Samsung is attempting to maneuver itself into a position of renown in emerging device segments. Once having announced Samsung’s plan to join the progressively crowded e-reader market this spring, it now plans to take part in the tablet/slate PC market.
According to a APC Magazine report, Samsung will take part in the tablet market at the second half of 2010. Samsung’s slate will be purposed for the consumer market, although details such as size, OS, and other specifications were not released. Samsung said that its slate will be much better and even more powerful compared to other tablet almost everyone is talking about, the iPad.
Following is a few quote from APC Magazine report :
“A lot of companies have played in the MID market and done a very average job and the iPad, which is a glorified MID, just takes that to the next level,” Philip Newton, director of Samsung Australia’s IT division, told APC Magazine. “The problems I see with the iPad are its processing power and (lack of) connectivity to a certain extent.”
“From my point of view, the iPad is essentially an e-book reader with wireless connectivity but no inputs and outputs,” Newton said. “I do feel that that slate-type platform has legs but I think the legs need to be far more powerful, for example an Atom-based product which has far greater flexibility, not to mention inputs and outputs. This has more potential than an iPad.”
