The Galaxy Tab, Samsung's answer to the iPad, might better be called the boomerang as one Wall Street firm has found that an eye-popping 15 percent of those sold are being returned.

The Galaxy Tab is a slow-seller, as well, according to analysts.

The 15 percent return rate, which covers sales from its November debut through Jan. 16, compares to a 2 percent return rate for Apple's iPad.

"Consumers aren't in love with the device," said Tony Berkman, a consumer tech analyst with ITG.

The South Korean electronics maker announced yesterday that it shipped 2 million Galaxy Tabs, which run Google Android software.

The problem with the Galaxy has been well-chronicled. Samsung rushed the product to market to compete with Apple and relied on software that was never meant to be used for a tablet device.

Google even cautioned that its software, nicknamed Froyo, was not designed for tablet computing, noting that it was developed for smartphones and their smaller screens.

"If you want to get a device out -- if you're [a manufacturer] -- do you have to go with what's available right now or do you wait for the next generation to come out?

"That's the issue Samsung and other manufacturers run into," said Ezra Gottheil, a senior analyst with Technology Business Research.

Rhoda Alexander, an iSuppli analyst, said, "There are a lot of issues with Android tablets, not just Samsung.

"A lot of those products have difficulties with high return rates or with not moving off the shelf."

The tablet market is about to be flooded by devices running Google's latest software, called Honeycomb, which was designed for tablets.

On Feb. 17, Motorola is set to lead the pack with its Xoom, with other makers launching their own later this year.

This is the year Android tablets are expected to make a dent in iPad's dominance, much as Android smartphones challenged the iPhone. gsloane@nypost.com

갤럭시탭의 소비자 반품률이 상대적으로 높은 이유로 제품 자체의 불량보다는 운영체제의 태생적 한계를 꼽았다.

삼성에서 아이패드에 맞서 태블릿 출시를 서두르다 보니 화면이 작은 스마트폰에 최적화된 안드로이드 운영체제

2.2버전(프로요)을 채택할 수밖에 없었고 전용 애플리케이션(응용 프로그램)이 부족하다보니

소비자 만족도가 떨어질 수밖에 없었다는 것이다.

 

이래저래 다음은 10인치가 조만간 나온다는데, 

7인치 갤럭시탭은 '개밥의도토리' 내지  '찬밥' 신세가 될 가능성이 높아보이는구만......!!

 

얼간이..... ㅋㅋㅋ ...

바보..... ㅋㅋㅋㅋ....

씁쓸하구만....!!

 

언론플래이 할 시간있으면 물건 좀 제대로 만들어내라...!
