Samsung Galaxy Tablet used in OAMTC EC135

While I had started a thread seeking advice on whether the current iPad or iPad mini would be better use in the cockpit, I came across a 2012 summer or autumn issue of the OAMTC Christophorous FLugrettung magazine and there is an article about the OAMTC crews being issued with the Galaxy tablet. The flight operator / paramedic uses it in flight as its installed on the left hand seat of the EC135.

I thought as the Apple iPad was being used initially by the attack helo squadrons crews flying the AH-1W/Z for nav and targeting data as well as by their fixed wing KC-130J Harvest Hawk crews, and a lot of civil pilots I know do use the iPad and its been slowly introduced on the flight deck of commercial airliners as a new EFB, I'm curious about the selection Galaxy tablet is being used in the cockpit for the Christophorous crews.

Cheers
