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
From a functional standpoint, I think it's somewhat silly to make these changes. However, from market standpoint, it may be necessary to do *something* to remain more competitive. The public is so very impressed with these types of things.

I sincerely doubt that they can get to 8.8mm of thinness, without seriously re-designing the unit. However, they may be able to close the 2.1mm gap to a more palatable 1.1mm -- I can't believe I just wrote that!

Interestingly, comments like these make for good PR. I sometimes wonder if these types of things are tactical moves rather than blunders. Surely, SJ does this frequently.
