[BGR][AC] Samsung’s plan for revenge: Sue Apple if it dares release an LTE iPhone - Page 23

Actually, the X line was, and still are, convertible laptops/tablets. The screen turns around and lays flat, with a touch screen and a stylus, thus becoming a tablet.

Example:


They were x86, ran a full OS, and were very popular. The fact you don't believe they were "true" tablets doesn't matter. They are tablets.



For the record, these are far more usable then your idea of a "true tablet". The ipad is a pain to hold (as are all other tablets of the style, I seriously hate apple for making that design the thing to aim for...) and you really can't lay down or even sit with them to read comfortably with one hand. The Thinkpad X's battery sticks out the back, making a very usable grip so that it is easy to hold in one arm and write on it with a stylus, or turn pages with a swipe, whatever. Not to mention it has enough power under it's hood (mid-range Ivy i5, SSD, etc) to actually do something while still pulling in 6 hours of battery on a 6-cell.

Or they could come to a cross licensing agreement, where Apple will be required to stop all their Patent Trolling vs Samsung.

#2 is WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

out of the year and half that i owned my Droid Incredible, i had to troubleshoot it a grand total of one time. and it was flawless. Same thing with my Galaxy Nexus. i have yet to run into a serious problem with the GNex. in fact, i have yet to run into any problems at all. sure, the earlier versions of Android were a little lacking, but that was in the infancy of the OS. with the release of ICS, it got vastly better in smoothness, aesthetics, and stability. then Jellybean improved upon it and literally made it perfect.

I also dont know what PC you have, but you may want to rethink your hardware and software choices and reflect on how you use it, if you have to troubleshoot it a few times a month.


#3: Bill Gates already introduced the tablet, but nobody cared because it was ahead of its time. Apple is shrewd at marketing. the iPad was released in 2010, at a time where the general public was ready for it. Also you seriously cannot say that a $650 dollar iPad is a "good pricepoint" ?!?!?!?!!

While I dont disagree on any one point...i have to say it.
umad bro?

OT: while talking to people at work, they all think the iphone and Galaxy look similar.

But that's not a tablet? They were notebooks?[/quote] You can't, actually. Paranoid. Yesh, but there is a lot more malware on PC. I don't have a T3 tablet, so could you please look if you have the effects in the link?

Apple bought a lot of LTE patents ahead of iPhone 5 launch. Now controls 434 of them vs Samsung’s 819

But Sammy has licensed them, right? I don't want this to end with cross licensing

This is VERY INTERESTING! but I wanted samsung, or other patent holders somehow gets iphone 5 banning from sale for good!

Why wouldn't you read the app description?

You're assuming I like these patent threads, I do not. They clog up the news feed and all end up the same way. Few read the articles thoroughly, and even fewer read the actual patents. That's why my signature says to visit fosspatents, as it's solid information about these patent law suits.
The reason I stated they weren't tablets was because I read "line of notebooks" up the top on the Wiki article and then closed the page. Someone else said I was wrong so I had another look and I saw several convertible tablet models.

I don't call them true tablets because they're also a laptop and consequently have all its shortcomings -- weight, thickness and price being of particular note. How exactly are they far more usable? They're heavier and thicker -- that decreases portability substantially. I can hold my iPad comfortably just fine, whether laying down or sitting or standing up. Yet it's less portable, has less battery life than the iPad (in any task), and is much more expensive. Again, the reason the iPad took off is it appealed to the mass market -- it was about content consumption, about entertainment... movies, photos, games, music, browsing, etc. It had a great design, great software built for touch, hardware that didn't hinder the experience, it was lightweight, had extremely long battery life, and it had a great price.

The Lenovo tablet has always been heavy, thick, and expensive, it was back in 2006, 2007, 2010, and it still is today. This is true of all x86 tablets, but particularly convertible tablets as they're both a laptop and a tablet.

Just look at price alone: iPad 2 16GB $399, iPad 3 16GB-64GB $499-$699. Lenovo X230 convertible tablet starts at about $1400 and goes up as much as about $1800 for the stock configurations. Didn't think so. Ah right. I suppose that's true, I don't really know how competent anti-virus on Android is. In the locations I got to I didn't see the flags or the water, but I did see other flags in different locations which were moving like they were being blown by the wind, and I'm sure I've seen water at some point further in the game. That aside though, those effects won't drastically decrease the frame rate. (It's probably all done on the CPU on the Tegra 3.) The iPad 3 is running three times the pixels and very smoothly too. The only time I ever notice any lag is after an explosion (i.e blowing up an explosive container) and you see that ripple effect on the screen. You would, but if you're looking for an app designed for a tablet then it's quicker to see whether it is or not when you're browsing, rather than going into the app and viewing the description and then going back out again.
