Samsung Galaxy Tab Is Not An iPad Killer

I just read the Samsung Galaxy Tab review at TechRadar and it doesn’t sound like Samsung has an iPad killer on their hands - “the Galaxy Tab is not as slick as we were hoping it would be. In fact, it’s not slick at all.”

According to TechRadar the Galaxy Tab suffers from:

• poor performance
• hyper-sensitive accelerometer
• poor battery life
• no WiFi version

Google admits that Android 2.2 OS is not optimized for tablets yet so this might be why the Galaxy Tab has a few problems. Maybe this is why the battery performance is so bad. In TechRadar’s testing the Tab only lasted 4 hours!

Samsung’s tablet also gives off a fair amount of heat. No wonder they went with a smaller screen than the iPad. I wonder how long the battery would last if the screen was the same size as the iPad’s? Cupertino has nothing to worry about yet.
