Gadget review: Should you go for Samsung Galaxy Note?
It is neither the smartphone, as we know it. Nor it is the tablet, as we know it. This is the perfect example of the hybrid device -- slots in perfectly between the smartphone and tablet. While it may not appeal to everyone, the performance boost is undeniable. The Note pricey, but at the same time it is a niche device as well. Meant for those who find a tablet too big, but at the same time, find the 4.0-inch smartphones a little too small!
