Hi all,
With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S, I think I've found a tablet that will allow me to put my 3rd Gen iPad out to pasture. The only sticking point being that I use my iPad mostly for movie watching on the go, and use it to watch a lot of MKV files specifically (I find that even the larger 3-4gb rips run very well even though my ipad has aged technologically-speaking).
I've read reports that Samsung Galaxy tablets are unable to play MKV files, and need to convert MKVs to a different, compliant format before they can be played back. Is this true of the new Samsung Galaxy S tablets as well ? If so, I can't see myself bothering as MKV playback is too important..I gave up converting AVI and MKV videos to different formats for the iPad years ago when I discovered AV Player and Cinexplayer for iOS and I ain't going back there to convert stuff and store multiple copies of movies for anything !!
If these tablets don't play MKV without fuss I'd have to wait around for a new ipad Air 2 or something.
