I hope so too. Unlike Motorola that rushed the XOOM to launch, I seriously hope that Sammy really gets down and polishes the final product. The form factor looks gorgeous and the specs should be great as well, making this quite a gem among products.

While 8.9" may too large to straddle with most people's fingers, it is so thin and light, that I doubt it will make a large difference in the end. Of course, you can't just jam it in your pocket like the Tab 7, but it should be comfortable to hold with one hand and use with the other.

Interestingly, the lack of tapering edges, may have allowed Samsung to sneak a larger batter in this unit. I also wonder if there's some new battery tech at play.

Anyway, I'm sure all questions will be answered later today!
