Has anyone actually used this piece of shit? So today I went to the AT&T Store, and Verizon store to try out the samsung galaxy tab because I want to get a tablet soon. Wow is this the biggest piece of shit I've held in my hands in a while. I was trying to get something besides the iPad because no flash is somewhat of a buzz kill. But after seeing some of the other android tablets out now, I'd be glad to sacrifice flash over the shitty user experience of those tablets. (whatever else bestbuy has on display)
My two biggest complaints over the tab is, the screen is ridiculously small, and it's a not the best touch screen/android interface. The screen is just way too small, it's barely an improvement over a smartphone. Then the interface of the phone, or the screen, not 100% sure which it is on this one is rather laggy. Loading webpages isn't that great with the default browser, although dolphin is really nice, so that isn't even considered a strike against it. But the tablet is slow, the Evo, Incredible, Droid X are really fast phones with the sames specs as this tablet, so why does this thing suck? I couldn't believe how bad this thing was after how much hype it had.
Then I go over and play with the iPad, the screen is large enough to actually have a benefit over a smart phone, but it's still not a laptop or desktop screen. Then the interface and everything just flows so smooth, and it's almost bug-less. Safari is a lot nicer than dolphin, but it still doesn't support flash. But I would say I barely noticed that after surfing the web on it for about 15 minutes.
Which makes me wonder WTF is android tablet device makers doing? Is it that hard to keep up with the quality of apple's products? I've got an iPhone, had an Evo, and the main reason I switched was cause of battery life. I was hoping to get an android device back again. Guess not. Hopefully RIM can make the playbook as good as they made it seem.
