I mean, the transformer is coming out with a dock at the same price everywhere.
Don't you think that gtab10.1 sales are doomed unless samsung comes up with a keyboard dock like the transformer one ?
I fear that when asus will start their ad campains people will only retain "ANDROID tablet = also a laptop" in their heads. I feel for samsung if the gtab 10.1 fails again like the original galaxytab because of simply that.
Especially after the charming overhaul of the design. An aluminium keyboard dock with usb/hdmi and sd ports in it would be kick ass even if it's sold 200$.
It isn't worth it at $200.
The 64gb 3g version will cost around MSRP $800 plus another $200 for the kb makes it a $1000 investment.
Compared to $700-800 for Asus with keyboard and 64gb 3g and everything the same plus usb port, makes it in favor of the Asus.
Samsung will fail if the keyboard crosses $100, at least on that front.
Asus kb is for $125 in Taiwan and 60 pounds in UK and about 60 or so euros in Europe. Only US is expensive with $100-150.
And they need to come up with a wireless keyboard and I am sure they will!
Not at all. I personally don't think the Asus Transformer will only appeal to a very narrow demographic. While it is a great piece of hardware, it is far too "geeky" for the average consumer.
Samsung is already a mainstream brand having sold zillions of TVs and other home appliances over many years.
The Tab also has a more sleek design which has the potential to sway many would-be iPad buyers.
Also, I wouldn't say the original Tab was a failure. It might not have made mega bucks for Samsung but it had a big impact on the Android tablet market as a whole. It made people sit up and take notice of the future potential of Android as an alternative to the iPad.

Exactly what makes the Transformer geeky?
I feel as if the Transformer should have came with the keyboard... not bought separately. I thought that was the entire point of buying the thing. And no, I don't believe ASUS's giant-bezel tablet will hurt the Tabs. Samsung is an advertising behemoth with brand recognition and lovely hardware design. Also don't forget about TouchWiz, they've made Honeycomb's Tron esque look much more colorful and less
dark, which believe it or not people will adore.
Transformer is going to be heavy and thick. I doubt the thinner, lighter Tab will have a problem other than competing price point.
Not all people would like the dock
Me, for example. I don't like it at all.
I prefer thin and light device.
No dock for me either. The 10.1 is perfect

I'll definitely be getting the tab whether or not a dock is released. I don't think I'd use a dock that much but if they do release a dock for a fair price then I may consider it.

Dunno but the gtab10.1 is only about 70grams lighter and 4mm thinner than the transformer (and that's at the transformer's fattest point, since it's a curved back the transformer on the sides is pretty much as thin as the gtab).
I don’t want a dock, don’t need a keyboard just a thin/light device which is what the 10.1 is.
Even as a desk dock the transformer keyboard owns everything.
Also, when I read people saying "just want a light & thin device" I wonder if you ever even tried to watch a several minute long video while holding a tablet in front of you. Good luck with "light" lol, I don't think light comes off as an argument preventing usage exhaustion unless it's something like a 300g tablet or less.

Yet, I'm guessing that docks like the Atrix Dock and the transformer dock will become common. So if there will be one for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, why not get that so you can have a THIN laptop/tablet thing?

I agree. If Samsung release a keyboard dock (which is more than likely since the 7" Tab had one), then it owns the Transformer hands down.
It seems ASUS has accomplished their goal. They adding a nice little gimmick that makes people consider their tablet over the competitors. Then again... it is just a dock. Any manufacture can make one. Even little third-party companies make them~
Or if you don't mind, you could buy a lovely bluetooth keyboard.
Yea but samsung third party accessories are slow as hell to come out, and the official ones are expensive (100+$ for just a former gtab keyboard dock station with no extra battery!!), and the gtab dock will never have an extra 8hour battery in it like the transformer does Frankly the only thing holding me on the transformer is the PLS screen and black&chrome design of the gtab, I don't like much the copper color of the transformer but with it's dock in the reviews its rather sexy.
I guess I'll just buy the transformer now and give it to my girlfriend to get a gtab once some good dock with hdmi and usb ports (big minus there on gtab) will be available. The gtab official bookcover looks wicked tho http://www.tabletdigger.com/gt/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/bookcover.jpg
Also, it is okay to wait for a gtab dock but the transformer actually have a KEYBOARD dock... pretty different from normal dock and the battery... samsung never gonna get something close to that (mean price wise, etc) and perfect if the transformer only get in the hands of "geeks" so that way all developpers, etc will make awesome apps/dev for this device
I have a transformer on order. But I don't really care about the keyboard. I could see the appeal if someone were buying this as their only device, or maybe even their only portable device. But I have a notebook if I need to use a keyboard. If it were $50, I might buy it, but not at $120+, because I'm mostly interested in the tablet functionality. Honestly, I'd prefer the better screen and slimmer design of the Samsung, but the Samsung is 25% more expensive. I just don't think it's wise to pay much of a premium at this stage of the tablet market. There will likely be something twice as good for similar $$ next year. In the mean time, I'll either figure out I didn't really need a tablet after all, or I'll like it, and get something better when the options go up and the prices come down.

