners. from Sam's point of view, the Behold can not be upgraded further than 1.6. The low specification likes a 533 MHZ ARM processor would not be strong enough for the demanding OS like Froyo or Ecclair.
but Samsung should have tried anyway to give at least 2.0 to Behold II owners.
@Lord Vader
maybe to use with headset.
@Idradroda - No, but if I get hungry at work, I just look at my avatar picture, and I lose my appetite!
@tonicboy Or the opposite: Apple people are hypocrites for saying a giant iPhone is great whilst a giant Android phone isn't.
Anyways, I would want to see a Super AMOLED tablet. That would be quite amazing. Otherwise the Pixel Qi is the way to go.
@ComboBreaker wait, who says you cannot has froyo hax, or whatnot?
