Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)In our video test, where we disabled Wi-Fi and set the brightness to auto in a fairly well-lit room, it lasted for 8 hours 49 minutes playing a standard def file.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by Kenneth-Tham (Jun, 2011)While one should commend Apple's iPad for expanding the market for tablet devices, it's pretty clear that Android tablets will ultimately overtake the iPad, just as Android smartphones have already overtaken the iPhone - competition is good, and consumers clearly like the variety of devices available from multiple Android vendors.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 80% by by J.-Lax--FunnyFreakingCallsIf you have an Android Phone and are debating which Android Tablet to buy, STOP THINKING ABOUT IT NOW, and get the Galaxy which is far and away a monumentally superior product than all previous Android tablets.
Screen
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 60% by by pseudoty (Jun, 2011)Pros: Excellent display it realy gives you the wow factor for brightness and contrast out of the box.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by Alexandru-Malos (Jul, 2011)The screen is beautiful and it controls resolution/brightness automatically.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by Loudog (Jul, 2011)Screen quality: they are both imo just as nice but the tab is suppose to have the better screen on paper but its a toss up really.
Apps
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 73% by by c|net (Aug, 2011)Apple still has superior support for games, apps, music, and movies.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by Manik-Tyagi (Jun, 2011)Much better then iPad if you leave the currently available apps out of the picture(in particular Netflix), I presume as far as the apps are concerned it's only a matter of time before android tablet apps catch up with iPad tablet apps in terms of numbers.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by Mashuqur-Rahman (Jun, 2011)Amazon Cloud Player: I am loving streaming music from the Amazon Cloud.
Operating system
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)Aside from the widescreen form factor, every part of this sleek Android Honeycomb 3.1 tablet's look is geared to go head-to-head with Apple's iOS big boy.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 80% by by J.-Peters (Jul, 2011)After owning all 3, I have to say that I just really like Android more than iOS.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by William-Greenrose--narcnh (Jun, 2011)Honeycomb has a nice, small footprint, unlike some other OSs.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by Scott-A.-Krueger--INTEC-Automated-ControlsBut it adds the Media Hub that the Droid Charge uses, so the Movies I got for my Charge are now on my Tab, WooHoo!
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 40% by by Anonymous (Nov, 2011)When I plug in my tablet to re-charge, I must let it sit for many hours, overnight, sometimes 10 hours.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB | Rated 100% by by William-Greenrose--narcnh (Jun, 2011)Even so, I'd say the battery life is pretty good and more than sufficient for a day's work (and probably play).
