Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

U.S. Cellular subscribers love their carrier, and they'll probably love it more with 4G LTE. But the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 ($399-499) isn't the best way to keep the love flowing. While it's the first tablet to use the super-fast network on the nation's most adored carrier, it's last year's model and suffers from app availability problems that all Android tablets are currently struggling with. Hardware, Design, and OSThe U.S. Cellular Tab is actually the same hardware as the Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 ($629.99), which we gave a 3.5-star rating to when we reviewed it last September. But as often happens when carriers are six months late with a product, we're knocking the tablet down half a point because the world has moved on, but the Galaxy Tab 10.1 hasn't. The Galaxy Tab is a now-traditional slab-style tablet, 10.1 by 6.9 by .34 inches (HWD) and 19.9 ounces. It has a 10.1-inch, 1280-by-800 screen (thus the name) and a slightly textured gray back. It's slim and relatively light for a tablet its size. U.S. Cellular's one model is the 32GB unit, which offers about 27GB of space for user files; there's also a microSD card slot. Battery life was similar to the new Apple iPad, at 5 hours, 15 minutes of video playback time with the screen brightness cranked up to max.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

With so many companies now venturing into the tablet market it’s hard to know which one will best suit your needs. With Apple taking a huge percentage of the glory in the tablet market with the Apple iPad 2, many tablet manufacturers are struggling to keep up. However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has now entered the ring and is ready to put up a fight. Let’s see how well it performs in the review… The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was unveiled back in January this year and was set for a March / April release. However, after the Apple iPad 2 was released, Samsung CEO Lee Don-Joo suggested a model review after he thought that some of the original Galaxy Tab’s specifications were inadequate when compared with the Apple iPad 2. The 10.1 in the Galaxy Tab’s name refers to the screen size, which is 10.1-inches, slightly larger than the iPad’s 9.7-inch screen. Sporting a similar design to the Samsung Galaxy S II, the Galaxy Tab is a sleek and slim Android-based tablet, currently running Android 3.1 Honeycomb, measuring in at just 8.6mm in thickness and weighing just 565g. These figures tell us that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is both ultra slim and ultra light.

Touchscreen Tablet Reviews

So here it is, in our lab at last: Samsung's long-awaited riposte to the Apple iPad has finally made it. It officially went on sale at the start of August, but getting hold of a Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been a tricky business ever since. Given all of the legal wranglings over patents between Apple and Samsung, saying that the Tab has had a bit of a rough start is something of an understatement. After being banned, it subsequently went on sale according to certain conditions, but with the constant threat of a new ban. It's now available everywhere apart from Germany. We were very impressed when we got the chance to play with a Galaxy Tab 10.1 back in July, but we've now—finally—managed to get our hands on one. In technical terms, very little separates the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the majority of other 'high-end' tablets running Android Honeycomb with a 10.1'' form factor. That means it gets a 1 GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi)

Not its first tablet, but Samsung's first entry into the recent Honeycomb tablet boom, the Wi-Fi Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a hair thinner than the Apple iPad 2 ($499, 4.5 stars). Despite this physical feat, it won't replace last year's seven-inch Galaxy Tab—Samsung reps claim they're selling far too well. The $499.99 (list) Tab 10.1 is as capable as any of its Honeycomb competitors, but Samsung might change that. Though it was originally released with an untouched version of Honeycomb, an August update introduced Samsung's customized TouchWiz UI. Samsung has a checkered past when it comes to timely Android updates and UI customizations on its phones, and though the TouchWiz verdict is a pretty good one here, timely updates could still become a problem. Regardless, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the best Android tablets available right now. Design and Features Measuring approximately 6.9 by 10.1 by 0.3 inches (HWD), the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 looks vastly different than every tablet we've seen thus far. Just kidding—they all look virtually identical. From the front, the Tab 10.1 most closely resembles the iPad 2 in overall appearance (no logos, just a black frame around the display) and the Motorola Xoom ($599, 3.5 stars) in shape.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review: Droid at large

Tablets are basking in well-deserved attention and manufacturers know they need to try hard and make their devices distinct and memorable. Truly unique gadgets are hard to come by these days - especially in Honeycomb land. Which is perhaps part of the reason why iPad is still the one to beat. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G is in for a challenge, and up for it. Shortly after launch the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was blessed with a custom user experience, called Touch Wiz UX, which literally puts more color into Honeycomb, offers a good selection of customizable widgets and most importantly tries to ease your way into Android for tablets. Yet this tablet's main advantage remains that it's the most portable 10? slate to hit the market. It's thinner even than iPad 2 and good 42 grams lighter than Apple's frontrunner, while still promising to match its battery performance. And that's no mean feat since tablets are going hard after netbooks, so they need to back their portability with battery longevity. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, a bright 10.1" PLS TFT display of WXGA resolution, a premium set of connectivity options and plenty of storage space. Check out the full list of things going for (and against) the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G below.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

