I will be buying an Android Tablet as soon as more of them are available and I can make an educated decision. The Samsung Galaxy Tablet looks awesome. The size is just about right. I am currently using my Evo phone for browsing the internet when I am away from my computer, but it is too small. I tried an iPad at the Apple store and it was fast and provided tons of apps, but I don’t like the environment that you are forced to play in. I like a more open platform such as I think Android will provide.

Hardware specs
Android 2.2 running TouchWiz 3.0
7-inch TFT LCD with 1024 x 600 resolution (WSVGA)
Weighs 380 grams
1GHz Cortex A8 processor
16GB or 32GB internal storage
microSD expansion for up to 32GB additional storage
Front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera and rear 3 megapixel camera with flash
4,000mAh battery
3G data / voice (there’s a speakerphone and Bluetooth for phone calls, but no earpiece)
5GHz dual-band 802.11n WiFi
Standard back color is white, carriers might offer different colors
Full HD video playback
There’s a 30-pin dock connector on the bottom that allows for HDMI, USB, and docking accessories (a car dock at least is planned)

AVG Technologies, developers of the world’s most popular free anti-virus software, today announced a limited public beta test of its new online tool, AVG Threat Labs. Designed to help consumers combat criminal elements on the Web, Threat Labs is an innovative online information portal that merges the quantitative Web threat detection data that AVG routinely collects from its almost 100 million users with data from AVG’s LinkScanner technology.

AVG users with LinkScanner already installed are protected in real-time from sites containing malware. Threat Labs complements this software by enabling the user to type in the URL of a specific Web site to gather more information. Users not currently using AVG software still benefit from visiting Threat Labs as this unique tool provides an instant and complete safety analysis of a Web site including detection statistics, a detection timeline, an analysis of linked sites and a detection map. AVG’s Threat Labs augments AVG’s existing free, downloadable anti-virus software and enhances the company’s unique “people powered protection” approach to security.

A much better video of the Samsung Android 2.2 Tablet. Video shows the tablet’s capabilities and speed. The tablet comes with web browsing, maps, and it is equipped with Android 2.2, WCDMA 3G networks, 802.11n WiFi, 16:10 screen, and front camera. It takes a second for the video to show up.

The Samsung Galaxy tablet looks great. Has Android 2.2 and is 7″. Pretty good size. I am viewing webpages on my Evo and they are fine, but a bigger screen would be really nice. The tablet will support video calls, full Web browsing, and augmented reality. To be released September 2nd.
