A puzzle about the reviews of galaxy note 10.1'
I am really puzzled. The reviews by the "experts" are overwhelingly negative, but the reviews by the actual users are overwhelmingly positive. This is really a strange phenomenon. Too bad that our local bestbuy refuses to put a demo for the device (because they don't want to be amazon's showroom, I guess). I am truly puzzled.

Not so strange, the same thing happeded with the 5.3" Galaxy Note. Just goes to show the definition of "expert": The only thing it takes to be an expert is to be willing to call yourself one.
BTW, I love my SGN; and I'm an expert on what I like! |

It is there that the "Apple Way" and the "Apple Gospel" is preached. The Apple Way and Gospel are: 1. 3.5" is the perfect screen because of the span or reach of most people's thumb, unless 2. it is an Apple iPad with it's 9.7" screen which provides magic. 3. Stylus are useless, and in fact detrimental. In fact they may cause baldness. You will note that Jobs tried a stylus and it had some effect on even him. 4. Thinnest is next to Godliness (equate to Appleness) 5. Apple invented "shapes." If you follow those tenants you will see why the Note was derided, and just about everything that might compete with Apple is both wrong, fattening and probably illegal. |

The gospel will have to be rewritten when apple release the 4" all new, magical iphone. Will it create a crisis of faith in the masses that were lead to believe 3.5" was the truly magical number of His Jobsianess?

Don't you see that all "shapes" don't belong to Apple? If a Samsung shape is pricked, doesn't its battery discharge like any other? Is there no decency, Sir? (... pardon me all, dear sirs and ladies, if i seem a bit flustered... ) |

*A disconnected reviewer often is looking for something that users have no interest in or the reviewers themselves have no interest in the product and put little effort in the review. This is incorrect there are Android tablets with the same build quality and resolution as the iPad 3 (Transformer 700). The model you happen to pick does not. When it comes to hardware it is very hard to make general comments on iPad vs Android since there are so many different products out there for the Android devices. There will most likely be one model that invalidates your statement. |
