Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 outshines and outsizes its smaller predecessor, the original seven-inch Galaxy Tab. At launch, the Galaxy 10.1 is billed as the thinnest tablet on the market, and with Android Honeycomb 3.1 the device is giving Apple's iPad 2 a run for the money. Wi-Fi only models with 16 GB of storage start at $500. Verizon's LTE 4G capable 16 GB Galaxy Tab 10.1 will run $630 without a service contract.

Website Reviews: 

"There's just no other way to say it: the iPad 2 finally has a real competitor. If Samsung could somehow undercut Apple by even $25 here, the choice would be obvious, but it's going to have a whale of a time convincing the masses that a Samsung device is superior to one Designed in California when prices are equal. That said, we'd still recommend the Tab 10.1 over the iPad 2 for heavy Gmail users and all-around fans of Android."

"Every millimeter, every gram counts, and in the Galaxy Tab 10.1, the math is beautiful.

More on this later. But even if it's exactly the same as the Xoom and every other Android Honeycomb in terms of power, performance, features—this is the new Android tablet to buy. Because it's the first one to feel right."

"The good: As thin as the iPad 2 and even lighter, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the sexiest Honeycomb tablet we've seen. Also, it has a 3-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front camera, and powerful dual speakers.

The bad: The lack of ports on the tablet will be a problem for some and the plastic back leaves it feeling less solid than the iPad 2."
