The full specs on the Samsung’s Galaxy Tab have been out for a little while now, and I’m impressed with the device. Samsung have now priced the Galaxy Tab at $600, but have been taking some criticism for doing so. In my opinion I believe that the price tag is more than justified considering what you’re getting. First off the Galaxy tab is $30 cheaper than the 3G version of the iPad, but has features that beat out the iPad. It’s got front and back facing cameras, augmented reality (which is sick by the way) and a better touch screen with a higher pixel density. In a perfect world this would be the thing that has everyone riled up, rather than the iPad.
from engadget
I think $600 will be reasonable if it is close to perfect out of the box. I've had my Vibrant since launch day and although I am very happy with it, there are some things about it that are unexcusable. The lag is obviously an issue, as well as the terrible stock e-mail application. My biggest concern is that Samsung will not get updates out for the device in a timely manner. I've waited for months for the Froyo update for the Vibrant, I don't want to purchase the Tab for $600 and have to wait 6 months to have Gingerbread and Honeycomb to come along. For $400, maybe even $500, the Tab would be a day one purchase. However at the $600 price point, I'll be waiting for the Notion Ink Adam or maybe even the Blackberry Playbook. Both of those devices seem to have better hardware and should have better battery life.
Plus Sprint announced their version. $399 with 2 year contract. $20 for 2GB of Data. When you factor this in the Sprint version 2 year cost of ownership is $879. The Verizon version does not require a contract so if you went WiFi only the cost of ownership over 2 years is $280 cheaper. I think the Verizon version is a better buy then Sprint or iPad.
One of the other cool things that the Galaxy Tab has over the iPad is the fact that because it’s portable, it can serve multiple purposes. With the 3G version you can use it as a car GPS for example. Now of course you could do the same with the iPad but the iPad, though small, is still too bulky to ever work as a truly portable tool.
I think all versions have GPS. So you wont need 3g for a-gps...

I don't particularly see how the Playbook would have significantly better battery life. It could only save power through the 3g stack (same as on their handsets) which won't make much practical difference when the screen is slurping so much. As for the Adam, well it weighs nearly double the Tab.
As for the specs, yes those devices have a little more in RAM, but not much else. I doubt that in practice you could tell the difference. Also, the Adam is going to force you to use its own market, so thats a HUGE downside to me. Also, you can't get the Notion in contract to my knowledge, so you will HAVE to pay the full list, no choice to get a carrier subbed one and spread the cost.
Also, yes the Tab is reasonably priced.

I just recently purchased a Galaxy Tab through Rogers w/o a contract. It was pretty much a impulse buy. After going on here and reading what I could do to the device, I caught glimpse of some threads saying to hold off for the Xoom and some other tablets that are coming out.
I own a iPhone4, Macbook Pro (13") and a Alienware M17x (17").
The thing I love most about the Galaxy Tab is the form factor. I find the size comfortable. Reading about the new tablets with dual core processors and 10" + screens is exciting tho. Currently in Canada the Tab's are not cheap I paid $755 including taxes. I do have 15 days to return the Tab.
Should I return it and wait for something new? or do you think if or when honeycomb is ported over it will still be able to compete with the xoom or some of the newer tablets of 2011.
Thanks! Sorry for the long post, thought I'd make it a good one to break my XDA cherry
-Geby.
prices will drop. return it.
yeah, return it and wait for the next new shiny thing to be released, but then hang on because the next even more shiny and even newer thing will be on the horizon so best wait for that. Oh, don't buy that version because it will be out of date when the next new bit of kit comes along.
Enjoy what you have, so if it's out of date in 18 months sell it then and buy something newer.
I reckon that my 'tech fund' for phones etc costs me about £10 a week - money well spent.
Just for the record, there is no way I'd part with my Tab or my X10
keep it, it's always best to buy "newer" units after 6 months since its release. (better prices, no more bugs, updated firmwares etc)
dont even think twice take it back i just got 2 of them 3 days ago and find it to get boring seeing that it does not work as good as it should esp iu had 750 in 2 and decided to f it there will be the tab 2 in june plus the moto xoom

