The almost 9 inch version of the Tab went on sale today at Best Buy for $469 (16GB). They had them on Friday but they wouldn't sell me one. Playing by the rules.
It's a little hard to justify buying one if you already have a
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It's only slightly different in size and weight. It's exactly the same thickness. But I'm looking for a tablet that is the best remote. I use Gizmo, of course.
I like it. It's a better size for a remote. Maybe I'll feel differently in a few days, but the screen is still plenty big, and the device is easier to hold in one hand.
It has a different user interface than the 10.1. It's Samsung's own and it's good. I need a few days more to know how I feel.
It's Android 3.1.
Picture attached, with the 10.1 for comparison. The 10.1 is very close to the size of an iPad.
