@King1080p He is just made because Android use the Linux kernel, and it is kicking Apple's ass in market share ... Android market share keeps going up and iPhone keeps dropping more every year... Just like how Linux is kick Microsoft ass in Supercomputers / Server ... In Supercomputers Linux in the lead at 91.8% and Microsoft Windows Server 1.0%. Now Linux is working on taking over the desktop . Sheldon loves "Ubuntu Linux " :)
@FedericoStivan How would playing games on an iphone or itouch be any better then the galaxy tab? The point of a tab is not to put it in your pocket. If i can read a news paper on my 4 inch screen im more then certain reading a news paper will b easy enough
@MrPudding28 I've got an iPad and it works great! I read every day the local and the internationals newspaper on it, watch youtube video and I even use it at school.
The point is that the galaxy tab 7" has been a failure...in fact they didn't sold it well. The 7" tablet are just big smartphone. Maybe the new galaxy tab 10.1 " will be better, but the iPad 2 will kick his *ss...
to quote andy rubin "mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make" this is the definition of an open operating system. anyone can develop it a google release it free to anyone who wants it.
i think the point of different ui's and app stores is choice, id rather have the choice of many different ui's than be forced to use one. also skins like htc sense have shown to be very benefitial to the end user. if you focus on only the bad then how will you ever see the good in products. the problem here is that the tab is not running a tablet os, honeycomb is a tablet os. does this clear everything up?
Does he know about updates? I mean really. It was JUST released. Like the iPad when just released. It had a handful of issues of its own. Espicially with the damn screen. xD
Android's only barely ready for Tablet Primetime (though on smartphones, 2.2 works beautifully -- i can't say anything about 2.3, there's no 2.3 update out for the Droid X Yet), but believe you me, if that Android Tablet motorola demoed is anything to go by Android 3.0 is going to at least cause a dent in Apple's sales, if Motorola plays the pricing game right.
You are so fucking annoying AppleSoldier, your comparing PC & MAC and Ipad & Samsung Galaxy TAB. You always think Apple is better in any way possible. You know I really did not hate you in the first place, But now you're pissing me off. Apple this Apple that. You do know, Because of your childish whining about Apple more people are motivated to buy an PC instead of an Apple. YOUUUU...SUCK!!
@OnbekendGHC I would buy a Mac Mini, upgrade it (the new Mac Mini can let you change your RAM), get an iPad, install Android on it, then install Ubuntu or Windows XP on the Mac Mini, just to piss this guy off.
Don't worry, a lot of Apple fans are pissed off at him, too.
The reason google are "giving it away" is because the kernel that it runs on is licensed by the GPL and as such, if google didn't give it away there would be a gpl-violation. You can get the source code for android if you want. It doesn't get more open than that. As for the iphone being the best selling phone on the market, you would do well to remember that windows is the best selling operating system on the market. But it doesn't make it the best.
Android hype is bullshit. They have these nerdy fans who says android is 'open' and apple is like a evil empire, Which is nothing to do with user experience. And Their final weapon 'Flash' turns out to be useless... This review sounds perfect for me... You can call me a apple fanboy, but the fact is iphones are the best selling phones(for a single line up) and the ipad is the best selling tablet in history and they both topped the consumer satisfaction... Again android hype is bull shit.
@misn100 Well, explain to me, why Apple decided NOT to allow Scratch by MIT Media Labs. It's kid-friendly, a fan made an iPhone viewer for it, then BOOM... Apple stopped it being sold in the App Store.
Also, because of a rule by Apple, some guy made a blog post under the title:
"Apple Bans Firefox, SpiderMonkey, Lisp, Lua, Ruby, Python, Rhino, Java, Opera, .NET, Squeak, Quake, Unreal, Second Life, GCC, GDB, GNOME, KDE, Photoshop, Word, Excel, Flash, Freetype and Zork"
@Habbloxian scratch was coded partly with private api. apple mostly dont allow becuase they want thier platform stable. and most of the things that you said after, mostly arent true.. and there is not a real relation with apples success... BTW.. did apple rape your wife and kill your father? if you dont want to deal with thier restrictions dont use their products...
have you tried it ye emeek? that Samsung tab just feels awful. It's slow to open apps and the physics of just flipping from page to page don't even come close to the smoothness of the ipad or iphone
I wish we could stop this "oh this product is soo good and all others are crap".
The iOS is used on very few specific devices, which of course makes it much easier to optimize it for them.
Android on the other hand runs on hundreds of different devices, which of course makes it harder to properly support all kinds.
They are very different and there wont be a 'winner' or 'looser' in the near future, they will coexist in the smartphone and tablet market. Competition is good.
Just tried the iPad and the galaxy tab. I straight away went for the galaxy tab. It`s definitely better than the iPad. Portable, better user interphase, can make calls from it. The iPad is just plain. Nothing special, heavy, but you get a bigger screen. I also noticed the internet browser in iPad doesn`t reflow text as the galaxy tab, and I guess I and many others buy this tab for casual surfing which we spend alot of time doing on our laptops. So this criteria is so important to me. Tab wins.
