How portable the projector has to be? I am a teacher who would seriously consider buying one unit if I could use it for a decent, couple of hours Power Point presentation for my students.
Thanks in advance.

Ain't Android grand? Here's an online keyboard that implements Grafiti (think Palm OS of old):

Wow I love that. If I was loaded (and lived in a safer neighbourhood lol) I would definitely get that mod.
Ah, my apologies. I just read this on Wikipedia:
Essentially the Galaxy Tab is listed as having "BT3", but not "BT3 +HS", so it seems that it won't be able to take advantage of 802.11 network for high bandwidth transport.
The bottom line? For the best audio, get a good pair of corded headphones. If you must go wireless, get a good pair of cans that have their own transmitter.
If you're not *that* picky about audio quality, try to find a good BT set. But based on what I've heard, you'll spend a lot of money for a fundamentally flawed product. I'd stick with the corded headsets to be safe.
Nice though the Tab is, the UI isn't perfect. See http://twitpic.com/39t8jt
Which button do I push?
Here's a pretty nice case for the Tab!

Check it out!
Here's an app called Twonky, that adds DLNA and UPnP support to Android devices. I've heard that the built-in DLNA app doesn't work all the time, and this one may actually increase compatibility!

A powerful feature indeed!
For those that don't know, the Galaxy Tab supports bluetooth keyboards *and* mice out of the box:

NOTE: It seems that the Verizon Tab is gimped for BT keyboards. Verizon seems to gimp a lot of things and should probably be avoided.
Indeed. The only downside to the Gamboid emulator on the Tab is the shoulder buttons are barely accessible! It would be nice if there was an option to position them lower.
It would be nice if emulators had controller 'skins'

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.

I have two headsets that work GREAT for me...
Overall, my favorite is still my Motorola S305 bluetooth headset. They sound pretty good and they work GREAT for phone calls too. Callers tell me they hear me better with these than they do when I just use my phone. They appears to work great with both my Motorola Droid and with my Samsung Galaxy Tab alike.
The other pair I really like, out of my collection of bluetooth headsets, is my Samsung SBH600 Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headset. They suck miserably at phone calls (the microphones are terrible) but the audio quality for listening to music or podcasts is incredibly good! PLUS, this headset can also with with a 3.5mm plug as well, so it's not JUST for Bluetooth and can use them with my Nintendo DS, in addition to the Androids.
You know--I kept reading that it supported BT mouse and keyboards, and I could never get mine to do it.. and I didn't see anything about Verizon gimping it up, but I can certainly confirm that mine will pair with my BT keyboards and mice, but it refuses to USE them. Anyone know if there's a way to get the Verizon version of the Tab to support them?