Samsung has done the best job thus far of challenging the iPad 2's supremacy, and a new adversary has now landed on Verizon Wireless. Not only is this 10-inch Android Honeycomb tablet as slim as Apple's slate, it connects to Verizon's blazing 4G LTE network, offering 10 times the data speeds of the 3G-only iPad 2. Still, $529 isn't cheap, and you'll wind up forking over a lot more cash in data fees over that two-year contract. Is this Android tablet worth the investment--and commitment?The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one seriously slim slate. Identical in size and shape to the Wi-Fi-only version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (10.1 x 6.9 x 0.34 inches), it's also as trim as the ultra-svelte iPad 2 (9.5 x 7.3 x 0.34 inches). This tablet is slightly wider than the iPad 2 but a tad lighter: 1.25 pounds to the iPad 2's 1.35 pounds. We could easily hold the Tab with little arm strain while reading for extended periods. The Tab is much lighter than competing Honeycomb slates such as the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and the Motorola Xoom (1.4 and 1.6 pounds, respectively).The Galaxy Tab's screen sits in a black bezel, and aluminum rings the edges. Unlike on the Wi-Fi Galaxy Tab 10.1, power and volume keys sit on the slate's left side (in landscape orientation) instead of on top.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

While the iPad may be the market leader - Samsung has certainly thrown down a challenge in the shape of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It's more slender than Apple's offering, weighs less, and if Samsung has got it right, just generally better. The Korean company was so keen to get one over on Apple that it took its chubbier Galaxy Tab 10.1 off the shop shelves when the slimline iPad 2 came out. So can this much-anticipated Android Honeycomb tablet live up to the hype? The Galaxy Tab 10.1 weighs a slimline 565g, compared with the iPad 2's 600g. You may not notice the difference if you held them side by side, but still the Tab is really light. This is especially impressive when you consider that it is comparable with the likes of the Motorola Xoom, a weighty 10.1in tablet, as well as the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, that can be a bit of a hulk when it's connected to its keyboard dock. It's on the looks front that the iPad 2's smooth aluminium body wins one over on the Tab's plastic chassis. However, the Tab 10.1 is still the nicest looking Honeycomb tablet we've seen. Its waist measures 0.2 mm less than the iPad 2 and it measures 256.7 x 175.3 x 8.6mm. The screen (which measures 10.1 inches and boasts an 800 x 1280 pixel resolution) is covered by gorilla glass, so should have some protection from marks and knocks.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the successor to Samsung's original 7-inch tablet. It's also arguably the best Android Honeycomb tablet yet released. It combines gorgeous looks with a fantastic screen, and, in purely technical terms, manages to out-perform the iPad 2, although it lags way behind in the number of dedicated apps and games available. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is available with 16GB or 32GB of storage, with prices starting at around £400. A 3G version is expected shortly. There's no point in beating around the bush -- Apple currently has the tablet market well and truly cornered with the excellent iPad 2. It's a less than ideal situation for Google and its tablet hardware partners, but the one positive thing about having a dominant rival is that you at least know what you're out to beat -- and beating the iPad 2 is exactly what Samsung has attempted to do with the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Samsung has gone to great lengths to stress that the Tab 10.1 is thinner than the iPad 2. Almost every aspect of this tablet seems to have been designed in order to score points over the iPad 2. It's slimmer and lighter, and has a higher-resolution screen and better cameras. The Korean manufacturer has unquestionably crafted a truly dazzling piece of hardware.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

The iPad 2 is currently the gold standard for tablets. It's thin, responsive, and arguably the best looking tablet on the market. Samsung isn't happy about this, or the fact that the iPad commands an overwhelming majority of the tablet market in the U.S. and abroad. Samsung first introduced its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in February, but after Apple debuted the razor-thin iPad 2, a redesigned and much thinner Galaxy Tab debuted in March at CTIA. The goal was to match or exceed the iPad 2 in all physical ways. The 10.1 was even tweaked again in April to achieve this ambitious goal. They say to beat the man, you gotta be the man. For the day, Samsung is certainly the man. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the closest an Android tablet has gotten to matching the iPad in design, weight, and thinness. In some categories, it actually exceeds Apple's standards.Samsung isn't ready to change anything about the tablet form factor, but the 10.1 does perfect it. The final design measures 0.34 inches thick — exactly the thickness of the iPad 2, and a huge improvement over thicker units like the Acer Iconia Tab A500 and Motorola Xoom.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review

