Rated 80% by by The Verge (Jun, 2011)The 1.24-pound Tab 10.1 feels lighter in hand than the 1.33-pound iPad; in actual use, however — holding it up to read, etc. — I'd say that weight difference isn't all that obvious.
Rated 100% by by bug (Apr, 2011)The sppd on 3g is great for me also and wonder how much more it could improve with 4g really.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 by Summerbreeze09 (Mar, 2012)The good things: The ablitiy to load pages from the web well, having falsh player, I can practically watch any movie file type, listen music, screen size, color and brightness are a big bonus.
Xoom with WiFi + 3G by P.-Feola--Mandrid-2008 (Apr, 2011)I like the size and how smooth it is when you change from display normal, longways and also upside down.
screen resolution
Galaxy Tab 10.1 by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)The sky isn't as vivid a blue as the real thing, and zooming-in on these shots shows they don't offer enough detail to print out at a decent size.
Xoom with WiFi + 3G by YARIE (Apr, 2011)I give xoom five stars for its well felt high build quality, which includes the high res screen, two high def cameras a, 2 speakers, and hdmi/future-sd interfaces.

brightness
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Jake-Pendergraph (Aug, 2011)I'll be honest...the transformer is probably the best display out there (that hasn't been artificially enhanced-Galaxy Tab 10.1) and let me tell you....this xoom...the one I'm typing on....looks just as good to me, minus the fact the screen can't get as awesomely and overly bright as the Asus.
screen
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 20% by by Sumo-Pixel--Sumo-Pixel (Mar, 2011)Just try to hold something as heavy as the Xoom with the your thumb and forefinger on one hand for minutes on end (your other hand will be busy touching the screen, so don't cheat and use two hands to hold it).
focus
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 60% by by Peter (Apr, 2011)Now will wait for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Sam-sung has a great deal of focus on picture quality.
