Thanks to the kind folks at NTT Docomo, I was lucky enough to test the Galaxy Tab at the office and even bring it home with me for a few days.-First impression: Wicked cool.-After 5 days: it’s great, but it’s no iPad. I. Look and feel (9/10) : Straigh...
Kickass screen, Lightweight and portable, Flexibly and customizable OS, Great connectivity, Phone/video calls, Flash support, X.
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.
6/10): The Galaxy Tab is a sleek piece of technology and a serious contender for the iPad. The screen quality is exceptional, and the intuitive interface makes for a very pleasant user experience. With its relatively compact size it can be an excelle...

So, what does Tab do that a Galaxy S phone (or any Android or iPhone) doesn't do as well or that a laptop does better? Maybe video watching and, maybe, game playing. In other words, what does it do? What function does it create or improve upon? It can't b...

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.

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...

Yesterday, I was in line at my local Best Buy waiting to pay for my just-activated Samsung Galaxy Tab when my mother walked up from behind and said, “Oh, look! It's like a mini iPad.” It was then when I realized that reviewing this device would essent...
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...

The first Android-based tablet to hit the UK shelves is the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It's got a 7-inch screen, runs on Android 2.2, can make voice calls and has a pair of cameras for pictures and video calls. Is it an iPad beater? Or is it more of an oversized...
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...
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.
