Just looking quickly at the Archos specifications for the 7" version, it also seems to be missing the 3 axis compass and a qualifying camera. It has a VGA camera, which is MUCH less than the required 2 megapixels. Of course, there is no way that I could tell from their specifications if their software could pass the Android Compatibility Test Suite either.

I remember reading a few months ago that only members of Gooogle's Open Handet Alliance can sell devices with Android Market access, but I don't recall where I read that. Samsung is a member, anyway. I'm sure there are other hardware-specific requirements, as well.

I hadn't noticed that Samsung is putting Sony's Super-LCD on the Tab, which is comparable to IPS. But still, the Galaxy Tab is a poor buy -- smaller resolution and screen, poorer battery life than the iPad. IMO at least. |

The good news is, Samsung has upped their capacity to manufacture AMOLED screens by the factor 10 recently (Engadget link) - So one might make it in Tab 2.0 (or whatever). Interesting sidenote: The Super-AMOLED screen, which the Galaxy S phones boast (which, by the way, is just gorgeous, I tell you), is not exclusively for Samsung devices - every manufacturer could use it on his devices. They just seemed to be on short supply and therefore more expensive. |
