[ET]Nexus 10 review round-up: Sometimes it’s possible to have too many pixels  

post #1 of 148

In general, the reviews all point to very mediocre, verging on poor, battery life. Engadget saw just 7 hours 26 minutes from its battery test, compared to the normal 10-11 hours that most other 10-inch tablets can muster. The rear-facing camera is bad. On the flip side, the dual, front-facing speakers sound good, and though it’s plastic, reviewers are generally pleased with the look and feel of the Nexus 10.

Code:
iPad comes out
Applefans rave about pixels

Nexus 10 comes out 
Applefans say no one needs that many pixels

Okay. Then again, extremetech is the same company that said the Cowon S9 was inferior to the iPod Touch 3 because its sound was too clear.

In other news.

Oh man, if only it were OLED.

Why do people call most toothpaste "Colgate" or.. Why do people refer to most fizzy carbonated drinks as "Coke"? I hate it too.

it would seem that Samsung and Google kind of forgot that battery tech still isn’t up to the task of powering and illuminating these monstrous Retina displays.

Review of several other reviews: probably not a good review.
post #7 of 148
You guys arent missing much. The article is a joke. The author took 5 other reviews and basically made a log of them. Saying better is worse. Pathetic

Who calls toothpaste "colgate"? I've never heard anyone refer to all toothpastes as that, also, people here call it "soda".

I don't know anyone that does that, but it might just be a language thing between the US and aus.

EDIT ninja got me by 4 seconds
