"Samsung Electronics is taking yet another swipe at its longtime partner, Apple. The South Korean manufacturer on Saturday introduced a new 8-inch tablet, intended to compete directly with Apple’s 7.9-inch iPad Mini.
Like Samsung’s other tablets (and unlike the iPad), the Galaxy Note 8.0 includes a stylus, runs Android software and is capable of showing multiple apps on the screen at the same time."
