    Real competition to the iPad is Android in general, not single device of any manufacturer. Variety of designs will allow certain Android tablets to fill specific niches and quick real evolution (market selection of the fittest vs. one thought out model per year iPad) will result in designs users really want vs. what Apple expects or pushes on them.
    This one in particular targets niche between iPod touch and iPad, but dozens other will crop up in the same space and the strongest will win.
    I see end users as winners as Apple too will not be able to cripple-design as when it started tablet as monopoly (lack of industry standard interface: USB; ban [already weakened] on app design methods,…).

    @ECA Your post came while I was typing mine… I completely agree, EntourageEdge addresses what I want in the tablet best so far.
    Notice how Apple simply can’t compete with so diverse designs covering so diverse needs as Galaxy and EntourageEdge yet those have the same basic “DNA” of Androd.

    I really like this device, but I’m a bit apprehensive with respect to how bad the carriers are going to hose things up.

    Too bad the price is wrong for it though, I had high hopes for it.

    The T-Mobile pricing is going to be $399 on 2 yr contract after a $50 MIR. Price without a contract is $649.

    I gave up waiting for Sammy getting it together in the pricing field when I saw the euro price at more than $1,000 USD without contract. Bought the $499 iPad to go with my Nexus One. Free tethering with T-Mo for me.

    I’m not going to pay 2,000 for two years of internet connections for this machine. My kindle does wifi.

    Notice the battery goes down half. Something to think about while filming an ad.

    I’ve seen it listed as low as £600‎ without a contract in Europe. The $200-$400 prices suggested by Samsung for the US are all with contracts. You couldn’t sell a dog in the US without a 2 year contract from a carrier.

    This thing has the same 2 problems my Galaxy-S has: Samsung and T-Mobile.

    I want to like it, I really do. But I’m getting very tired of rebooting my phone every time I use the GPS.

    #10: +1, massively overpriced.

    In Australia, the 16GB version will be AUD999 (USD984 at current market rates). For comparison, a 3G 64GB iPad is priced at AUD1050.

    ($hunk of crap > $Apple) ==> Epic fail.

    Apple will sell millions of tablets next year. I predict that this thing will fail and they will sit around wondering why nobody wants tablets and complaining that the market isn’t mature yet.

    Accessorizing completely makes the ensemble.
