I love my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I'm kinda disappointed that the Tab name is being moved to being a budget line when they were trying so hard to get “Its time to Tab!” to stick. Now my $500 16gb model is really a 1st gen budget model. Lol. Eh in all seriousness I really don't care what they do with names, I LOVE my Tab.
Even though Samsung has repeatedly burned me with slow updates on all the Samsung phones I've owned I still love their products. Most of the high end stuff they make is just so sexy.

They're not doing well?
And they plan to change that by making Galaxy Note 10.1 as their new tablet flagship?
What happened with heavily rumored super HD screen quad core?
Samsung tablets so far are hands down the biggest fail of the year!

Samsung's trying to compete with Apple on Apple's terms: generic tablets that don't bring specialized features to the market. The Galaxy Tab line isn't much more than Android powered iPads that don't have the advantage of killer specs, like Samsung's Galaxy S line has over the iPhone.

They are putting out too many kind of tablets and they are ending up competing with themselves.

I don't think they really care which Samsung tablet people buy so long that it is Samsung.

I remember the days when the fandroids were stating that the Galaxy Tab will kill the ipad 2... lets forward 9 months.. the ipad is still standing... the Galaxy Tab got a lipo in the form of the Note... by October it will be over... ipad 3 is coming... hide the S- pen ..

Samsung is bringing innovation back to the game with the S-Pen so I wouldn't be so quickly to discredit it. All apple is doing is once again rehashing the same thing. Unless there is going to be something ig announced for it at the event I just see the same old iPad with a little better specs. No real innovtion.

when you got the best tablet in the market by far and no real challenger.. play it safe and don't risk too much... so you called innovation by Android when 80 percent of their tablets fail miserably.. guess people want stable than innovation..right?

No. People want innovation. That is why the iPad, iPhone, iPod all did well... because they were innovative. Apple is too complacent anymore though. I've said this for a while now. If Apple wants to continue thier process of incrimental upgrades and not really innovate anything then they will eventually lose the market share that they have and become forgotten about. If you want proof of this then you need to look no further then Blackberry to see what happens when you allow your products to get stale.

I agree with most of the stuff except that Apple will go trough what Blackberries did.. because Apple is well managed, their product are not behind. ( smooth OS, dependable, market value, etc..) they just pick a feature and exploited... Android may be first at things.. but Apple makes it better. just watch the LTE iphone way better than any product on the market... forget dual core. quad core screens the size of shoe boxes I want LTE perfected and coverage in every corner of the US... batteries thats last me days with heavy use..that's the innovations I want

Those "Fandroids" already have the ASUS Transformer Prime and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity to take on the ipad 2 and iPad 3 respectively. Then there's the Huawei MediaPad 10.1.
