Frankly, I have never ever been a Samsung Fan, especially when it comes to gadgets. The first time I bought a Samsung product was in 2009 and it was a Samsung Corby. After just six months of the purchase, the touch screen started behaving weirdly and I knew I was in for trouble. I gave up on that and moved on.
Just like the first Samsung product in 2009, I bought my first Apple product (iPhone4) early this year. I have been literally sleeping with this device for close to a year now, and I couldn’t have been happier with its performances and the magic it has added to my life.
After using an Apple product and hearing all the war-cry between Apple and Samsung on the proposed release of Samsung Galaxy Tab 750, I thought it would be one heck of a product with a brand-new experience. But, I was wrong!
I use Samsung’s Tab on a daily basis, and guess what – I live a life loads of regret and remorse, for buying a product that is ridiculously flawed to begin with.
What’s Wrong With Samsung Galaxy 750?
Operating System – They told me Honeycomb is their latest OS tailored for tablet PCs. Well, I can’t see no difference. What are improvements are you talking about? Honey, your Honeycomb is not even close to iOS back in 2007!
Copy and Paste – Before I bought this product, I read a TechCrunch article on how Honeycomb has added the Copy/Paste features. When I actually try to copy and paste, it takes a couple of seconds. Yes, going by the simplicity of the copy/paste function, a couple of seconds are a lot. That’s the truth. Compare this function with that of iPhone4 and you will know what I’m talking about. Copy/Paste is a basic function which is supposed to be a breeze, but sadly, it’s not the case for Honeycomb. By the time you copy and paste some text on Samsung Galaxy Tab 750, I guarantee, I could do the same ten more times using my iPhone4. Why doesn’t Android just give up and admit it can never get close to iOS?
Adobe Flash – In the advertisement, they bragged about their product having an edge over iPad2 in terms of playing Adobe Flash videos. But it’s been two months, and I wouldn’t know why the videos on my Facebook aren’t able to run. Every time I click on a video to watch it, it says “download the latest Flash Player” and takes me to the Android Market. As a matter of fact, I have already downloaded all the Flash Players invented under the Sun and they are upgraded to the hilt. I can’t but use swearwords to describe what Samsung Galaxy 750 is all about. But I definitely swear by iOS4 on my iPhone4.
High-Def Videos – Until 24 months ago, my eyes were okay with watching videos in standard definition. Everything changed when I entered the world of Full HD. Obviously, I expected everything in full HD quality. So when I bought Samsung Galaxy 750 Tab, I thought it would live up to its tall promises of playing videos in HD. Shockingly, the reality was different – the product can’t play HD Videos. One of my friends (supposedly a big Samsung Fan) told me there are apps on the Android Market that help play video of any format. He was wrong. There aren’t any app. Therefore, you can’t play full HD videos on a Samsung Galaxy 750 Tab.
MP3 Files – Guess what – my Samsung Galaxy 750 Tab can’t play all mp3 files. When I transfer my music folders from PC to Tab, sometimes they warn me that the Tab won’t be able to play them. I ignore the warning assuming the Tab would still play the files as it already plays some mp3 files I’ve downloaded from the Internet. So what’s the difference?
Speaking of being user-friendly, just wondering how close is Samsung Galaxy 750 to my iPhone4?
Android Market: I have never ever seen a market so disoriented and disorganized. It’s even worse than the fish market in my hometown. When you search for an app by its name, it doesn’t show up! And, worse, most of the apps are riddled with bugs that wouldn’t help you. I haven’t seen a single app that doesn’t have bad comments. You’re told that a modern gadget is as good as the apps that it supports. But sadly, it’s not the case for Samsung Galaxy 750 run on Honeycomb.
Why would you buy a product so fucked-up!
It cost me a whopping 36,200 rupees (or $724 for Samsung Galaxy Tab 750) to learn I will NEVER buy a Samsung product again. The only day I MIGHT think of using their products is when they’re fully acquired by Apple Inc.
Never buy a Samsung Product. Never – Ever – Never. Even if there was a fire!
Now I hope my friends (especially Samsung Fans) know why I regret buying the Samsung Galaxy 750 Tab.
It’s not the Time to Tab – It’s the time to go and get a life!

You have to check about your OS version. Make sure its upgraded to latest available 3.1 Honeycomb. I know iPhone 4 is pretty good but that doesn’t make android really bad.
As I am using iPhone 4 ( with iOS 5) and Samsung Galaxy 3 ( 800Mhz , Android 2.2 ) please don’t lie about Android Market. Also I am able to play flash videos on my phone , and any tab won’t play full HD (if you understand it – its 1080p) video by default in full resolution . You would need to turn mirroring on with full HD display ( TV / Monitor with DVI – HDMI display).
Don’t comment on Android if you are experiencing it with a wrong device , its same as blaming windows 7 with pretty old dual core computer which wouldn’t support all features of windows 7.

I think your tone is both disrespectful and belligerent. I have used both the dinc and the dx2 and I,now own and ipad2 and iPhone4s. How can you sit there and pretend that the android market isn’t a huge heaping pile of dog poop. The “apps” are atrocious and the organization is sloppy and careless. The fact that you even start your comments talking about using the “right” device speaks more than anything I could say. You are a clueless imbecile talking like that and making those kinds of baseless arguments. Android is not even worthy of comparison. The only reason it’s compared to iOS is that it’s on a phone.