The only reason why I never bought any Apple product is simple; I don't like the Apple community, I really don't, their attitude is one of arrogance and ignorance. Nevertheless, I thought the iPod touch G4 was an interesting product so I decided to read some Amazon reviews. The replies that I read to reviews that gave 1 or 2 stars where shocking with things like "You're too stupid to buy an Apple product".
btw you can scale any app on the Tab aswell, it just requites some tweaking and it isn't too hard cause android is open. ;) Just search "scale apps on tab" on youtube and look at the first video.
Wow you still only read a one sided, out-dated articles about a products whos pricing specs and full functionality haven't been released yet to make another one-sided opinion. I DARE you to get the tab and use it make a video about it.... however that will never happen because you know that you will only look like a fool. why don't you get some experience for yourself and stop reading articles you redneck washed up apple fan-boy.
@acreshorts wow, you're posting in a video that was posted 5 months ago when those 'out-dated articles about a products whos pricing specs and full functionality haven't been released yet', came out.
"I DARE you to get the tab and use it make a video about it...."
How about he just wait to see if it sells?
That's like giving him a DARE to vote for Obama in 2012, even though he doesn't like Obama.
How about he votes for what he wants to vote for and you vote for what you want?
If phone companies really wanted mobiles to go back to the OS's the way they were before they'd have made mobile phones with OS's the way they were made before.
I have the IPAD now but only the 1st 2weeks I was so excited but I had the chance to see & use the GALAXY TAB & its a very solid Tablet ( advance hardware than ipad, then the quality is SO GREAT, you can root & do everything in it soon by help of XDA & lots of android guys)
3 things ONLY IPAD has on it ( Much bigger screen but not as portable as the tab, it has more applications then IT HAS APPLE LOGO)
GALAXY TAB has so many better feature & much portable & much solid built.
lol just wait dude the iphone came out one year before the first android phone, and within a year of the release android grew more than the iphone, just saying
Lol if you though that all Mac stuff was better then anything else ever then you wouldn't be talking or arguing about android lmfao I think Ur just sad that android is on 64 percent of all mobile devices now cheers
40% of all web sites ,, haha what Eva . iPad it the king all all what this man said it true and it's grate to have some telling google fans the truth...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
android is shit made for people who cant afford iphones and everybody knows it. it gets viruses and it doesnt have safari, get iOS devices instead you morons
@djAMPxp18 there are some trojans, but not a big deal anyways if you know your stuff, though a casual user could accidentally download one, they're not likely to, as they're not very common, you'd have to look for one
i think google doesn't want a tablet pc with android on it before 3.0 but if companys feel like putting it on a tablet they just say go a head.
i still belive in somthing like a half tablet half eepc. bascily a touch monitor that you can spin 360 degress. only problem then is you need to get it down to around 1-2 kilos max and getting a proper ui skin for windows 7
In life, The one thing you must protect is your "Choice". No matter who says what, you must always be prepared to give up your life for you freedom of "Choice", else life is not worth living at all
@AppleSoldier Yes it's fine if you want to choose Apple. I have an iPod Touch, an Android phone and an Alienware laptop. I find all those products great. No hate for any of them. But it isn't logical to say that the plethora of choices Android handsets have isn't a good thing.
1. iPhone 3G apps look like crap compared to iPhone 4 apps. All the graphics were designed for the lower resolution of the 3G.
2. Are you seriously going to run 3G apps natively sized on the iPad?
With 3 different resolutions on the iOS platform it faces the same challenges as Android. Developers have to adjust their content to work in the "new" resolutions.
There;s nothing wrong with Android, if there were third party hardware companies manking devices for iOS then Apple would run into similar if not completely different problems. It's called capitalism. Vultures like HP or Sony want to capitalize on the popularity of Android and they don't seem to care as much for the user experience. You can't fully blame Google for that.
WOW...just WOW! Before you make a video, you should get all your facts right. "Samsung will be pushing Samsung apps"...kinda like Apple pushing Apple apps? D'oh!!
I'm always listening iPhone users say that the iPhone has more "essential" apps that you just wont get on a android device... could anyone tell me any specific name and it's functionality that any android user wont get? And please games and book stores or music stores are not something I would really call essential since I always rather to do those kind of stuff on my pc not on tiny device...
@josian220 People who i know that have iPhones tell me how much better they are because of the Apps and the browser. I have all the essential Apps i need on my blackberry, there is no app on the iPhone that i think "oh i must have" in fact the googlegoggles is the only app that i can't get where i think "damn it".
Then also for the games i have my DS, much better than any iphone game.
I have an android, and i don't like it. Its always crashing and i can't never do what i want. So i don't know what freedom are all of you talking about because with my android i DON'T have any! I have never seen any "choice" ;)
@kokaPRinter quality and user experience and workability id far predominate and superior to some weak need for CHOICES... apple WORKS! thats what matters
@realmencandance Stop bringing up the apple works arguments, it's crap. Based on my experience with a variety of apple products they don't "just work".
