The Samsung Galaxy Tab is the first Android tablet to hit the market that can offer a challenge to Apple’s iPad.
Here are some early reviews on the new tablet.
I received a few minutes with the Galaxy Tab at its launch event Thursday, and I was impressed with its performance. The hardware feels solid and comfortable to hold. The edges are a bit squarish, the corners are rounded, and the metal back is smooth. At just over a pound, it didn’t bend my wrist, at least in the short time I got to use it. – More at PC Mag
The first thing that jumps out about the Galaxy Tab is its manageable size. Not surprisingly, the front face is all screen, with four capacitive touch-sensitive buttons running along the bottom (or the left side, if you hold the device in landscape orientation). With a 7-inch display and a weight of 0.8 pound, the Galaxy Tab is small enough to fit into some tight spaces (such as a roomy pocket), light enough to hold with one hand, and large enough to provide satisfying viewing. I found the Galaxy Tab comfy to hold in one hand, unlike the Apple iPad, which at 1.5 pounds is just too heavy to grasp with a single hand for any length of time. – More at PC World
