Samsung Galaxy Tab vs. Apple iPad

Awesome article Abe! I agree with you that the choice will also revolve around the ecosystem of the device. I currently have an iPhone 4, iPad, MB, and Apple TV. The iPad makes so much more sense than the Galaxy Tab for me since the iPad syncs with everything in my house, lol.

In fact this afternoon I was watching Youtube on my TV via Apple TV while using my iPhone 4 as a remote control for it WHILE surfing and tweeting on the iPad.

Rawr. xD

Sir abe, dito po sa SM Dasmariñas ang IPAD 3G + wifi (16 GB) nasa 26k w/ warranty. :)

clear enough! thank you so much Sire Abe and for always replying to my tweets!

so happy! it is my birthday today and i still check the net to read your blog! it has been my daily habit!

muwah!

Waiting for HP Slate or RIM Playbook..

Sa bandang huli -iPad pa rin ang panalo! Pano kasi wala pa rin matinong competitor itong iPad na hindi ka mabubwiset gamiten!

Apple Fanboys = 1
Apple Haters = 0

sa palagay ninyo wagi din kaya ang tablet na ito kung hindi ito ginawa ng Apple?? Sa palagay ko hindi
kasi Apple is known for its innovative designs and understanding of what consumers want and the rest is just vying for a slice of the Apple pie hehe, yung iPod (MP3 Player) napataob nyo na ba? i doubt it

FLASHFORWARD 2010

Here’s a video by CNET comparing the two tablets.

It might help people decide which is more useful to them.

eto na naman ang mga lalaking talakero or man naggers, nag aaway dahil lang sa mga tablet, sus!!!! ang bababaw ng mga talak ng talak oo mahiya naman kayo sa sarili nyo! sinisira nyo na naman pagbabasa ko ng matinong review…… haaaaaaaaayyyyyyyssssssss

applications that i add every now and then makes a big difference for me. it makes my iPad like a new gadget everytime i install an app. my 2 centavos

as an open minded guy, i respect other people’s preference. no need to make talak talak!!!!

I own an iPad, and I can’t recommend anything better right now. iPad Wifi+3g has to be one of the better mobile solutions available out there. While I’ve been in the position of making the switch, I just can’t trade the functionality this device has given me. Not having Flash does affect on how you surf, It isn’t much of a burden to find other sites which does support html5 video. I’ve heard Flash on Android is pretty limiting too in its current iteration. Btw, iPad+vlc or cinexplayer will give you a very nice portable media player (no need to reencode) not to mention the gorgeous IPS panel.

Maybe until Gingerbread is already out or maybe Honeycomb, we’ll see how the tablet experience with Android will change. Right now I would say get an iPad and an Ideos if you want to experience both worlds hehe

Also, Carlo Ople isn’t bragging about his Apple connected lifestyle. He’s merely stating how locked he is with his current ecosystem. Whatever works ika nga. :)

I’m waiting for the 27-inch iSlab.

I’d go for iPad, since I have my cell phone for the voice call and SMS, also nothing beats watching a movie on a larger screen!!!

But of course the support issue can be a deal breaker to some people!!

nilampaso lang ng android ang ios e.

bluetooth file transfer -check
connect your device to ANY pc/laptop -check
connect USB thumbdrive on your android tablet -check
real multitasking -check
microsd card -check
flash player (froyo) -check
file manager -check
pang totoong techie -check
pang simple at pogi pero may utak -check

btw, i own an archos tablet

Majority of the people do believe iPad is better. then again it is a matter of preference.

You guys should wait for iPad2.rumor says it’ll be released around April 2011 already with retina display and dual cam for face time. it’s not confirmed, but I suggest for those who’s yet to own an iPad should wait for the later release.

How much is the cheapest iPad 32GB WIFI+3G, and where to buy (store)? I want one as a X-Mas present for myself hehehe.

i go for the Galaxy Tab, (and i’m really considering getting one).

and my only reason is the SIZE.
if there’s a 7″ iPad then i’ll probably reconsider.

i’ve played around w/ an iPad, at nabibigatan ako. masakit sa kamay. ;'(

I also debated whether I should get an ipad or a Tab. In the end I settled for the Ipad because of the stability of the IOS, quality of apps & watching videos on a bigger screen. Contrary to other people saying it is a lot of hassle to convert movies for ipad viewing, you just have to download a free version of VLC player which can pretty much handle any video files. Absolutely no regret on my purchase..

I want any tablet device for portability lang, mapa Ipad man or G tab.

But then again, I have my 14in laptop and touchscreen phone…and since it is just a WANT (not need), maybe I can pass pa muna.

It is very informative by the way. Kaya nga kasama ka na sa saved buttons ko ang Yugatech. Hehehehehe

My mom and bro have ipads. When they first arrived, I used my mom’s extensively for a week then I stopped borrowing it. Same goes for my wife’s iphone 4. I gushed at the retina display and speed (as opposed to her old 3g), but lost interest in it in a week. I’ve had my Galaxy S phone for over a month and I’m still playing around with it. What’s the difference? It’s the freedom android offers. With iOS you get to play around with apps and games and that’s it. With android, you play with flashing roms and kernels.

Go to XDA and you can find all sorts of ROMs that can cater to your specific needs. If you want kernels that overclock your CPU for performance boost at the expense of battery life, it’s there. If you want undervolting and underclocking to extend battery life, it’s there. If you want a stripped down, no frills, smart phone, it’s there. And if you want to access paid apps in the market in a country where it’s not allowed, like the Philippines, there is MarketAccess. :)

With iOS, you get what Steve gives you. And what he gives you works nice and smooth. You can jailbreak and get even more goodies. What iOS has over android is that: It. Just. Works. Those who like an excellent out-of-the-box experience, like my wife, should go for an iOS device.

However, an adventurous personality (like mine), will find it restrictive and that it gets old real fast. I love and enjoy the freedom of android. You don’t have to even be technically inclined. There are tons of how-tos that all you need is the ability to read. And besides, Samsung’s S-AMOLED is just…. wow!

apple fanboys = 2
apple fanboy haters = 3
android fanboys = 2

@scorer
yugatech hits (pera) = 100000000

Brand Royalty: How the World’s Top 100 Brands Thrive and Survive [Paperback]
Matt Haig (Author)

Apple products inspire strong emotions because the brand defines the identity of its customers. Just owning a Harley-Davidson motorcycle says something about you, so does owning an iMac. It offers, like all cult brands, a collective individuality. People want to be different, but they want to belong. Cult brands such as Apple manage to satisfy both impulses simultaneously.

Secret of Success
# Revolutionary Products. Apple didn’t invent the computer, but it has revolutionized our perception of it, through user-friendly and attractive technology.

#Anti-conformity. The Apple ethos was summed up in a 1984 advert for the first-ever Apple Macintosh. Directed by Ridley Scott (the man behind cult movies such as Alien and Blade Runner), the Orwell-inspired ad depicted the IBM world being destroyed by the new machine.

#Good looks. Apple products are design icons and cause people to react and respond just by looking at them.

#Emotions. Brands are built around emotion. Products are built around function. Apple’s computer combine both together.

Wew.. Fan boy review. Typical.

what’s wrong with being a fanboy?hehe.the way you comment really shows na inggit lang kayo..hehe..if one can afford to buy a premium Apple device by all means buy it. yung iba kasi dito na nagcocomment doesn’t even own an iPad or any idevices for that matter or nahawakan nyo lang..hehe.. i also have an iPad, iPhone 4, and an MBA 11.6″..sarap nyong asarin guys, bitter kayo kasi di nyo maafford?hehe..i know carlo ople, he’s also from Philmug.ph..
