Goodu review: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

I’d bet the most common question that any Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 owner would have gotten is,“How does it compare with the iPad 2?”.

So having spent more than two weeks with mine (a 16GB Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1), here’s my take on it.

If you only have half a minute, my quick answer is it’s better than the iPad2 ONLY if you’re a power user, but you’ll be better off with an iPad 2 if simplicity is what you’re looking for.

And if you have a little more time, here’s why.

Missed the queue to buy an iPad 2 in Singapore last night? Didn’t manage to get your hands on Apple’s much-awaited tablet computer when it hit the stores here?

Well, thanks to our pals at Parallels Software, Techgoondu has not one but two iPad 2s to give away in the next couple of weeks.

Simply tell us one of your Goondu moments (more details here) on our Facebook page and you stand to win a chance to walk away with the tablet device free.

The first iPad 2 will be given out next week, so hurry! Good luck!

iPad 2 finally launched, but without several expected features

They should call it iPad 1.5, said a pal of mine, of Apple’s iPad 2 featuring an “all-new design”. Other detractors called it “underwhelming”, while yet others said it was “evolutionary, not revolutionary”, but that’s putting things nicely.

The truth is, after all the rumours and usual hoopla surrounding Apple launches, what characterised the new tablet computer from the market leader seemed to be what’s not there. So, what was so disappointing about last night’s launch, where Steve Jobs made a surprise appearance?
