I dunno... the tapering make it hard to really tell.
It's like the Galaxy Tab 7 being called 'thick' when compared to the original iPad despite it clearly being thinner. Sometimes it's all in the shape.

Here's the question: is Sammy the only major player to target this market with this class of device?
RIM seems to have abandoned the enterprise with the playbook... Even the name seems targeted towards the average consumer. It's as if RIM is trying to separate itself from the enterprise.
Apple is clearly targeting the general consumer with the iPad. Motorola, HP et. al. seem to also target this segment.
Who's left?
There's tons of money to be made over generations of devices (by virtue of being adopted), and I bet that Samsung knows it -- RIM exploits this characteristic. Differentiating the Tab sizes is a brilliant move as they have an in for the enterprise without compromising the Tab brand.
Were I a CEO, this would make a compelling solution.

I'm not sure what Google's strategy is, but it seems to be giving all major players a bit of love for flagship devices. I don't think that they're restricting this to the top-most echelon, but they are certainly restricting this to the top-most stratum of industry heavyweights.
But I agree, this is needed in business. It's a niche surprisingly sorely under represented... until now.

Here's a peak at the US Galaxy Tab 8.9:
http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-...nch-us-version
Much like the Euro version that was previewed Ad nauseam during todays event, this device is sleek. The notable difference seems to be the material on the back -- it's not textured, but easier to grip.
Follow the link for plenty of shots.

So what's the difference between 8.9 and 10.1 version, other than the screen size and battery capacity?
And btw.... goodness, couldn't (and shouldn't) they just round the model numbers as Tab 9 and Tab 10.

I get it.. it's to establish numerical superiority...
I can imagine the iterations... Tab2, Tab2 8.9 and Tab2 10.1... by then they'll probably have figured out another optimal form factor: Tab 6.3.
Looking at this set of model names, I think Jobs may have stuck with a single form factor for iPad just to stay away from all this confusion.

I too get confused with things being different sizes. Look at phones - why aren't they all the same size? Laptops. Even desktops come in different sizes.
Not only are they different sizes with in a group, but each group contains things that are wildly different in size to other groups. Why isn't everything the same size?!
I appreciate it would introduce some ergonomic difficulties if cars and mobile phones were the same size, but at least it would put an end to all the confusion.
