Much aggrieved tablet becomes health and beauty product dealer

The latest episode in the saga of the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 has the item assuming the role of testing the skin of prospective AmorePacific customers.

Yes, you read that right. Samsung's tablet will be used to evaluate customer skin and then provide detailed information about what product is recommended for them.

To that effect, the Galaxy tab 10.1 will be loaded with AmorePacific brand-related information (Hera, Laneige, Lirikos, etc.).

This is not the first non-casual use that Samsung secured for its much-litigated slate, since at least one hospital found a use for it as well.

That said, it is probable that Samsung will continue to try and find new business uses for this particular electronic, even if it will always remain, at its core, a consumer device, banned or otherwise.
