The editors didn't like

  • Android OS currently has no benefits for tablets
  • Makes it a glorified smartphone
  • Proprietary connector makes it feel like an iPad
  • But without any spare cables lying around
  • No WiFi only model
  • High prices on most carriers
  • 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
  • Proprietary Samsung port for charging
  • Mediocre camera on back
  • Flash-enabled
  • Slows browsing speeds
  • No Netflix Instant Watch

  • Heavy price tag at $599 requires data plan activation
  • Eats up data quickly.
  • No wifi only version available
  • 2GB monthly data cap
  • Slow connection speeds in NYC
  • No mobile hotspot feature
  • Right now
  • Verizon's custom app store is a dis-app-ster. No discounted two-year contract option. Less storage than T-Mobile's model.
  • High up-front price. Blocks non-Android Market apps. AT&T's own apps are subpar.
  • High upfront price. Blocks nonAndroid Market apps. AT&T's own apps are subpar.
  • 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.
  • Android OS not entirely tablet ready
  • Shorter than expected battery life
  • Yet another monthly fee (3G version)
  • This tablet lacks HD video recording capabilties.
  • No 4G
  • Skimpy tablet app selection
  • Shorter battery life than iPad
  • Mail program does not support Google Apps accounts
  • Not enough tablet-centric software. Reflective screen. Slick back.

  • Slow
  • Sometimes stuttery web browsing
  • Flash often a liability
  • Not a help
  • Slightly awkward button layout
  • Expensive versus an iPad for what you get.
  • Expensive service plan for moderate data users. Questionable upgrade path with the 'Honeycomb' Android upgrade coming in 2011.
  • Few tabletfriendly apps
  • No mini/microUSB port
  • No HD video recording
  • Music and movie player interfaces somewhat clunky
  • Occasional lags when scrolling

  • Not all apps scale to the screenLittle support from GoogleNo decent video calling software
  • Some stability concerns. Proprietary connector and cable (looks like an iPod port
  • But ain't). Battery is nonreplaceable
  • This Galaxy Tab is an Android 2.2 tablet living in an Android 3.0 world
  • And bigger and better tablets are priced in the same ballpark
  • 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

  • Video support, Android 2.2, microSD card slot, a fully-featured tablet, GPS, Flash video, landscape and portrait support in many native apps
  • No Micro-USB, Samsung's content offerings seem a little uninspiring, price, camera and video both a little weak, seems a little slow alongside smartphone brothers, All Share didn't work
  • In summary, the Samsung Galaxy Tab isn’t quite the Android tablet we want. It has some very nice features, but there is plenty to improve on at this price pointKey specs3 megapixels, 3.5mm jack, 3G, Android, Bluetooth, GPRS, GPS, GSM, HSDPA, Li-ion bat...

  • Lightweight and portable, Great build quality, Bright, colourful display, Support for loads of file formats, Front and rearfacing cameras, Works as a phone, Web browser supports Flash
  • Chunky, Not as slick as the iPad, Three separate app stores is just confusing
  • The Samsung Galaxy Tab isn't as slick or majestic as the iPad, but it's more nimble, more feature-packed and well suited to the requirements of the gentleman or lady about town. It's rough around a few of its edges, but it's a really impressive piece o...