IMHO, a KB dock alone isn't going to own a TF101. It needs to have USB ports, SDHC/SDXC slot or more to own a TF101.

Your overestimating the masses. People go gaga for slim devices, IMO it's a total scam. I know so many people swho bought the iPad2 because it was thin. You can bet that Sammy will advertise the HELL out of the fact that it's thinner than the iPad2
I returned my Transformer and am waiting for the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
One of the pros for the Transformer is the docking station and it's really sweet how well it seems to work together.
But I have a few small complaints about the Transformer and the Galaxy Tab has a few of it's own pros, that I think the Galaxy Tab will do very well.
First with the Transformer.
The speakers kinda suck and aren't positioned very well. Not sure of the sound quality on the Galaxy Tab speakers, but I can't imagine it would be worse and I like the positioning better.
The Transformer's back get warm and the textured plastic doesn't offer much grip when your hand starts getting a little moist. It appears the Galaxy Tab will have a better no slip back.
The glass on the Transformer is really thin and a little too flexible. I can see it bending without applying much pressure. Hoping the Galaxy Tab has better glass.
The bezel on the Transformer is too dang big. Sure the Xoom over did it by making their bezel too small, but ASUS went too far in the other direction. Galaxy Tab looks like the perfect middle.
The Transformer just feel a little on the cheap side after the iPad and Xoom tablets I owned. I won't know until I have it in my hand, but I get the impression the Galaxy Tab will have a firmer more quality feel to it.
The weight is really big. People see the 85 gram weight difference between the Transformer and Galaxy Tab and think it won't mean much. But 50 grams separated the Transformer from the Xoom and I really noticed that difference. I can only imagine the Galaxy Tab is going to feel like a feather compared to the Transformer.
Most of these things are small nit-picking. But enough of them have added up that I think I need to wait on the Galaxy Tab. The cool docking station just isn't enough. Though the lack of a micro SD slot is kinda chaffing me, but I think even that might not be enough to scare me away from the Galaxy Tab.
Do you have a tablet that you are on the fence about and thinking of returning it for the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 (US model)
Maybe your tablet has more ports or a keyboard dock or Google's baby(xoom) for updates.
I'd rather have a transformer but I think I'll stick with my galaxy tab anyway
I may return my Xoom for one of these. Depends on the reviews when they're released.

I took my Blackberry Playbook back to BestBuy today. I was actual really impressed with the Playbook. However, I feel Android is going to be the future of Tabs, and that the 8.9 would be a better every day use, portable form factor.
I managed to procure a Google IO 10.1 which will be here Monday. Really looking forward to these tablets!
Returning my Xoom for it

My xoom.. Motorola's handling of software upgrades (canada gets sd card functionality, but nothng for the us) is a joke, the screen is marginal and it is uncomfortable to hold on long flights.
Ultimately, my xoom bricked itself and never turned back on.. Thank goodness for costco's return policy.
My G-slate already went back. Eventhough I got it for $430 with no contract...
I might try the acer w500, people are saying it handles 1080p pretty well, this doesnt, also lack of expandable memory is a killer, although 3g is the only reason ill keep it for a while at least.
A nook color I'd prefer a slate that was meant to run honeycomb.
I'm not really returning it, just giving it to my friend.
I returned my Transformer. It was kinda tough, because I really will miss the microSD, micro USB, and mini HDMI ports on the tablet, plus the ability to use the most sweet keyboard dock ever.
I'm sacrificing a lot for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. But the Transformer did seem to have a lot of small annoyances too. Back was slippery. Glass was very thin. Tablet creaked a bit. Bezel was ugly. Felt a little cheap.
I'm going with the Galaxy Tab because it's lighter, something I value a lot in a 10 inch tablet, even small weight differences become noticeable over time.
The Galaxy Tab just looks a lot better. I don't mind admitting I care about the appearance of my tablet. Galaxy Tab looks sleek and elegant. Transformer looked quite ugly in my eyes with it's sharp angles and extra wide aluminum bezel.
Hoping the glass on the Galaxy Tab is thicker. I could push on the Transformer glass and easily see it bending like it was some cheap resistive display. Nothing like my iPad that doesn't bend at all.
I did the same thing,now I hope the GT10.1 will not disappoint me.

