screen just half the size. You do get a couple of cameras, though – 3MP back and 1.3MP front – as well as the latest Android OS 2.2 Froyo running on Cortex A8 a 1GHz CPU.

I can’t guess how this will go. Samsung has, after all, sold five million of its Galaxy S phones in just three months, and many people will surely appreciate the pocket-ability of the smaller form-factor. On the other hand, the iPad can now be had on Verizon for around the same price, although you do have to use the MiFi hotspot to get Verizon 3G.

One thing is certain. The Galaxy Tab is the first really viable alternative to the iPad, and it will show us if the non-nerd public is willing to buy tablets in general like they do cellphones, or if they are only interested in Apple’s, as happened with its dominant iPad market. We’ll see soon enough.
