What many people didn’t know was that Steve Jobs hated Android and held a strong belief that it was plagiarized from their iOS. He was angry, frustrated and wanted to lay waste Android for what it was. He told his autobiographer that android was a grand theft and he was willing to go to any length to fight this war. He threatened the creators of android saying he would not leave this matter alone.

iPhone Vs Samsung

Apple Inc that has a business worth 8 billion dollars with Samsung on components sued the company over potential theft of design and copying the iPad designs. Samsung is not only one of the leading electronics manufacturers but also has Android OS in their tablets and cellular phones. One reason why tablets and Samsung phones have been able to capture market is not only the less cost relative to that offered by Apple Inc but also the OS. Many people now prefer to use Android and not iOS. This means the iOS which was meant to be the only one in the market faced stiff competition and also had to share the market with android based electronics which many companies like Samsung were making.

War of Attrition

Even though Apple Inc has sued both Samsung and Motorola companies for the usage of Android it may be as vulnerable to damages as these two companies. Since the days of Steve Jobs when the litigation against other companies accused of stealing or duplicating Apple Inc technology, the company has also lost many rounds. The reason it has become a war of attrition is that all companies involved in the legal battle may have to pay damages if the court rules in favor of any one of them. That is to say Apple may have to face remaking or paying for its technology that it has fundamentally said was copied.

The Fight Continues

Even if these companies do come together after a settlement, the battle between Google Android and iOS of Apple is likely to go on forever. They both will be in the race to get market shares in both the tablet and smartphone platforms. Android being supplied freely and being open source has a tremendous advantage that it is used by many of the major electronics manufacturers and it can easily take the market share. Also the fact that Android has more apps on its free category in the Google play, the alternative to the app market, it poses great threat to the iPhone sales.

So, Will the Galaxy Player 70 Plus Be a Real Threat to the iPod?

Let’s see… Apple got a bit lazy the last time when they decided to release a new version of the famous iPod Touch and basically added no significant changes to this still pretty popular gadget. Many iPod enthusiasts were not very pleased when they found out that Apple only added a new white version of the gadget – and this was pretty much all they changed. So, will the Galaxy Player 70 Plus be a threat to iPod? Well, yes and no. Namely, Samsung new PMP has been announced in March 2012, and it was announced only for the South Korean market. This means that the western markets will not be affected by this release just yet, and Apple still has time to think about releasing the new version of the iPod along with the rumored release of the iPhone 5.

Samsung’s First Dual-Core Processor PMP

Samsung was not the first company to release a dual-core processor PMP because Sony beat them to this. However, the Galaxy Player 70 Plus is the first Samsung’s dual-core processor powered PMP, working at 1 GHz. The dual-core 1 GHz processor will bring a completely different experience to users, as they will be able to do more things on the 70 Plus, both simultaneously and generally. This powerful processor will offer them a chance to stream videos effortlessly, as well as use all the other functions of this PMP without any problems at all when it comes to speed and convenience.

What Else Does the Galaxy Player 70 Plus Have to Offer?

There is a 5-megapixel camera with the resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels, and features such as Geo tagging, face detection, LED Flash, and so on. The 5-inch touchscreen has the resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and 16 million colors, as well as the multi touch feature. When it comes to memory, users will not be disappointed. Namely, this PMP has a 16 and a 32 GB version, and also features a MicroSD slot that supports memory cards of up to 32 GB. The PMP uses Androids Gingerbread operating system.

Is This PMP Worth Considering?

With announced prices of around $360 (16 GB) and $420 (32 GB), the Samsung Galaxy Player 70 Plus will not exactly be a bargain. Even though many people mistake this for a smartphone, the fact is that this gadget has no GSM support, so you will have to carry your cell phone with you along with the Galaxy Player 70 Plus – so the choice is up to you.
