7″ design is excellent
A great form factor for tablets
Hardware
Software and data is fast as can be
Excellent battery life
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

Great plan pricing for medium-to-heavy users. Custom app store has potential to showcase tablet-centric apps.
Still the best non-iPad tablet. Plans include Wi-Fi hotspots. Not much bloatware.

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

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
Fingerprint magnet
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.
Service plans aren't optimal. Still not enough apps.
Proprietary connection port
Screen doesn't support highdefinition video
Slow to recharge
No video chat support right now
Pricey up-front cost
Text messages not included in data plan
Sprint charges extra for mobile hotspot feature
Screen doesn't support high-definition video
Limited data plan options
Slower connection speeds than Verizon
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.
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
Some unintuitive features Look and Feel...
No USB port
Screen will attract fingerprints
No user-replaceable battery
Expensive
Especially without a contract. And who wants yet another phone contract?
Especially without a contract. And who
Not many standout features
Horrendous keyboard
Way too expensive for what it is
Sound quality
Poor battery life
Screen smudges too easily (like the iPad)
Poor Camera performances
Android not as polished and intuitive as iOS
Still missing Kick ass Apps.
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
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

Samsung's very first tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, is surely a device with its own philosophy. It is very compact and easy to carry around, and due to a healthy-sized 7" display, it is a great offering for casual users. It is still quite versatile th...

After spending the last couple of days with the Galaxy Tab, we can confidently say it's the best Android tablet on the market. Now, that's not saying much given the state of the Android competition, but we can also assuredly say that the Tab is the first ...
Gorgeous design, Fast performance, Very light, portable, Bright, beautiful display, MicroSD slot, Dual cameras, HDMI output
Prone to fingerprints, Odd combo key on keyboard, Limited onboard apps, No USB port
If the Apple iPad is a bit too big (and its features too limited) for you, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with this 7-inch media tablet's size, performance, and versatility. ...
Listen to Steve Jobs and you’d automatically discount the Galaxy Tab as simply too small for a tablet; the Apple CEO is convinced 9.7-inches is the optimal size for a usable slate. Our time with the Tab suggests otherwise. Its 7-inch display may offer...

No 4G, Skimpy tablet app selection, Shorter battery life than iPad, Mail program does not support Google Apps accounts
The first bona fide iPad alternative features a compact design, dual cameras, snappy performance, and a small but growing number of tablet-friendly apps.
Fast. Well built with a slick design. Runs almost all Android apps. Supports Adobe Flash 10.1.
Not enough tablet-centric software. Reflective screen. Slick back.
With solid, well-designed hardware, the Samsung Galaxy Tab for Sprint is the first viable Android-based competitor to the Apple iPad. But so far, it doesn't have apps that will compel you to buy one. ...
It's an interesting piece of hardware, but it can't live up to its potential if it mostly runs blown-out smartphone applications. It wants programs that make use of its resolution and which incorporate interface elements which wouldn't make sense on a...
Abstract: Ever since the first rumors about an Apple tablet started circulating around the blogosphere, we Android enthusiasts have been dying to see an Android tablet of equivalent caliber, and it seems like Samsung's new Galaxy Tab might just be the one.Unfort...

though, the most impressive aspect of the Tab is its size. It's thin enough to be sexy, which is only complemented by its glossy back cover. The 7-inch screen is incredibly hand-friendly. You can comfortably hold the screen with one hand, and typing on...
