One cool new tidbit about the tablet, is that it still handles GSM calls!

This is not terribly surprising as the Samsung Stick (a bluetooth handset) has been officially announced to work with the device. It is nice however, that calls will not be restricted to VoIP for those that still call using standard telephony.

There are more pictures at the link, but it seems like a great size.

According to the article, the GSM review will be coming out shortly!
It can make phone calls... so I don't need to tether it... so I can ditch my phone if I wanted to.... Cool Beans!

Also check the comparison between 8.9 vs 10 vs iPad2. Seems like the only thing the iPad2 has going for it is the ~70,000 iPad Apps and the low-quality (250,000) iPhone Apps. http://blog.gsmarena.com/apple-ipad-...alaxy-tab-8-9/

It's a well-rounded tablet, if it comes in a Tegra2 package at afforable pricing I'm seriously considering it. And better yet if another model comes out with an active digitizer (N-Trig) and a transformer dock then "f*ck yea"
