[Archived] Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

[dave birch]

Looking at getting the Mrs a tablet and have seen that Samsung have released 10.1. I know it's only available in certain countries at the moment, but as I'm travelling shortly, I'd appreciate any thoughts that people have.

Is the note available in some countries already? I know it's not in the UK as yet.

My question would be for the note 10.1, do you REALLY need the stylus? If not, why not look at the standard tab 10.1? It is undoubtedly cheaper than the note will be.

OK, just read a review and the hardware specs of the Note are pretty impressive. Display is nowhere near as good as the ipad3.

Just found the UK price on Samsungs website. So it's £399 for the 16gb Wifi only version which is the exect same price as the equivalent ipad. Personally I would go for the ipad unless you really only like Android, or you already have other Android devices and have bought apps (as you can install them again for free on other devices)

Interesting happenings in the past few days with Apple's court case win, and now wanting to stop sales of several of Samsung's latest products.

Might have to get a Galaxy note 10.1 sooner.

That's only in the states. Don't know about Australia but the UK courts told Apple to @#/? off.

Thanks for that Issy, I'll check it out.

I have a good contact for ASUS stuff.

ive had Asus products, still have them in my pc as well. They are good, and the transformers are very good indeed. I would never bother myself with an ipad, as im an android guy.

I'd happily buy an iPad if they were priced properly, but I hate overpaying for things. Same reason I'll never own any Apple product to honest.

I had an extended play on the Google Nexus recently. Seemed like a cracking piece of kit.

and LeC, there will be a Nexus 10 soon, as well as a 3G version of the Nexus 7. I agree, the prices of Apple products are ridiculous imo.
