First impressions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab are very positive!
For all those choosing a tablet - don't just look at the specs alone. The Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with a really good set of customised apps which really suit the larger screen size.
The email client is great. In landscape mode you get a list of emails in the left pane, and the full email of the currently selected email in the right pane. Switch the portrait mode and these two panes are toggled between.
Other apps such as the browser benefit from the larger screen, having extra icons across the top near the address bar - such as to open up a list of favourites.
So while I was expecting a bigger version of stock Android, what Samsung have delivered seems to be more than that. It is clear they have put some thought into its useability.
I also have the keyboard docking station which is excellent.
Only criticism is the short USB cable the Tab comes with for charging. Battery life is excellent however.
