Doesn't the iPad(2) require iTunes? It doesn't just show up a a hard drive if you plug it in does it? In other words, additional software is required to transfer files (just like the complaint about honeycomb requiring additional software).

Anyway, the review did bring up a point I missed earlier, and a quick google seems to confirm it.

The Tab 10.1 only has a docking connector, it does NOT have a microsd card slot, or usb, hdmi unless you're using a dongle (to be released later)?

One of the things I really liked about android devices was that many (or at least the ones I'd consider) had the option of expandable storage via microsd. I'd prefer full sized sd, but that's another story. That's a big strike against the Tab 10.1 (for me) when other tablet have that option with similar hardware. I presume (without googling) that the 8.9 will suffer the same lack. Compound that with all the ports being on a dongle (that will need to be purchased separately) and I don't see myself getting a Galaxy Tab (for at least this generation).
