I'm loving the 8.9-inch screen. It really feels like they've hit the sweet-spot
Size-wise. It's big enough that watching movies and playing games looks good
But it's small and light enough that it's super portable. I can fit it in my jacket pocket and w

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 packs the full Android Honeycomb tablet experience (soon upgradeable to Android 4.0)
Along with Samsung's useful customizations
Into a compact body

Lots of useful apps
The editors didn't like
Sluggish performance
Kinda expensive
No expandable storage
$50 less than the 10.1
LTE version is bundled with contract
The one thing that seems to have suffered for this size reduction is the audio. The speakers weren't great on the 10.1
But they sound even tinnier on the 8.9
Which is too bad. It employs the same rear camera as the 10.1 which isn't great. That said
You
Expensive
Lackluster cameras
Design
The Tab 8.9 is nearly identical to the larger version
Coming in at the same width (0.34 inches) but with a smaller 9.1 x 6.2-inch footprint. It still only has one connection port
The proprietary one on the bottom
Keyboard can feet cramped
Though it's fast and responsive
Camera is a step down in many ways from the Tab 10.1
App selection still lags the iPad
Not running Android 3.2
A bit too pricey
Tablet app selection in the Android marketplace is still limited
No social ports like USB or an SD card reader
No 3G/ 4G option.
Minimally cheaper than 10.11GHz chip soon to be outclassed
A bit pricey
No SD card slot
Android tablets are still short on tablet-specific apps
No HDMI out
No schedule for Android 3
2 upgrade
Like the Tab 10.1
Fewer ports and slots than most Android tablets
Lik
UI inconsistencies
Lack of apps
Subpar speakers
No useful inputs/ports
Less expensive than an iPad
But still too pricey
Still expensive
The lack of ports on the tablet will be a problem for some and the plastic back leaves the Tab 8.9 feeling less solid than the iPad 2
Little and lithe, good screen, very usable with TouchWiz, excellent for games and video
No HDMI, no 3G, ho-hum cameras, a few bugs
A lovely tablette that’s wandered out of its depth and ended up playing with the big boys. Fast, usable and stylish but just too expensive for what you get....
Abstract: Of course, the tin and light device is worthless without the software on it. As mentioned before, this is a Honeycomb tablet, but Samsung decided to overlay Honeycomb with TouchWiz. The end result actually works fairly well. The Samsung apps on the tablet...
Abstract: Where Apple spent years carefully giving birth to a single iPad , Samsung 's Galaxy Tab family is expanding with all the thought and consideration of a hutch full of bunnies. The latest tablet to pop into life is the mid-sized Galaxy Tab 8.9, a slim wides...

Packs full Android Honeycomb tablet experience, along with Samsung's useful customizations, into a compact body.
Lack of ports; plastic back makes it less solid than the iPad 2.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is everything we loved about the Tab 10.1 in a slightly smaller form, with a slightly smaller price. ...
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 may well be the perfect size for a tablet. Although it's missing the ports and memory-card slot of the Xoom, we think it may be a worthwhile sacrifice to enable the device to be so light. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 looks set to ...
