HP Slate vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab (or Why HP Bought Palm)
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 23rd Sep 2010 20:06 UTC
PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless So, we have the iPad out and about for a while now, doing its thing, most likely selling well. Of course, others want a piece of that pie as well, so we see tablets pop up all over the place, most of which are either ultra-low budget junk or vapourware (how that's Adam coming along, Notion Ink?). Earlier this year, Steve Ballmer proudly held up HP's Windows 7-powered Slate - but then, HP bought Palm, canned the Slate, promised a webOS tablet, and then resurrected the Slate as an enterprise product. Now we have a video of the Windows 7-powered Slate. Let's compare it to Samsung's detailed overview of its Galaxy Tab, and see ever so clearly why HP canned the darn thing in the first place.

Yawn.

Of course you didn't mean anything, you were just showing that popularity does not equal quality by example of products that are negatively stereotyped with unrefined mainstream taste. No implications there at all.

Funny how Android is being snapped up by the mainstream but I don't see anyone here questioning its quality based on popularity.

Yawn.
Oh please, we both know you're not cool; if you were, you wouldn't be here.

No, that wasn't what I was 'showing' at all.

No implications there at all.
Evidentially not, given your continued failure to comprehend a simple facetious point.

Uh huh... run this by me one more time. You think these premises are the same?
popularity does not equal quality
...
questioning its quality based on popularity

You go from stating that there's no relationship, to stating that there's an inversely proportional one. You go to the trouble of setting up a strawman, then proceed to a non sequitur. No wonder you're having so much trouble: you can't even follow your own bullshit to it's logical conclusion, let alone anyone else's.
