The only problems with these is the weak cpu even for the os and I have tried the x86 version which is tiny. Second is storage despite how small the os is and the app that are usually less than 1mb in size but multimedia content like movies that eat it up quickly. Then ram 128 to 256mb of ram is to small even for this os when one factors in apps so 512mb to 1gb would do wonders performance wise. The screen size and weight is just right for these tablets.

Like it or hate it, iPad is the most successful tablet device ever, and the market leader by an enormous margin. That fact alone means that all the me-too manufacturers are going to emulate their design. "Stick with what works" kind of a thing. Only once they've established themselves will they try and develop unique designs. Look a Lexus. When toyota first started the Lexus brand in the US, the cars were so boring, so bland, so unoriginal. They copied styling queues from their upmarket competition and didn't get very creative at all. Now that it's an established brand, they're developing their own identity and going their own way. Every industry does this.

Start out with 7 inches and slowly work your way up.

One unfortunate thing I heard is that at first, the Galaxy tab is coming out without the Super AMOLED display found in the Galaxy S phone. Instead it will be some crappy low quality display. Until that tab get the super AMOLED and Samsung definitely resolves their GPS issues, their smart phone and tablet phones are a no go.

Should have been available on day one!

 

[eddieroolz]

They should've planned this from the beginning!

Also, the "SAMSUNG" lettering is a bit distracting.

Much bigger than an iPad.cool.

Massive Borders...........they could cut them down a little to make them sleeker..... but 3 years is too much of a wait..... esp for a samsung.....

The apparent specs suck for something that's 2-3 years away, and it looks to long, the aspect ratio could use some tweaking

Bullshit. As they didn't invent tablets, all "Apple's design" comes down to is:

1) lack of expansion slots
2) draconian restrictions
3) being forced to used crippleware from Apple also on PC to connect to those things

I don't see much of that in devices by other manufacturers.
There is currently no good OS for them, as product is relatively new, and that's it.

Most of the tech savy customers don't even consider devices from Apple for obvious, never mentioned in reviews, reasons.

How do you stop it from falling out of your hands ? or any pad device from falling out of your hands?

PS> With the strong normal daily sunlight at the beach how can you see anything on this or a iPad ?
It is bad enough to see on crazy pumpkin day life news reporters saying Apple please fix the readability in normal outside env. for iPad.
Also my sun glasses gets scratched by sand somehow ending up on a cleanly washed tumble dried beach towel so how easily does this things / iPad screen gets scratched ?

Samsung is about to release one in +/-Jan 2011 where is this 2-3 years coming from ?
The one with the flexible super amoled screen, surely you guys read some tech websites and keep up with old tech news.

Every one of the manufacturers is waiting for "Android 3" tablet version not ( Android 3 "2.3 gingerbread rebranded" ) mobile phone edition.

Some other 10" examples:

Man I love it when news gets removed from the internet like the 10" Samsung tablet and it's release dates, who would have though Apple has so much power over Samsung and Apple's rebranded Samsung 10" "Apple 10inch iPad".

Viva no freedom of the press take down order crap.
Damn tired of having to "save page as" for each news article on a separate hd to prevent the lost news items.
