Well, now I have two 7" tablets.
I got the 64 GB because I need as much space as possible for hi-def .mkv files.
I will do a comparison of my 7" 3G t-mobile Galaxy Tab with my new Playbook pretty soon.
So far from playing around with it at Best Buy, the white on the Playbook looks brighter and whiter than the SGT, even when the SGT is set at maximum brightness and contrast.
Too bad there is no dedicated Playbook forum here at XDA so I will post my observation in this forum since I also have the SGT.
Did you turn off energy saving mode on your galaxy tab when you did the white comparison?

Actually, I have put away my SGT (with Overcome 1.4.5) and has been playing with the playbook constantly since I got it.
I really like it. I did read the engadget review before I bought it. I am not thinking of returning it.
The 64 GB Playbook is actually the most expensive tablet that I bought....even more expensive than my 3G/4G Xoom (bought it with 25% off coupon).
So now my 2 kids and my wife get to play with the ipad, Xoom, and SGT, while I get to play with Playbook.
You prefer the Playbook over the Xoom? Weird.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I'm thinking of getting one too, since I own two BlackBerries (though I still love my Tab to death).
I talked to a guy (who's not particularly computer savvy) who picked up a Playbook at Best Buy and played with it in the store. He hated it. He said that unless you have a BB, you can't get your mail, calendar or contacts on it and found it useless in that regard.

Then again http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/iphone-4-review/ and http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/10/htc-desire-s-review/ notice the price differecnce http://www.expansys.com/htc-desire-s-209276/ and http://www.expansys.com/apple-iphone-4-16gb-uk-black-200797/ - double the price for 1 more mark!
I am also a Tab owner that has now purchased a Playbook. I have tried out the Xoom, Ipad2, Playbook all for 2 weeks each and have decided that I like the Playbook best out of all three. It may not have lots of apps but the browser hands down beats the socks off of any other. I realized after a while I didn't even use any apps, only the browser for all my email, messaging and all my other needs. The hardware is amazing, portable and the screen is better than the Tab along with the battery life. I am still keeping my Tab for the odd game for my kids but as a business user, the Playbook is solid. I also have a Blackberry so the tether feature eliminates the need for a separate data plan.
I am not bashing the Tab in any way, I still love it and get a little angry every time I read the reviewers say it is a failed tablet.

I owned 4 tablets currently. The tablets that I have now are the ipad, the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab, the 3G Xoom, and my new 64 GB Playbook. So far I have been playing with my Playbook constantly and neglecting other tablets. In fact, I am letting my 5 year old son and my 7 year old daughter play with the SGT and the ipad.
I post a summary of my view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Vs. the Playbook here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046964
It is funny because of all the tablets, the Playbook has the least apps and games and yet currently I like it the most out of all 4 tablets.....and I don't even have any black berry phone.

What do you guys think? Will a 7' screen be enough? If I got one I would get wifi only so I can tether with my Epic. I wish it was SAMOLED.
Personally, I think a 7' screen is a bit overkill for a mobile device. That's just me though.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like the tab has anything on the epic at all other than screen size. It seems like a very introductory product that won't be anywhere near the level of the iPad (as much as I hate to say it). I'm sure if we give it another year there will be one that's better than the iPad.
personally, i am a "pocket guy" when it comes to phones. i dont do clips. the Epic is about as big as I'd get and still be able to pocket the sucker.
i just dont get devices like the Tab or the dell streak or whatever hitting that 5-7 inch mark and still marketing it as mobile as a phone. i feel like they're trying to copy apple and invent a new product, the ipad was a risk but its paying off, i feel like these other companies would do better to directly copy the ipad and make an even larger device like 9-10 inches, a true tablet. i'm not digging the phone/tablet crossovers, to me its too big to be a phone and too small to be a tablet and get FULL web browsing capability.
just my .02
If the wifi-only version price really is $500 that'll torpedo it right there considering the base wifi-only iPad is the same price. I love my Epic, but if I had to choose between those 2 I'd get the iPad. Put the wifi-only version of the Galaxy tab at $350 and then it makes more sense IMO.