Welcome to the top spot, Samsung.The outstanding Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Honeycomb tablet is lighter and a hair thinner than the Apple iPad 2, and has a smaller footprint than either the Motorola Xoom or the Acer Iconia Tab A500, which are heavier and bulkier than most tablets.Other than a paltry app selection, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a major contender.We reviewed the short-lived Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V already, but that thicker and heavier device has since been discontinued (It looked as if Vodafone might pick up the 10.1V tab but it is now waiting to release the newer 10.1 model). The only other important players in the tablet market, are the brilliant 10.1-inch Asus Eee Pad Transformer as well as the BlackBerry PlayBook and the HTC Flyer, which are both so-so 7-inch models.Oh, and keep your eye on the HP TouchPad which goes on sale in the UK next month.So what sets the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 apart? For starters, this is one light and thin tablet. At just 8.6mm, it is 0.2mm thinner than the iPad 2. And you know what? At 565g it's also 36g lighter.It's as though someone at Samsung sat down and demanded that the 10.1 have world-beating raw system specs.The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a marvel of engineering, given its size.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Samsung are really taking tablets seriously these days. They already have three offerings this year. And while the Galaxy Tab 8.9 will probably attract the most attention, no one should underestimate the sleek powerhouse that is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The largest of the company's tablets offers more screen estate and larger battery, while at the same time maintaining the impressively slim waistline. There's a Tegra 2 chipset ticking under the hood so you get the latest and greatest in mobile chipset technology. As you can see, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is nothing else, but a slightly larger 8.9 so the only question remaining is which one would suit your style better. And while we find the 8.9" size more versatile, it was the the 9.7-inch iPad that made the tablet class mainstream so it's a good guess the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will probably have a wider reach. Plus Samsung introduced some last minute touches to its largest slate, which should help it fare even better. At the eleventh hour the company announced that it will come with an even larger battery (7000mAh) and 30 grams lower weight than initially announced and that it will be getting DivX and XviD support.

Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 Review

Not content with being second best, Samsung went back to the drawing board after Apple unveiled the iPad 2 to the world – with its impressive thin profile and premium construction. Of course, Samsung isn’t content knowing that they’ve been one-upped, and instead, they reworked the design of their Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 to meet the new standard set by its chief rival. After being officially unveiled back at CTIA 2011, consumers in the US are now able to scoop up the Samsung’s redesigned tablet – thus being crowned as the thinnest and lightest tablet on the market. Instantly, it’s going to catch plenty of inquisitive glares with its razor thin profile, but more importantly, does it have enough drawing power to make it a well-rounded model that can stay head above water over other recent Honeycomb flavored tablets flooding the market as well?The package contains:Alright, let’s get the obvious out of the way, but the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 is undeniably super razor thin – albeit, we’re not thrilled at the same level when we first feasted our eyes on the iPad 2. Nevertheless, it’s the first thing to capture our attention. Besides its slender looks, we’re greeted with a conventional looking tablet that doesn’t boast anything we haven’t seen before.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, in its current form, was born out of a response to Apple's sleek and thin iPad 2 tablet. The original Galaxy Tab 10.1, which hadn't reached market yet, just couldn't compete, so Samsung went back the drawing board and turned out this beauty of a tablet in record time. And this one can compete. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 features a large, wide-screen display that looks sharp and bright, and it rests inside a body that is incredibly thin and light. This 10-inch tablet weighs less than a number of smaller tablets on the market, yet it still packs a dual-core 1GHz processor and the latest version of Android 3.1 Honeycomb. There still aren't very many tablet-specific Android apps, and those that exist are not that easy to find in the Android Market, but the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is still a desirable piece of kit. Hardware As is the case with all 10-inch tablets, Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a large device. Its face measures 256.6mm x 172.9mm (10.1in x 6.8in), but the entire tablet is only 8.6mm (.3in) thick. Pair that with a low 565g (19.9oz) weight and you have a device that is much easier to wield than one might expect. On top of that, the Tab's build quality is really good. The glossy back, which is white and silver on our unit, feels good on the finger tips, and all of the parts fit tightly together.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review: Android 3.1 Tablet

The tablet race continues to heat up. The iPad set the stage for this generation's tablet race, and although things have definitely tightened up, Apple's wunderkind, like it or not, remains the industry standard by which all others are judged. Seasoned technology buffs will likely recall that tablets had another go a decade or so ago, as a number of largely Windows-based, bulky devices hit store shelves. Unfortunately, those products weren't very well thought out -- they were hardly thin, battery life was terrible, and they ran a full desktop OS that wasn't designed for touch input. But, a lot has changed in ten years. Mobile processors have gotten faster and more power efficient. Storage is cheaper. It's easier than ever to pack suitable power into a small frame. And in all of that, Apple has also managed to grab a scary amount of mind and market share, particularly in the tablet space -- a market where they didn't even compete just a few years ago. What does all of this Apple talk have to do with Samsung? A lot, actually. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the first consumer tablet to ship and be thinner (even though it's only thinner by the smallest of margins) than the iPad 2.

