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.

You got served
Anyways I think 6 inch and 7.5 inches will be alright to keep it portable
I wasn't aware that a Wifi-only version would exist, either. I wonder how that affect Market status.
its sad i want one but what does it do that my phone cant?
same specs too right?

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.
I'll wait for 2nd Gen looks cool though, I'd love to have an android OS pad

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.

actuallu thinking about it it would make one hell of an xbmc remote...
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 wonder whether this tablet just made my Tab obsolete. Any clues?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Xoom is a completely different device. I do not see how it can obsolete SGT. They can coexist quite peacefully
I also own a Tab. I think it is just a smart phone with big screen. Samsung Apps are not helping much with that. Let's see what Honeycomb can do on 7" screen. When tab will still have android < 3.0 for months after XOOM coming out, XOOM will definitely be better tablet than Tab at least for a while.
I agree with above. I am very happy with my tab but after watching the xoom keynote I am already trying to figure out how to sell my tab and grab the xoom on release day lol. Honeycomb looks smoking!! Does anyone have any clue whether we will get honeycomb at all and whether it will have a similar ui as the xoom? Or will samsung ruin it with touchwiz?

don't get rid of the Tab just yet... if you wait for the Honeycomb update, you'll have the Xoom's little helper
after all, the Tab is still more portable.
Just hope that Samsung gets Honeycomb out for the tab better than they did the US Galaxy S devices...
I hear ya I don't think I could ever go with a ten inch. Now if the xoom had a 7 inch I would probably trade up. The only thing I hate about the tab is samsung and having to rely on them for updates. I have been waiting for an official update for my captivate forever. If it wasn't for this community I wouldn't even have froyo. What a joke.

Don't get me wrong. I liked the tab, it just felt EXACTLY the same as my fascinate does. And my fascinate sucks. I won't buy a Samsung no matter what ever ever ever ever ever I won't say it again but u get the point.

I hear ya but I have a captivate and love most everything about it except the gps and the fact that I have to rely on samsung for updates. If I never found xda and custom roms I probably would have sold it. But as fast as my tab goes I absolutely love it. It is everything I like about my captivate plus more. I got the car dock and I gotta say the portability is my favorite part I think the xoom is gonna be to hard for using it anywhere except college work and home. I have friends with the ipad that used it away from home for the first week and now it collects dust on the coffee table. Plus I think when three tab gets honeycomb they will be equals.

Same here. I had a Galaxy S i9000M (Canadian Bell version), they're frying all over the place, it's a joke, the motherboards have to be replaced (go check the forum here on XDA, some people are on their 3rd-4th bricked phone!). And my warranty was voided because the USB port had "liquid damage" (which it never had, they just check the USB pins, if it's blue-ish instead of golden, that's it. It was simply due to moisture, thanks to the cheap plastic "protector"). Worst experience ever, NEVER gonna buy Samsung again.

Xoom vs G-Tab
My friend has the galaxy tab. It is small, for a tab. It is huge, for a phone. I got an iPad, which will quickly be sold to fund the purchase of my Xoom when it hits, and the 9.6" screen does not make it a hassle to carry around. As far as comparison, there really is none. They will run different versions of android, the Xoom will have a dual-core CPU with integrated graphics from nvidia. 'nuff said. Motorola just got my business back. The last phone i bought from them was the first-gen Razor. Samsung will need to do more than put a super AMOLED screen in the GTab II.
When the Xoom is finally released, Motorola are already quoting 'March' delay the Xoom will be 40% more expensive than the Tab, not a lot of competition between the two.
Buying any of these new android tablets on the day of release sounds like a bit of a mugs game, wait a month and they're $150 cheaper, three months and they're half price

I second that but this community is pretty good at releasing the new android version when Samsung fails to do so. I have had froyo on my captivate since it was leaked and from what I heard cm7 gingerbread is on its way. So hopefully even if Samsung drags their feet as usual we should see some unofficial build.

It a samsung policy to charge carriers for what it considers to be standard update, (not a critical one, where there are bugs etc) carriers don't want to take up the option (it can cost $$$$$$$$, who can blame them) so it's the end user who misses out

No one has confirmed this and Samsung has denied it. At this point until someone has better information that supports the story you are referencing, you are spreading malicious rumors and this is coming from a current unhappy Samsung customer who can't wait to get back with HTC.
Motorola has confirmed a end of February release for the xoom. Likely it will have some type of subsidized priceing because all the hype around this being the first tablet with 3.0 and the most powerful to date. They wouldn't want to ruin that hype with and over pricing of the tablet. That's just my 2cents

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.

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.

Nothing like burning both batteries in yoir playbook and phone just to get online.
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.

I'm still looking to get one. Which version is on sale?
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.

Now I would like to know which Android tablet you people are planning to get by Christmas. I know tablets are gonna be the top thing to get then so I could see competition stepping up. I'm gonna want a wifi only one with the option to tether my Vibrant to it (yes Im planning to still have at least one of my Vibrants by then). I know the Ipad2 and the HP pad seem a lil ahead of the game compared to the Android tablets but I'm sticking to Android cuz I want to have the freedom to customize it like I did this Vibrant. Do not reply if your NOT getting an Android tablet please.

Oh and did I mention the rush of a flashmania circling through my system since I received shipping details, CRAAAAZY
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 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.
