They could be challenged and forced to prove the numbers. If anybody was confident enough in the analysts in this case, they could challenge Samsung.
How could they force them to explain? I am curious how you think this works.

Yeah, didn't you hear? Samsung makes Android now.![]()

but the executive got defensive and tried to make it look good by saying the sales was going "smooth" I mean what the heck do you mean by "smooth" when you just admitted the sales wasn't as good as the expectation? That there was no earthquake stopping the Galaxy Tabs from being sold?
I admit "smooth" is not the best word... but English is not her native tongue, so you have to cut her some slack there.![]()
Investors and shareholders. It would be illegal for them to lie about those numbers. Even in the Korean stock market.

Smooth in another language doesn't neccesarily mean what it does in English. It was a misquote. I don't see how people fail to realize this.
Yeah, Samsung is great. They can't even push put an upgrade to their phones.
Considering all the crazy picture threads & post your Mac/iOS device threads on these boards sometimes the 'promise' of great user experience that is 90/100 tried.& true from Apple is enough. Many bought the ipad based on how the iphone performed, many didn't (such as myself) only to find out thAt after a few powerful apps it's a world onto it's own & even better in most cases.
Products schedule to be for sale in less than 2mths after a public demonstration with a few 10's of units show after press isNOT vaporware.
Apple on the other hand is a leader not a follower.
Does Samsung actually produce any worthy products? ... I doubt if their tablet will become ground breaking.
Yeah right...a phone that drops calls if you hold the phone as a normal phone. That's really consistent quality.There are picture threads because people buy and love their Apple products. Apple delivers consistent quality across a spectrum of devices and people like that quality and enjoy the experience. People come to expect this quality which causes them to buy the Apple product if it fits their needs.

People buy Apple products because they feel they are "exclusive". They buy Apple products because they look nice, not necessarily because they offer the best features. They buy Apple products because they tend to cost more, and as such that must automatically make them better, and it's something to boast about. People bought the iPad because Apple made it, not because it was something they were "looking for".
Apple will continue to dominate the tablet market and they will sell as many as they have the capacity to produce.
Only that billions of people are going to have a demand for mobile Internet devices in the next years and decades and only a fistful of them live in the US or will have the money to pay an Apple premium -- while at the same time anybody can build a cheap device with a Linux-based operating system on it.
We will soon (in one to two years) be seeing one hundred dollar gadgets, and that's a market that Apple will NEVER enter, but this is where hundreds of millions of users will be. It's a simple numbers game, just do the maths.
Apple will need to innovate further there is only so much kool-aid to go around. The competition came out strong this year with Dual-Core CPU's.
But if everybody paid attention they'd realize that the iPad may NOT be announced this February so that production of NVidia's Tegra 3 will have Quad-Core cpu's actually the 2nd generation Tegra can scale to 8 cores.
so we'll see.

I have an iPad, but I'd never bother with an iPhone - total trash compared to other smart phones out there. I'd be better off spending the money on an iPod Touch, and then just getting a phone that you know, actually works as a phone.

Apple have no interest in the "budget" market and their share of the tablet sector will fall drastically as other manufacturers produce competitive and substantially cheaper devices.
After Honeycomb has been out a while, production issues are resolved, and all the key items, touch screen, battery, memory etc are all perfected, we may well see perfectly reasonable $200 Asus tablets that work just fine, and people are happy with.

They do. And they voted with their wallets, hence Android's popularity. More cores means higher performance and better battery life. It's just better in every way.