Despite this physical feat, it won't replace last year's 7-inch Galaxy Tab - Samsung reps claim they're selling far too well.

While it's pure Honeycomb now, the company has plans to customize the Tab 10.1's operating system somewhere down the line. Samsung has a checkered past around timely Android updates and UI customizations on its phones, and that could be repeated with the Tab 10.1.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (16GB)

From a design perspective, no Android 3.0-based tablet has matched the iPad 2's no-nonsense aesthetic. The iPad 2 is sleek, sexy, thin, and light, with a minimalist design that eschews extra ports. Every Honeycomb tablet released so far has struggled to match that appeal. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the first Honeycomb tablet that is not only as thin as the iPad 2, but is actually lighter. The first thing that struck us upon taking the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 out of its box was its slim profile. In fact, when it's lying next to the iPad 2 we honestly can't tell which tablet is thicker and unfortunately we don't have a micrometer handy to get down into the business of microns. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 weighs 1.24 pounds, compared with the iPad 2's 1.32 pounds. Rather than several paragraphs filled with confusing numbers, I thought a chart would be much more appropriate. Here's a handy chart to illustrate the size differences between the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and other recent tablets. Taking another page from the iPad 2's school of sexy tablet building, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has one of the cleanest designs we've seen in a tablet. From the front, its 10.1-inch screen is surrounded by its 0.8-inch black bezel and a silver aluminum outline at the edge.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi 16GB

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi is the first Android tablet to mount an effective challenge to Apple's iPad 2 in the area where Apple does best: design. And let's face it, where tablets are concerned, design occupies center stage. Happily for Samsung, the Tab 10.1--available in limited distribution starting today, starting at $499 for a 16GB version--parlays its design and its Android 3.1 operating system into a machine that vaults to the head of the Android pack. In my hands-on testing, the Tab 10.1 achieved perhaps the best design compliment an Android tablet could hope for--often being mistaken by passers-by (including Apple iPad users) for an iPad 2. The confusion is understandable when you see and hold the Tab 10.1 for the first time. It has a slim profile of 8.6mm (0.34 inch)--a hair's breadth slimmer than the iPad 2's 8.4mm depth. From the side, the two tablets look very similar. The Tab 10.1 edge is more rounded, though, while the iPad's is tapered. The tablet comes in two colors: Shipping first is the White model, which couples a silver-painted plastic edge with a white plastic back (identical to the limited edition Google I/O version of the Tab, but without the Android graphic imprint); available on June 17, when the Tab 10.1 is slated to ship in volume, will be a Metallic Gray alternative, with edges and back that more closely match.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi) Review

The iPad 2 raised the bar for tablet design, and now Samsung has responded with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which is even lighter and just as thin as Apple's sequel. In fact, it makes every other Android Honeycomb tablet on the market look bloated. Priced at $499 for the 16GB version, the Tab 10.1 also features the latest Android 3.1 software, which promises swifter--and more stable--performance, along with other welcome enhancements. Does this slate have what it takes to take down the champ?Editors' Note: Portions of this review were taken from our review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition.This is as svelte as Android tablets get. At 9.7 x 6.7 x 0.34 inches, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a little wider than the iPad 2 (9.5 x 7.3 inches), but it has the same thickness. In the weight department, the Tab is a hair lighter, coming in at 1.24 pounds to the iPad 2's 1.35 pounds. The Tab 10.1 has a black bezel around the screen, and there's a strip of aluminum that goes along the top, bottom, and sides. However, the back is a glossy white plastic that, while solid, feels less premium than the aluminum back on the iPad 2.Nevertheless, the Tab 10.1's light weight makes a huge difference, especially when compared to other Honeycomb tablets such as the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer or the Motorola Xoom (1.4 and 1.6 pounds, respectively).

Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1

We are holding a prototype version of one of the most-anticipated tablets this year, the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1, which has a lot going for it, not least because of the fact that Samsung went back to the drawing board when it saw how thin the Apple iPad 2 turned out.Samsung's design concept in its Android devices is to keep things as thin and light as possible, for the sake of all-plastic design – just look at the Galaxy S II. Whether you like that approach or not is a totally subjective matter, some might prefer more noble materials like metal and glass for the chassis, but you can't argue that thin and light is of utmost importance in mobile gizmos.Since this design philosophy has come up with 10.09x6.81x0.34” (256.2x172.9x8.6 mm) of 10.1” slate, weighing mere 20.99oz (595g), we are totally happy with it. To put it in perspective – this is the thinnest, lightest 10” tablet out there, slightly less so than even the Apple iPad 2, which has obviously been Samsung's goal all along, despite having a tad larger display.The itself is of Samsung's own PLS-LCD variety, with crisp 1280x800 pixels of resolution, which should bring with it 10% more brightness and wider viewing angles than the IPS-LCD technology in the iPad, for example.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

Samsung helped lead the Android tablet charge last year, with the original Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch slate which even Google admitted may have been released before the OS was ready. Now, with Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets like the XOOM, G-Slate and Eee Pad Transformer on the market, Samsung is back with its second attempt, the larger Galaxy Tab 10.1. Heavily reworked - even after its first official appearance - in order to better compete with the iPad 2, Samsung has high hopes that this is the slender slate to knock Apple off its pedestal. SlashGear brought back the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition white version from Google I/O 2011 this week; check out the full review after the cut. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has had a complicated inception. Samsung first outed the slate at Mobile World Congress in February, running NVIDIA's Tegra 2 dual-core processor with a 10.2-inch 1280 x 800 display, 8-megapixel rear camera and 10.9mm thick chassis. At the time Samsung was talking about a March release, which has obviously since slipped; that's because, in the meantime, Apple announced its iPad 2.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition Review

The second generation of Samsung's Galaxy Tab has been longer in the making than the company anticipated. Reportedly, after the launch of Apple's iPad 2, Samsung felt that the planned (and already shown-off) Tab 10.1 was "inadequate." Now they've revamped the Tab's design to make it thinner, lighter, and more of a direct contender to the iPad, not to mention every other Honeycomb tablet on the market. However, design alone does not a great tablet make. Read on to see how the Tab 10.1 stacks up against Apple's tablet and the rest of the Android field.Editors' Note: The Galaxy Tab we tested was a special limited edition given to attendees of Google's I/O conference. The general consumer version will have a different back, slightly different hardware, and will come with Samsung's TouchWiz interface and an updated versions of Samsung Apps. When that version is available, we'll post another full review.At 9.7 x 6.7 x 0.34 inches, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a little wider than the iPad 2 (9.5 x 7.3 inches), but it has the same thickness. In the weight department, the Tab is a hair lighter, coming in at 1.24 pounds to the iPad 2's 1.35 pounds.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (32GB)

This review is based on the limited-edition version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the Google I/O event. Expect an updated review of the full production version of the Tab 10.1 by its release on June 8. From a design perspective, no Android 3.0-based tablet has matched the iPad 2's no-nonsense aesthetic. The iPad 2 is sleek, sexy, thin, and light, with a minimalist design that eschews extra ports. Every Honeycomb tablet released so far has struggled to match that appeal. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the first Honeycomb tablet that is not only as thin as the iPad 2, but is actually lighter. Unfortunately, the limited Google edition makes an egotistical misstep on the device's back, but we're hoping the full release version won't repeat that mistake. The first thing that struck us upon taking the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 out of its box was its slim profile. In fact, when it's lying next to the iPad 2 we honestly can't tell which tablet is thicker and unfortunately we don't have a micrometer handy to get down into the business of microns.

While 2010 was undoubtedly the year of the Apple iPad, 2011 has a good chance of being the year that Android comes of age.The original 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab was the only major iPad competitor to be released in 2010, but it was hampered by the inclusion of Android 2.2 – very much an OS designed for mobile phones rather than tablets.However with the release of the tablet-tastic Android 3.0 this year, the iPad 2 is about to come up against some serious competition.Alongside the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V GT-P7100 that we have here, we're also expecting the imminent release of Android 3.0 tablets in the form of the Motorola Xoom, Asus Eee Pad Transformer (out now), Acer Iconia Tab A500 and LG Optimus Pad – not to mention the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. Different modelsTo clear up any confusion, there are actually two different versions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. There's the original version (read: the one that was announced first) – which is the one we have here – and a revised version.The original version was ditched in many territories before it even went into production, in favour of a slimmer, less highly spec'd version without the 8MP camera.
