It's a simple tablet running Android with a gimmicky, proprietary connector.

Dude, come back to Earth.

Design quality is an entirely subjective metric. I will not argue which is 'better', but I will say this: there is more to hardware design than the enclosure, and Samsung has proved sound design in terms of high quality components and build-quality in their devices. The Galaxy Tab is no exception: it's a very well built device down to the choice of parts and its construction.

I will also add this: people's concept of quality seems biased incredibly towards what they immediately perceive. I'm not knocking Apple on quality by any means, I'm merely asserting that this is an area that they capitalize upon. If quality were measured by another metric, for example, Asus could conceivably rate #1 as according to one study they've been unmatched in terms of reliability for their laptops.

One last thing: for a person who hates this thread, you certainly read it a lot.....
