Samsung Galaxy Tab

[Bumpa STIKKA]

I can't wait!

Finally a gadget is coming that I want and will actually use...

Goodbye netbook!

[Jake_Sully]

Hmm I may get this too.

[Snick]

Wait

Android 3 will be available in a few months and it is much more suited to tablets than Android 2.2

[azza33]

Yes I saw that.... Interested as well

[Bumpa STIKKA]

The Samsung is upgradable to Android 3 so I'll go ahead.

2.2 has everything I want, anyway. A heap better than 2.1!

Looks great. An excellent choice, I think. I just ordered a Motorolla DroidX phone last week. With its 4.3" screen it will hopefully be a good step in this direction. Still waiting on Android 2.2 for the "X".

How much is it?

I'm hanging back for:

(a) the competition e.g. Toshiba announced their new device at an electronics fair in Berlin yesterday and rumours are that there are quite a few manufacturers waiting in the wings, so I hope that prices will fall a fair bit in the next four months and

(b) for the inevitable glitches to be ironed out on someone else's machine

But there again, I am a self confessed Luddite who never in a million years could be described as an ealy adoptor!

Prices not set yet, but I don't care.

I'll get one as fast as Snick got his iPad!

I'm a huge fan of Samsung products... so I won't be waiting for something that in my mind won't be as good... even if it IS just as good or better!

This little beauty seems to tick every box for me... can't wait to get my greasy fingerprints all over it!

I love the fact it has a phone built into it. Being smaller & able to fit into a jacket pocket, what are the chances of the Galaxy being the new must-have accessory?

Rather good I would think...

[Bumpa STIKKA]

I don't think that Samsung quite has the 'cool' factor of Apple... but it's not that far behind.

What it does have is features and more professional people will be inspired by this than they will have been by the iPad.

I'm a bit annoyed that the internal memory is only 32 gigs... but unlike the Apple iPad you can add another 32 gigs in the available memory slot. (STILL not enough though. I would like to have seen a 128 gig internal memory.)

The smaller size suits me better too. I can chuck that in my bumbag and take it every where... unlike the netbook which was a bit of a hassle.

The Galaxy Tab features a 30-pin dock connector on the bottom of the device; a volume rocker, power button, and microSD and SIM card slots on the right side. However, it's not clear if the U.S. version will include a SIM slot as rumors suggest the device may be headed to Verizon's CDMA network.

Would be a real shame for this not to have GSM 3G/Edge.

[BAM]

According to a report, Samsung has given the Tab a suggested retail price of $1,240 USD

Amazon has it on sale for $1239
