Is the 10.1 lookalike Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 any match for the Apple iPad 2?
Gorgeous clear screen ; Light ; portable design ; Touchwiz 4.0
Price ; No HDMI ; USB ports ; Poor sound performance
Expert review by : John Brandon (techradar.com)
An amazing hand-sized tablet that almost beats its big brother
Bright clear screen ; Good bundled apps ; Good battery life ; Light and thin ; Fast processor
Not as many business apps ; Smaller screen for movies ; High price ; No built-in USB or HDMI ports ; Some muddy movie playback
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is one of the best tablets yet released.
Expert review by : Mark Harris (pocket-lint.com)
It's time to reboot the tablet. Right now, the same word applies to everything from 6-inch jumped-up ebook readers to hulking great 10-inch slabs of glass. Pocket-lint is drawing a line in the sand: everything 9-inches and up is a tablet, everything...
Little and lithe, good screen, very usable with TouchWiz, excellent for games and video
No HDMI, no 3G, ho-hum cameras, a few bugs
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is impossible to dislike. Unlike some Honeycomb tablets (or tablettes even), it doesn’t make a virtue out of being confusing or crashing randomly. It’s well made, light and extremely portable, with a screen that’s big enough...

We were teased about its coming and now the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is here. Well almost. While Samsung hasn't put a launch date on the new device other

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...
Expert review by : PC Advisor staff (techadvisor.co.uk)
The first thing that strikes you about the Galaxy Tab 8.9, isn't the screen size but just how thin it is. The company claims that it's the world's thinnest tablet and at 8.6mm thick it's about 0.2mm thinner than the Apple iPad 2.
Samsung's latest tablet takes the company into yet another screen size territory – that of 8.9in. And it's this size of screen that could be the dark horse in the tablet arena as it gives you greater space than 7in tablets yet is more portable than...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G review: Australia's first 4G tablet is handy, but no world beater
4G connectivity ; Excellent size and weight ; Good build quality
4G coverage currently limited ; Sluggish performance ; Too expensive
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G is Australia's first 4G tablet, offering impressive data speeds and a size and weight that we think is near perfect. However, Telstra's currently limited 4G coverage, a high price tag and some niggling software issues mean...

Hot on the heels of the Galaxy Tab 10.1v, which is hitting Vodafone stores in Australia next month, Samsung has added two new Android tablets to its a...
8.6mm thick, weighs just 470g, dual-core processor, Android 3.0 Honeycomb with TouchWiz UX overlay
Not available until Q3, no word on pricing or carrier availability
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has an 8.9in capacitive touchscreen and at just 8.6mm thick, it is described by Samsung as 'the world's thinnest mobile tablet'.
Expert review by (engadget.com)
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 8.9 is a little smaller, a little lighter and a little cheaper than the 10.1, but it's also a little bit better.
Expert review by : GSMArena team (gsmarena.com)
By losing an inch of screen diagonal and reducing the weight to something you might actually be able to hold longer than 5 minutes, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 hopes to convert more people to the tablet cause. Those who found the 7” Galaxy Tab too limiting and...
