It's pretty disappointing they didn't give this the resolution bump to 720p.

Price doesn't really seem competitive either.

I got an HTC Flyer last month and I love it. I'm not upgrading until I can get ICS and a 720 SAMOLED HD Plus display, or whatever Samsung calls it by then. As far as I'm concerned, my tablet is the perfect E-reader, web browser, and movie player. The only thing it needs is a higher res screen.

As someone who owns a 5" phone, 7" tablets are stupid. Either make it small enough to fit into your pocket, or large enough to have the consumer engage in a full experience... don't compromise by saying 7" is somewhere between 5" and 10" and people will like it. No one likes skimping on core ideologies. Make a 10" tablet but skimp on the hardware if you must; don't skimp on the experience.

My girlfriend carries around a Galaxy Tab 7 original and a dumbphone.

The Galaxy Tab 7 fits in her purse, and is absolutely amazing at all smartphone tasks like web browsing, and has a phenomenal battery life thanks to its big tablet battery.

The dumbphone has a battery life measured in days, or maybe even weeks, and has a really nice form-factor evolved from decades of market experience that's nice for talking on.

She hates 10" tablets because they aren't actually portable, they just sit at home on the coffee table.

Not everyone is you, and they have different needs and desires.

I'm sure there are some people who think that the 8.9" & 10.1" models are too big. Honeycomb gives a full user experience at 7", so why not give consumers that choice? I don't see any "skimping" here; Samsumg is going all out, if anything.

Isn't one of the benefits to Android... consumer choice?
