Q. Trying to decide which to get price is not a matter here
A. The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (4inch display $230) and 5.0 (5inch display $270) both have a host of hardware features that the iPod Touch 4g does not have:
- GPS (the real deal, not just WiFi-based. Apps like "CoPilot Live USA" ($10) have offline maps so you can use the Galaxy Player just like dedicated GPS while traveling.)
- FM tuner (great for WiFi dead spots)
- Vibration feedback for UI, alarms, and games
- 3 silent capacitive touch controls on display (settings, home, and back)
- microSD card slot (up to 32GB card + built-in 8GB = 40GB max at any time. Be sure to buy the highest speed class (10 is highest right now) microSD card for snappy read/write speed.)
- LED camera flash (5.0 model only)
- 3.2MP back camera (iPod Touch has 0.7MP back camera)
- 1GHz Hummingbird processor
So, as for hardware features, the Galaxy Players 4.0 and 5.0 are far ahead of the iPod Touch.
However, the iPod Touch's 3.5inch 960Ã640 display has a higher resolution than the Galaxy Players' 800x480 Super TFT "SuperClear" LCD display. I own a Galaxy Player 4.0 and an iPod Touch 4g. If you bring the screens right up to your eyes, the iPod's display looks better, but if you view them from a normal distance, the Galaxy Players' display has darker black levels, can get much much brighter, and has a wider viewing angle. I prefer the Galaxy Player for normal arm's length viewing.
The Galaxy Players have a plastic back plate and are thicker than the iPod Touch 4g. However, they are surprisingly light for such comparatively large devices. The Galaxy 4.0 is quite pocketable, but I have not personally tried to pocket a Galaxy 5.0.
You can directly connect an iPod Touch 4g via a 3rd party cable to the HDMI, RCA, or component video inputs of a TV. This is known as MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link). The Galaxy Players do not support MHL, so no cable can export video from the device via the microUSB port. However, the Galaxy Players 4.0 and 5.0 do support AllShare (a Samsung customized layer on the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) industry standard), which allows them to wirelessly transmit audio+video to AllShare/DLNA compatible TVs. Here is a demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1aYipj60Cc&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLE51104BDD5CC802F
The iPod's major advantage is access to iTunes. For Android devices, one has the Android Market, Samsung App, Amazon App Store, etc. You will probably be able to find the same or an equivalent Android app that you could find on iTunes. However, it's the shopping and dealing with multiple vendor portals (and even in-app purchases for app upgrades) that those used to the ease and comfort of iTunes may find disconcerting. Android portals for apps and content (books, music, video) are getting better every year, but no one Android portal is currently in the same class as Apple's iTunes. That is just something you would have to live with if you go with Android.
I can't speak to the Galaxy Players' durability, etc. because they have only been released in the US since Oct/16/2011. However, in my opinion, they offer superior hardware features (listed above) and, once you get all of your favorite apps and settings lined up, you will likely have a better day to day experience. However, if the notion of shopping around for Android apps you want and not being able to get all of your content in one place doesn't appeal to you, then I would recommend sticking
with Apple's iPod Touch 4g. The iPod Touch's display may be smaller and its hardware features in need of an upgrade (no luck this year), but it is a rock solid device with a the one-stop-shopping iTunes juggernaut at your fingertips.
Good luck, and happy shopping :)

Which tablet should I pick?
Q. Recently, I have decided to buy a Samsung Galaxy Tablet 2, but I'm not sure weather to buy the the 7 inch tablet or the 10.1 inch tablet. The 7 inch tablet is priced at $249 and uses android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) the 10.1 inch is priced at $299 and use Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) I was wandering how much of a difference Ice Cream Sandwich is compared to Honeycomb. If it is only a slight change I am probably going to go with the 10 incher.

What 10" tablet should I get?
Q. I'm looking to get a 10" tablet for $250 or under. I want something that has a clear screen and touch you barely have touch (like my phone samsung galaxy 2's screen) It doesn't have to have a boat load of gigs. One that has a up to date android 2.3 or higher. I want one that ipad person would be jealous of. I know there is so many out there. So please help.

I can sugest you two choices ..... new android 4.0 tablets now available. Those tablet are the "iPad killers"!
- Cube U9GT2 (16GB) ~249$
- ONDA vi40 Elite (16GB) ~289$
Both the Onda VI40 Android 4.0 IPS Capacitive tablet PC and the Cube U9T2 ICS have very similar specifications and features. First is the 9.7" Capacitive multi-touch IPS screen.
Onda made its name way back in 2008 when it released a 4.3" touch screen mp4 player that please called an iPod Touch wannabe or alternative. This model did well, but the marketing and product development of the company went astray.
This is why I was both suprised and happy to be reviewing first 9.7" Android 4.0 tablet PC by Onda, the VI40 Elite Edition Tablet PC. Boasting 9.7-inch 1024 x 768 capacitive multi-touch IPS display it seems to be 5-point touch. It adopts the fastest yet 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A10 processor with Mali-400 GPU (graphics processor).
The onda VI40 Elite tablet also packs dual cameras, a 1.3 Mega Pixel front-facing camera and a 5.0M pixel rear-facing camera. More the VI40 supports 2160p Super HD video playback.
It has a 6500mAh battery giving you around 4.5 to 5 hours of internet surfing time.
The Cube U9GT2 also has a 9.7" IPS screen but with a more responsive 10-point multi touch screen. The processor is not as fast but will do the job clocking in at 1.2GHz on a Rockchip RK2918 CPU.
In addition to a better screen, the Cube Android 4.0 Tablet also has 16gb of built-in memory compared to Onda's 8gb. The Cube tablet also has larger 8000mah battery for 6 hours of internet surfing or "10 hours music, 4 hours video, 5 hours wifi."
The Cube doesn't have a 5mp camera but it does have dual 2 mega pixel cameras for quality photos and video from front and back.
The Onda VI40 Elite may prove to rule supreme as today's android tablet forum enthusiasts like the cheapest deal, even if the battery only gets an hour less usage from a full charge.
Both have microSD card slots so one could buy a memory card to make up for the 8gb of memory the Onda so dearly misses.
Last thought, the Apple iPad 2 should be wetting its pants now. Both of these tablets are more powerful and have just as responsive capacitive screens. Not to mention extra goodies like dual cameras and open source Ice Cream Sandwich. Yum!