@leodamascus Well, even the market place crashes :/ my note pad, facebook, my tTo do list, my GPs. things like that :/ it crashes every time i am in a hurry -.- even when some one calls mee.
Do you have any apps installed that are meant to run in the background? Those apps should not crash your phone, so it sounds like a conflict with either a poorly programmed wallpaper, a new UI, a task killer (which really hurts you battery life), or similar programs. Do you have any apps like that installed? Also, which version of Android are you running?
@leodamascus Well, a month ago i have them all in the background yeah but now i put them all in a folder. since that, they not crash every time like they did early but still crash :/ i don't know what version of android am running but were can i upgrade it to the latest version?
No no. I don't mean where did you put your program icons. Those icons aren't the programs themselves. When I said, "apps that run in the background," I mean apps that are supposed to do things without you having to run them explicitly, like a new live wallpaper, or something that scans text messages. Have any of those?
Unfortunately, if Android isn't automatically updating itself then updating it manually is a bit of a chore. So tell me instead, what Android phone do you have?
@leodamascus My mad xD well i have just one, an app that scans every text message. I have an Motorola Qlic, the guy in T-mobile sold it to me like an android, so it has to be an android. Sorry about all the questions and my little experience with Android, am a user of android since 3 months now :/ so am not that in to it. So what can i do to updait it?
@kokaPRinter The safest way to update is just to wait. An update's expected by the end of this year. The risky way would be to flash Cyanogen to it, but you'll have to do your own research(I've never been gutsy enough to try it, so I couldn't help). In the meantime, maybe the following would help:
1. Disable motoblur. the Cliq might not allow this, but try pressing menu > settings > applications > manage applications > motoblur > clear defaults.
Continuing last comment due to character cutt off...
Also, don't be shy about asking any Android power user for help. We're almost all happy to help any way we can, and very patient with questions from new users. So there's no need to apologize for being new to Android. We'll work together and get any kinks that pop up figured out.
@leodamascus Well thank u for all of this. So i have to wait to end of the year for an update? I uninstall the text app ;) and what will happen if i disable motoblur? will that affect my phone? or what will happen?
Unfortunately, motorola's kind of slow about updating their phones, so yeah, you'll probably have to wait until the end of the year to update your phone. If you disable Motoblur, it'll change the way your phone looks and works a bit to be more like other Android phones. I'm not familiar with Motoblur myself, but I think you'll like the normal Android interface anyway. It's fully functional, and was built by Google, so it should more likely to work well with Android.
@leodamascus well, lets see how this woks. I hope it works because this week my phone has give me some problems. But man thanks a lot for all this help, i can't ask u for more ;) thank u again.
@leodamascus One more thing man, i did what you told me but it nothing happen. The MotoBlur services app don't let me clear the defaults. What else i can do to make my phone runs more smooth and don't crashes a lot. Sorry for the more questions.
I wish I could help you further. I don't actually know much about the Motorola Cliq, though, so I'm stumped, too. Hopefully the update for your phone will fix it, or at least make it possible to disable Motoblur. One last suggestion to try is running force close on the motoblur app (getting to it the same way). If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas. If that's the case, I guess just don't buy anymore phones that force motoblur.
android gives you choice, apple does not. i guess eric does not like choice. also if flash slows things down then why does a phone like a htc desire load web pages faster than a iphone 4. it also uses tap to zoom better than the iphone 4. apple says the iphone 4 has a 1ghz processor yet its only clocked at 800mhz.
hmmm isnt that the purpose of android open different services lots of choices of devices THE CUSTOMER GETS TO pick what they want. and when you said a cellphone operating system mhhhmm isn't that the ipad and ipod iOS its all the same crap. and why don't you get a real channel other than reading articles
It seems that you always pick at non-apple hardware for the stupidest reasons. if you want to compare 2 device, no matter what they are, you should compare them completely. you always pick little reasons why not to like a device. basically what i'm trying to say is PLEASE TRY NOT TO BE BIASED.
The iPad may not have front and rear-facing cameras, or an SD memory card slot like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, but it comes with something better - freedom from wireless contracts. iPad wins.
Ummm...the issue of apps scalability doesn't mean there is a problem with the device. It means that there is an issue with the developers. In the end, whoever offers the shittyest support isn't going to sell one Tablet. Simple as that. This will be sorted out in about six months as word gets around about who is fucking users over. Native apps will come along at that time. Six months. That's all.
I cant stand using an iPhone app on an iPad. The button placements fell to far apart in zoom mode and using them in the original resolution just looks ridiculous.
Android is opensource (free) anyone can use it, fragmentation gonna happen on an opensource product. have you ever used openoffice? its pretty gud but the logos are jaggy. it happns. i personally don't like the galaxy tab, or any slate device for that matter. I say throw a keyboard and a bigger screen on that bitch cuz i don't want it
