Of all the Tab posts today (and there have been many) Anandtech is probably the best:

I will try to post more, but I'm extremely busy today.

That's a good question. It's likely host, as driving something like a printer would require it -- unless samsung printers are hosts. Weather or not it is powered remains to be seen.

I could be very wrong about this, but it seems right in my head!

Anyone else care to weigh in?

If you were wondering about the PLS tech in the Tab screens, take a look at this!

http://thetechjournal.com/tech-news/...pls-spls.xhtml

Apparently Samsung developed PLS to offer better brightness, better viewing angle than existing IPS at around 15% cost savings. A very interesting technology.

Apple was apparently interested in using PLS for their devices at one point. With production starting en mass in 2011, it's clear why they couldn't use the tech in their devices.

This. Is. Awesome.

Introducing Snapkeys 2i imaginary typing interface:

http://www.snapkeys.com/

It is a 'blind typing' system that will be unveiled at CTIA.

This seems like a great solution for typing without covering the screen. It looks like an app, but who knows, it may be a virtual keyboard option for Android.

Especially awesome since snapkeys somehow makes it impossible to make a typo, as the demo shows.

This pen-like device is basically a Bluetooth handset that you carry in your pocket. Your tablet stays in your bag, but you can make and place calls with this tiny pen device. This is ****ing perfect! Samsung nailed it! BT handsets are incredibly rare, and this is right on the money.

With low-cost data-plans, this is looking to be a shockingly solid offering.

I'm beaming... Time to simmer down..
Considering how long it takes me to lose a pen, unless these things are $5 each, I'm not too hopeful.

Hahaha... Fair enough..

Hopefully it won't be some proprietary crap, but a HSP bluetooth device. I think the world has been waiting for such a device.

Oh, and these things are likely $5 each... to produce!

Who needs typos when you have incomprehensible sentences?
