Samsung (and the others) should make a 4.3" WiFi only Android tablet with iPod touch pricing.

Or can you think of any other way to distinguish the media player iPod-Touch and the iPad? Ohh, wait - you consider the iPod-Touch a tablet and not a media player. Martin |

It really is that easy. There have been enough teardowns to show that most smartphones cost less than $200 to make. The iPhone 4 costs Apple $188 to manufacture. Taking the phone radio out would make it even cheaper to produce.

Right, everything from 2.8 inch to 10.1 inch in 5 fine tunes steps. A pretty nifty strategy. See: http://www.archos.com/products/ta/in...try=ch&lang=de

But all the other negatives about this tablet still stand. Pretty poor buy, IMO. |

I have looked up IPS. It is just a variation of TFT LCD. The full name would be “In-plane switching Thin film transistor liquid crystal display” (IPS-TFT-LCD).
Like all LCD it is optically passive (it does not emit photons by itself) and need additional light (usually build in). And it is a pretty old technology (1996). Interestingly enough AMOLED too is a TFT technology. It would be “Thin film transistor organic light-emitting diode” (TFT-OLED) but I guess the manufactures decided against that as it would lead to confusion with the consumer and went for “Active matrix organic light-emitting diode” instead. But AM is only a more general term for TFT (TFT ∈ AM). So long talk short meaning: The real difference is LCD vs LED no matter how many extra letters you put in front of the name. Martin |
