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
Small, portable and well made, Easy to use, Good sound, Fast and responsive mostly, Great looking screen
Slight lag at many times, Proprietary connection, Didn’t get the rated battery life, Some apps don’t scale correctly, High price, Front camera not the greatest
So in my time with the Galaxy Tab I’ve come to like it a lot, too bad it’s a loaner and I don’t have an extra $600 to buy one. Yes the Tab is selling for a whopping $600 from Verizon and that’s not including service charges either.Don’t get me wrong i...
Abstract: The recent flood of Android tablets has been nothing less than astonishing. In the past months, we at Gadgetnutz have evaluated nearly a dozen different Android based models. Of those, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the first we’ve found to be a true compet...
Abstract: After the parade of vaporware and underwhelming tablet options that followed the iPad’s release, one company has finally stepped up to the plate and released what looks to be a worthy competitor to Steve Jobs’ self-proclaimed magical and revolutionary ...
Fits in an inside jacket pocket, 7-inch screen has perfect aspect ratio for widescreen movies, Android 2.2 Froyo OS, Long battery life, Snappy Web browsing
Poor 3.2 MP camera with no zoom, HD video recording, Little Android optimization for larger screen, No Wi-Fi-only versions available, Screen washes out at off angles, Proprietary dock connector instead of microUSB, Overpriced
Samsung's new Galaxy Tab challenges the iPad with a smaller, Android-powered design, but comes up short on value, and feels like a supersized phone without the phone. ...
Abstract: Tablets are seen in some many ways to become the future of mobile computing, and just like how we witnessed Android's rise to prominence last fall, we're beginning to see the same unraveling with Android powered tablets this season. Unexpectedly findin...

Nice display and form factor, great browsing experience, forward facing camera
Few tabletfriendly apps, no mini/microUSB port, no HD video recording
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is an Android 2.2 based tablet that features a large 7-inch display in an otherwise very smartphone like form factor. It runs all of the applications developed for Android smartphones, and it does so quickly thanks to a 1GHz pro...
Strong network connection, Good price over 2 years for light surfers, Long battery life, Free mobile hotspot, Attractive, textured back cover
No video chat support right now, Pricey up-front cost, Text messages not included in data plan
Verizon's version of this 7-inch Android tablet offers strong 3G performance, free mobile hotspot functionality, and an economical price over the long run.

Samsung's 7-inch Android tablet is a serious contender to the Apple iPad, boasting two cameras, Flash compatibility, and a more convenient size
The Tab behaves more like a supersize Android phone than a Netbook alternative. The Android OS and its apps aren't yet optimized for the larger screen. Depending on your plan, you may be in for a two-year contract and a commitment to monthly charges
The Galaxy Tab is a beautiful product with features that will make iPad owners envious, but its in-between size and possible carrier commitments hold it back from broad appeal.
Without voice call functionality – also absent from the iPad – the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab is a less rounded option than the European version. Still, that’s a limitation shared with all its North American counterparts, and T-Mobile does at least allow for...
