The Android Tablet Problem, Nicely Summarized by One Review’s Conclusion

Marco Arment dissects/translates Ryan Paul’s review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for Ars Technica:

The main users who will find the Tab 10.1 appealing are Android enthusiasts who like the platform’s flexibility, are tightly bound to Google’s Web service ecosystem, and are comfortable using Android phone applications on a 10.1-inch screen.

“Only die-hard Android fans should buy this, and even most of them won’t enjoy it.”

More grading on a curve.
