I think the Samsung needs a few more buttons. Good Lord, is that actually a product they expect anyone to buy?

The iPad's potential competitors are also crippled in functionality by having to use Windows. It's worth being called a fanboy or a cultist to not have to use that retarded system from Redmond. Just yesterday, my father in law was being befuddled by Windows deciding to save an email attachment somewhere on his C drive and only showing it on his desktop, where he'd indicated it be stored, as an alias. Not a big deal to right click and reveal where the file had been sprayed off to, but rather emblematic of the Bizzaro world approach to the user experience taken by Gates, Ballmer and Co.

BTW for everyone mentioning screen tech on this thread, the iPad uses backlit LED with interplane switching, not backlit LCD screen technology. Of course, OLED would be really nice, but blow the price point. Maybe in a few years' time.

Look at how it is being held. I think Samsung is trying to use the familiarity people have with hand held video games and game controllers to make an easy adaptation to their device.
