By the by, all... I have to tell you that having TWO Androids on my long two-day train ride (four days, if you count going and coming back) was definitely worth it. My Droid was reporting my progress to Goole Latitude for my family and friends to see, and it's where I usually read and posted my progress and observations on Facebook with the new and improved Facebook app--also, it was my telephone! Meanwhile, my Galaxy Tab was where I tended to do more of my TV viewing, Internet browsing and other things to occupy my time.

On the train, at Chicago's Union Station and everywhere else I showed up--EVERYONE kept asking me about it. Usually, it started out with something like, 'Hey--is that one of those new iPads?' And then I go into a, 'Nope! It's the brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab that just came out a few days ago. In my opinion, far better because it fits in my pocket (which I show them).'

Best of all was getting all the use-cases that people had for it. My favorite was a guy at Union Station that looked at it and said it would be an EXCELLENT replacement for the laptop he's currently using to do college schoolwork. He wanted something THAT portable to be able to take notes, track schedules, do dictation and so on.

Anyway, in the end, I used the Tab almost continuously the entire vacation and it worked spectacularly and freed my Droid up to have a far longer battery life for phone calls and text messaging.
