The tablets have a way better battery/everything-else ratio than the handsets. For my sins, I travel too much, so on the Galaxy Tab I'll read a whole book and listen to a bunch of music and play some games on a transcontinental flight, and still be confident that it'll have lots of juice to run maps to get to my hotel, and plow through my email backlog on the train, and so on. And if you just use it casually as a bookreader in the evening and mail-reader on the breakfast table, the tablets will easily go days at a time.
The handsets... not so much. -Tim On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 10:12 AM, Kiran Jonnalagadda <[email protected]> wrote: > On 14-Jul-2011, at 9:05 PM, Tim Bray wrote: > >> Well, I have read a *lot* of books on the Galaxy Tab, some >> "paperback-like" and some not at all.
