I have an ipad but I'm hearing many good things about the galaxy tab including sim card slot for internet and calls, and it can fit in pocket. Anybody here with one and what are your thoughts/review?

BBI will solve it :)

They are just both big versions of iPhone and Android phones(without call functionality)

The Tab has call functionality, but looks ridiculous once you raise it to your ear, it has smaller screen compared to the Ipad, but still, its a welcome alternative to the ipad, similar if not superior functionality, but in terms of actual 'wow' factor plus multimedia capability, the ipad is superior.

IMO, stick to the Ipad.

What about the US$100 Generic Android Tablets? They give you most of the functionality of an iPad at one fifth of the price. Sure the iPhone is a little sleeker, but for five times the price? I'm shocked and amazed that everyone on this thread hasn't flown KQ direct to Guangzhou and bought as many as they could for double what they paid, all over the country.

Touchscreen, Wi-Fi, SD Card Slot, built-in memory, bluetooth, mic, camera, speaker, audio in and out and the wide range of Android Apps out there for 8000 Ksh? Come on Wazuans! Not everything has to be a US name brand! All this stuff is made in the same factories in China!

Go get this stuff and set up your stores and outsell the merchants! Young Money!

@Jasonhill, i agree with you. Most of these items are assembled in China, with time they have come to understand the technology used. GE realised this too and they have shifted most of their operations to China. US is becoming less of a frontier in technological advancement as compared to India and China.....

Andriod still hasn't released an os specifically for pads...all these andriod products use the same os as for phones. This has issues with screen resolution etc.

As for me, ipad2 is coming, rumored to be announced on 9 Feb...I cant wait....now if only ios4 could run flash, I'd have everything I want!

Do you really know the gadget or you're just guessing? Of course it would look ridiculous if you put the entire gadget on your ear and I guess that's why they added external connections for calling (earphones and mic).

On another note I think I'll take Kularaha's advice and await the ipad2. I hope they have an option of the Android size, I love how it fits in my jeans pocket. Any idea on who might be selling the accessories especially leather cover/s)

Remember a smart innovation called 'a bluetooth headset?'

Both IPad & Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab call functionality can be used in a quiet environment using the external speakers+in-built microphone for a conversation.
