The Queen adds a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to the Royal Collection

0. phoneArena posted on 14 Nov 2012, 08:45

When you think about Queen Elizabeth II, tablet computers aren't among the things that spring to mind. Yet here she is using one, and surprisingly, it isn't an iPad. Nope, Her Majesty is handling a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 instead...

a stylus does give a better way to write something & as a device for playing back videos, the aspect ratio of Gnote 10.1 does provide better experience than iPad

Someone teach her how to root the device!! :D

Long live both! :)

So do you think the landscape nature of the Note 10.1 played a role in the presentation? I think the forward facing speakers were a deciding factor. If you've ever listened to music or watched videos comparing the iPad vs the Note 10.1 you'd understand what I mean. Front facing speakers are amazing.

Well the Queen sure knows what she wants, peek a good product when she sees one,GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.and SAMSUNG too.

12. jmoita2 posted on 14 Nov 2012, 09:53 2

Although I've never been a fan of monarchs. I must condone this one smart decision on the part of Her Majesty.

13. Jobes posted on 14 Nov 2012, 10:07 8

14. ryq24 posted on 14 Nov 2012, 10:09 1 3

samsung s3 commercial poke fun at iphone as being preferred by older people, well the queen aint that young.

15. McFrost69 posted on 14 Nov 2012, 10:27 5

This is a very clever but obvious bit of Photoshop editing.

16. Topcat488 posted on 14 Nov 2012, 10:55 1 2

I guess now we have to refer to this device as.... "Sir Note" 10.1. ;) ... Its been Knighted.

18. Bernoulli posted on 14 Nov 2012, 11:00 2 2

I wonder, I'm pretty sure the decision came after the jury of England and Wales ruled the fact that Apple was wrong, so in compression the Queen allowed herself to be seen welding the note 10.1 lol

20. PAPINYC (limited) 4 days ago posted on 14 Nov 2012, 11:30 1 2

HRH was seen 'wielding the Note 10.1' she wasn't holding a blow torch to it to "weld" it!!

welding present participle of weld (Verb)

Verb
1. Join together (metal pieces or parts) by heating the surfaces to the point of melting with a blowpipe, electric arc, or other means, and...
2. Forge (an article) by such means.

25. chaoticrazor posted on 14 Nov 2012, 12:00

i just find it funny how everyone is thinking she uses this, and look how quick they are to bring apple into it. papinyc is one of the worst for this

whats funny is if this was ''queen adds a ipad'' you would get the fanboys saying see its for old people etc...........such double standards on this site

28. TROLL posted on 14 Nov 2012, 12:06

Well every-one know's it's used buy OAPs littlekids unsmart uneducated people, this is "UK" not States™®© There very smart....

30. chaoticrazor posted on 14 Nov 2012, 12:11

im from the uk and i think your generalising way to much

but basically when an older person chooses apple its proof its for the old, when they choose android there smart.......thats basically how you see it. fanboyism overload on here

besides she doesnt use a note 10.1.

31. Topcat488 posted on 14 Nov 2012, 12:35

You mean she doesn't use "Sir Note" 10.1. (Its been knighted).

33. chaoticrazor posted on 14 Nov 2012, 12:57

not she doesnt use a note 10.1

it aint been knighted, no product is worth been knighted and yeah you were joking ...well i hope you were

32. gallitoking posted on 14 Nov 2012, 12:52

that's why we should never trust surveys specially when they mention Apple catering to old people.. and Android for the young and hip... Hmmm (wonder if the queen has Intstragram.)

36. rusticguy posted on 14 Nov 2012, 13:07 2

We shouldn't trust any surveys that doesn't show Apple in good light ... i see this as an extension of consequences of Apples courage to insult UK's court order.

38. tedkord posted on 14 Nov 2012, 13:19

And we shouldn't listen to retards who claim that Android is chosen by people who can't afford Apple. Or is her majesty destitute?

34. jibraihimi posted on 14 Nov 2012, 13:02

So guys don't be surprised if samsung's JK Shin is Knighted soon....... Sir Johny Ive, you will have partner from tech world in knight club soon.........

35. rusticguy posted on 14 Nov 2012, 13:04

This is what happens when Apple insults a nations court.

37. tedkord posted on 14 Nov 2012, 13:17 2

See. Its the poor people who can't afford an iPad who but these cheap, plastic, buggy, laggy Android products.

If the Queen of England could afford it, she'd have chosen an Apple product.

42. Bernoulli posted on 14 Nov 2012, 18:53

You make no sense, the price of either one is the same, retard, don't talk out of your a$$

39. blackspot posted on 14 Nov 2012, 15:11

Lol, that's actually pretty cool.

44. MC1123 posted on 14 Nov 2012, 19:42

i wish she'll look at lumia 920! :)
