How long before Samsung and other tablets have a reduced bezel like the mini??

Other manufacturers will have a reduced bezen when they make screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Genuine question, like which one? I haven't seen a Galaxy Tab with less than a really chunky bezel.

Samsung have been using thinner bezels in a fair number of their devices. The Galaxy S3 and Note are recent examples of this, and their more expensive HDTV models put most of the competition to shame. I wasn't necessarily just referring to their tablets.

Um but every smartphone in existence has a thin bezel. We're talking tablets here. Up till now, every tablet has had a uniform bezel just like the iPad (hence that big lawsuits between Apple and Samsung).

Well that didn't take long, story on BGR that Samsung is preparing a 7" tablet.

I'm sure it will be completely original.

Or there might be an outside chance they've copy the iPad mini except w cheap materials and better specs.
