The Samsung Galaxy Tablet (Galaxy Tab) is finally out, and it’s easily the most exciting tablet launch after the Apple iPad. Galaxy Tab is almost like a 7-inch version of the Galaxy S except for the Super AMOLED screen. Provided that Samsung gets the touch screen performance and response to match the Apple iPad, the Galaxy Tab has tremendous potential for success. Yes, we do sound biased, but we have a reason. Check the specifications and decide for yourself.
