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
A fully-featured tablet
GPS
Flash video
Landscape and portrait support in many native apps
The editors didn't like
Sluggish interface
Incomplete or frustrating-to-use software features
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
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a fantastic little tablet and matches the iPad just about feature for feature. I think most people can choose between the iPad and the Tab based purely on price and network quality in your area and be happy with either. The Sa...
Size is great for portability, and build quality is as rigid as a Samsung device has ever felt. The hardware is excellent and runs Android 2.2 with TouchWiz smoother than ever, Web browsing is a dream with fast page loads and smooth scrolling/zooming. The screen real estate makes enough of a difference that browsing on a smartphone just won’t cut it anymore, Frontfacing camera opens up twoway v
There are moment where we definitely feel that Android 2.2 is not for tablets. Some applications are shrunk down and don’t use the full breadth of the screen, the whole thing feels like a big phone without the ability to make calls, Not enough done with the interface to differentiate from Samsung’s Galaxy S line of phones. Hopefully future updates will bring Android Honeycomb to round out the ta
the Tab is a solid, beautiful device that’s great to use.Ultimately the customers will be the judges. At this point iPad seem to fend off the most successful challenger, Samsung Galaxy Tab, when it comes t...
Still the best non-iPad tablet. Plans include Wi-Fi hotspots. Not much bloatware.
High up-front price. Blocks non-Android Market apps. AT&T's own apps are subpar.
AT&T must love selling iPads, because the carrier hasn't given consumers much reason to choose its Galaxy Tab over the four competing carrier models. Buy it now...

Contrary to what Steve Jobs has said, you don't have to sand your fingers down to use the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The 7inch screen works fine. So it's not as big at the iPad's 9.7inch display, but it doesn't feel as cramped as certain people would have you th
So the Samsung Galaxy Tab can make calls and take pictures things that the iPad can't do. All well and good, but we found that the quality of voice calls was average at best and the pictures taken on the 3megapixel camera to be not that great.
No bloatware. Inexpensive low-data plan. Carrier gets great subscriber ratings.
Expensive service plan for moderate data users. Questionable upgrade path with the 'Honeycomb' Android upgrade coming in 2011.
U.S. Cellular lives up to its friendly rep with a squeaky-clean version of the best Android tablet, but it charges pretty high rates for moderate-to-heavy data users. Buy it now...
Abstract: Over the holidays, friends and family assaulted the Maximum Tech editors with tablet questions. We mostly fielded softballs: “Is the iPad really deserving of all its hype?” Yes. We originally gave it an 8 verdict, but now with its new multitasking supp...
Very portable, Reasonably fast, Android is flexible and somewhat optimized, Dual cameras with reasonable quality, microSDHC card slot, Flash as an option, Great for optimized games,
Too close to a smartphone in size, Some OS elements, many apps not optimized for tablets, Slow, sometimes stuttery web browsing, Flash often a liability, not a help, Slightly awkward button layout, Expensive versus an iPad for what you get.
With a retail price of $599 off-contract, the Galaxy Tab is $30 less than the comparable 16GB iPad, but we're not sure it's automatically a bargain. We’re really disappointed with the web browsing, Flash and video chat performance of the Tab and we’re ...
Abstract: Competing with Apple on quality, elegance, and innovation is nearly always a losing battle. By comparison, most products feel awkward and substandard. And so it is with the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch, Android 2.2-powered touch-based slate device.Th...
