“The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus ($399.99 for Wi-Fi model) is a chance to revitalize that original 7-inch market. Slimmer, sleeker, and powered by Android 3.2 Honeycomb, the 7.0 Plus fits right at home with its larger-screened contemporaries.”

“Its dual-core processor is a legitimate powerhouse, the 8-megapixel camera oozes quality from every shot, and the WXGA Super AMOLED display is both gorgeous and dense enough to make you forget about its Pentile roots.”

“Some might say the Galaxy Note is too big for a smartphone or too small for a tablet, but like Goldilocks — and, hopefully for Samsung — others will think that it is just right.”

“The 16GB WiFi model will hit for $499 — exactly in line with the iPad — while the 32GB variant will demand $100 more (we’re still awaiting word on 3G prices). If you’re sold on Android, and you aren’t too concerned with having an LTE radio in your tablet, there’s really no need to look elsewhere.”

“Whether you go Wi-Fi only or opt for a connected version, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the first Android tablet that makes a credible, and successful, run at competing with Apple’s iPad 2. It matches iPad in most every way-design, price, and even that intangible IT factor. Where it falls short lies is in sacrificing ports, but that alone isn’t a dealbreaker; heck, Apple’s been doing that from the outset.”

“As thin as the iPad 2 and even lighter, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the sexiest Honeycomb tablet we’ve seen. Also, it has an 8-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front camera, and powerful dual speakers.”

“Samsung was the first manufacturer to provide a credible iPad competitor with its original Samsung Galaxy Tab and now the company is back with a bigger and better tablet — the powerful Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v.”

“Lightweight for a 10-inch tablet; Android Honeycomb is a joy to use; outstanding performance even for 3D games; solid battery life. No HDMI or DLNA for media sharing; no microSD card slot; not many apps available for Honeycomb yet.”

“After spending the last couple of days with the Galaxy Tab, we can confidently say it’s the best Android tablet on the market. Now, that’s not saying much given the state of the Android competition, but we can also assuredly say that the Tab is the first true competitor to Apple’s iPad.”

“Another little advantage the Tab has over the iPad is Adobe Flash 10.1 compatibility, allowing all of the Web’s Flash video content to play natively in the browser. The results are a little choppy in some cases, but it’s nice to have the option.”

“Samsung’s very first tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, is surely a device with its own philosophy. It is very compact and easy to carry around, and due to a healthy-sized 7″ display, it is a great offering for casual users. It is still quite versatile though, being equipped with a lot of connectivity options and also two cameras for occasional shots and video calls. In the meantime, its design is solid and contemporary, although executed mainly out of plastic.”
