Does this mean that Samsung is going to slim down the Tab 10.1, and reduce the price? This just got very interesting...

I was very surprised when I read that comment. It came across as honest and pretty candid.

If they manage to make the necessary 'corrections' and ship the 10" tab to 'beat' iPad 2 in those mentioned aspects then my hats off to Samsung.

Otherwise, those comments would sound really really silly

As long as the weight is in an acceptable range, I'd rather a tablet (particularly a large non pocket-able one feel a little sturdier (thicker). Otherwise, I'd always be worried about cracking the screen.

I have the iPad and the viewsonic G-Tablet. The flimsy and low quality material on the G-Tab doesn't help it feel any more sturday, despite its thicker and bulkier form factor compared to the iPad.

I think (sufficiently) rigid materials and good build quality (how parts fits well together, good weight distribution, etc) would give the 'sturdy' feel.
