Re: I'd be sold if... People complain to complain.
Personally, I think that people haven't, after so many years, figured out that these "tabs" or "net" things (be it a book, tab, what ever) are not laptops nor have they been designed to replace a laptop or notebook computer.
16 and 32gb is certainly plenty of room for storage for the "use on the go" kinda computing.
I dunno.. maybe some of us realize that they're not "computers" per say.. they're the new version of a netbook which was designed to connect to the internet, browse the web, email, and chat. Only, now they also play music and a few other things... but, they're not computers as people are used to them. Therefore, they don't need to be fully stocked up like one. |

1 edit | Those storage levels can be *way* to low if you use the tablet for multimedia purposes.
I bought an iPad for my 3yr old daughter because she sat in the back seat of the car for 12 hours two days in a row, each direction of a trip. With 64GB of storage, the iPad held plenty of ripped DVDs and kids books, games etc. 32GB would have been too little.
BTW, it was amazing - she was happy the entire trip! Plus I used the 3G connectivity to keep up with e-mail on the road. |

| Yeah, except this new tablet accepts microSD cards, which right now go up to 32GB, but will only get larger.
So you can make this 64GB just like the biggest iPad. Yet you can make it even larger as newer microSD cards come. |

I actually wouldn't ever buy one of these. Between my DROID, work Blackberry, and work laptop, I have enough gadgets to haul around all day. |

Looking at the Samsung site for this it says that the tablet comes with either 16 or 32GB of memory, plus you can add more memory via the SD slot. So adding a 32GB SD card will give you 64GB of storage.

San Francisco, CA | Ahhh, the iPad's stupid limitations have blocked me from thinking outside the Apple box of no SD, no USB, etc. Good call! |

I will admit that I did get an iPad, however, I develop apps for them and the simulators just are not the same as having an actual device in hand. I don't plan on making apps for anything droid based so I won't be buying one.
I personally see no difference between an iPad and an iPod Touch except the screen size.
I will say, though, even after stating what I did, I can see for some people that pads (ala touch screens) would fill a good role for them as a laptop is too much, and a cell phone isn't enough.
my two cents. |

Actually if it's for playing media you could have multiple SD cards now for essentially an unlimited capacity. |
