I think Samsung is going little bit wrong on the tablet field.
I think they should just release Tab 10.1 to compete with Ipad. That’s all.
They are doing very good with their smartphones.
Thanks for your information

This is really a great competition launched in the technical market. Whenever we talk about about Android the first thing that clicks in our mind is Samsung. So, LG also decided to launch something new as a new competitor against Google Nexus.
I think it is really going to give a hard challenge to Google. The best thing i loved about it is it’s large display with smooth holding frame.
