Samsung Galaxy Tab or iPad?

[Bell]

Personally I'd go for one of those small tablets with an e-pen (or whatever they are called) makes it easier to select data than using your clumsy thumb.

[Spoonguard]

Rereading the original post, where the hell are you getting these insane prices? $1400 is overpriced for an iPad and Way Too Much for a Android tablet, even the galaxy.

[BerG.]

Really? List them.

Haha. My god you guys sound like dickheads.

Why buy a Ferrari? You can do so much more with an SUV. You can carry 7 people, go off road, take more luggage, and are safer.

The Ferrari can't do as much stuff. But, it does go around corners a lot faster, is more fun, and yes, cooler.


So I think you guys need to get over your bizarre 'netbook or you're a wanker' attitude and learn to understand that a lot of us enjoy taking the Ferrari out for a spin regularly - but have the Prado sitting in the garage for when we have work to do.




And just remember, this exact debate took place when Apple first produced a phone with no physical keyboard- now a standard feature of most major smartphones.

Ferrari?

Funny how the dickheads appear when you show up.

I don't think your anomalyanalogy works very well. The ipad is more like a brakeless fixie bike in a world of cross bikes.

My anomaly?



Try sitting on a couch with an iPad and a netbook, watching movies and reading ebooks as the op stated he intended to do. Tell me what is faster, easier, and feels more natural. I doubt you have even used an iPad.

Then come back to this thread in 5 years and laugh at your silly comments and your extinct netbook.

The Ferrari

Did you just compare a Ferrari to an Ipad?

My 1080p blueray SCII at full graphics laptop of doom is more like a ferrari as far as mobile devices go, an Ipad is like one of those new overpriced minis that gives you less features and worse performance than alot of decent mid-range cars at twice the price.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Berg is a strange anomaly.

[BerG.]

Dude, replace Ferrari with any high priced sports coupe that you like, my 'anomaly' still works.

A full graphics laptop of doom is not really a mobile device.

Yes, you can pick it up, but you can't really do anything decent on it without sitting down, placing it on a table and plugging in a mouse.


Where with an iPad, you can check your email while on a roller coaster. If you needed to do such things.

[Bell]

Watching a movie on an ipad compared to a netbook theres like no difference.
Reading an ebook, if you were really into ebooks then you would buy a kindle it dominates the ipad.
Anything that requires input such as emails and web surfing, netbook wins.

[Growler]

Comparing a 'laptop of doom' to a ipad......

hmmmmmmm

How is web surfing or emailing on a netbook easier than a iPad? Last time i used a iPad, it was pretty fucking painless surfing the web.

Now maybe if you had both arms amputated and had hooks, the netbook could be easier to drag a mouse around with using a hook

for the OP, ipad, simpler, easier, more reliable, made for the exact purpose, app store.

[Spoonguard]

If I am on the couch then surely there is a television nearby I could watch this movie on

and a e-book would be much better read on something with an e-ink display. or a actual book!

and in 5 years time I would laugh at the people impulsive enough to buy a horrendously overpriced grainy and glaring LCD tablet. Assuming, of course, display technology doesn't stagnate and hyperinflation doesn't kick in.

While we are getting alil sidetracked I will add.

I watch movies in bed, play BC2 and SCII on the couch infront of the tv, take it on planes to watch blueray movies.
I don't even own a computer desk, it's reasonably mobile and I bet I move it around just as much as %90 of ipad users.

[Growler]

Ahhh spoonguard... you just proved you have no idea about the iPad.

Maybe when you know its actual specs and quality you should chime in again.

I'll get to a website x5 faster than you on your touch screen keyboard.

Good idea.

He should carry 2 devices.

If he wants to watch a movie he can use the netbook since it's 'no different' to the iPad.

When he wants to read a book, he puts the netbook back in his suitcase and pulls out his kindle, since it somehow 'dominates' the book reading area (unsure how).

Again, sitting on couch, iPad is easier for web surfing/emails.

You definitely havnt used one before.

You must have never used an iPad.

In all those situations your are sitting or lying down.

Try using your laptop standing up, I would imagine it would be very awkward.

[Bell]

I have used one.
I have also used a kindle have you?

I also never said the netbook wasn't any good at e-books, the kindle is just a shitload better than anything else.

Sitting in line at the doctors? Again, carrying books is a pain.

Just give up dude. This is one debate where we can say with 100% certaintty you are wrong. It's not even a matter of personal taste, it's just fact.

[Bell]

Kindle son, give it a crack e-ink rocks.

Do you walk around reading the newspaper or watching a movie?
Running into people and walls would be very awkward.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

How do you watch a movie on a kindle?

Standing up != walking

[Bell]

You watch movies standing up?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I don't, I don't have a tablet or iPad.

If I did have one, I could.
