In a followup to its Galaxy Note hybrid phone-cum-mini-tablet, Samsung is reportedly planning to release its successor, the Galaxy Note 2, sometime this year. The Galaxy Note 2 will apparently arrive with a 5.5-inch screen — a fifth of an inch larger than the one found on the original Galaxy Note, which is itself an enormous handset. Hybrids like the Galaxy Note, which are smaller than tablets but larger than typical smartphones, are what ABI Research calls “phablets.” ABI predicts that more than 208 million phablets will ship globally in 2015.
Hello,
Apple appears to be moving towards the 7 inch format ... and who wants even more of the ridiculous courtroom 'Apple v. Android' drama.
Certainly not I.
'Pocketables' seem to be on the rise ... the planet's schoolchildren (and soon their parents) are ... or will be ... demanding 'pocketables' so that their devices can be kept out of sight and away from the thieves and vagabonds.
There's a thought ... is there a developer out there who can create an 'anti-snatch App' - software which renders a 'pocketable tablet' DEAD (albeit retrievable ...) when it leaves the proximity of it's owner.
I suspect the time is approaching for the 'pocketables' market to execute the final 'pinch move' when the 5.5 inch Galaxy Tab and the 7 inch Google Nexus etc. etc. each morph into the ... IDEAL POCKETABLE - 6 INCH - TABLET FOR EVERYONE !
Perhaps HUAWEI or ASUS or SAMSUNG ... together with the ANDROID team at GOOGLE ... have already decided ?
