My Galaxy Tab Experience

[reckless2k2]

I've got a friend that swears by his Tab although he's never touched an iPad. He wanted a 7 inch iPad and still talks about how Apple needs to release it in that/his size. That's why he got the Tab. It was a matter of size for him only.

I messed around with his Tab and one at the Verizon store for about a total of 15 minutes.

• I found the screen rotation jerky
• The overall UI lacking visual appeal
• Navigation throughout somewhat difficult

The overall Apple experience is as smooth as the OP stated. That's why the iPad is the leader and will remain so for some time. And I'm a Linux fanboy saying this.

 

[TBi]

that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.

Why so?

This guy wanted to try out a piece of hardware with the intent to return it using a money back guarantee.

This item will have to be repackaged, reimaged/reset and possibly sent back to manufacturer. This all costs money. This cost is then passed onto the consumer some how. So if you purchase a device from Sprint/Samsung then you'll be in effect paying for this guys "trial" period.

Simple economics.
