Personally, I think that the Galaxy Tab looks so much better than the iPad. I prefer the 8.9″ one because it is small enough to fit anywhere, but yet it looks like it will be great for watching movies and shows! I can’t wait to get one! I know the first app that I will be downloading will be the DISH Remote Access app. As a customer and employee of DISH Network, I have been using this app on my Galaxy S phone and I always wanted a bigger screen to stream live TV and recordings to from my 922 SlingLoaded receiver. The iPad seems a little too big to take anywhere. So this is perfect! I hope that summer comes quickly, because I want one NOW!
