Looks good so far, I read that you'll be able to text from it (SMS).

Flash capable, decent battery life, 5 hours - we'll see how good that pans out.

Cobster, I've not been following the tablet wars but was recently asked if there's anything else on the market other than an ipad. Are there any other choices right now?

 

[Cobster]

Tang, this may help you quite a bit then.

If I were you, I'd wait a bit longer if you don't really need it.
The options will really come out later next year.

Thanks Cob.. The person wants to buy one in the next month or two.. and doesn't want an ipad.. either a windows or android product..

Galaxy is looking like a pretty nice piece. It has 1080P HDMI out so it could be an awesome media player.

Samsung Galaxy Tablet: the iPad Killer? Pricing and features will play a major role here.

I'm quite interested in getting one of these myself.. Will you have to buy it from Rogers (even if you don't want sim card capable)?

Look into the ARCHOS 101 Internet tablet
10.1" Android tablet for $350 in Canada

Apparently BestBuy will be selling all models of the Galaxy Tab including a no contract WiFi only version for $499

So it's going to be similar to an entry level iPad ( around 550 CAD here ) .... that's more like it.

We'll see how they sell.... I'm hoping the Android platform can generate at least a couple high volume models- this will drive apps development for all...

I am looking forward to test driving the ‘Galaxy Tab’.