If you thought the back if the Transformer was slippery, then you're probably in for a surprise with the GTab. Personally, I'm not sure if I'll get the GTab or keep my Transformer.

I'm basing that off of owners who have posted in forums, not reviews. Moreover, I'm not really aware of any tablet review that's ever gone into how slippery the back of the tablet was.

I was about to buy an acer iconia a500, but decided to wait for this one. I was worried about samsung forcing the touchwiz ui on top of it, but since I heard it is going to be optional I am gonna go with this for the size.

Samsung says they put an easy grip material on the back to keep the tablet from slipping.
Though looking at the back of the Google IO tablets, they look different and may not have the easy grip material, and instead got the Android tiles. So maybe the final retail Galaxy Tab will be better.
I returned an a500 yesterday to wait for this tablet to come out. Don't fail me now samsung
Returned my transformer. Many annoying problems that were mostly solved by rebooting, but once the touch screen died I just returned it to newegg.
Also returned the tf after my screen stopped responding to touch. Will be picking up the tab come June 8th
I'm really surprised with myself and I'm sure I've been shunned away from the A500 forums, but I too returned my A500 for the 10.1.
I've been a huge fan of Samsung products and I didn't want to change now. I enjoyed my A500, but I feel like the online community and manufacture support will be better with this.
I hate waiting until the 8th of June for it, but I'm willing to do it for a sleeker, thinner, lighter model. I'm a professional firefighter and I hated taking my 17" laptop to work with me for 24 hours. I was originally going to purchase the Xoom, but the price made it not worth it for me. The A500 was perfect, but again, I feel like I will gain so much more here. The HDMI, USB, and MicroSD did absolutely nothing for me. I was surprised how little I used it. I never even used the MicroSD slot.
Anyways, like everyone else on here, I'm hoping that in the end this will be a good decision.
I realize this is the 10.1 forum, but it seems like the best place to ask... any news?
I found this today which doesn't sound good:

Samsung Electronics Applies Two Different Touch Screens to Galaxy Tab 8.9
2011/06/09 By Lee Hyeong-soo
Samsung Electronics is finding itself in a dilemma concerning its super-slim tablet PC, the Galaxy Tab 8.9, made rather in a hurry to catch up with Apple’s i-Pad2.
The product succeeded in becoming the world’s slimmest smart pad, as thin as 8.6mm, thanks to the touch screen integrated with tempered glass called G1F. The thickness of i-Pad2 is 8.8mm. Nevertheless, Samsung is having difficulty actually putting it on the market owing to the low process yield ratios of its key components. If this situation goes on, the electronics giant’s plan to sell 10 million units of tablet PCs this year might be affected, too.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 incorporates both the G1F and GFF (glass fiber filter) technologies. Earlier, Samsung was intending to select two local panel makers and kick off the manufacturing of the new tablet PC from late this month. However, the yield problem arose, resulting in some shortage of components. The corporation had to take drastic measures, bringing in two GFF panel manufacturers additionally. In short, the same tablet PC model takes two different types of touch screens.
A GFF-type touch panel is 30% to 40% thicker than its G1F counterpart. Moreover, the former’s light transmittance is lower than the latter’s, which means the display performance is poorer. “There is nothing certain about the specifications of the 8.9-inch version of the product with the 10.1-inch model having yet to hit the market,” said Samsung.

No it doesn't sound good. When I Samsung announced the new 10.1 and 8.9 back at CTIA, I did actually wonder whether they were too ambitious with designing the tablets. In the back of my mind was that Samsung created those designs without being 100% how they were going to fit all the components into it. The main motivation to show those were due to competition against iPad2. While both the 8.9 and the 10.1 look damn sexy compared to the competition, I really think they have been rushed as this news article implies.
News of glass coming away from the screen on the Google IO 10.1 devices is also another sign that the devices were rushed. I think I'll wait a month or two after release for things to settle down and for other early adopters to be Samsung's "mass user testing team"
I'm sure there'll be some indication on the box via barcodes, SKU etc to work out which 8.9 version people will be getting so it's not a big deal but I've got my eye on the 10.1 so hopefully not affected by this.
Sigh... 8.9" version is all I want... =(
I was also leaning towards the 8.9 but then I saw the 10.1 at the event in NY and the screen was just right.
Sure the 8.9 might be even more portable but the 10.1 is slim and light enough.
All we know about the 8.9 is that it passed the FCC so it can't be too far away.
However, being that the 10.1 is delayed, I am sure they want to make sure that every store + Verizon is selling the 10.1 before launching a new product into the market.
If they would launch together people would buy either one. If they wait a bit they create a buzz for both.
Very disappointing to read. However since I'm on my fifth (!!) Samsung Captivate, I know all-too-well the company's ongoing issues with rushed hardware and quality control. GPS-gate, anyone?
Granted, even the mighty iPad2 is plagued with backlight bleed issues (traced to panel provider, LG) but if this article is true, and Samsung is speeding through a panel manufacturer selection process, I will *not* buy something that was tossed together with questionable quality control. The Asus Transformer's dust under-the-screen issue is a perfect example of poor QC. Same for the Google I/O GTab 10.1 with its lifting screen. At these $500+ price points, I think it's laughable these make it out of the gate with so many problems. (If the Xoom didn't leave me unimpressed with its tepid screen, I'd have stuck with it, as its build quality was otherwise exceptional.)
The more I read about this Tab 8.9 the more I want it.
This thread is a bit of a bummer if it's true but in the mean while have a look at what GSM Arena have put up.
Definitely put a smile on my face, just got to play the waiting game now

