Samsung Galaxy Tab vs OlivePad VT100

sanagg1 · 8th November 2010, 17:38

Just Bumped into the comparison please help me evaluate

http://www.olivetelecom.in/laptop/ol...ech-specs.html
Price Rs. 25,990/-

http://www.pcworld.com/zoom?id=204779&page=1&zoomIdx=1
Price approx Rs. 38,000/-

Is it worth the extra buck ?

Cheers

Interesting...!!! I was about to search/ask for android based tablets myself.

My requirements:

- Should not be as slow as the 'netbooks'
- Allow USB (in iPad this is a deal breaker for me)
- Make phone calls
- GPS and allied services
- 3G
- WiFi

What are the choices in the Indian market.

NOTE: The olive pad is coming in with lots of freebee's

When is the Olive Pad releasing anyway?

Considering the Speed of updates coming to Android OS, better buy a unit having a processor of 1Ghz or higher.

I've asked this earlier on a separate thread here

i too was about to search on this. Does the DELL STREAK fit your requirement? I saw an advert on that in TOI a few days but i have been travelling ever since. I am planning to go check it out at the DELL store upon returning back. To me DELL makes more sense as i think its more compact and easy to carry.

Dear ghpk the listing you are referring to has been removed from the link provided
http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=160495928189

and the very next posting says that it was faking specifications in case of aPad, so IMHO that should have been the reason for De-listing.

Moreover, I like to believe Olive is decent enough company.

There must some ignorance on the part of Sangeeta dealer (or I need to know something). I saw a new sealed box being brought in and the salesman said its 28K ! I was shocked. I showed him the MRP sticker of 38K, but still he was not changing his view. He said 28K!

Even i am looking for an upgrade. My current phone is E71 Evaluating
Galaxy Tab - Has almost all features 3g, Gps, Geo tagging, Ebook reader etc - 38k pricy

Dell Streak - 5" Screen, and All other features as above. - 35k
Dell is more logical for daily use as phone + internet browsing device.
Need to evaluate the quality of Phone, after sales service etc

Nokia E7 - Might launch by end of November ? around 30k
More a business phone

I'm still waiting for a decent 10" Android tablet with high-res screen. It seems like majority of the tablets are coming in 7" form factor.

It is better to wait for the Ginger Bread to be released before going for a tablet. Froyo is not made for tablets and there are issues reported. Ginger Bread is expected to be released this month (Starting with the Nexus One

. I own one).

Sorry to ask for confirmation

Are you talking about samsung GalaxyPad ?
You already bought a new one that too at amazing price of only 28K.

Congrats !

Yeah, it can be perfect device, they are giving free life time MapMyIndia subscription with it as well.

In 13,000 extra for Galaxy tab, one will get:
1.) Better resolution
2.) More disk
3.) More CPU
4.) HDMI output (will have to buy cable).

What else?

Motorola is coming out with 10" tablet running gingerbread!!! Looking at the great success of Motorola making android devices, this has to be good. My bet is on this one!!
