Samsung Galaxy Tab is better

Samsung GTab has front and rear facing camera.
And most importantly, It is a phone as well while i-pad is just a glorified pc just for browsing.
Guys, dont get fooled..

You cannot multitaskwith ipad. You can only do one task at a time. If you want to surf the web and type into a document, you can’t. You need to exit one and then open the other.

-No flash support. Enjoy the web without much of its content!

-Doesn’t use a real operating system, like Windows or Mac OSX. It runs like an iPhone, not a laptop.

-It doesn’t have an SD card slot or USB slot. You want to load all your photos and music on it? You need to buy a special dongle and attach it to the iPad. Ah yes, that’s convenient and cost-effective.

-You need to lay it flat and look straight down at it to type on it. It’s not like a netbook or laptop where the keyboard is flat and the screen is in front of your face.

-You can buy a keyboard accessory — you can spend extra money to turn a low-power netbook-type tablet into a non-portable desktop computer. Meanwhile there are products like Lenovo U1 Hybrid where you can slip the tablet into a netbook shell and turn it into a portable, foldable laptop.
Fact is, tablets have been around forever and the mainstream market didn’t want them. Just because they’ve slapped an Apple logo on it, should people suddenly want it?

you are missing the point, I already have tons of apps for iphone, the beauty about ipad is the apps that people have developed for it, I am going to get one for my son knowing that how much he loves iphone for playing educational software.

iPad has multitasking, flash. and Gtab doesn't have Keyboard either. Why are you arguing for namesake. Your points are all incorrect.

Now this comment itself proves that you have nothing to talk on functionality and features, and whatever flaw you mentioned above are make-believes. That is why you are now arguing on societal perceptions rather than facts.

In case you have an older version , then update iOS to 4.2 or later. It has multitasking bar.

And yes, i completely agree that those who can, should wait for iPad2 , just three more months wait.

Apple got the pricing correct this time
by Srikanth Lakshminarayana on Jan 28, 2011 10:55 AM

I think the pricing is spot on for ipad, considering iphone debut was also around the same price.
Looks like iPAD will have a lion's share in Indian market
