Review
Galaxy Tab’s Android interface is fabulous. It is smaller than iPad. Due to the Android Market you will never get bored of this device. As it supports Adobe Flash you can watch online videos, the thing absent in iPad but the overall web browsing is sluggish. In the very expensive gadget like Galaxy Tab you have excepted more than it has.
Verdict: 7/10
