Samsung Galaxy Tab review

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has attracted a lot of attention as the first serious challenger to the Apple iPad, but can it cut the mustard?

Samsung Galaxy Tab review

It's a sharp-looking product that does much right, but Samsung's swish Galaxy Tab can be beaten by smaller and larger options

3G and wi-fi as standard ; packed with features ; decent earbuds ; easy to pocket/hold

Reflective screen ; lack of HD apps/downloads ; 3G restrictions ; tough competition

Does much, but can be beaten for music and video by smaller and larger options

Samsung Galaxy Tab review

The combination of Android and Samsung's hardware makes this tablet at least as good as the iPad, but the relatively high price could be hard to swallow.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Review

The iPad now has big competition. Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablet computer is hitting the marketplace with a big bang.

More portable than previous competitors ; Great screen

Identity issues

The Galaxy Tab is really the first viable competitor to Apple's iPad that offers many advantages of its own, even if in a still foggy market

Samsung Galaxy Tab review

A whole horde of -based tablets were announced following the successful launch of the Apple iPad. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is not only the first of these Android tablets to actually go on sale, but it's also one of the most hyped and eagerly awaited...

Lightweight; broad video file format playback; generally comfortable keyboard; battery life

Sluggish interface; incomplete or frustrating-to-use software features; no USB or HDMI ports

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a lot like Christmas. After all the anticipation, in reality it’s a bit of a let down. Although the Tab is a sturdy, slender, lightweight and attractive tablet, it could be easier to hold. The Tab’s small size, which makes it...

Samsung Galaxy Tab

After the success of the Galaxy S smartphone, Samsung are venturing into the tablet market and hoping to win over potential tablet buyers with their very own adaptation.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab could be the iPad killer thanks to its array of specifications and features

The tablet market is certainly uncharted territory for Samsung where as other iPad rivals such as the HP Slate and the Samsung Galaxy Tab have some experience of the laptop domain

The Samsung Galaxy Tab could very well end the reign of the iPad as it offers alot that the iPad simply does not. However, if its truly wanting to retain its crown it will have to be the top of the pops as the tablet industry is in for a ride.
