Since 1990, when Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time® burst on the world with its first book, The Eye of the World, listeners have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over 40 million copies in over 32 languages.
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were number-one New York Times hardcover best sellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind.
Edited by Jordan's widow, who edited all of Jordan's books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan's legions of listeners.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, May yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

"Epic series comes to a close"
After spending months listening to the entire series, the question naturally arises: "What now?" The answer is obvious: listen to more books by Brandon Sanderson!
The last volumes of The Wheel of Time written by Sanderson were, for me, the best. The writing remained true to Jordan's style to the extent that I wouldn't have suspected that another author was involved, if I hadn't known this before reading. But major flaws (in my opinion) in the series were missing. Jordan tended to describe in detail and name hundreds of minor characters. Some of these characters would appear much later on without explanation, so the only way to remember who they were was to look the character up on the Internet. Reading the books on a Kindle would have been easier than listening to the Audible version in these cases, because one could use the search function to find previous mentions of the character. Also, Jordan made the main female characters so obnoxious, that it was hard for me to get past the first couple of volumes. This wore off (or maybe the characters matured) in the course of the series, and in the volumes written by Sanderson the annoyance was gone. Jordan also tended to leave lots of loose ends that were never clarified. I didn't notice this happening in the volumes written by Sanderson.
There was one thing about the entire series that did put me off: Rand loving and mating with three beautiful women who were willing to share him with each other. This was more of a (male) author's dream rather than a believable story plot. This was Jordan's doing, though, and not Sanderson's.
I found the actual ending to be rather weird and less than satisfying, but that doesn't alter the enjoyment of reading the volumes written by Sanderson.
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading were, as always, excellent.
"Great Ending to a Great Series"
Robert Jordan's final installment of The Wheel of Time series, written by Brand Sanderson, was released back in January. It was the culmination of his epic saga that finished with a bang, thanks to the help of Brandon Sanderson. A MEMORY OF LIGHT successfully concluded the series with tears of joy and sadness. The endings for all the characters that we have followed for years were all wrapped up nice and tight. The book was drawn together in a neat bundle with exciting plot lines, characters, and paths that took unexpected and rewarding turns throughout. A MEMORY OF LIGHT was all that I could have expected for the ending of an epic so massive that it took twenty years to finish.
Lover of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, mystery, and westerns in all media, including old-time radio dramatizations.
"Must have!"
Those who are considering purchasing this book probably already know that the WOT series had it's highs and lows. Jordan started off brilliant, then slowly faded in the middle of the series. However, I believe that those works were essential to the series. No disrespect intended to the great storyteller Robert Jordan, but Brandon Sanderson completes this epic work with a skill and passion that equals, or exceeds, the early Jordan work. This is EASILY my favorite book of the series. If you are new to WOT, do yourself a huge favor, and start at the beginning. If you are a life-long friend, you will leave 'A Memory of Light' with many unanswered questions, but having really enjoyed the ride.
Brilliantly conceived by Jordon, masterfully written by Sanderson, beautifully executed by Kramer and Reading.
My HIGHEST recommendation.
"And so it comes to an end..."
I had so many feelings about this book. Excitement that I was about to begin the last book of the Wheel Of Time. Riveted as the last battle played out. Regret as I grew closer to the end of the book. Sorrow as some of my favorite charterers fell. Joy as others became heroes, and ultimately shock that this is the end.
I have to admit that I am a late comer to the Wheel Of Time. A while back I began this journey attempting to get through every audiobook in the series before this last book came out. I didn't quite make it, but it seems that the characters of the Wheel Of Time have been a part of my life every day for a long time. I have watched them grow from farmers to kings and queens, and from heroes to villains. It will be strange putting on my headphones and listening to something else.
May Robert Jordan rest in peace knowing he brought such a masterpiece to the world, and many thanks to Brandon Sanderson who wrote three of the best books in the series including an awesome ending. A Memory Of Light was everything I hoped it would be.
"Narration No-No's"
Top 25%.
Tieing up all the loose ends was very well done. I had trouble turning off my book to do other things.
GOOD, FAMILIAR but LACKING continuity with prior books.
When a new book comes out in a series, I try to relisten to at least some of the preceeding books. I am always amazed then to find that the same narrators suddenly have assigned different voices, pronunciations and accents to characters they have established so firmly in previous books. It seems that everytime I am totally entranced by the audiobook, one of those changed characters shows up and breaks the spell. Perhaps Kate and Michael should familiarize themselves with their own characterizations. All in all I enjoyed it but the change is a Narration NO-NO.
"Hated to see it end"
No just as nice
That would be to big a spoiler to put in a review. The ending was and wasnt as expected.
Matt of course the scoundrel of the bunch.
The Wheel weaves as the Wheel will
I have listed to several books now from the Voice Actors and they are fantastic. They actually have me enjoying the audible version more due to the color and emotion they project into their performances.
Excellent capstone to the series. Middle of the series was uneven and pandering. Probably could have gotten rid of 5 books. Took so long that I hardly remember the earlier books.
Elayne seemed to be the richest characterization and depth. Wish they had spent more on Lan's character.
"The Best Book of an Amazing Series"
Cherry on top
Too many. All of the loose ends were tied up.
You can't fall in love with the characters, especially Matt, without their wonderful performance.
It's too long...
I never expected book 14 to be the best, but it was, without question, the finest book of the series.
"Sitting on the edge of my seat!!!"
Yes, there are going to be things I missed the first time & I've listened to each of the other books in this series at least twice each :)
Also there will come a time when I want to walk through this world again, from start to finish.
Favorites charactersssss! Naturally Rand Al Thor, as he is THE main character, but also Perrin, Mat & Avienda. Secondly Eqwene, Elaine, Nyneve & Lan.
Yes, but this series is the one I'm most familiar with them. I enjoy their narration, although I found that the accents & tones they used with particular characters was not as constant in this book as it had been in past books. Also I would have liked to have them team up a little differently, I would have Kramer voice only & all the male thoughts (narrations) & Reading do the same for the females.
This book was the final battle for the powers of good against evil, all the characters that I'd come to know & love would be in that fight. Therefore I knew that not everyone would make it through alive & so I sat on the edge of my seat, almost holding my breath, as time & time again one or another of them came close to death.
This entire book is the climax of the series & couldn't have been done better!
It is a wonderful ending to The Wheel of Time series and has not left me wondering what will happen next. Nor has it left me wishing that another series will spring from this one.
