Samsung did it again. After their success with Samsung Galaxy S mobile phone series, they now come up with an amazingly thin 10.1″ Android tablet that top their previous 7″ Android tablet in every aspects. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7150) is now the thinnest and lightest Android tablet out there, even thinner and lighter than Ipad 2.
I just ordered mine 2 days ago, which should arrive today, so I’ll try to do a quick review of it once I got the product. Meanwhile, take a look at the commercial video ads below and the full specification at the bottom.

I got mine from Amazon for $499. It is packed with 16GB internal storage memory. The 32GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is little more expensive with the retail price of $599. Best Buy and some other retail stores also have them in stock; however, I highly recommend you to buy it online. You might ask “Why?? I want it NOW.” Well…if you can’t resist the urge, I can’t stop you. But if you want to save some money, you would better off buying it online. By buying online, you don’t have to pay taxes. For example, if you buy it from Best Buy, you would be charged $35.63 more for taxes. If you buy from Amazon, you can save $35.63. Plus, if you are an Amazon Prime member like me, you can get it in 2 days for free.
Learning from ASUS Eee Pad Transformer’s experience where many stores were running out of stock very quickly, I suggest you to get your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 soon. Not to mention, there’s also a possibility where Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be thicker than iPad 2 due to the shortage of thin GFI display. (via Source)
