Just got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, any questions?
Samsung just sent me one to check out for a couple of weeks, would be happy to try and answer any questions you might have it about it!
How bad is it compared to the iPad? Just kidding.
In your mind, how does it compare to the rest of the Tablets on the market? I know many reviewers have said that it's *the* Android tablet - is it?

Does it have TouchWiz or not? I put in my preorder this morning, and I'm assuming it doesn't have TouchWiz because everything I've read has said it will be a later download. But what scares me is that Samsung hasn't said if it will be an optional download. I REALLY don't want it, as I ALWAYS prefer the plain Android experience.
I'm not very familiar with Honeycomb, but can you tell if the Honeycomb on the Tab is untouched by Samsung?

It does not have TouchWiz. The only customizations Samsung has made to Honeycomb are very minor, like in terms of wallpapers and the keyboard (which can be easily switched the stock Honeycomb version). There may be some other small things, but I don't see much of a difference between this and other tablets I've used that have stock Honeycomb.
I tried both. I had to update the Music app before I could access the online service, but once I did it worked. Used the browser-based version and it worked the same as on a PC. One thing I noticed is that songs would start playing slightly faster in the browser than in the app.
From what little hands-on I have had with it, I really like the 7" Tab. The size and weight are about perfect for my taste. Any thoughts on how the 7" and 10" compare, especially in terms of viewing resolution? I have good eyes, so I don't mind things being tiny on the screen as long as I can see a lot of what's there at a time and still read the font.
I'm a fan of the 7-inch Tab as well. I like the size, and despite the handwringing from a lot of commenters about it running the "phone" version of Android, I found that the OS and apps scaled fairly well for that screen size. No, it wasn't perfect, but it worked better than many people gave it credit for.
So with respect to the 7 vs the 10.1, the screen on the 7 has slighter higher pixel density (170 ppi vs 150 ppi), and I found it to be acceptable for reading ebooks (which is sort of the litmus test, right?).

Apparently Samsung is going to release an adapter, found on their site: www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/E...
There will be a adapter fot HDMI and USB, aswell as a adapter for sd cards

So I would not buy this tablet for its cameras. (I wouldn't buy the iPad for its cameras either.) The pics I've taken are ok, but I wouldn't see any reason to take a picture with the Galaxy Tab if I had my phone with me (which definitely takes better photos).
It can do 720p video, but again, it's nothing special.

How about Google Voice integration, does it exist at all? What about Google Docs?
Are there any limitations to Google Docs, or is the normal version as you would see using the Chrome Browser?
