A) Samsung already has a 12 inch tablet, so how is Samsung trying to one up Apple ?
B) What does an 18" tablet have to do with Apple in the first place

Who are they trying to impress?
They are going to kill their own Phablet market with such a huge device. Make it into a phone.

I think those are found at racetracks.
I thought MS was on to something with the original Surface, because it was a true simultaneous multi-user device. No one had done that before (or since). While the Samsung image has four people attacking the tablet at once, they're using a single app (supposedly).
Finally I will be able to control the tablet with my feet. Long Live Laziness! ☺![]()
Samsung may be working on an "iPad Pro" style tablet of its own, with a new report from SamMobile suggesting the company is currently in development for the tablet, codenamed "Tahoe," on an Android 5.1 Lollipop-based operating system and with an 18.4-inch screen. Samsung would target the tablet to enterprise and educational environments, with a lesser focus on day-to-day personal usage than the company's current line-up of Galaxy tablets.
The rumored tablet -- with the model number SM-T670 -- will feature a TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The Lollipop system will be powered by an octa-core 64-bit 1.6GHz Exynos 7580 processor, include 2GB RAM along with 32GB internal storage, with the option to expand thanks to a microSD card slot that supports up to 128GB cards. According to SamMobile, the tablet will also measure 451.8 mm wide by 275.8 mm tall and be 11.9 mm thick.
Apple is rumored to be developing its own larger-screened tablet, the so-called iPad Pro, which is believed to include a 12.9-inch screen. If Samsung's 18.4-inch "Tahoe" device does become available, it'd be one of the biggest tablet on the market, with a screen that's about 10-inches tall by 17-inches wide, far larger than most standard laptops.

Thank you Samsung for giving me some good laugh, this thread is hilarious (but not as hilarious as Samsung Maxi Pad Pro Plus s)
Folks on SamMobile aren't all that excited either, look at the comments: http://www.sammobile.com/2015/08/21...uge-android-tablet-with-an-18-4-inch-display/
What I want to know is not the size, but the weight. Does it come with a free bodybuilder to carry it around?

And there are external monitors with 20+" that can be separated from their stand and contain an Android device. They however are more than an inch thick and weigh three kilogram.

And the Jukebox was in before the iPod. Weight becomes an issue with tablets as they get really big. The cut-off point where people don't even like carrying it around in their house or don't like to use it on their lap might be between two and three kilograms.
It won't be 'for nothing', after it fails to sell it will cost at least a dollar for a 30 day trial.
I don't see how a 120 ppi tablet is in any way an iPad Pro competitor. Maybe it's useful for something (portable Netflix tv?) but it's a totally different product.
