Samsung Going for a Piece of Apple's Pie

Let the tablet competition begin!! The iPhone set the standard for smart phones, and cell phone companies have done their best to imamate it, and now the iPad has created a similar splash in the technology world.  Tech savvy consumers knew it would only be a matter of time until competitors started popping up on the tablet scene, but much like the early touch phones that tried to emulate the iPhone’s swagger, they came and went before anyone noticed. After a few years of Apple raking in the cash with little competition Google finally caught up when it released the Android OS.  

 With the release of the Galaxy Tab Samsung is looking set a new standard for tablets. Priced at $399 for the 16GB model (or $499 for 32GB), it includes Android HoneycomTb 3.2, and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, a substantial jump up from the single 1GHz processor in the original Galaxy Tab.  Android is the new Windows for operating systems on mobile phones and Apple is well.. still Apple, smaller market but high prices with high quality equal high profits. Whether  the Galaxy Tab will run Android’s latest OS system “Ice Cream Sandwich” operating system (see previous posts for more on Ice Cream Sandwhich) remains unknown but what is known is that this high quality piece of technology is going for a piece of Apple’s pie in the tablet industry, but are you hungry for it?