Kudos to Robert Jordan for leaving notes & instructions on how he wanted the final story(s) to work & to Brandon Sanderson for stepping in so well that you can't tell what parts are his additions.
"The greatest fantasy series ever written."
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are hands down two of the best audio performers on the planet. They ARE the characters of the Wheel of Time and, although I stopped listening and read the last chapter in print before I listened to it just to savor the printed experience of such a monumental ending, it wasn't complete until I heard them finish it. I've started the Brandon Sanderson fantasy series just because they are the readers.
This is a worthy finale to what is, without a doubt, the greatest fantasy series of all time. It wraps most of the story lines into a sensible, satisfying conclusion.
The last one.
It might be a stretch to say that it made me laugh or cry, but I did feel the weight of concluding a 14 volume, 8,000 page epic. One that I started reading more than 20 years ago. It also is sad to think that Robert Jordan is gone and that, for the first time in my entire adult life, there isn't going to be another Wheel of Time book coming down the road.
"A fitting tribute to Robert Jordan."
The triumphant finally to this much loved series.
There were times throughout the series that I felt the books had become stretched but the fast paced action in this book is everything us die hard fans wanted from the series.
Without giving anything away, there are more twists and turns in this book that keep the reader on its toes and causes you to question everyone's motives and actions.
If you haven't already read this series please do if only to get the background infomation to read this book.
A triumph for Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan.
"A Perfect End"
There are so many good, well developed characters, it's almost impossible to choose. Easier to pick my least favourite. Many people will disagree, but I HATED Perrin.
These two narrators are brilliant.
I loved the way Kate Reading played Nynaeve throughout the series.
Obviously Rand..
The epilogue was very moving. I don't know if that was more because I had been on this fantastic journey watching these characters develop and live their lives, and it was all about to be over. I started the series in January, rarely did I stop listening.
Sanderson did a brilliant job, he was the reason I got round to WoT. The series did seem to have gone a bit stale after KoD, but Sanderson picked it right back up again.
"perfect ending to an incredible series"
Brandon Sanderson kept his promise to Robert Jordon's request . He retained all the characters in their natural state of play as pre-written by by Robert Jordon.
ABSOLUTELY, the entire series gave me many many hours of great listening. This has to be one of the best series i have ever listened to
The Eye of the World was one of the first fantasy books I read, so I have some significant emotional attachment to this series and cannot convey how excited I was to complete it.I absolutely loved the books that Brandon wrote and so I went into this book with very high hopes, but while it was fast paced and resolved the big plot points, I didn't find many of the resolutions very satisfying at all. I think I would have been happier not ever reading Robert Jordans ending and just sticking with my own imagination about what could have happened. It felt like someone just shouting at me 'THIS IS SO EPIC', while not being that epic. Characters that had been carefully nurtured for books and books were just thrown away for minor reasons and story arcs that had been building since the start of the book were just...ended.I think the two least satisfying resolutions were those of Padan Fain, who was built up through the entire series it seems for no reason, and Demandred who just came off as an idiotic nutter who just didn't know what was going on, again after being built up for about half the series.The book long battle scene also got a bit dull by the end.So yeah, if you've read the rest you're obviously going to want to finish it so whatever anyone puts is not going to make any difference, but at the same time...I wouldn't recommend bothering.
"So sad it had to end"
Epic, Involved, Awesome
Its like a bigger version of any fantasy book
Mat Cauthon and Cadsuan (maybe mispelt)
Get ready!
Towards the end of the final book i found myself thinking that maybe I shouldn't listen to it for a while as once its over its over. I found myself wondering what will fill the void left behind. I need to find something to listen too which will pull me in me as much as the Wheel of Time has done. Its almost like wondering if I will ever love again. Sounds stupid but that is how much I have enjoyed the Wheel of Time.
"Satisfying conclusion to an epic journey"
I signed up for an Audible account just so that I could listen to this audio book. This is the first of the series I have listened to before reading the book.
Michael Kramer, as always, puts in a fantastic performance. His voice sounds a bit gravellier these days (understandable given the length of time taken to finish the series) but is still a joy to listen to. Unfortunately Kate Reading still puts in the occasional wooden performance as if she's reading word by word from an autocue. After 14 audiobooks I'm still not sure if this is her way of differentiating certain characters (if so, it doesn't work) but it's only noticeable for short stretches.
Brandon Sanderson has does a fine job of concluding Robert Jordan's masterwork. There are plenty of satisfying plot twists. The action proceeds at pace (frenetic in the second half) and yet manages to weave the main character threads into a satisfying conclusion.
At times the battle scenes seemed a bit exhausting: fitting for 'The Last Battle' perhaps, but not as enjoyable as the mix of intrigue and action played out in the best of earlier books. However, that's a minor quibble – if you've listened or read the other books, what are you waiting for?
If you've just discovered the Wheel of Time then start at the beginning: you're in for an epic journey!
"Great ending to the fantastic wheel of time series"
It's in the top 10, with most of the other wheel of time books
I can't really compare this book with any other unless it was to compare it to one of the other wheel of time books. Sanderson has done a great job of completing this series on behalf of Robert Jordan
I've listened to all the wheel of time books & Michael Kramer & Kate Reading always bring the books & characters to life. I always enjoy listening to their narration after I've read the book, to see how much more life they bring to the characters than I had in my own reading.
They've made the wheel of time books some of the few books I enjoy more in audio format than in the original book format.
I often laugh & cry with the wheel of time books, especially when a main character died in this book.
The wheel of time should be in all fantasy fans collection
"The end was not what I expected"
I think the series became darker near the finish. I don't complane I knew that same of the people need to die (sense it was the last battle) but I would have left some of the dead alive anyway...
The end was a pit strange but can't say more so I won't give to much spoilers.
Hated the fact that the serie ended.
I spent in a car more than 2 hours per day and this serie has kept me awake in the mornings:)
I was hesitant, I have to admit it, but frankly I think that Brandon Sanderson has done a wonderful job, and his denouement is excellent, satisfying and tying together all the threads.
He did not shirk from allowing significant characters to die, but he also found ways to make them meaningful for those who find it difficult to accept the loss of a major character.
I have thoroughly enjoyed his interpretation of the end of this wonderful saga, and would have to admit that he sidesteps all of the niggling irritations that I worked hard to ignore in earlier books, such as the tendency to repeat things over and over.
Well done
"The Greatest"
Ranks in my top 5 audio books of all time
I love Rand for his suffering and his love. I think he encompasses all the best of human emotion and potential.
I enjoyed how well the readers voiced each character in the story. I could easily distinguish each one.
If it weren't for the fact that everyday life intruded, I would not press the pause button at all!
I am sad to see the end of The Wheel Of Time.

