Tablet S or Galaxy Tab 10.1?

[cmscritic]

I'm on the fence about either a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or a Tablet S.. right now they are priced about the same but the local store is doing a free set of Sony earbuds and case with the Tablet S.

Would love to hear opinions as to which is the best option. I like the unique look of the Tablet S so far.

I had the Samsung and sold it to buy the Sony. The Sony is much more comfortable to use and its design is fantastic. It also benefits from a full size SD card slot and in my opinion a better screen. You also have the latest OS update on the Sony at Android 3.2.

They are both excellent devices but I just feel the Sony edges it with the comfort factor which is especially good in portrait.

Bought the 10.1 about 4-5 days before the Sony came out, I traded it in on a whim and I'm glad I did. I love my Sony more than I did my 10.1, the size of the Sony feels more right, even in bigger hands.

I sold my rooted Xoom & chose the Tablet S also, it's suppose to be delivered tomorrow or Thurs. The only negative is that the Tablet S hasn't been rooted yet. I plan on testing it out, & if I REALLY miss root, I may sell it & get the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

You are in a Sony forum, so consider that while weighing the answers given.

I have both, and what has aggravated me about the Samsung 10.1 is that they insisted on copying the iPad (good and bad features) as close as possible. No memory expansion. A propietary dock port. Etc.. The Sony S is original, thoughtful, has IR emitter, and an ergonomic shape. I prefer the S for those reasons.

Yeah honestly despite the appearance that Sony just made it look weird for the sake of being unique I cant praise the shape of the tablet enough. It is imo a feature worth being a deciding factor, the tablet just feels so "right" in your hand. The Galaxy is a fine tablet having used it quite a bit but no way would I trade my S Tab for it.

I was at the library today using a corded Laser mouse connected to my S. Love the hardcore computer aspect of it! host port makes it a complete computing device...

Start the same thread in SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 Section !!!
You will see the difference in opinion...IMO, Sony S is better than Samsung Tab in looks(unique), PS games, better UI, SD Slot !!!
What I don't like is the Sound Output..

Can't wait for it to get rooted either, just to get rid of the customised icons if nothing else!

On topic, the IR remote and Play Station certification swung it for me.
