Released last year, Samsung's Android-based Galaxy Tab is still the smallest around, with a screen of just 7in and an overall diagonal of just 8.5in. Not only is it lighter than Apple's equivalent-spec iPad 2 (at just 380g, it's a whopping 228g lighte...

It may now be selling for a far more palatable price, but £300 is still a lot to pay for an entry-level tablet still in the shadow of the iPad. That said, it's both easier to carry and more comfortable to use than Apple's tablets, though - Flash video...

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...
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.
Whether you'll like the Samsung Galaxy Tab or not depends purely on what you want in a tablet. If it's a device for both work and play, the Apple iPad – with its bigger onscreen keyboard, or the Dell Streak – with Bluetooth keyboard compatibility, are...