Dr. Betsy's New Book, 'Aesop's Keys to Profitable Marketing' is Released
Daytona Beaach, FL
Should exporters allocate resources equally even though some investments are more profitable than others? No, exporters should concentrate their resources where they will produce the best rate of return.
For example, a universal law, the 80/20 rule, predicts that the top twenty percent of customers will produce eighty percent of the profits.
"Dr. Kruger has laid out an easy-to-use process for growing top customers in any business," states Robert Iocco, CPA, CIC, CEO, Trustpoint Insurance, Bristol, VA.
For example, this is one way to interpret a parable by Jesus about using talents in business. A man entrusts his wealth to three servants while he travels. Two servants trade his talents to increase the man's wealth. The third servant digs a hole in the ground and hides the wealth. When the man returns, he praises the two successful businessmen but condemns the unprofitable miser.
A few centuries before Jesus, Aesop told a similar tale. Aesop's neighbor converted all of his riches into gold, melted it into an ingot, and buried it in a secret place. Every day he gloated over his treasure for hours. Aesop said, "He left his heart and spirit in the hole." His servant snoops on him, sneaks back to the place, and snitches the lump of gold. When the Miser returns, he discovers the hole is empty. In despair, the man pulls his hair and cries, "My treasure is gone!"
Aesop pretends to sympathize with his neighbor's loss. "Don't despair like that, my friend. You won't miss it. Just put a brick in the hole and imagine it's your gold. You won't be any worse off than before. Before you lost it, your gold was of no earthly use to you." Aesop chides misers. "Unused possessions create no good." Make good use of your wealth.

