Well I did say the new generation. The Tab 7.7 has a 1.4Ghz CPU vs. the iPad 2's 0.9-1.0 depending on who you ask. Plus with more RAM and better wireless connectivity (on both the 3G and non-3G models) even if it's the same price you get more power for the same money (or you can step down and get the same power for less).

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 (current) has the same CPU, twice the RAM, better connectivity, a higher resolution screen, and seven times the battery life for music playback, not to mention better format support and better cameras, for slightly less (£10-£20) at reputable retailers. At less reputable retailers (eBay, grey imports, etc.) it's £100 to £200 cheaper. And it supports flash, and doesn't restrict you to just the apps Apple choose to approve. And can play full HD without needing to be pre-converted. All that and that's before we start looking at the next-gen models, or cheaper Android alternatives.

Oh and you can actually make mobile phone calls with it.