$755??? WTF!!! Return it, drive across the border and buy one for $300
Yeah- at that price I'd take it back and scout around for a cheaper one. If you don't find it in a month or so then wait for the next version.
You can always argue that the next one will be better, but with an upgrade cycle now for most phone-tablets-electronic devices of about 6 months you have to draw the line somewhere and get something. Otherwise you will be like the couple that keeps putting off having a child until they can afford it, or have the time for it. It never happens!
Or, if you wait to long to make up your mind and the return period runs out you can always send it to me. I could use a nice gift right about now
I agree, got mine at Tmo about 3 weeks ago for $350.00 on contract; went back to the store tdy and got $. 50 back on my ccard and $ 50 mail back rebate: = $ 250.00 total cost I figured will use it for 6 to 9 months and by then the prices of the new models will be way better than at launching...
I bought one today for $533 new from Best Buy. I didn't sign up for a plan cause I have free hotspot on my EVO, so it doesn't make sense to pay Sprint $30 a month for what I have free. I've connected it to my Evo and it works great....BUT I am wondering if I should have waited on the tab 2 or spend a little more and get the Xoom.
Hey guys and gals. The money wasnt a huge issue with buying the tab. The main thing was if i should wait a month for something better. Looking on ebay i see that you guys are dead on about the prices. Which carriers are compatible with my rogers 3G?

For some reason, after reading the many negative posts about the Xoom, I now want to cancel my order that I got with the 25% off coupon.
Things that is the deal breaker for me is the following:
1. Cannot play 720p .mkv videos
2. Mediocre screen/display
I went to Best Buy and saw the Samsung Galaxy Tab and just love the brightness of the SGT. It is so vibrant.
Also, reading the posts about the SGT indicates that it can handle 720p and even 1080p flawlessly. It can also be replaced with faster ROM to make the SGT even better.
So I am thinking of cancelling the Xoom order from Motorola with the 25% off coupon and just get the Galaxy Tab instead.
Anyone has the same feeling?
....or I can just keep the order and not open it once I have it and sell it for $750 on Craigslist. This would cause a little bit of a hassle though.
Heck no! I'm keeping mine!
If you don't want to keep it, you should sell it on Ebay or something. You can make a profit if you sell it for under $800. [ninja'd]
Even if they don't want it, why would they ever cancel their order? Even if they have no intent to use the device, they basically have $150 free on the way to their house when they sell it. Even if they sell it for $700 just to get it off their hands they just made $100. lol.
And good god why would you ever buy the Galaxy Tab, with several new Honeycomb tablets coming in the following weeks.
Is this a joke? It has to be. A galaxy tab over the xoom? Lol
It will play mkv files once the software gets fixed I'm sure.

People with issues are the ones who speak the loudest. I'm not worried at all about isolated incidents. As a launch G1, N1, and now Xoom (but not yet received) user it comes with the territory.
If I were worried about a lack of apps, bugs, or flash at launch etc. I would have trashed my G1 right away. I remember the android 1.0 days when I had to wait a month before the market was live. Even then, there was only a few dozen apps available.
I'm treating 3.0 the same way as 1.0. Full of potential. Just have to have faith after an update or two it will be amazing.
Xoom to Galaxy Tab...WUT?
The Galaxy Tab is good but its not in the same league as the Xoom. The screen isn't that bad, its bright and extremely responsive. Samsung will probably always have the lead in screen technology but it isn't as bad as you think. Once the Xoom gets an update it will not only handle 720p video but 1080p as well. Getting the 25% off this thing makes it a no brainer bye.

Typing this from my week old Samsung Galaxy Tab. I already have a large tablet device (ipad) but needed something portable, so the Xoom is out of the question especially after I picked it up and realized it's pretty much a landscape device.
The Galaxy tab is a great device and trust me 7 inches is the sweet spot if you actually want it to leave the house on a regular basis (other than vacations). Personally, if you care about having the latest OS, I would wait for the HTC flyer. If you don't care about portability, I would just wait to see reviews and releases on the other Honeycomb devices.
If you don't care about the latest OS, I would highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I haven't touched my ipad in a week.
Just sell the Xoom on Craigslist and make a nice little profit.