The video looks pretty slick too and I think as of late Samsung have been pretty good with pushing out updates of it's newer models like the Galaxy S2 so I'm hoping any newer updates will come quickly to this lil guy....that being said, it will be another story when Ice Cream Sandwich rolls around.
Yes, I was really looking forward to the 8.9 myself. I had originally grabbed a 32gb Transformer, but was totally turned off by the build quality. I had pretty much every issue mentioned.. light bleed from all sides, screen not sealed all the way around, creaky, dead pixels... I sent that back and grabbed a Xoom from Costco hoping that the 8.9 would arrive before my 90 day return window closed.
The Xoom has 0 build issues and is actually one of the sturdiest electronic devices I've held in awhile... it's a bit big though for my liking. I think the screen is just a little too long in portrait and it's annoying to hold while reading in bed. The weight doesn't feel spread out either. Anyway, that's why I wanted to try the 8.9. The 7" tabs just feel like large phones to me and this seems like a great middle ground.
Hopefully, we hear something soon from Samsung.

I came from a Tab 7" to a Xoom, and had the same "reading in bed" issues as well. Bought a Tab 10.1, and all that went away...smoother corners, better weight distribution, much less weight overall, and a better display. I read for hours at a time on the couch, in bed, in the "reading room", etc.
Glad I didn't hold out for the 8.9 three months ago...three months is a long time, and I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the 10.1 since then. Doubt I'll ever switch to the 8.9 at this point.
I will be buying the Tab 7.7 just as soon as it's released though...SAMOLED and Exynos in a slim 7" package is too good to pass up.

Same here. Held out for 8.9 too long. Just sold 7 inch tab and purchased 10.1 for 350. Will switch to 7.7 when it gets to 350 price.
I want to add that build quality of 7 inch SGT was excellent. Used it with overcome ROM and loved it.

For most people the cable that comes with it is enough as it does offer usb connectivity to a PC.
What people are talking about is the conntector on the tablet itself. You need an usb cable from samsung to be able to connect - it does not work with a standard usb cable (notice how broad the connector towards the tab is compared to a standard (micro) usb cable)...
Hype
Im just a bit puzzled about this tab, i'm really excited about this tab. But by googleing and searching forums I found that there's no hype? Why is there no hype about this tab?

Its because its still based on Tegra 2 which is basically very old news and soon to be obsolete. There are smartphones with more powerful chips than tegra 2.
Plus the fact that it's been delayed - it's not that different to the Tab 10.1, so most people will probably have gotten bored of waiting and just went for the larger model.

Ah, maybe so. I'm getting one. The resellers in Sweden is just starting to get them to their inventory.
just saw the 10.1 commercial and it made the tab look amazing. Can someone show me how to do all the cool stuff they showed off, cuz im not seeing it lol.
Just j/k for all panty bunchers(well sorta)
Anyone noticein the commercials the tablets seems to all have Samsung logo under the screen. Also that the people are effortlessly walking around holding the tab in landscape with one hand while browsing the web. This thing is lite but there's no way I can do it like the commercial it always wants to slide out of my hand.
Samsung Galaxy S III to get curved design? | Stuff magazine - http://goo.gl/Pkuqk
We*might not be getting a Samsung Galaxy S III at Mobile World Congressthis month but that hasn't stopped the (supposed) leaks coming thick and fast. Like this mystery handset snapped and shared on*Chinese site XDA*– could that be the Sammy lettering up top? And how comfortable would that S-shaped design actually be?Your guess is as good as ours as to whether we're looking at a*next-gen Sammy smartphone, let alone one we'll see in Summer 2012. But that doesn't stop us ogling the elongated 4.6in, curved form in the photo above.XDA also reckon the massive display will rock 3D – we'd like to see how that works on a bendy handset like the one pictured.Flexible phones? Yes please, but not for the foreseeable future we'd bet.