I have been doing modified (on my knees) pushups and I know they are okay to do in pregnancy and they feel fine but I looked at my stomach while dping them and it looks like my stomach is caving in. Has anyone else experienced this? I think my abs have seperated and my uterus is falling down more in that section? Its scary lookung but again, there is no discomfort. I'm going to ask my dr about it at my next appointment.
are you still doing push ups?

I still do reg pushups and plank.My stomach looks like cone-ish when I do it, but haven't thought anything of it bc there's no discomfort. Bookmarking bc interested in other ppl's experiences and what you fin out when you ask dr :)
Posted 08/01/2014
I do them, and my stomach looks weird, too. This is my third baby, though, so I'm used to it, and my stomach has looked weird doing push-ups ever since I had my first baby, even when not pregnant.

Same thing is happening here! My MW said it is my abs separating. I just noticed it last week so I've been trying to pull my belly button into my back and squeeze my butt when doing push ups. Definitely makes it more challenging!
Posted 08/01/2014
Oh phew, I'm glad I'm not the only one! Yes it looks like a cone or almost like a broom handle or knob is sticking out of my stomach. I get it while doing planks too. Ill let you all know what my Dr says after I see her Tuesday.

I'll have to try this, it's hard engaging my abs at this point.

I'm not 100 percent sure but I heard you can actually run your fingers down the center of your stomach and feel the seperation. I think most abdominals seperate at some point during pregnancy.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
One year later, fed-prov oilsands monitoring plan still shows no public results
OTTAWA - The revamping of environmental monitoring of the oilsands was supposed to be the federal government's defence against suspicions of widespread damage.
Now, a full year after Alberta and Ottawa unveiled a three-year plan to set aside their differences and keep a closer watch on the air, water and habitat in northern Alberta, there are still no formal results.
The Conservatives are striving to shore up their environmental credentials in the wake of a public chiding from the federal environmental watchdog and weighty words about climate change from U.S. President Barack Obama.
The centrepiece of Canada's credibility is the oilsands monitoring program. But progress on that front has become caught up in federal-provincial negotiations about technical details.
"We're not yet at a stage where we can release the data and say 'here is what we currently know'," said Karen Dodds, assistant deputy minister of Environment Canada's science and technology branch.
But they are getting close, she says.
Federal and provincial scientists have already scaled up their monitoring of the water systems in areas around the oilsands. Because they were able to start their co-operative efforts last year before the spring melt, they were able to gather data from deposits on top of the snow.
The scientists are also bolstering previous work done on air-quality monitoring. On the biodiversity front, they have begun monitoring specific species.
"All in all, on the ground, a significantly increased effort," Dodds said in an interview.
But the governments' promises to publish its data for all the world to see, use and judge accordingly have not yet been fulfilled — despite anticipation that the facts would begin flowing before the end of 2012.
"We will make the system highly transparent. We will ensure that the scientific data that is collected from our monitoring and analysis is publicly available with common quality assurances and common practices in place," Environment Minister Peter Kent said a year ago, at a joint news conference with Alberta Environment Minister Diana McQueen.
"It is critical that we get the development of Canada's oilsands right."
The hope is to start releasing data through a publicly accessible portal soon — perhaps by the end of the month, although no date has been made final.
Some types of data would be streamed continuously as scientists produce it. Other data would be released at periodic intervals of three or six months. And other categories would be released more holistically, presented in a way that would prevent analysts from coming to spurious conclusions based on a partial picture, Dodds said.
Even though researchers are already producing different types of information, the program can't publish until it can reconcile its current data with information produced in the past, and what is still being produced, by an array of regional organizations, said Dodds.
And everyone involved has to agree on how the data should be presented, create standards for the future and relate different data sets together.
"We're not at that point yet," she said. Why not? "It's just time and effort. Folks from both Alberta and my shop are absolutely working full out on this."
But politics are clearly involved, too. Alberta has long resisted federal involvement in how it manages its natural resources. While natural resources are indeed a provincial responsibility, environment is a shared federal-provincial jurisdiction.
The province has made it clear that it wants to take a more dominant role in how the oilsands are monitored. To that end, Alberta is setting up an arm's-length environmental monitoring agency led by scientist Howard Tennant, who pointedly criticized federal involvement when he was appointed last October.
"This is Alberta and it's our resources and it's our responsibility," Tennant said at the time.
"It would be wise for us to work in co-operation with them and enter into contracts but the way I see it they're not running Alberta."
And then there is the bill to pay for it all. Industry players have agreed to pay a maximum of $50 million a year for the monitoring, but so far there is no governance structure to collect the money. Key industry players say they don't want to be involved in paying for research done by some regional groups.
So for now, the effort is being financed by government in the hope of recuperating the money later. McQueen told The Canadian Press last week she wants to see a faster resolution to that issue.
As they wait, environmentalists say new oilsands developments should be put on pause.
Without reliable data on how existing operations are cumulatively interfering with nature, authorities should not be proceeding with other permits, said Jennifer Grant, director of oilsands programming at the Pembina Institute.
"As always, the eyes of the world are on this resource," she said. "We need to manage this resource seriously."
Still, the man whose research about oilsands pollution prompted a widespread questioning of government monitoring says he is encouraged what he has heard so far.
"Scientifically, it's huge progress," said ecology professor David Schindler at the University of Alberta.
Schindler said he also wants answers about who will pay for the new system, and is concerned about lack of aboriginal input and the lack of young scientists involved. But he is enthusiastic about the prospects of seeing data made public by the end of February.
"I'm happy with the scientific progress. I'm not happy with the fact that the taxpayers are still paying for this."

