Apple locked down the 10" screens lcd market, why do you think samsung went with a 7"?
- markszcz 16y agoApple definetly holds a dominant hold on the 10" tablet market and the Samsung Tab took a stab at the market with their 7" and did ok. I feel Motorola is taking a brave stance here by trying to tackle the 10" market. As another comment in here points out, "wifi-only Xoom to be priced at $600" so there is competition when it comes to the "Nobody Can Match the iPad’s Price".

- minalecs 16y agoI don't know why samsung went with a 7" vs 10" but it makes a huge difference. In comparison its like carrying around a big hardcover book vs a paperback book. Watching youtube and stuff on it is fine, I don't find a huge difference. The biggest difference I find it much easier to hold with one hand, and manipulate the screen with the other without having to place it on my lap or needing a stand, and hold it like a real pad should be held and to pass around.
- drdaeman 16y agoIf I understand it right... (I probably don't) Aren't this sort of vertical restraints anti-competitive? Could someone please explain me how they locked competition and didn't hit any sort of antitrust laws?