But you wouldn't have access to all the paid apps on the android market that you purchased if you chose the ipad.
And the modding possibilities!
The Tab also lasts longer than a epic..battery wise. Its a great home multitasking utility. I would def use it as a ereader/movie player as well as automating some tasks in my home.

Regardless, if that's what you're looking for, the iPad is MUCH better. I'm a huge fan of Android & I dislike Apple but the tab is really the iPad's little brother. It just doesn't compare.

That doesn't make any sense. The Galaxy Tab is nothing like the iPad. If you wanna compare things compare the iPad to every other tablet that came before it. Comparing the Galaxy Tab is like comparing it to the Blackberry Playbook.

The Galaxy tab costs 600 dollars so no, it will probably fail.
Eh... if I were to get a tablet, it would probably be an iPad. I have android on my phone. I don't need a replicated device on a larger screen. I'd also have more games to play on the iPad which would be fun
I really want an android tablet. I dont need it to have cellular access because I'm never without my phone and I have wifi tether. I would like it to have a strong development community. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Any suggestions on the best wifi tab for the money? I was actually thinking of a nook color, since honeycomb has already been ported over, but I don't know what the long-term future for that is. Thoughts?
I have a nook its working out pretty well for me. But as investment down the long road most likely not.
I am hoping Google drops a nexus tablet so I can just have that bought outright

You have to determine your price range and what do you want out of the tablet. Me personally, I am going to get the Xoom WiFi edition. It's $600 BUT it's one hell of a tablet. The 3G/4G Xoom is $800. The ONLY difference between the WiFi version and the 3G/4G version is the cell radio. The specs are below.

Id say dont settle for anything less than dual core and Android 3.0...it will be worth the money and the wait. If money is > longevity...than current smasung tabs will probably be available for much less when newer ones arive.

That is true. the TF is a great tablet and it is cheaper than the other two. A buddy of mine picked up the ViewSonic gTablet. I was impressed considering how cheap it was. I had it rooted for him within 5 minutes, and now he loves it more.
Right well I didn't buy my 10.1. I won it. Actually I won the G-Slate from T-Mobile. They sent me $750 worth of gift cards, so I upgraded to the tab. From what I could see in owner reviews, I think it was the better choice. If I was to go out and buy one, I would have purchased the transformer prime.

So NewEgg has a deal on the Galaxy tab currently (30 dollars off plus 50 dollar gift card) and was wondering if it is still something worth buying. Considering the progress made with HC as is, I can only expect it to get better if/when Google releases source.
For the price, is it still something you would buy today?
I just bought mine a couple of weeks ago and have no complaints. It gets used way more than my Asus Transformer does. I love the 7" screen, perfect size for me.

Exactly. Try reading a book with a 10" device always seem to need two hands. Typing with both thumbs on the Tab vs finger pecking on the transformer. The size of the 7" is perfect for me.

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
its worth buying if you can get a deal.
As mentioned above 7" is a major bonus. By implication though it means you really want 3G as well. When I was contracting (and hence moving around, taking a lot of different public transport routes etc.) it was an awesome travel companion. It also makes it a great ereader in a pinch.
Custom ROM it and performance is pretty good, esp. as Samsung's browser is hardware accelerated.
If its going to be sitting on your coffee table w/ wifi though, or the price is comparable to a 'current' honeycomb Tegra 2 10" slab, I'd go honeycomb/dual core. There's not much of an upgrade path for it, honeycomb is going to be an unofficial port (if at all?)
I got mine at a knockdown price and really like it. However I still wouldn't have paid RRP for it (by the same token I'm not paying RRP for transformer etc. or even ipad so duh)