I still don't see the point of using any iphone or ipad... I doesn't has any flash, it can't connect to smb servers I think so I wont be able to stream any of my files. Any way I think that wasting more than 200$ for a tablet is a waste I would rather buy a augen gentouch that may not be as fast as any ipad but it only costs me 150$ and I can stream easely, use skype (with nimbuzz), connect the tablet to my smb server, be able to control my iTunes equivalent (banshee :D), browse the web, etc.
The ipad is on AT&T..right. Your about about the choice. Compatibility is a mute point seeing as how most of all the things you do is going to be web based. I'm sure their will be an upgrade to the next android OS. Like remember folks that Ipad need a dongle or a dock enable to use a USB flash drive--->fail.
I would have to agree with Emeek in this video. I would rather be closed and at least have some good quality apps. There's not a lot you can do with 'open'.
I paused this video at 0:00 and haven't even watched this because I know what it's all about just by looking at the comments. I also know that AppleSoldier can be objective at all.
Poor analogy @ the China thing. People choose to use Android devices and support their development from manufacturers with their purchases. One born in China really doesn't have the option to just poof over here.
"they would not allow something out on the market that was "a little ugly""
The fuck do you call scaled iPhone apps? They look blurry and like crap. Why did Apple allow them to be scaled? Why not require all apps to be native. Nice try.
Umm, how exactly is there a lack of compatibility because of Android experience differentiation? First of all, you're trying to view all of these devices as like, one Google tablet. What would be the purpose? Why should all manufacturers make the SAME tablet? Just because they're all using Android doesn't mean they should all look the same and such. That's just silly. What would be the reason to buy one device over another?
@luis61961944 I'd agree. I do like the iPad more then these others but I'd like to see a competitive rival tablet that actually make a difference. I think the issue is most of these tablets are preceded by rumors that the manufacturers just can't deliver. Because the features that people want to see in these other tablets might just be a pain in the ass to provide, either making them too expensive or just not possible. The iPad will be on version 2 before they come out with a decent alternative
I usually disagrees with with you Apple Soldier (because you are both ignorant and a huge fanboy) I have to say that this video was actually pretty goog and you do have some valid points.
However, I don't think anyone should buy a tablet, at all. regular netbook is just as portable, can run pretty much the same programs + more and has a ton of other features, all that while still being cheaper than the iPad and other tables currently available.
Netbooks and tablets (even though the iPad is the only one out there) are different animals but they seem to compete for the similar market. Netbooks is a big compromise of performance because they're basically stripped down versions of average laptops, but the iPad goes in the opposite as they advance in touchscreen technology and they evolve. It's not how many features a device has, but how much more you can do with them.
"It's not how many features a device has, but how much more you can do with them."
And the only thin an iPad can do is browse the web, without flash. 99.9% of the apps are "fart apps" which are fun for about 10 seconds and then get get boring. Yes I own an iOS 4 decive so I know what kind of apps that are in the appstore. Most of them are just browser flash games ripoffs.
A netbook can do more things and it does it better, at a lower cost. You don't get the touch screen but who cares.
I'm not joking. I have my iPod Thouch jailbroken so I can get every app for free, but I am still unable to find decent appls. I pretty much only use my ipod for music and this game called "peggle" since I can't find any good apps.
"A netbook can do more things and it does it better, at a lower cost. You don't get the touch screen but who cares."
How about over 3 million people and counting? And no, not all are Apple rabid-fans either. Apple succeeded where others have failed, and they have gotten along just fine, if not better, without Flash, so bad day for you if thought Flash was a necessity.
Apple has proven that you can have a growing market for a touchscreen device where Flash no longer has relevance and influence on its products. iPad has something to gain, all those millions and millions of websites that use Flash might have something to lose. I see the iPad as a crescent moon that is gradually growing to its full brightness whereas Flash is already a full moon but will slowly diminish its presence and dominance.
@Coraxuss Got any good sources to back this claim up? What about newground? (I really don't know many examples for good flash using websites, but newground is one of them). They seem to be doing well regardless of ipad.
Yeah because websites like Newgrounds have been around long before the first iPhone was ever conceived. Flash had already established its dominance, but now has HTML5 as its challenger. Besides, there are major websites that are adopting to HTML5 standard and this one we're commenting is one prime example.
And so that's supposed to mean that all other websites adopting HTML 5 will turn out shit too? The development of HTML5 has already taken off and so is Apple's iDevice market that uses no Flash. Sorry but that's fact.
Fail android proves its versatility. Its open and gives anyone a chance to make it different unlike the ipad iPhone (ooh changing backgrounds) and you failed to realize at the time Google hadn't mentioned yet how it was working to make android is for tablets

