Android Tablets Were Born Too Soon
adeelarshad82 writes "When you look at the Apple iPad's sales figures, it's not hard to see why every technology company on the planet is jumping on the tablet bandwagon, a lot of which are Android tablets. Unfortunately though, some of these Android tablets were born way too early. They are haunted with a series of problems including flimsy hardware, low-quality resistive touch screens, serious display resolution issues, and old Android versions with limited or non-existent access to apps. Even the Samsung Galaxy Tab came well before its time. Even though it's fast, well-designed, and comes with a decent Android implementation, its functionality is limited to that of an Android smartphone. So here's to hoping that Honeycomb's functionality make up for the lost ground."
Seriously. It reads like an Apple fag whine.
1) Tablets are NOT being adopted by many tech companies because they are worthless for doing actual work on.
2) Most Android based tablets kick the crap out of the iPad, hardware and software-wise.
3) Resistive touchscreens are superior to capacitive touchscreens in many ways.
4) Calling the Samsung Galaxy Tab a glorified Android smartphone when the iPad is just a glorified iPhone is ridiculous and hypocritical
Even trying to watch a film on the iPad is painful, what with its obsolete 4:3 aspect screen. adeelarshad82, go back to using your iPad for the only thing it's good for, posting what you had for breakfast on Twiitter.
