Samsung can’t make up its mind about the Galaxy Note

Advertising it as a phone or a tablet, take your pick
Tue Oct 25 2011, 13:14

KOREAN HARDWARE GIANT Samsung seems confused about whether its Galaxy Note is a phone or a tablet in a TV advert.

The 30 second advertising spot has appeared on Youtube showing off the upcoming Galaxy Note device that has a large 5.3in screen. At the end the clip asks whether the gadget is a phone or a tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note Phone or Tablet

This question is followed by the statement, "Feel free, it's the Galaxy Note", so we assume that Samsung is trying to claim that's its both rather than one or the other.

Over the 30 second advert, it's mostly the device's stylus that is shown off rather than any other features. Of course you can see how big the device is, with it looking quite awkward to hold in landscape mode at one point.

Unlike with the HTC Flyer, the stylus can be used to push buttons on screen as well as draw and make notes. Samsung is holding an event for the Galaxy Note this Thursday, which The INQUIRER will be attending.

Samsung's Galaxy Note has had a number of price and launch date changes since the company announced it at IFA in September. Unless its launch gets another rejig, the handset will be available on 1 November for £594 from Clove. µ

Nice

As much as I hate samsung and it's crappy phone devices (with the exception of SGS2), I must admit that this Galaxy Note seems to be a very nice device. Would like very much to test drive it.
