- 12 years ago
South Korea's tech-savvy customers have their eyes on Samsung's new tablet – the Galaxy Note 10.1. With functions that include a stylus type pen and split screens, it aims to set itself apart from rival Apple's iPad.
The new tablet launched on August 16 in the United States, Britain and South Korea, and has picked up positive early reviews from tech bloggers impressed with the S-Pen's writing and sketching performance and the tablet's ability to have two apps active at the same time on a split-screen.
Samsung has emphasized how the Note 10.1 is a "game changer" from rival tablets, which are primarily used to consume media - highlighting the device's ability to personalize and create. Samsung hopes the Galaxy Note 10.1 can help it narrow the gap with Apple in the tablet market, where it remains a distant second to the California-based firm.
The two firms have gone toe-to-toe in a multi-billion dollar patents dispute mirroring a struggle for industry supremacy between two companies that together control half the global smartphone market.
