Two key reviews ...
Over the last week or so, the Galaxy Tab has been heavily reviewed, with no clear consensus apparent either way. To paraphrase a number of evaluations, it may be the best Android tablet yet, but who cares? It's still not quite as good as an iPad.
The two reviews that arguably had the biggest impact were the David Pogue review in the The New York Times and the Walter Mossberg review in The Wall Street Journal. Both reviews were fairly positive, with the high price seen as the only major stumbling block by Pogue.
"Samsung sweated the details on this thing," writes Pogue in the Times. "The screen is gorgeous. The touch response is immediate and reliable. The whole thing is superfast and a pleasure to use."
Both reviews praise the performance and display, as well as Galaxy Tab features that were left off the iPad. These include voice to text dictation, multitasking capabilities, an SD slot, a second camera, and support for Adobe Flash. That said, each reviewer encountered some problems with Flash, and even greater difficulties with the Galaxy Tab's Qik videoconferencing software.
