| Did you check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab?
| 
| My friend bought a week or two ago, it looks like a great device and
| alternative to the Ipad as well.

No.  It is more expensive than the iPad and not better for my
purposes.

- I don't want (to pay for) phone capabilities

- I prefer the 10" form factor over the 7".  That could change.

- the iPad has 28% more pixels

- the iPad is more mature

+ the Galaxy Tab is probably more open

+ the Galaxy Tab has a few more hardware features (camera, microSD
  slot, and perhaps others)

+ the Galaxy Tab is more open I think

+ the Galaxy Tab can run Flash (I don't really want to)