There is no way I would even touch a galaxy tab after using a Xoom. 2.2 was not meant for tablets and the processor is so slow.. even after I developed a kernel to overclock it.
If you would like a cheap sprint version.. mine is on ebay for $350 right now..
I've been hearing rumors that tablets in 6 months to a year will make this tablet obsolete. Apparently tablets will be coming out soon with almost twice the processing speed as this currently has, is that true? I have to make a decision on a tablet to buy that will last me at least 2 years before I can buy another one, do you all think that this will last that long? Should I wait another 6 months and buy a better tablet when they start rolling out? I know the developers will keep this going, but like with my HTC Hero, as soon as the next big thing came out, everybody left that device in the dust.
It's a common joke in the tech world to say that by the time you buy your device it's obsolete.
Sadly, it's true. Qualcomm already announced some beastly processors at CES this year, but said they won't show up in devices until 2012. So that's already going to make your device obsolete within a year or so.
I'd say find a device you like now, and buy it. After you buy it be sure to look the other way as other devices get announced.
Also, don't buy into Best Buy's Buyback program, it's a ripoff. You have to sell back within 6 months, and can only get at most 50% of your purchase price back.

Are you ****ting on me? No really I think it smells funny in here. Of course it will be
Computers and similar products like tablets and smartphones follow the same rule. The motorola Xooms performance will be outshadowed in a year, just like the Evo's performance is already outshadowed by the latest phones coming out.
To expect a technology product of this type to be relevant a year later is not gonna happen lol.

The quadcores will be coming out (and the IPAD 3 is rumored to come out) at the beginning of next year.
The end of this year, that quadcores will be SAMPLING - meaning prototype devices will be shown, with release schedules in the beginning of the next year around this time.
With any sort of device, you are looking at a 6 month doubling time in technology. Recently that has been speeding up.
To be fair, the google nexus one (also a flagship) still gets regular updates first - the Moto xoom should be similar.
After one year, quadcores will come out - but your tegra 2 will still be usable.
its obsolete already....save ur money...don't buy anything...
Depending on what you mean by obsolete.
As with Android phones, there are severe competition within the Android platform. All big manufacturers refresh their flagship models every few months to take advantage of newer faster better components. If you want to always have to top of the line, the highest-spec Honeycomb tablet, the Xoom may not last for long. It's already been said that the Samsung one may have a better screen and the LG one does 3D... and how knows how many more Honeycomb tablets will be announced at CTIA by the end of this month.
But if you are considering getting a high-end tablet to won't be obsolete in the sense of not getting updates, or the hardware can't keep up with the softwares. You don't really have to worry, for at least a year or more. Your experience with it will only get better as Honeycomb platform gets more mature, for the next year at least.
This is always the case with Android. The faster, nicer looking, longer lasting device with the latest firmware and the newer manufacturer technology is always right around the corner.
Ultimately this is why I chose not to subsidize with a 24 month ($480 dollar + tax) contract.

I would like to introduce you to Moore's Law.
Moore's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. The quantity of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years. The trend has continued for more than half a century and is not expected to stop until 2015 or 2020 or later.

What he said.
Obsolete is such a funny word. People interchange it with top of the line. There will be some games that come out in a year that won't look as good on the Xoom. They'll probably be/are tablets that are better able to decode video. But the Xoom won't tell stories of processing 4 times harder in the snow for a while.
Disregard.
Well, it wont be complete obsolete but NVIDIA already announced that their new quad core processors will be out on tablets by August of 2011. So, thats twice the performance the xoom has now. I'm expecting a Xoom 2 of some kind. I would wait honestly. thats what imma do.

Contract is for a data plan. You can always buy another off contract (full price) and switch them out.
This is something thats frustrating me aswell. £500 is alot of money these days, especially with cost of living increasing, the price of rice etc.
So you kinda want to get a good few years use out of it. And not have to worry about upgrading within 12 months.
And likewise expect adequate support and updates as quickly as possible without feeling abandoned.

It won't be obsolete but it won't be top of the line anymore. Really, you should buy what makes you happy now, skip the next generation of tablets, and then refresh with whatever 3rd gen comes out in a year or so.
You'd be broke if you tried to keep up with the latest technology. Unless you have that much disposable income...

Yeah but if you have that attitude you'll be waiting forever. When the iPad came out I wanted to wait because although it's a great product, I don't like Apple's ethos. When the cheap aPad type tablets came out I wanted to wait because they're a bit dodgy build wise. When the Galaxy Tab came out I wanted to wait because I'm not a fan of the 7 inch form factor. Now the Xoom is out and I'm supposed to wait again, for another what 5/6 months because there MAY be a quad core tab out before the end of the year? No. The Xoom has everything I was waiting for, a proper tablet OS, open ethos (I was dreading an unlockable bootloader), good build quality and 10 inch form factor. It's what I've been waiting for. I'll be damned if I'm going to wait again just for a performance boost that I'm not even sure it needs right now.
Anyway, when the quad cores are out there will be another reason to wait. I can imagine it now. "Oh you're going to buy that quad tab are you? Why don't you wait until Icecream is out next Jan, then you'll be able to have glasses free 3D." Or some such other benefit for waiting. Nah, I'm done waiting, I'm jumping on the tablet train now.

