Well I'm definitely on the Android side of things, but never would I recommend buying the Galaxy Tab over the iPad. The iPad got accused of being just a bigger iPod Touch, but here they've literally just put a phone OS, which isn't even the latest anymore, on a bigger screen. On top of that it's also smaller and more expensive than the iPad.
Things will get interesting with the arrival of Android 3.0 tablets, but for now I'd rather stay away from the Galaxy Tab.
- TomOfTTB 16y agoI agree. The fact that they wouldn't or couldn't confirm Honeycomb would work on the Tab pretty much killed it for any informed consumer.
- NathanKP 16y agoThe galaxy tab is frankly quite terrible. I tried one out in the local T-mobile store and was surprised at how awkward it felt. The keyboard was rather inaccurate and it was hard to do basic things like change the URL in the browser. Overall the experience felt very non intuitive, even though the interface looked polished. Don't be deceived by the pretty screenshots, actually using the Galaxy tab is a pain.
- rberger909 16y agoThis product was doomed to fail because both sides of the tech spectrum are over looking it. Those with some tech knowledge know the Android OS it uses isn't meant for tablets. Those with Little to no tech knowledge know that the next iPad is coming out and they are looking past the Galaxy Tab. I know Samsung wanted to get in the market ASAP but a couple months wait would have helped them immensely.
