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
Lightweight and easy to pick up on the way out of the door; still big enough to not feel constrained; good battery life, (very) bright screen; TouchWiz works and looks well on tablet form; easy to type on; very nice build quality; expandable memory; very loud speaker; great for navigation.
Proprietary Samsung port for charging; mediocre camera on back; flash-enabled, slows browsing speeds; no Netflix Instant Watch; fingerprint magnet; heavy price tag at $599 requires data plan activation; eats up data quickly.
Let me start this by saying the Galaxy Tab is not a necessity, it's a luxury item that can be very useful. I've tried three or four different tablets now and the Tab is the perfect one for me. Is it for everyone? Definitely not. It hits the sweet sp...
Abstract: It is the end of 2010, and Samsung has just outed its first tablet computer, the Galaxy Tab. Its purpose, apart from making lots of money for the company, is to compete with Apple's groundbreaking iPad - a product that managed to single-handedly initia...

It’s nice to see another tablet hitting the market to take on Apple’s iPad. And while the Samsung Galaxy Tab does have some unique features when you compare it to Apple’s “magical device” it also has its share of issues. Most notably being the web brow...

Ok, Mactards. Come on back now. Let's close this thing up. Our esteemed friends at Giz found this to be a train wreck but I don't agree. This device is what it is: a small, fairly powerful tablet for Android lovers. I'd love to play to my own bias and sta...
Manageable size is conducive for onehanded use, WiFi sharing included in TMobile's monthly plan, Has a MicroSD Card slot, Brilliant, bright screen,
Proprietary connection port, Screen doesn't support highdefinition video, Slow to recharge,
The Galaxy Tab is a compact and solidly designed Android tablet. Its cost seems pricey when you factor in the monthly data plan, but T-Mobile allows you to use the Tab as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot at no extra charge. ...
