The size does ring true for portability, the OS 2.2 (and hopefully 2.3.3, ahem Samsung) has so many apps that can be up scaled to fit the devices screen without causing pixel distortion.

Here is one thing to keep in mind, if you suddenly find your iDevice (phone, pad etc) is having issues, you can't hard reset and download your stuff again. Not until you get to your computer, which is likely @ home since you chose to be mobile. Not an issue with Android, now is it.

Be smart, Be mobile, Be free to make your choice and most of all think of what you want out of your tablet and not what you are told you want out of your tablet.

Well, I am recieving a galaxy tab soon. I am also very excited about it, I have played with both the iPad and the galaxy (my dad has both from work.) and I find that I prefer the Tab, however I do have a small screened android phone.

brand (big samsung fan here) my tv phone and now my tablet are all of the brand
os (big droid fan here)
and last but certainly not least SIZE

This is great thread. I'm planning to buy Tab or iPad. I'm confuse which is the best.

aizaka: I've updated the thread I began, called "I'm depressed about my Gal-Tab". If you go to the last page and read my recent update, you can read it and that might help you with your decision.

I love this topic! I was in the club of "What in the world do I need a tablet for?" until recently. I had planned on getting a Nook color for the kids books for my daughter who is at that learning to read stage. I have always found the iPad to be too big, and I'm a huge supporter of Android, so I didn't want to help line Steve Jobs' pockets any more. To be fair, and went and played with the iPad in an Apple store. I gotta tell ya that like someone else mentioned, I didn't hold it for long and just mainly left it on the counter while trying it out. Just too big. I also looked at the new LG Slate, but again...too big. Finally, that new Asus Eee Transformer looked SUPER HOT, but it sold out too quickly and yet again, it's still big, but that keyboard is a huge positive in it's favor.

Yesterday, I went into a T-Mo store to check out the G Tab after reading so much about it. I picked it up and just played around with it. Well, let's just say that after 45 minutes of it being in my hand the entire time, I went and placed my name on the list to get with a sales agent to talk about purchasing one. Lo and behold, they had none in stock as it was selling well in that store for some reason (especially since they dropped the price). Went home, got on line, and saved another $50 by picking up a refurbished unit. It arrives Monday.

I like that it's pocket friendly (I wear a lot of cargo shorts this time of year and I am in Florida after all). I don't have large hands, and this thing fits perfectly. I also saw some of the videos where users mounted them into their dash. That was just hot. I may have to thing about doing something similar to my Kia Soul as it would look really good inside.

Thanks for all the discussion. Between what I'm reading hear, the G Tab I picked up being on T-Mo, Android, and the 7" form factor, I think I made a really good decision. Can't wait for Monday!

If they'd add a mic and GPS, I would!

This thread seems to be comparing APPLES with oranges... the Ipad should be compared to the Asus Transformer (there are plenty of those elsewhere)... but after reading this thread, it's talked me down to a 7" tab, and most likely the Galaxy Tab (unless something new comes out soon). I was on the verge of buying the ASUS on my way home. Now I think it would be too big to be "portable".

Get a nook color and root it! Ban! Tablet!

Sent from my rooted nook color!

The Galaxy Tab has two cameras* ‬--* ‬a rear-facing* ‬3.2-megapixel camera and a front-facing* ‬1.3-megapixel camera for video chatting* ‬--* ‬while the current models of the iPad have none.

Display...wolves bark on a retina...Android tabs are still pleated...boo...besides the med-bio stuff on Apple is sick...Android is still kinda building on bones.
