Welcome to my newest Blog, birthed January 24, 2011

I already have an ipad, so why should I buy a Samsung Galaxy tablet?
Firstly I am an aspiring technology blog writer and I appreciate that I really
must have my hands on the things I write.

The Samsung Galaxy tablet sounds so good to be true and fortunately it is really true!
Unlike the iPad, the galaxy tablet has two cameras, front and back!, has wifi and is a
phone, though it may look a little funny to hold a big phone to your ears!

Incredibly, it is a wonder that there is no tablet category in samsung's homepage at
http://www.samsung.com! and entering tablet, galaxy tablet give us something about green memory products and the Galaxy S phone, which we are not interested since we have a capable cheap Nokia C3 already.

Here is a spec list of the Samsung tablet (from an Ayos Dito seller).
