I Won a Samsung Galaxy Tab :)

No-one with any sense has ever liked Microsoft, we've just had little choice but to accept them because they hold the monopoly on almost everything. Some people already hate Google, bound to make enemies when you become popular.
My problem with Apple is how closed they are to outside development, the App Store is full of App's that are actually worse than some third party developed versions, because Apple are shy of having their limelight stolen. Apple have rejected perfectly good App's simply because they are better than something Apple have already made. Android is far superior because it is open source, anyone can make App's, makes for a much more innovative market and better App's generally.
iPad's are also ridiculously huge, the Galaxy has a smaller screen, but still wonderfully usable, and is much more suited to use on the move. It speaks volumes that Apple have been forced to admit to the mistake and make the iPad2 smaller lol...
Ridiculously huge? Pretty sure if the Galaxy was 10" and the Ipad 7" you would be crowing about the bigger screen and calling the Ipad a big ger smartphone
Anyone can make apps for the Ipad as well. Not sure how you think they can't.
Any examples of apps that have been rejected because they were better than Apple's?
Anyway, there's absolutely no evidence that the next Ipad will be smaller. No idea where you got that from. Do you have a link?
Last part kinda proves that you don't get any of your information from reliable sourcesHope over Fear. #VoteYes0 -

Secondly does any of that really honestly matter ?
Zenseeker was merely posting to say they had won a competition and rather than a simple well done you rudely tell them to sell their prize!
They were not creating a post about why the samsung was better than the ipad.
This isn't part of some techie forum , you have stumbled into the competitions side of the mse forum.
BTW lots of normally reliable sites were predicting that the ipad2 would be smaller not necessarily in screen size but in thickness and weight.
And the last part doesn't prove anything, how could you possibly know that all of the information zenseeker gets isn't from reliable sources based on 1 comment ?
Zenseeker is a highly respected contributor to this side of the mse forums and I doubt any of us are really bothered whether their opinions on the ipad are based on fact or their own presumtions as to what they are like.Thank you to all the posters and the forum guides for all your hard work it is appreciated ...
Jan starting off as the year will pan out ...nothing lol0 -

I received a WEM and a notice on Facebook telling me that I have won a Samsung Galaxy Tab
Can't find the expired comp, may have been this one but it still has 5 days left to run (unless it was closed early)

I guess you think 'respected members' should be able to give out WRONG information just cos they've got a few posts?
My first post was hardly rude!

Why not provide us a link with the new specs that shows its not slightly thinner or lighter then you have the right to say that Zenseeker is wrong.
EDIT: Actually please don't bother trying to search, its not a discussion on tech its a post celebrating Zenseekers win.
They gave their opinion not wrong information as i stated this isn't a tech forum,its posted in I WON IWON I WON
Your post was hardly rude..I guess that's your opinion which you are entitled to.
Zen is highly respected because of what they post not the amount of posts. I am sure if you endeavour to do the same you might get to that position to.Thank you to all the posters and the forum guides for all your hard work it is appreciated ...

well done on the win - the rest is quite amusing, its all just a matter of opinion, for me if it works and does what I want it to do great!! - If I win it even better.
:dance:Carry on Comping :dance:0 -
i have my opinion, zen attempted to pass of 'knowledge' as fact. Big difference. Sorry you didn't catch that.
Anyway, enjoy the win!Hope over Fear. #VoteYes0 -

Well done Zenseeker. I've just sold my Apple iphone that I won with the Lucozade comp. I am completely useless with anything like that as I have rheumatoid arthritis & my fingers just won't work it but the money I got for it will come in very handy for christmas. Enjoy your new phone. Nice to see a regular poster winning a great prize, you deserve it xPositivity is the key to success0
