I would echo your sentiments about Samsung, except my experience has
been with their laser printers. Some...maybe 40%....are great printers.
Solid, reliable, economical. But some of their printers are long-haired,
howling-at-the-moon DOGS.
I purchased one of their larger (40 ppm) laser printers and it ran for
about 1 week...very light duty. I think the print counter showed less
than 200 pages printed. Power supply smoked. They wouldn't replace it
with a new unit, so after much arguing and trying to place blame (I
really think they wanted me to accept the blame for being a customer) I
got a tech to send me a new power supply under warranty and I replaced
it. (That's how I found out what the print count was.)
After the new power supply worked for...you guessed it...another week,
it fried. As I recall, it took several more phone calls lasting nearly 3
hours total to get a guy to agree to swap the unit out for a different
model, albeit a refurbished unit. That unit is still working today,
three years later. Bottom line, sometimes Samsung produces a dog and
they don't deal with it very well.

I agree Allen that is another reason I like the Coby it is much more
responsive.
As to updates We will just have to wait and see.
A little story about Samsung.
Some years ago when the old CRT monitors were around, I had one were the
signal cable was faulty when I tested it out of the box. I spoke to their
technical and found out that they would send a replacement but it would be a
refurbished unit. This was not good enough so I got them to send me a new
signal cable, Supplied my client with a mew monitor of a different make,
sold the Samsung cheap after explaining what had happened and decided never
to sell another Samsung product. Which was a good thing as all the Samsung
CD and DVD drives stared to fail after about 18 months.
Earlier this year I was persuaded to try their laptops and was initially
very pleased with them.
However a couple of months ago a new Laptop arrived and the first problem
was It wouldn't see the Office 2010 DVD. I took out the DVD writer and
reinserted it and it worked just long enough to get Office installed. When I
opened a new document I was surprised to see a thunder fly ( a very small
insect that we get in the millions in rural UK when the corn is being cut)
Crawling up inside the screen. When I rang Samsung, I was informed that
they weren't considered as a warranty problem and that I would have to put
up with it. The fact that the CD/DVD drive was working again they as much as
said I was lying. I sent it back to my supplier and I am still awaiting a
credit.
Never Never will I sell another Samsung product and even though I like my
Daughters Samsung Galaxy I will not be upgrading to one of those.
Cheers
Peter

I this capacitive is more sensitive. I have a resistive android tablet and
it's a dog. One thing I have found with android devices is the lack of
willing to update the o/s. So, many cheapies will come with an o/s and
probably will never get updates. Some phone makers like Samsung are terrible
and treat 6 month old 400+ quid phones as old. So don't buy Samsung as the
chances are they will stay put and never updated. That's one thing, despite
the hate of apple, I will give them, My ipad 2 got ios6 and updates. Might
be more control I know but updates none the less.
Anyway, might be best to do some reading to find out who actually keeps up
to date with older machine and supports them.

I was just browsing around on Amazon - and I see there is a BUNCH of
different versions of their Tablets. At this point - since it would be more
of a Toy - I was just considering the 7" ones. Is that the ones you sell?
Some of them has what they call a "Capacitive Multi-Touch" - another is
referred to as a "Internet Touchscreen Tablet - MID7012-4G", and still
another model claims to be a "Resistive Touchscreen, Black MID7034-4".
I'm not sure what the differences are. So - any further input would be much
appreciated!
