Entering the Realm of the Galaxy Tab

Landed his sweet deal for $400 shipped. I have 2 iPads so I figured I'd give the android tab a shot. Love the Galaxy line, so why not.

Is there any case similar to a smart cover? Samsungs official case any good?

nothing similar to the smart cover because if there were there would be a huge lawsuit from apple, but targus makes a nice leather tablet case you can find at bestbuy. The samsung case is ok but I prefer the targus.

Yeah thats the case i ended up ordering on this site. Looked like the closest to what i was looking for.

Question though, I also picked up the desktop dock. Is there a way or an app to keep the sceen on and have a clock enabled while its docked?

So far i really like this thing.

If I'm not mistaken I think there is a desktop clock app included but don't quote me on that.

There isn't on mine.

Also, why the hell are the android apps for the tabs so far behind? Is it a device thing or a android issue?

It's just honeycomb.... just wait for ICS, I'm guessing it was too hard for developers to make a set of apps for a tab and a set of apps for phones. ICS will combine the 2 and make it easier for developers to program for.
