What do you want it for? They are reasonably similar hardware wise so it comes down to the OS mostly -- I'd give both of them a try if you can. The Tab has the two camera's, weighs a fair bit less, supports flash and I think it can make calls too; the iPad has better battery life, a larger...

Comparing how many bars of signal strength you get isn't a good way to compare signal strength, as it is the programmers who decide what bars get shown for what signal strength (-113 dBm (weakest) to -51dBm (strongest)). Page 2 of the iPhone 4 Anandtech review covers the antenna issue very...

Gah! Horrible chart lol

Bah, I'm just waiting for iPhone 4 in Australia, I wish it'd be released here soon...

iPhone 4 isn't being recalled: http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/iphone/that--iphone-4-total--recall-is--total-nonsense-20100628-zd26.html There's a rumour going around that on monday a software update will fix the reception issues, based on what I've read, I'd agree with it. Signal getting...

... I'm not a fanboy, I'm not trolling, I'm not a wannabe, and I don't want my iPhone to be anything like Android, and your last comment is disgusting... plus, you're rude. You're just resorting to insults because you can't actually muster up any defence to what sbartz said, because there is...

As sbartz posted, I was wrong, there were 500 WiFi base stations there, causing interference.

Ah yeah, that clarifies things a bit.

You can't compare that, for all we know the Nexus One was on a private WiFi network and the rest of the people were using a public one, would have been a good idea for Apple to do that, if they could. Plus, we also don't know the bandwidth available to either of the events, not a good basis to...

I can confirm that Bing is a choice, mine is by default Google. I can't wait until the iPhone 4 is released, I want to see some benchmarks for the CPU, GPU, battery life, etc. If you watch the Keynote, that's what you see. Over 500 people were connected to the WiFi at WWDC, so when he did and...

I'm aware that they are not the same, I think you're wrong on that one, fast app switching isn't supported by all apps, only those that are programmed for it (which so far seems to be only DropBox), however any app will still show up in the app switching bar, but it'll re-open from scratch, like...

Yes, and I was replying to something Jack said I think, saying that Facebook is able to give me notifications... Wow, that's just rude man, it was just a question... seriously... ... I'm aware of that, not once did you mention you know what I meant, so I was telling you. All the ones that...

Erm I'd rather not. I was hoping for a short answer, but if that isn't possible then I'll be OK not knowing. Erm, I meant in the regard it being much more fluid than I thought, not limited. I've been reading up about individual multitasking types, although I can't discuss them until OS 4 is...

I've got over 120+ iPhone apps, a lot of games, and a few others. It's very rare I encounter a crash, they are there though. I've had a lot more crashes on iPad apps though, particularly third party apps. Also, you can go to your Receipt under your iTunes account and flag an item and e-mail them...

That I do know, I'm thinking though that because the app is running in the background, it is using some CPU cycles that it shouldn't, but perhaps if it's coded properly it won't. I'm not sure he ever said that, I may have just assumed that. I sort of knew that too, but thanks for clarifying.
