Indeed! At 7" with a higher resolution, the Dell Streak would be a major contender to the Tab for me. It seems like a well built device and has gotten tons of praise! Plus it has WAN capability, which is a requisite for me.

I wonder why many (most IMO) companies can't seem to get-it-right with hardware design. Even if they were to mimic a company that has made good decisions, it would be better than nothing.

Good design is a major reason I'm stoked for the Tab -- Samsung has proven that they know how to craft a good experience, and a wonderfully balanced device with the S. Previews of the Tab have been tremendously positive, which is inspiring. I feel confident that when I use the device I will genuinely enjoy my experience rather than to perpetually dream of the potential.

The screen is nice with wonderful viewing angles. The capacitive touch is supposed to be superb. The speed of the UI and the main processor are more than satisfactory. The battery life is amazing. While I occasionally become tempted by a Tegra tablet on the horizon, I remember that processor speed is just one spec, and it takes far more than speed to leave me feeling satisfied with the experience.
