The Australian judge has just told Apple re: the Galaxy Tab: prove you lost sales, and then I might give you an injunction.

>Definately - the first 7' I tried had 800*480, the first Galaxy Pad had also the 1024*600 - much better.
>The new Galaxy 7.7 is roumored to have 1280*800, even the Note 5.3 seems to have that resolution.
>IPhone4 high screen def is not the best by far anymore...
>
>Overe here Apple stopped the Galaxy 10.1 sale by court because of look and feel similarity.
>This is something were I hope Apple gets slapped down hard - the rounded edges are a safety measure,
>to try to get look and feel reserved is ludicrous at best - IMHO the design was preempted by play-devices.
>Has generated some bad press even in some normally pro-Cupertino circles, as some "design parameters"
>are given as the flat screen surface by current technologies.

>>The other data point to consider is resolution: the Lenovo Ideapad A1 ($199) is 7" -- but is the same resolution as most 10" tablets, 1024x600 (as is the nook color -- the IPad2 is 1024 x 768). Combined with the easier handling, and it can be a "just right" combination, depending on your tolerance/preference for screen size. E.g., my 15.4" Dell Inspiron is 1680x1050 (bought it nearly 5 years ago). This is ideal for me, but too small for some folk: de gustibus and all that.

>>>give it a try for a week or so - while the smaller screen estate is bad on some sites,

>>>will only be felt if you handle it during the day. I was surprised how much difference
