Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Reviews

Phandroid
"Samsung has achieved an engineering feat so impressive that I can’t imagine going with any of their competitors until they match them."
The Verge
"The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the thinnest tablet yet and doesn't sacrifice battery life for the trim dimensions. Should the iPad be scared?"
CNET
"Sleek, sexy, and light, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 gets as close to the iPad 2 as any Android tablet before it."
Engadget
"When we met with Samsung in late May, company representatives didn't seem entirely sure that the company would meet the rumored June 8th ship date here in the US, but lo and behold, it's done just that."
Tech Radar
"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."
Pocket Lint
"With the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the size and form factor of tablets are finally set in stone."
PCMag
"The Wi-Fi–only Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the thinnest Honeycomb tablet available, and it's very capable, but its Touchwiz UI means Android updates are in doubt."
