I remember hearing about this Samsung Galaxy tablet to compete with the Apple iPad...

30% lighter than the Ipad

Ha ha - that's probably because the iPad is made from solid gold!!

for me I love the iPAD (with Universal 3G - works worldwide) and the UI experience with 'touch' feature is no-comparable with ease and speed of use.

To make it IDEAL/BESTHING for me would need to have the ONE MAJOR feature missing = Ability to make VOICE CALLS (in short - ADD a phone feature)

I would think adding a PHONE would be easy as slice bread! The GALAXY that I had for a month+ to play around (before public release) had the PHONE feature INCLUDED and had Skype to boot! For me ability to make calls since I travel ALOT! (From and to anyone anywhere is paramount)
Having the phone on the SAME ONE DEVICE that I GO TO OFTEN and FIRST! since its all niucely interlinked; Phone rings - ringtone is one of the Mp4/3 songs/video that is stored. If I wanted to review any WORD/PDF document(s) which was on an EMAIL (accessible real-time) can be done while on call .............and when all is done; put the seat back and lay off watchin a movie and sleep in long flights ! heavenly device at last. Have it all done on a 10-11in screen and light and 'trendy device' as IPAD = pure bliss!

having used Ipad successfully for months instead of my Army of Thinpads (work demos and presentations etc) is a lots less 'baggage' to carry and maintain.....

or maybe - maybe Lenovo(comeon BIG BLUE) take a lead and do one with Windows/Linux OS and be that LEADER again !

but ,,,,,,,,
am for one am KEENLY looking forward to the PUBLIC RELEASE of a DEVICE that has current IPAD+3/4G features with an GSM phone > hope mr Jobs does read my review here and else where <heres to wishing an early Xmass!>

Cheers everyone
