>Typing this on a GalaxyTab 10.1
>
>Only had it for 2 days. I will follow up with more later.

I've never understood the attraction to tablet computers. The reason I purchased one was because we have more and more customers who are asking us to integrate the devices. The reason I didn't buy an iPad (as a developer) should be obvious: If I write an application I shouldn't need Steve Job's blessing to get it on my customers' devices. With an Android device I am free to do whatever I want.

Here's my feedback on the GalaxyTab 10.1 after 4 days of use:

Pros:
Battery life rocks.

Instant On (unlike a netbook)

Screen is crystal sharp and gorgeous.

Ability to add USB device. This is a big advantage of Android over iPad from a developer's standpoint.


Cons:
10" is a little unwieldy. I think a 7" tablet would be a better size. I suspected this prior to purchasing the GalaxyTab 10.1, and I even considered getting the older GalaxyTab 7.1, but I really wanted to get a device with Android Honeycomb OS.

Tablets have no physical keyboard, so typing sucks (unless you dock it with a keyboard).

Tablets can't sit up like a netbook, so you have to hold them upright to be useful (or buy one of those fancy cases).

There aren't a ton of tablet specific apps in the Android Market.

Like every other device out there, using it in direct sunlight is, to say the last, challenging.


Summary:
I think this device is something that gets left around the house on a kitchen counter or on a sofa table and is used for casual internet browsing, reading news, and casual game playing. It's a "family" device that's super quick to pick up and put back down. In this respect it's a fantastic device. For doing anything "real" give me a regular laptop any day (of course).
