“Apple has had the tablet market largely to itself since
introducing the iPad in April. But if first impressions of Samsung
Mobile’s upcoming Galaxy Tab Android tablet are any indication, the
iPad may have some real competition later this year.

“Samsung “has set the gold standard for Android tablets, and
might have just enough differentiation, quality, and moxy to set
its 7-inch contender up against Apple’s 9.7-inch juggernaut,” says
Engadget.

“”The Samsung Galaxy Tab is the first Android tablet I can take
seriously,” writes PC Magazine. “It’s well-built, elegant, and
fast.”

“LAPTOP magazine adds: “To be honest, I was getting a little
bored of the parade of crappy tablets trying to steal the iPad’s
thunder. The Galaxy Tab is different. And while the selection of
Android apps for slates need a serious growth spurt, this device
looks pretty impressive overall. If other Apple opponents are
smart, they’ll follow Samsung’s lead.””
