You know what the saddest thing about these articles is? They do more damage to Android than to Apple.
Honestly, this looks like a nice device. Samsung has really been trying to step up their hardware work lately and it’s showing. Android tablets by and large suck terrible and this one seems to have the specs and design to make it a promising offering for Android fans who would want a tablet.
But it’s DoA. Because the narrative- every time- is that to be a success it must “kill” the iPad. Not just beat it. Make the iPad irrelevant. Make Apple close up shop and stop producing the damn thing because it can’t compete. That’s not going to happen. Even if this thing sold great by Android, tablet, or even Apple’s standards- it fails. Because it didn’t “kill” the iPad.
It’s an impossible measurement. Even the iPhone hasn’t actually “killed” Blackberry. But sure, this tablet- hampered by TouchWiz and focused on a market that isn’t much of tablet fans away- is going to kill the single most successful tablet around.
*sigh* Sorry Samsung- your best just isn’t going to be good enough for your own fans...