Agreed... pretty easy to find on ebay or CL for $250 or less... picking up another one tomorrow for $200... Almost as good a deal as the HP TP and a lot more clarity about its future, apps, upgradability, etc.
It's still a great device. Is it the newest and latest? Nope. Will it run tons of great apps and be a solid performer for most of your uses? Sure! Now is also the time to snap up cheap discounted cases and other accessories for the 7".
I flashed the Overcome ROM on mine after I was tired of waiting on T-Mobile for the 2.3 update. That's a great ROM. Super battery life, video calling (with FFC working great) via Google Talk, excellent ebook reader, calls over Google Voice with Groove IP, etc etc.
I say this even though I also have the Galaxy 10.1. That's for lazy home use. I can take the 7" with me just about everywhere.

funny, I have the same mindset/usage pattern between my Galaxy Tab and my iPad...
I been hearing great things about the SGS2 so I set aside the cash for it and yesterday went to get it but came back without making the purchase.
When I held it in my hands I just couldnt figure out how the puny screen could be any better than my SGT. Battery life is similar, I can run similar or same applications and both can do depending on what I install from the market. With the custom ROMs my SGT OS is probably higher version, less buggy and smoother than what I would get on the SGS2. Yea there might be some new high tech capabilities but do I need it. Most likely not and at this time don't even know what they are.
So I gave up the idea of going smaller than the 7". Quite a while back I kicked the idea of going bigger than 7". I can still put my SGT in my back pocket or my jacket breast pocket and cary it with me anywhere. Try doing that with anything biger than 7".
For me there is absolutely no good reason to go for anything else for a while.
Yep, still worth buying.

Definitely worth buying. Look at my signature of what I have had and look at which tab is still standing. The 7" form factor is the best. Not to mention this thing plays any video I've thrown at it. Such was not the case for the others tabs.

If I get one it's probably going to be the asus eepad or the acer iconia, just because they're the cheapest 10" honeycomb tablets. I'm still hoping for touchpads to come back in stock though........
I'm waiting to see what comes with Ice cream sandwich and how it changes things.

Just looked at that one on ebay, but looks like they put some kind of crappy skin on it. I'm hoping that you can flash that off of there for stock honeycomb?

I want a 7 inch galaxy tab. Just need it for watching netflix and stuff like that. More expensive tabs arent worth the money imo...

I like the 10.1" Galaxy Tab but its too thin for me. People seem to go with the thinnest out there to show off but I want one that doesn't feel that I could snap it in half, like the Toshiba one.

I have the Toshiba tablet. I bought it for the ports and sd card slot. Yes it's thick but it feels fine. The new version will also have the same ports but is about half as thick.

Outside of watching video on Netflix in bed because I don't want to move my XB360 into the bedroom, I don't see a reason to even look at a tablet, TBH. They're overhyped devices that don't offer much more than Smartphones in a more restrictive form-factor. That's the only reason I'm thinking about it, and that's why the crappy 1st gen Samsung Tab would be more than good enough for me.
I don't trust those cheaper brand, TBH...
I wonder if the Blackberry Playbook has a Netflix App...

Not sure if it will be on a tablet by then but I would think if the Prime is supposed to come out then I wouldn't be surprised to see a tablet came out around then. If I had to buy one now I would get the Asus transformer. I really like the idea of the keyboard dock.

I'm kinda leaning that way for those reasons and the removable (and replaceable by user) battery.

Funny cuz the main reason I want one is cuz I like watching Netflix or Hulu in bed b4 crashing out for the night since its the only time in the day (or night) I get to watch anything. My HP laptop 19" is nice but it thinks its also a toaster oven and my Vibrant is nice but I want a lil more screen size

Pretty much the same for me. Maybe I'll look into a 11.6" notebook and get a cooling pad for it. That may be cheaper than a tablet, even... And certainly more useful.

True.. and cooler than a big one but wtf lets be honest...I just want one
i already have a gslate, if i knew the galaxy tab was coming to tmo, i would've waited.. Gslate's bootloader is locked.. Blecchh.. Samsung have the decency to not to lock their devices.
It's like lg thinks gslate users are dummies or something.. Lol
No, it's like LG and T-Mobile don't want to blow their cash on unnecessary support to customers who brick their phones and then lie about it.
