Aimed right for the heart of the Apple iPad mini is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet with its 8 inch screen, S Pen and its many features like Air View which lets the user hover over the screen with the S Pen to open up email in a separate pop-up box, and Smart Stay, which keeps the screen on as long as you are awake and looking at it...

So it has note 2 specs with bigger screen and battery?

Exactly

No cellular phone (for voice calls). Maybe a cellular data modem option?

I'm thinking it does have voice. Look at the top there looks to be an earpiece grill.

look more like the S III, because the top and bottom is slightly rounded

The Note 8.0 needs to be less than $350 or I'm going to get the Nexus 7 and call it a day!!

8. techspace posted on 23 Feb 2013, 12:07 5 0

maybe you should wait for the nexus 7.7

10. threeline posted on 23 Feb 2013, 12:09 5 0

I'm hoping for 299, if not I will get the Nexus 10 for 399.

I agree. The Note 2 was too expensive and ended up getting the S3 (AT&T). I hope history doesnt repeat itself

I will wait untill it releases a Full HD version of it coz its meant for digital art!

This beauty will appeal to android nation, and the gorgeous iPad mini will continue to do well with iOS users, and the general consumer. It's a stalemate as far who'll switch over, cause most people are vested in the Eco systems of the chosen platform.

This is true. I didnt understand about eco systems....until I invested heavy in Android. I came from Win Mo...but didnt get alot of apps. I didnt stick with Win Mo long enough to be invested heavy.

I can do it for game consoles. Not that big a deal. Tablets? Hard to say. PC's? I can do that too.

So the battle of the low res tablets that will unfortunately sell pretty decent? Ipad mini vs Note 8.

Only tablets I am interested in are the high resolution ones. So Galaxy Tab 3 plus or bust Samsung.

1024 x 768 is low res......1280 x 800 is not....

17. Taters posted on 23 Feb 2013, 14:05 0 0

A high res Nexus 7 reboot would be awesome as well.

20. nikenturd (unregistered) posted on 23 Feb 2013, 16:13 0 0

SAMSUNG has a knack of overpricing their tablets...I do hope this one (albeit slim chance) will be priced reasonably well....Anything more than $320-$340 is a no go since the Exynos 4412 is about to get replaced soon....but a lot better than that crap called Tegra 3 though

Is that Galaxy S4........lol

looking forward to the review, Wish my N7 had a Sylus like the Spen and been asking for this for a while... also why saying Samsung is planing this because of the iPad mini?
