Samsung Shows Off Galaxy Tab, Android Allegiance
cgriffin21 writes "Samsung is making no bones about it: Google Android is its future. And with the revealing of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the company is showing that it's all in when it comes to Android. At the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, Samsung finally pulled the curtain off the long-rumored and teased Galaxy Tab, the electronics maker's touch-screen tablet and answer to the Apple iPad."
I'm disgusted with Samsung Android support having been on the phone with them three times today! I have a Samsung Galaxy S Android phone, it's pretty new having been released in July, but it has Android 2.1 on it. My company runs exchange on non-standard TCP ports, so I need to be able to specify the port when connecting exchange. This is not possible in Android 2.1. There is a public patch for 2.2 to allow this - but Samsung have not released 2.2 for their phone. While web rumours say "September" - none of their support team were able to tell me when, or make a beta or any sort of patch which would solve the base problem (lack of proper MS Exchange support!) in their product. We are buying 8 new smartphones for new hires - looks like we'll have to use iPhones (which we recently moved away from because of battery issues). Samsung can't even move their leading smartphone to the 2.2 platform - god help anyone trying to get support on this pad... JK
That is because you are an idiot. Two connectors are a bad things for lots of reasons, what do you do when they are both plugged in, you need to handle two different sorts of charging, you need more room on a tiny device, people get confused.
That is just a few quick reasons, try using your brain, and you might think of some yourself.
