I love that at Samsung has bought into the idea of tablets whole sale and isn't tracking a fad or trying to ride Apple's coat-tails. This bodes well for the future of tablets which will be an ever increasing part of our lives as mobile computing matures.

FINALLY tablet manufacturers are getting a clue on where tablets need to be priced to sell well...

None of them do much for me. I'm more interested in finding a device with some power under the hood that won't feel too outdated in a year. I do like the prices, and that does make the 10.1 more attractive (and the IR Blaster is a fantastic touch)....But I'm not sure if I want to go for price and quality or overkill and quality (Transformer TF700).

Good ol' IR.

These look good, and I also applaud Samsung's commitment to the platform.
