Fast Facts – Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet
What is it?
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is an Android tablet with a 7-inch, 1024x600-pixel touchscreen. It's running Android 2.2 Froyo, has Wi-Fi, HSDPA, Bluetooth 3.0 and DLNA networking.
Why should I want it?
Because this may be the first true iPad competitor (and we know how many of you are anti-Applists these days). It has front and rear cameras for video calling, with a 3MP job and LED flash on the back, which is one in the eye for the 'Pad. It'll also have Flash 10.1 – do you hear that, Apple?
So what's it actually like?
We're getting our grubby paws on one today, so keep an eye out for first impressions and hands-on pics very soon.
UPDATE We've put some wildlife shots on this page for now, but we'll be getting some proper hands-on time with the Galaxy Tab tomorrow, so check back then for video action.

Seems nice. I almost bought a galaxy phone. The screen was incredible and the ui was pretty slick. The build quality was awful. The flimsy back just clicks off so a 2 year contract on something made like that is a no go for me so I went for the predictable iPhone. This tablet does look good but I wonder if it has the quality of the iPad. In the uk we seem obsessed with price and seem to ignore the quality. My iPad gets a battering, not kept in a case and it's still immaculate. This may cost less but if it's made of nasty cheap plastic then it's a false economy (isn't it?).
