Samsung Galaxy Tab vs. Apple iPad – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Samsung Galaxy Tab vs. Apple iPad

I’ve had my Samsung Galaxy Tab (EU version with 3G) for just over a week now, great device. I’ve also used the Apple iPad (Wifi only version) for about 6 months and I wanted to do quick comparison between the two. Both devices are great, just different. Which one is more suitable for your needs depends on what you are looking for. Overall, I vote slightly in favor of the iPad for the moment because of its great battery life and sleekness of the UI but I still have hopes that the next couple of Android OS updates will even this out.

To keep things simple, I’ve listed the good and bad for respective tablet below. The good means that it clearly beats the competitor. I decided not to separately highlight stuff where they are evenly good (or bad).

Top 5 Games for the Samsung Galaxy Tab

October 31st, 2010 No comments

Samsung-Galaxy-Tab3 I just got my brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab last Friday, the perfect new toy for the weekend. The device itself is great. Build quality is excellent and I really like the 7” size. My iPad is still great but somehow I like the Samsung Tab better because of the smaller size and weight. Software wise Android is still “a bit” behind iOS and I hope that the next Android releases from Google will close part of the gap  regarding smoothness of UI and eye candy. Anyway, I wanted to test our the game playability on the large screen estate of the Tab and tested out quite a few games over the weekend. Here are my summary of the best games I found that I love playing on the 1024×600 resolution screen (it is great, not as good as the Retina but still extremely good). Personally, I love simple games with great value for sporadic gaming, so you won’t find SIMs on my list below.

Zervant.com It’s been a while since I updated this blog as I’ve been quite busy helping to build a new invoicing and time tracking software called Zervant, targeting freelancers, sole proprietors, independent contractors, and self employed.

If described in one sentence you could say it is your personal business assistant online. I feel it is a completely new way of doing business easily and it takes care of all the (painful) admin work related to running a micro sized business. It offers easy time tracking, online invoicing, collecting and analyzing customer feedback, as well as bookkeeping. Work that I normally feel is taking a lot of valuable time and is away from productive work.
