The Samsung Galaxy Tab is the latest tablet to hit the market
And it has a lot going for it. At 7 inches
It's more compact than the Apple iPad
And it's easier to carry it around with you. Granted
It's still too large to fit in most pockets
But it'll slip into the smallest of bags
And fits perfectly in the hand. The Tab runs the same Android operating system as many of the latest smartphones
Excellent build quality
Supports Full HD 1080p playback
Superb 7in. display
Some clever tweaks to Android 2.2
Solid build quality
Responsive capacitive touchscreen
Flash 10.1 support
Video support
MicroSD card slot

GPS

No USB or HDMI ports
Nice size
Solid build
Android 2.2
Excellent connectivity
Overpriced
Android is poor on tablets
Lack of decent software
Chunky
Not as slick as the iPad
Three separate app stores is just confusing
£550? I could buy an iPad and have money left over for an Apple TV
Scrolling was occasionally sluggish
Rather clumsy movie and music player interfaces
Some features less intuitive than others
The iPad Mini 2 is now much cheaper
Some UI lag
Google Play apps aren't tablet optimised
Price
Zoom in and out could be jerky
Reflective screen
Lack of HD apps/downloads
3G restrictions
Tough competition
Where's the AMOLED?
Making calls not all that practical
Handling with single hand impractical
Photo sensor not up to the quality of the tablet
Web browser too slow
Occasional freeze
Wide bezel around screen
Smartphonecentric OS.
At over £500
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is even more expensive than the Apple iPad
And it's a serious amount of money for a toy. It's not so good for work use – it's not quite big enough for presentations
For instance
And the onscreen keyboard is also more cramped than the Apple iPad's.
Tricky to handle
Expensive
Narrow viewing angles
Battery life could be better
Poor camera
Proprietary connector for charging/PC connection
No Micro-USB
Samsung's content offerings seem a little uninspiring

We think Samsung has struck the right compromise between mobility and and screen size. Undeniable processor power combined with the odd technical hitch mean the Galaxy Tab is a bit of a halfway house however. HD playback is impeccable and the gaming po...
After having used the Samsung Galaxy Tab for a while, it has become clear to us that the Tab is an all-round tablet with specifications that you would expect from a modern tablet. It also shows us the difference with the iPad, for example. The compa...
Overpriced; Android is poor on tablets; lack of decent software
A decent tablet but it’s very expensive and has little software that comes close to justifying the price Good points Small; supports Flash; doubles as a phone Bad points Overpriced; Android is poor on tablets; lack of decent software ...
The Tab may not quite match the iPad for luxurious ease of use or build quality, but shop around and you'll soon find it for £40 less than Apple's cheapest 3G version. However, it is more expensive than the entry level Wi-Fi-only iPad. Even so, the sm...

This is Android's first major tablet and it has some of the usual hiccups in ease of use that will be familiar to Android users, however, the handset is powerful and has a fantastic range of features...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a worthy rival to the Apple iPad. Android 2.2 is a great operating system, it adds a camera and phone capability, and the battery life is excellent. The Tab is also a good size and weight to hold over long periods, and text i...

Tricky to handle, Expensive, Narrow viewing angles
For a start the Tab is slippy in hand. Having removed the front and rear plastic covers I spent time looking for another mystery packing layer, it didn't exist and for a device meant to be carried in one hand it can feel precarious at times. A Kindle 3G i...
The Galaxy Tab, which was provided by Carphone Warehouse, is 7 inches long and weighs 380g, making it a slim and light tablet – more so than the iPad. It has a vivid Super TFT screen and comes equipped with a SIM card slot, a microSD slot that supports...
