Samsung has introduced its 7-inch Android tablet months ago and soon will be available in a wifi version as well as on the main networks including Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T. With a 3G data contract the price will be subsidized to around $300 and around $700.
At only 7 inches it is smaller than the iPad and much more expensive. It comes with two cameras, a 1.3 megapixel in the front for video chat and a rear 3 megapixel camera with a flash. It is equipped with a 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor that is capable of as much processing power as the iPad. It is available in 16 GB and 32 GB models and in two colors, although only black will be available at launch.
The main difference between the Galaxy Tab and the iPad is screen size, as well as the OS. The Android OS is still new, and not nearly as polished as Apple's iOS, but it might get better as soon as the newest version, 3.0 (Gingerbread) is released in the 4th Quarter.
Pros: two cameras, against the iPads 0. Full HD playback
Cons: 7-inch screen, Cost (At $700 it's a little pricey) Android 2.2 , which is not optimized for tablets.
Overall, the Galaxy Tab is a good start for Samsung, but it needs work and will need a larger screen at some point.