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Alinean, empowering B2B sales and marketing to better quantify and communicate the value of proposed solutions to today's economic-focused buyers, announced today that it has been awarded Safe Harbor certification for complying with a strict set of privacy principles defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce in conjunction with the European Union. Safe Harbor certification signifies that Alinean's Value Marketing and Selling Tools comply with European Union privacy and security laws with regard to the transfer and protection of personal data.
These principles include: providing proper notice to customers when personal data is collected, giving customers the choice to opt out, allowing customers to access and update their personal information, validating the proper use of customer information, transferring information to third parties only if they comply with similar privacy standards, and providing adequate security of information and ensuring proper security and policy enforcement.
Today's B2B buyer has fundamentally changed, requiring quantifiable proof as to the bottom-line impact of proposed solutions – a condition termed Frugalnomics. Alinean Value Marketing and Selling Tools are designed to help B2B firms fight Frugalnomics, quantifying and communicating the value story of proposed solutions to prospects. The tools include online Interactive White Papers, Benefits Estimators, Diagnostic Assessments and ROI/TCO Analysis tools, as well as the new ValueStory iPad App.

"Safe Harbor certification helps assure that the information users provide to Alinean is properly used, protected and secure, increasing credibility and trust in the tool results."
The U.S.-European Union Safe Harbor Framework was developed by the US and the European Union to bridge differences in data protection and privacy requirements between the two governmental entities, ensuring that European Union users know that an organization provides proper privacy protection and safeguards.
Further information on Alinean's commitment to security, including Alinean's privacy policy, is available on the Alinean website at http://alinean.com/certified.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power - Benito Mussolini
KOREAN GIANT Samsung has sold one million of its 7-inch Galaxy Tab devices.
The firm confirmed the lofty numbers in an email to us, but would not be drawn on how many it had sold in the UK.
The Galaxy Tab has been seen as a worthy competitor to the Ipad, which sold one million units in about a month. Although it has not been in the shops long, it has won good reviews wherever it goes and is slightly more reasonably priced than its cappuccino competitor.
It does have some catching up to do though. Apple announced that in its last financial quarter ended in October, it sold over four million of its tablet devices, and that number is only likely to have increased in the runup to the Christmas.
Samsung's tablet is likely to continue to sell, although perhaps not as fast as the Ipad has. Meanwhile, while Apple will not bend on the preferred size of a tablet, the Korean firm is already working on a bigger screen version of its netbook without a keyboard.
We liked the Samsung Galaxy Tab when we reviewed it, but the Ipad, not so much. µ
