Unhappy Sammy - 16 Percent Return Rate for Samsung Galaxy Tab

[dgstorm]

A report from ITG Investment Research indicates that an alarmingly high number of people are returning their Samsung Galaxy Tab's after purchase. They tracked the return data from nearly 6000 point-of-sale systems at wireless stores in the U.S. from November through January 15. According to their findings, returns on the Galaxy Tab hit a whopping 16 percent. Compare that with Apple's iPad which had a return rate of just 2 percent and you get a broader perspective on just how bad that is. It makes you wonder why? Is their a major design flaw? Is the Froyo OS not really optimized for the tablet? For all you Galaxy Tab users out there... sound off in the forums and let us know what you think may be causing this.

Interesting. I do not believe the OS was the rational for returning the one in the photo.

Never discount a lack of intelligence for some people. LOL

I honestly think the Galaxy tab was rushed to the market too soon. My thought is that the Xoom is really going to be one of the first contenders as a real tablet to go up against the iPad. It looks to be a great device.

Or they went out and got a Nook Color for a fraction of the price. They're totally sold out all over NorCal, and backordered for weeks out...my friend ordered thru B&N TWO WEEKS ago, and kept getting the bump-out..now saying end of February to deliver.
