They still don't turn over tabs that fast. They now got 4 distinct versions of tablets with different prices. That is a good thing compared to Apple that limits the choice to screen size and memory.
You got the cheap entry tablet ( tab 4), a cheap hi res version (tab pro), the pen input Note, and the premium hi res display S series. Eventually I see the tab pro disappering and merge with the S series once the Note S comes out. And maybe, just maybe, samsung will start making only OLED tabs - entry low res, hi res, hi res with pen input. And then the different screen sizes in each series.
Looking at the devices in Walmart, the 7" Tab4 does look really sleek compared to the Tab3. It looks even easier to hold than the iPad min retina. And that is how non-technical customers are going to decide: they see a cool looking device within their budget and they grab it.
For myself I am waiting for the 8" tab s (or something similar speced) to go down in price to around $250 or below until I am willing to upgrade from the 10" tab2 I am using (as in literally right now).
