Samsung rethinks its Galaxy Tab

Anyone can be a blogger (hey, look at me!) and anyone can post their thoughts, ideas and comments online, but how many are worth reading? There's a lot of rubbish posted on the web and it gets depressing and irritating reading it. I subscribe to lots of RSS feeds to keep up with the latest news and the Apple ones are the most irritating. An article titled "Samsung Gets iPad 2 Envy" starts off with the sentence "Samsung Electronics is already rethinking its Galaxy Tab lineup after the unveiling of Apple's second generation iPad." Doesn't everyone rethink everything? We'd still be swinging from trees with the rest of the apes if we never rethought anything we do and looked for better ways of doing things.

Didn't Apple rethink the iPad to come up with the iPad 2? It thought "How can we make this better next time around?" It will rethink the iPad 2 and ask the same question to come up with something even better for the iPad 3. Samsung is rethinking its Galaxy Tab lineup just as Apple is rethinking its iPad, iPod, iPhone, MacBook and iMac lineup. Car manufacturers are rethinking their cars in order to come up with better cars, chefs are rethinking their recipes to come up with even tastier ones, television manufacturers are rethinking their TVs to come up with improvements that will enhance the next generation. Everyone rethinks everything and it's the way technology progresses.

Here's another quote from the article, "We will have to improve the parts that are inadequate, " said Samsung. Once again, this is something everyone does and it's not just Samsung responding to Apple's iPad 2. I'll wager that the iPad 3 will have a better screen, perhaps a retina-type display, or a better camera with a higher resolution. After all, the back camera takes photos that are less than one megapixel! Apple will improve the parts that are inadequate when it designs the iPad 3. Everyone does this. The parts on a device produced last year are inadequate compared to what's available this year or next year, and so on.

The difference between Samsung and Apple is that Samsung is thinking out loud and sharing its thoughts with the whole world. Apple says nothing and keeps quiet. Both companies are rethinking designs and replacing inadequate parts with better ones though.
