This posting is to provide more information. I do not say Samsung products
are good or bad, because I have not used most of modern electronics (like
smartphones, not to mention tablets--computers, yes). A month ago, Taipei's
DigiTimes reported that Apple would switch chip maker from Samsung to Taiwan
Semiconduuctor Manufacturing Company, from Samsung, because Apple was
concerned that Samsung was a competitor. (Samsung will still make memory
chips for Apple.) Officially Apple has not said whether iPad 2 would use A4
or A5 chip (but iPad's will be dual core, rather than one core in iPad 1).
There are a few reports saying that iPad 2 would still use A4 but those
reports are not official. If you are interested in this piece of information
before you buy iPad 2, you will have to find it out yourself. The FT report requires sign-in. If you dislike it, you may skip it; after all, the FT report only help you understand Samsung strategy (it is not earth-shattering and mainly talks about smartphone catch-up, not about tablet).

(like me).