I wish we could stop this "oh this product is soo good and all others are crap".
The iOS is used on very few specific devices, which of course makes it much easier to optimize it for them.
Android on the other hand runs on hundreds of different devices, which of course makes it harder to properly support all kinds.
They are very different and there wont be a 'winner' or 'looser' in the near future, they will coexist in the smartphone and tablet market. Competition is good.

Just tried the iPad and the galaxy tab. I straight away went for the galaxy tab. It`s definitely better than the iPad. Portable, better user interphase, can make calls from it. The iPad is just plain. Nothing special, heavy, but you get a bigger screen. I also noticed the internet browser in iPad doesn`t reflow text as the galaxy tab, and I guess I and many others buy this tab for casual surfing which we spend alot of time doing on our laptops. So this criteria is so important to me. Tab wins.

The only reason why I never bought any Apple product is simple; I don't like the Apple community, I really don't, their attitude is one of arrogance and ignorance. Nevertheless, I thought the iPod touch G4 was an interesting product so I decided to read some Amazon reviews. The replies that I read to reviews that gave 1 or 2 stars where shocking with things like "You're too stupid to buy an Apple product".
I will never buy anything Apple....ever.

I have the IPAD now but only the 1st 2weeks I was so excited but I had the chance to see & use the GALAXY TAB & its a very solid Tablet ( advance hardware than ipad, then the quality is SO GREAT, you can root & do everything in it soon by help of XDA & lots of android guys)
3 things ONLY IPAD has on it ( Much bigger screen but not as portable as the tab, it has more applications then IT HAS APPLE LOGO)
GALAXY TAB has so many better feature & much portable & much solid built.

