Samsung Galaxy Tab!

Drawn resonance reading the article Samsung's Galaxy Tab is iPad's First Real Rival and an unbiased review here. Googled cos Ric just gave me the Android that i expressed interest on ;) saw it while window shopping and like its sleek handy size.

The 7-inch tablets seem to be made for our smaller one-handed use than larger-screened ones (the 9.7-inch iPad); weighting less than a pound, i thus agree to adopt it as a mobile phone.

Samsung Galaxy Tab (S$998 without mobile plan)

Hate carrying multiple electronic gadgets, i love it for the fact that Samsung Galaxy Tab has phone communication abilities; i expect my tablet to work as well as my current handphone. Yes, it should act as my mp3 music player too!

It felt really COOL when i tested out the Tab by speaking to Ric on the speaker phone while surfing on the screen! The speakers sounded noticeably crispier than the average smartphone!

Of course there are the grouses of shorter battery life as compared to the iPad, and the inconvenience of ear piece connection for heavy phone user, but all in all, i love the Tab as it is ;) What's really dreary? Having to learn around the whole new Android interface after being so comfortable with years of Nokia.

"It's different enough from the iPad, yet good enough, to give consumers a real choice." quoted from http://walt.allthingsd.com/. Compare it with 16GB iPad which is going for S$928, which will you choose?
