The asus tablet series is the better product than the samsung tablets.

All of samsung tablets have been pretty bad due to them pushing touchwiz and the s-pen.

What the heck is TouchWiz? And the S Pen is just an optional stylus for the Galaxy Note.

If Asus products are better than Samsung, then why did/does the Nexus 7 tablet have so many defects?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #102 on:** September 25, 2012, 04:45:58 PM »

The so-called defects in Nexus 7 were not widespread, very few people experienced them (they just bitched about it). Overall the Nexus 7 has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews from both journalists and consumers.

TouchWiz is the interface system used for Samsung products (including the Galaxy S III).

Touchwhiz is what samsung's custom version of android is called.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TouchWiz

The S-pen what sanding called the stylus that comes with its note line.

Also wut. Every product has issues of some sort. The recent iphone has been getting clack for how Esau it is to damage and the new maps software being horrible. The nexus 7 is still a good product despite having hardware issues that can be resolved or exchanged. Conversely the most recent sanding tablet has been spanned for having major software related issues.

On the mobile note what do you guys think of what was shown of BB10 today. Its slated for release next year and rim is hedging not only grabbing the #3 spot in the market on it but quite possibly its existence on it az well.

Actually shingi, read the article. It is NOT the name of their version of Android ("It is sometimes incorrectly identified as an operating system"). Bada is the name of Samsung's version of Android. As I mentioned, TouchWiz is the name of the touch interface.

shingi_70 · « **Reply #105 on:** September 25, 2012, 06:11:21 PM »

By version of android I mean their own customized spin on it. Its android but cumtoized to run slow.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #106 on:** September 25, 2012, 06:22:40 PM »

Actually, no it's still now. TouchWiz is not their custom version of Android. Bada is their custom version of Android. TouchWiz has nothing to do with it. That is what I was saying.

shingi_70 · « **Reply #107 on:** September 25, 2012, 06:47:09 PM »

Again by. Custom android I'm talking the UI layer. Touchwiz is the UI part of android changed from stock with a few extra features on its own.

I'm not saying its a separate thing. Its like htc's sense or motorola's motonlur.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #108 on:** September 25, 2012, 07:10:27 PM »

Your wording was misleading. You said TouchWiz was Samsung's version of Android (it isn't, Bada is), that is why I corrected you.

Samsung created their own OS? They want to compete with their biggest partner in the smartphone industry (Google)?

That's like if HP created their own OS while still making Windows PC's.

"Samsung's version of Android". Google releases Android as open source, and companies are free to modify it how they want. Samsung's version is called Bada.

Oh, I thought Bada was a separate OS that Samsung created on their own, with plans to compete directly with Google. That would be an odd situation, it would effectively mean Samsung is competing with Google while still supporting Android. That would be a big conflict of interest.

I moved this thread to General Chat, since it's not really about gaming.

I can how my wording was confusing.

Is Bars still around? Last I heard it was supposed to be combined with tinzen

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #115 on:** September 25, 2012, 10:36:18 PM »

Samsung said in June that they might do it (combine Bada with Tizen), but they have not done it yet or confirmed that they will actually do it.

HP bought Palm, who in turn made webOS. /pedant

It wasn't like they stopped making it after they bought it. /pedant

WebOS is for mobile devices. It doesn't compete with Windows PC. I was talking about HP making a PC OS to compete with Windows while still making Windows PCs. It wouldn't happen because it would be a conflict of interest.

tendoboy1984 somehow you have the ability to hijack your own threads.

On a side note, I will be changing the digitizer on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 tomorrow.
