I Finally got my Galaxy Tab 730 (8.9") and after using it with iPad 2, I felt SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 8.9 product is light years ahead of iPad or any other Apple Technology even iPhone 4S.nnHere is a short list of what advantage you can have over iPad2; Reasons to consider the GALAXY Tab 8.9:nn01. You have USB mass Storage (Which iPad lacks); that means just plug & play and copy & paste. Its that Simple.nn02. Significantly higher resolution screen i.e. 800x1280 vs 768x1024 of iPad2 ; More than 30% higher resolution screen.nn03. Galaxy Tab 8.9 has Higher PPI screen i.e. 169 PPI vs 131 PPI of Apple iPad2 ; Around 30% crisper display of text, images and video.nn04. You can have Full Resolution Photos (whereas on Ipad iTunes, it reduces the size while syncing).nn05. Bright, vivid screen of Galaxy Tab 8.9 : TFT LCD that means Brighter and more vivid colour reproduction.nn06. Much-Much lighter than iPad2; Around 30% lighter. Galaxy Tab 8.9 = 447g & Apple iPad2 = 601gnn07. Galaxy Tab 8.9 has Much newer Bluetooth support 3.0 whereas Apple is still on 2.1 ; Typically faster data transfer and lower power consumption connecting to other bluetooth devicesnn08. One of the Important feature is the "Bluetooth" which works perfectly for sending and receiving any files with PC, Laptop and my phone. But on iPad, bluetooth just does NOT work for sending files! Which is really irritating.nn09. Faster max data speeds HSDPA (21 mbps) vs HSDPA (14,4 mbps) of Ipad2 ; Higher theoretical max data transfer speeds over cell networks (around 50% faster)nn10. You dont have to use any software to "SYNC" like on iPad. on Tab you Just drag and drop any file from Windows Explorer. Apple's Drawback: iTunes.nn11. Unlike iPad, Android supports FULL multitasking and you have "DESKTOP" with Live Widgets (which Apple can only dream of... :P).nn12. It plays more music file formats and video formats than iPad. You dont have to sit and CONVERT videos to get it to play. Yuck !!!nn13. MOST IMPORTANT... Its ANDROID... in my case, i consider it much better than Apple's IOS.. Android 3.1 way-way ahead of the current generation of IOS in terms of features....nn14. Its screen aspect ratio is better than the iPad 2, on iPad to video playback has black boreders.nn15. Dual Core Processor in Mobile Technology was Launched by Samsung in Apr 2011 (S2), where Apple just launched its dual core with lessor processing power in Sep 2011 (4S).nnSo You can see how APPLE Corp. is light years behind Samsung, HTC, Sony or even any other company running in India.
Hello All, I received Samsung Galaxy Tab 730 about 2 days now.nFrom the time I have received this tab, its not getting off my hand.nnPros:nAll the features available with other Tabs and Pads is there in this Tab, so you need not compare Tech Specs with other Tabs.nnYou do not lack any feature except voice calls (not expected to be on Tabs)nnCons:Only valid when compared to iPad2.:n- Charging takes long time to complete.n- Slightly sluggish.n- Android doesn't seem to be as complete as iOS, you will find many things that can be improved with respect to OS.n- iPad2 Build quality is far better than Galaxy Tab.nnWhy you need to buy Galaxy Tab 730 and not iPad2:n- This comes with 3G, GPS at cost much lower than iPad.n- Android Market Place with any app you require - lots of free apps.n- Display is amazingly great.n- most importantly - light weight (compared to any other Tab).nnThank you Samsung and Flipkart for such great product and delivery.nnI'm happy for the cost I paid. I got what I wanted with a Tab.