No no. I don't mean where did you put your program icons. Those icons aren't the programs themselves. When I said, "apps that run in the background," I mean apps that are supposed to do things without you having to run them explicitly, like a new live wallpaper, or something that scans text messages. Have any of those?
Unfortunately, if Android isn't automatically updating itself then updating it manually is a bit of a chore. So tell me instead, what Android phone do you have?
leodamascus 1 year ago
@leodamascus My mad xD well i have just one, an app that scans every text message. I have an Motorola Qlic, the guy in T-mobile sold it to me like an android, so it has to be an android.

kokaPRinter 1 year ago
@kokaPRinter The safest way to update is just to wait. An update's expected by the end of this year. The risky way would be to flash Cyanogen to it, but you'll have to do your own research(I've never been gutsy enough to try it, so I couldn't help). In the meantime, maybe the following would help:
1. Disable motoblur. the Cliq might not allow this, but try pressing menu > settings > applications > manage applications > motoblur > clear defaults.
2. Uninstall that text app if you can.

kokaPRinter 1 year ago
@kokaPRinter
Unfortunately, motorola's kind of slow about updating their phones, so yeah, you'll probably have to wait until the end of the year to update your phone. If you disable Motoblur, it'll change the way your phone looks and works a bit to be more like other Android phones. I'm not familiar with Motoblur myself, but I think you'll like the normal Android interface anyway. It's fully functional, and was built by Google, so it should more likely to work well with Android.

@kokaPRinter
I wish I could help you further. I don't actually know much about the Motorola Cliq, though, so I'm stumped, too. Hopefully the update for your phone will fix it, or at least make it possible to disable Motoblur. One last suggestion to try is running force close on the motoblur app (getting to it the same way). If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas. If that's the case, I guess just don't buy anymore phones that force motoblur.

Netbooks and tablets (even though the iPad is the only one out there) are different animals but they seem to compete for the similar market. Netbooks is a big compromise of performance because they're basically stripped down versions of average laptops, but the iPad goes in the opposite as they advance in touchscreen technology and they evolve. It's not how many features a device has, but how much more you can do with them.

"It's not how many features a device has, but how much more you can do with them."
And the only thin an iPad can do is browse the web, without flash. 99.9% of the apps are "fart apps" which are fun for about 10 seconds and then get get boring. Yes I own an iOS 4 decive so I know what kind of apps that are in the appstore. Most of them are just browser flash games ripoffs.

Apple has proven that you can have a growing market for a touchscreen device where Flash no longer has relevance and influence on its products. iPad has something to gain, all those millions and millions of websites that use Flash might have something to lose.

@TearsOfWar1
Yeah because websites like Newgrounds have been around long before the first iPhone was ever conceived. Flash had already established its dominance, but now has HTML5 as its challenger. Besides, there are major websites that are adopting to HTML5 standard and this one we're commenting is one prime example.
