Ipad or galaxy tab?

[lastlid]

Hahaha !

[lastlid]

i thought you was talking about your massive 64GB ipad , oh 64gb hdd were what err 7yrs ago in pc's

well I struggled for yrs with a 400gb hdd, so i dont know what i do with a massive 64gb ipad,

Like I said before, no need for a lot of gig on an iPad

[lastlid]

no need for one on holiday got my smart non Apple mobile if i need an email, built in camera etc. dont need a bulky pad i cant fit in my pocket.
in the air, most airlines have pretty good selection of films\games you can watch and play as dont spend enough time in the air to justify having one, same reason for not having one in a car, why the need to ?
kids both have nds Xl's
even thou i've got a hp touch pad with android never hardly use the thing, only reason i bought it because i got it cheap.

i just dont need to use the inet when am not at home or work, and if i really do, i've got my old trusted HTC mobile.

According to you, Joe, there is no market for a tablet.....

Only in the US, not the rest of the world.

Samsung, or anything for that matter, running Android is much better as its open source software, whereas a lot of Apple stuff is locked to Apple products, and it takes ages for Apple to update it's OS, Adroid updates can be pretty rapid. Samsung products are usually more expandable, replacement higher power battery, memory, etc

Its bound to have knock on effect elsewhere.

Lovely, Ded.......who does that sound like...obviously someone who doesn't buy cheap coffee and drink it in equally cheap coffee houses ...and who's got a penchant for people, mainly his superiors driving Italian exotica....

Keith. I know. There are drawbacks to both systems. But you are the only one so far that is able to point out a genuine drawback. Many others mentioned earlier are just nonsense.

I have nothing against Samsung. I have a Samsung TV and have had one for a good number of years now as I prefer them. I just prefer Apple when it comes to phones and tablets. And there are advantages to Apple products as you probably know.

If I had my way I would have a microsoft based system at work as I know it. One of the drawbacks of Apple is changing to Apple Macs is that when you have been used to Microsoft all your life they are a bouger to adapt to. But at least I am happy to say that. Some folk simply have an unrelenting built in bias.

Nice to see a well balanced slant from you guys...

I know nowt about phones and pads mate...just enjoying the banter (and learning a few things).

The term 'brown nose' springs to mind ...anyway you.. What's nonsense about stating the fact that iphone have a monstrously shorter shelf life than say compared to a Samsung...you cant change the battery!...you cant expand the memory...its a throw away phone...totally un serviceable...who benefits...I'll give you a guess, not you..the iphone lover

Not biased here, just stating facts...facts a man of your age and presumed intelligence should know......I ask ya...

[joebloggs]

well i had to admit i do have an apple product, a I pod nano 4th gen, i didn't buy it, it was given to me a few years ago

its a good Mp3 player better than most others i've had. and no earlier today i shoved some clothes in the washing machine, and when it had finished a 60c wash , first thing i saw was my Ipod

little chance of opening the bugger to dry it out, but gave it a few blasts with the misses hair dryer and slowly but surely its come back to life

it appears to work ok now, but has got a bit of moisture btw the black light and screen, but hopefully it will evaporate..

i dont hate apple products just use to the vast range of pc products, 3rd party products, open source and s/w you can get compared to apple products.

[gWaPito]

Nice one Ded

Ipod huh...that reminds me...I had, in fact I've still got it, be it utterly useless...I bought a 60 gb for £300 back in 2006...very nice until I worn it jogging...same story as Joe's. Condensation and sealed units are like oil and water.....that's not the reason im against Apple, like I said until Joe mentioned it I'd forgot about it....

[grahamw48]

I haven't progressed from my Sony Walkman yet...always meant to get one of those that took CDs. Just never seemed to get round to it.

[grahamw48]

Glad I opened it for a look. I need to check those batteries...they must have been in there 10 years.

I bought this little fellow in Hong Kong in 1995:

[gWaPito]

Like life ...it was all very comfortable and simplistic in those days...trouble was, some didn't appreciate it.

[grahamw48]

Haha...just stuck those batteries in and she fired up perfectly.

It has a mains facility too. Groovy eh.

Kept me sane when I was working shifts down the tunnel in Hong Kong.

Lovely, definitely a blast from the past
We sure have got it tough now

[grahamw48]

Yeah, back in the late 90s I used to buy Computer Active magazine to keep up with everything, put together my own PCs etc, understood simple programming, but can't be bothered now that things are advancing by the minute. Just gives me a bloody headache.
Now I get things as and when REALLY needed.

It depends what you want to do on the device. If you want it to connect to the internet via 3G then you need a 7"/10" Samsung Galaxy as the cheaper models have only wifi.

The new Samsung Note II comes out next month which has a 5.5" display, that will have a quad core.

[gWaPito]

Thank you for the abusive private message lastlid yesterday at 0820 hrs...never in all my 5 years on this forum have I received a message like that

All the more sad when coming from a self proclaimed teacher.

You are now honoured to be the first and only member to be on my ignore list.

Btw...you shouldn't take things so personally..if that's your nature you think again about being so vocal on a forum...have a happy life

[grahamw48]

oooops.

[gWaPito]

oooops.

Didn't realize he was such a sensitive soul...perhaps his feminine side making an appearance...who knows....what I do know is, I dont dwell all day on whats being said on here....like you said, its only banter...most of the time good natured and good fun.

In reply to your final post here on Monday Graham...yes, other things take priority in life...what was important yesterday could well be put in the nonsensical bin the following...such is the rich tapestry of life

[grahamw48]

This time I will keep my big gob shut.

[tone]

I'd certainly entertain a Samsung and the Galaxy Tab 2 can be had for about £230 after the, cash back offer at the moment.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gala.../dp/B0080OYLM6

That's almost half the iPad price and well worth it in my opinion.

Good luck

BAD APPLE

SUMSUNG cannot escape the opprobrium heaped upon it for purloining Apple patents.

But the over the top reaction of Apple to its victory over a rival is typical of a monopolist in action.

It seeks to use every weapon it can to beat up on rivals so as to eliminate competition.

iTunes has vacuumed up 70% of the paid for online music market, newspapers must pay heavily to put content on the iPad and now it is seeking to boot Samsung and the Android off its patch.
How Pleasant.
