Weighing both the Samsung Galaxy Tab merits and shortcomings, it's a very impressive device. Never mind the fact that it is reminiscent of an extremely large phone (a comment also leveled at the iPad at its unveiling), it is Apple's most serious iPad competitor because it includes several options that Apple's tablet lacks. One-handed operation is chief among the Android tablet's advantages, thanks to its well thought-out dimensions and compact size and weight. read more | 80 | 5 | 142 |

There’s no denying that of all the pretenders to the iPad’s crown, the Galaxy Tab is effortlessly the most impressive. Although its operating system is based on software that was built for phones rather than tablets, it performs wonderfully, offering an entertainment experience that is a world apart from the comparatively tiny screen of your mobile handset. read more | 80 | 1 | 26 |

Easily the best thing unveiled at IFA, the Galaxy Tab has enough muscle to appeal to those who want more than just a media reader - and it multitasks from the box. read more | 80 | 1 | 33 |

So there you have it: the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a more portable iPad that’s better for media, but with less to distinguish itself from the larger smartphones out there, and a pricetag that’s no more appealing. read more | 80 | 1 | 57 |

Even if the Galaxy Tab is a hit, it seems unlikely that it'll get vast quantities of applications built for it alone. It's going to take multiple popular Android tablets before third-party Android tablet apps have a shot at being even vaguely competitive with the iPad. read more | 75 | 1 | 25 |

After spending the last couple of days with the Galaxy Tab, we can confidently say it's the best Android tablet on the market. Now, that's not saying much given the state of the Android competition, but we can also assuredly say that the Tab is the first true competitor to Apple's iPad. read more | 70 | 0 | 24 |

Overall, though, the most impressive aspect of the Tab is its size. It’s thin enough to be sexy, which is only complemented by its glossy back cover. The 7-inch screen is incredibly hand-friendly. You can comfortably hold the screen with one hand, and typing on the on-screen keyboard is ridiculously easy. The Tab could give iPad reason to worry. read more | 70 | 0 | 25 |

The Galaxy Tab is a beautiful product with features that will make iPad owners envious, but its in-between size and possible carrier commitments hold it back from broad appeal. read more | 70 | 0 | 28 |

We can't hide our disappointment in the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It had the potential to deliver a serious blow to Apple's iPad sales. But in truth, the Galaxy Tab is no match for the iPad. It's nowhere near as smooth, it's not as polished and remarkably, it's not even a match when it comes to value for money. read more | 60 | 0 | 26 |

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 great for reading, also makes it less suitable for writing judging from our experiences with the onscreen keyboard. read more | 60 | 0 | 34 |
