If they would just reduced it to 7" then it would have a nice PPI for reading.

Reading doesn't need high PPI..the wording will look quite the same. But will noticeable when see images. No problem to me though as I'm more to e-reading and jotting notes with the SPen..lolz

A bit of news about Note 8" from Sammobile

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/24/mwc-sa...alaxy-note-8-0/

189ppi is ok if the contrast is good. Note 8.0 is almost a perfect tablet for me. Wish it comes with 64GB and cradle

You can always expand the storage with external 64GB sdcard.
Yes..cradle would be nice.

I know but app installation can only be in internal storage. Im fun of install many apps into my tablet. The more the happy I am

Can always root the pablet and do swapping extsd2intsd mods.

You are joking right?

No..I'm not joking. For reading there's nothing wrong with low PPI.
For Note 8" to have 189 ppi is more than enough for reading comfortably.
Kindle Fire is 7" and has even lower resolution 1024 x 600 and PPI that is 170.
And iPad mini have only 163 PPI yet nobody bemoan about it a bit.

Actually there are huge differences in reading when it comes to ppi. Tried prolonged reading on a Nexus 7, compared to the iPad 2. you'll find that reading on the iPad 2 is like reading without wearing specs, for short sighted person. The words are blur and not crisps enough.

whereas reading wise, when I compare nexus 7 with iPad 3. The difference ain't so severe. So I'm guessing above a certain level of ppi, normal ppl like me (us) will find it harder to differentiate between 2 devices with different ppi?

btw all these is under the condition of not zooming in on the reading materials.

Reading on my nexus 7 with 216ppi is way way more comfortable than on my ipad mini with 163ppi
There is a distinct world of difference when comes to text

Yes..i know higher ppi is better.
What i meant was..for 189 ppi..it should be enough for reading already. It's not that we cannot read at all with that amount of ppi. Otherwise Kinddle cannot be used already because its ppi is less than what Note 8" have.

any new of when is this gonna launch in malaysia?

I heard Q2..meaning around June..!?

earliest can be April?omg !! announce so freaking early

Wow.. Really gonna beat iPad mini GAO GAO

Wow! This is perfect An 8" tablet with stylus. I love my tab 7.7 but it has no pen and suddenly note II is not big enough nowadays. This is just perfect. I'm gonna sell both gadgets to fund for this

Need to wait atleast until April.though

If the camera placement were to be the same as their Tab series it would be so much better looking than a middle placement. Looks so weird and ugly.

Lucky it still have a camera..better have one than none at all
