Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9: pictures and hands-on
Galaxy Tab 8.9 hands-on Read Article >As far as software goes, everything I said in the original TouchWiz UX hands-on remains true - there are some helpful tweaks (notably the expanded QuickPanel), but with all the homescreens wallpapered with widgets, there's some obvious lag. Off the bat, I'm going to say it's a nice tablet for those wanting something in between all the 7-inch and 10-inch options, but the $469 price point seems like overload. I'd say $400 would have been a perfect price for it.
