Those companies still not get what they are doing wrong.
Even tho I don't like MS at all, I think they are the ones that still have a chance, but only because Nokia's CEO actually understood why Apple is doing great at the moment.
I give you time NokiaSoft, I won't buy your products, but I believe that you will be the one to pull a good competitor to the iPhone/iPad.
I don't even own an iPadAnd I'm not a shareholder. I'm just going by the sales numbers and user testimonials. Apple is doing something very right here.
Yes. It's called MARKETING.

"Apple made it very thin."
Samsung literally sound like they are sitting around thinking about what Apple might do next and preparing to what they think Apple are going to do.
It doesn't sound like they are making any attempt to do anything other than copy Apple.

If that is the case, then it makes his statement just absolutely pointless. He could then easily add to the list of firsts:
- First tablet with screen shipping in volume
- First tablet with cameras shipping in volume
- First tablet with RAM shipping in volume
- First tablet with touch screen shipping in volume
- You get the idea
Wow I completely forgot about the JooJoo.

Says they are building next gen devices.
Really??? LOL I'm glad your back at the drawing table again, maybe they should just sell DIY kits that start at $99 at least the geeks will have fun with that
if the 7" tablet cost them $900 I assume the 10" will be ummmmmmmm $1500 dollars Lol what a joke to even design or consider to sell..... FIRE THE MANAGEMENT TEAM AND CEO....
If apple sold a 7" tablet it would start at $299 at least lol.....Samsung needs to just focus on their strengths and improve upon them... Tablets or computers in general are a weak point for the company.
I have a washer/dryer set by Samsung; and when I wash my clothes and see their logo, I sometimes think of them making a tablet and have to laugh.. It's pathetic... and if I'm not mistaken, don't they even manufacture construction equipment? what a joke.
If you click on the buy button @ thejoojoo.com you get this:
Anyway if you arguing was a case of 1, considering there was only one, that makes 100% of the times.
Now we got two(HP Slate, Joojoo) and that's make 2 of 2 = 100% still.
That's not a bad thing. Samsung is doing OK. At least their products are of better build quality than Motorola.
can anyone explain to me how samsung makes chips for apple, yet both their product lines are in direct competition? ive always wondered about that.
im sure theres alot of corporate mumbo jumbo involved, but any ideas anyone?
They are two separate business units.
- Samsung's chip unit is well-established and generates a lot of revenue.
- Samsung's consumer tablet unit is relatively tiny, generates very little revenue, and probably won't be profitable for a while even if you assume rosey sales projections.
If you were runnning Samsung, would you tell your chip unit to stop selling to Apple because your tiny tablet unit wasn't competative?
Are you trying to be sarcastic?
If your statement was true, the PS3 and Xbox 360 should have trounced the Wii in the marketplace. Specs matter to the extent that inadequately spec'd hardware can hamper the user experience (sometimes through lack of performance), but having the "top of the line" specs does not guarantee that the product will be usable any more than having less than "top of the line" specs guarantees the product will be unusable.
The old saying sometimes used in less than polite conversation actually applies here:
"It's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it."
Yes, every other phone, tablet and computer company will be bankrupt in a year and Apple will take over the world. And they won't care at all about making their executives rich, just making consumers happy. They never overglorify products, bend the truth until it's a borderline lie, deny obvious issue with their hardware / software, diss developers, or hold any information from their loyal fanbase. And the 10,000 commercial I see a year is just to educate the consumer.
Boy, you live in fantasy land don't you.

Dude I know all tech companies a greedy, but at least they make a product that's usable to the masses.... What evidence do you have that the xoom or galaxy tab is helping kids with learning disabilities?? or is widely used by doctors???
Give it up man, its clear that apple has no competition... your looking at it from a cave mind mindset.
Are you aware that Samsung manufactures TVs, LCD panels, RAM, CPUs, digital cameras, refrigerators, washers etc.? Do you know that Samsung Galaxy S 2 is going to be thinner than iPhone 4 (9mm vs 9.3mm)?

Wii succeeded because it had innovative control/sensor. This is a very important spec.
Chill out...
I would like for others to innovate and produce something that apple has not. That would be competition. Copying what apple has invented feels cheap and uneasy, and people know this.
Helping kids with learning disabilities? Yeah, that was Steve Job's goal.
Man - you have it BAD!

Their spread to thin, cause they want everybody's money in every market then can think of.
They should really slim down their product divisions and line-up......Apple is doing all this by selling only 13 total products dude... they have 60billion based off only 13 products....thats amazing it self....samsung has like 50 products that they sell lol
Wait...I'm a little confused. Is the HP Slate something that caused other companies fear, or is it something that got canceled? I thought you were saying it was a great product, but now you're mentioning the JooJoo at the same time so I'm not so sure that's what you meant.

I think you just don't get it. Apple was not trying to make it a 'first' or portray they were 'first'. It was simply a jab at Motorola/Samsung and others that they are not going to sell well. Also, it works both ways.
No matter what hardware they pull.
Until they don't have an ecosystem = no platform = no apps = no sales.
From Nokia's CEO's letter:
THIS is the only thing that counts. I'm happy that NokiaSoft is taking their time to pull a - hopefully - decent platform for their future handsets and tablets.