Completely agree with you. There is finally a quality tablet out there and thats why I picked it up. I'm sure this is plenty fast enough, and you'll always be waiting for something better.
Just pick a comfortable one and stop evaluating new ones, but treat them as candidate for 2 years later.
That's why having a 2-year contract helps sometimes. It help to set the mentality right.
Sometimes it sounds like, to be married or to be single and availe for better girlfriend/boyfriend ,
which one is better?
Just in this case, the contract is just 2-year. The inappropriate analogy is life-time (or at least hopefully for many's cases)
I think the reason the xoom will not become obsolete as quickly as other tablets do is due to the software, not the hardware. I owned an htc hero and saw the nexus 1 get multitudes of update and my poor hero get only 2. The xoom is much like the nexus 1. Even though the hardware will not be the latest and the greatest, your software will always be up to date. Something you may not see with the LG device (due to 3D) or the Samsung device (due to Samsung being Samsung).
Just something to consider.

Not close - won't fit in a normal pocket, 56% larger based on overall measurements, weighs 36% more, non-replaceable battery. Fail as Aria replacement. May be a great phone, but much too large.
Wouldn't the HTC One V be a more suitable replacement?
With the X, you might as well be carrying around a tablet in your pocket.
I wasn't talking about it being a similar phone, ha. Just a phone that I like enough to replace the aria. Probably should have clarified

On one hand, I think I'm eligible for an upgrade in late May, but as nice as the One X looks I can't justify buying it, given how crippled it is compared to the international version. Half the internal memory (even if all 16GB were free it wouldn't hold my music collection) and a dual-core Snapdragon instead of a quad-core Tegra 3. LTE doesn't matter too much to me, since we don't even have 3G around where I live, and the college I go to has campus-wide WiFi and city-wide WiMAX for the laptops.
The X seems way to big as a phone for me. It definitely has some powa! I've had the aria for almost a year and a half now and I'm so use to having a small phone. I have to wait till next January for next grade. ouch hopefully a quad core sized aria will be made.

I'd prefer the dual-core Snapdragon over the quad-core Tegra 3. More cores does not always mean better.
Ive used the Note for some time so I think Ill be able to adjust xD. I think its probably my next upgrade. Either this or the new SGS3.
I had the oppurtunity to play with the one x at my local att store today they let have a sneak peak at it before it goes on display tomorrow and I have to say for being 4.7 screen it was surprisingly comfortable in my hand and fit quite easily into my pocket almost less noticeable then my aria. Its unlike any HTC phone before very light and thin. The screen was stunning and it was fast and smooth. I'm pretty much sold on this phone unless the may 3rd announcement in London about the details of the new sg3 is truly note worthy I'll be picking the one x up. As far as the quad vs the dual debate goes I've following a thread where an xda member has quad and just received the rogers one x which will be the same as the att version and in just about every bench mark he has done the duel core out performed the quad. He also felt that the duel just seems better in real world use.

And for $199, It's a steal! I'd be a fool not to get it. I have been due for an upgrade since this month. I am 100% sold on this phone. I try not to think about it though because my nerves get the best of me. It's so long until the sixth!
Perfect time too because the Aria is really starting to show its age. Once I upgrade, the Aria will be a dedicated GPS.

Just pre-ordered this baby this morning! Will arrive at my doorstep on the fourth! The Aria forums are a wonderful community, and I can only hope that the One X forums are even half as friendly!
Saw an article today saying there was a promotion at AT&T to get it for $149. I definitely agree that the dual-core is better for "real world" use over the Tegra 3.
Unfortunately for AT&T and HTC, I am going to be switching to Verizon when the SGS3 comes out, unless it is just a complete bust, which I really don't see happening. Verizon has a far more widespread LTE network and much better customer service. I think it's funny how AT&T advertises that their LTE network is faster, but fails to mention that there are far fewer LTE users on their network than Verizon. If AT&T had the LTE traffic that Verizon does, there is no way they would have faster speeds. *steps down from soap box*
Edit: Throwing this out there...I bet the SGS3 gets root and full CM9 support in less time from its release date than the One X. Any takers?
