Hopefully there's a model without the "phone" crap built in.

Wireless is good for connectivity about the house and work, but personally I want a tablet that's _NOT_ a phone.

Zero interest in having another bit of kit that requires an ongoing service/subscription just to use it. (ie. the phone bit)

haha nice spot Jesus. Everysooften this lot at the inq show themselves to be complete tech novices! "mAmp" is wrong anyway, should just read "mA" if coppinger wanted to say milliamp.

Does a tablet PC really need 4 AMPS worth of current? Holy MOLEY.

Or maybe you meant the battery has a 4,000 milliamp-hour (mAh) capacity?

It looks like an oversized iPhone without the phone.

No doubt manufactured in chinese (or similar) sweatshops exploiting cheap oriental labor. But who cares about them eh!

only officially supports screen resolutions of up to 854x480 it's going to be interesting to see how Android apps cope with 1024x600.

The other problem is that, though 16:9 ratio screens may be better for wide screen video, they're not so good for reading and web browsing. Was it just a video player that you wanted? Not the positive compromise that people hereabouts seem to imagine.

No-one has mentioned it, not the Inquirer, not the BBC, and neither has Samsung on their website.

It does have the ability to browse the internet....... of course it does, its simply an overly large smartphone, and all smartphones can use the internet...... cant't they.?

Its got all of the necessary wireless connection types to be able to, but everyone is banging on about tghe phone, the books, the music and the video, and even e-mail, but they seem to be missing something....

I would be amazed if this can do everything but the internet, but as no-one has mentioned it I will have to wait and see if this is another heavily flawed tablet.

The Viewsonic Viewpad is already out and techradar have had a go at it.

Hopefully we can get an (a) vs (b) vs (c) comparison. Would be nice if it came from The Inq for once ;)
