In preparation for the launch of their Android tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung has been hitting up some developers regarding their applications. Samsung is doing everything they can to make their tablet just as successful as their Galaxy S smartphone. Many thoughts go into creating a device, along with the hardware and software designs, customers and future develop hold the heaviest weight. Robert Bonestell and the Plex6 team have been contacted by Samsung about an issue they ran into with the Plex6 team’s Magic 8-ball application and apparently the application was not displaying properly on the 7-inch 600×1040 WSVGA display. Samsung is not expected to check every application, so they have probably been filtering the apps by rating, downloads, etc… in order to make sure that the Galaxy Tab is ranked high among customer satisfaction and is taking the necessary steps to provide a great Android user experience.
Read Samsung’s letter to Robert and the Plex6 team below:
