Looking forward to your exhaustive review. As an early adopter of many products, I’ve hesitated on both the iPad and the Galaxy Tab(Sprint). My first in-store test of the iPad just felt right as far as usability. However, the primary deterrent for me was it’s lack multitasking and Adobe Flash. Secondary was a lack of cameras and expandable storage. As a standard user, the iPad delivers a true “magical” experience that Apple is a mater at delivering. As a power user, though, I simply expected a more full-featured.

I’ve tested the Galaxy Tab three times – two times in Best Buy and one in a Sprint Store. The first two tests left me somewhat disappointed in comparison to my initial test with the iPad. The user experience just did not feel the same. Perhaps it was because at Best Buy(Verizon version), they had just set it up and maybe some updates were downloading in the background. The swiping feature appeared rather choppy and apps slow to launch. On a whim, I stopped by the Sprint store yesterday and tested it again and the experience felt much better. Even though I had resigned to waiting until a true tablet optimized experience(Honeycomb) to come to Android tablet devices, I actually left the store yesterday wondering if I am making the right decision by waiting. Angry Birds on the 7″ form factor with such a super crisp display felt – well- magical!

Again, I am eager to review your findings.
