I went to Verizon the other day to get a cellular router so that I could work going down the road, as I seem to always be on the go lately. Anyway once I got there I found out that the Galaxy Tab can act as a router as well, so I picked it up. I was in the market for an Android tablet (I have kids that play on pbskids.org and disney.com, no flash = no tablet for my household). Anyway, after getting it and using it for a few days, I have to say I am firmly in the man camp of preferring Android, one of my biggest gripes with the iPhone is the lack of a physical keyboard on such a small device. I'm a big guy with broad fingers so it has always been a pain. After using the tab though, I came to realize that Android's voice interface is very mature. There are almost no commands that cannot be done by voice activation. That coupled with the fact that I can get an Android device with a side kick keyboard has pretty much sold me. Long story short, I am happy with the Tab and am starting to look at Verizon's phone selection as I am pretty sure that my next phone will be Android based. It's funny I have been writing apps for Android for a while now but I never owned an Android device until the Tab. IT is a lot different when you use a device for days compared to just picking one up to test your app. Also on a side not anyone looking at the Tab as an alternative to the iPad, I really like it and would recommend it. I have no agenda against the iPad I hope it does really well, I write apps for iOS as well. It is just the Tab has some features that are essential for my needs that are not filled by the iPad, the first being the ability to act as a wireless hub the second being flash games for kids. I was worried about going with an Android tablet given some of the press, but I was pleasantly surprised with how well put together the Tab is.
