Re: iPad 2 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab vs Other Tablets

Like I said, try and have a play with one if you can, along with the Tab etc.

I would have also said to consider whether you want 3G or not, but you seem to have already decided against it? [Which, IMO, is probably the best decision - on the rare occasions I don't have WiFi I can simply tether my iPad to my phone... you should be able to do the same, AFAIK. I don't think 3G is worth the extra £100]

Do you definitely need 32GB, or do you think you'd get away with 16GB?

Also, how is the battery life on the Dell? (How many hours?)

That's less than half the battery life of the iPad 2.
