Am I the only one tat disagrees with this? I really wanted to like the Galaxy Tab that I got from Google I/O and at first glance it was awesome, but after actually using it during a complete day I noticed several, extremely annoying software-related problems; The gmail app stopped accepting scrolling events, I had to reboot the tablet several times and the OpenGL drivers were, let me say this, pure crap. As far as the Samsung Series 9, a pure spec to spec comparisson without seeing the system from a holistic point of view (software + hardware) is a must in this consumer market. We are not in 1997 anymore, having to put a paperclip through a pinhole to make the power management work should be considered a FAIL for the entire system, sorry.

- ben1040 15y agoHave you upgraded the tablet to 3.1 yet? The upgrade became available for I/O tablets as of last Friday. I had the same issues you talk about with mine, specifically the Gmail scrolling issues and some really infuriating rendering & touch event bugs in the browser. But that seems to be an issue with whatever cobbled together version of Android 3.0 that was on the pre-release devices. The difference under 3.1 is like night and day in terms of stability. I find the device extremely usable now and I enjoy it more than I do my iPad.
