The Tab will be competing directly with the Apple iPad. It will be running Android 2.2 which isn't yet optomized for tablet devices. The Tab will have three features that will set it apart from the iPad, these include; Flash 10.1, and will have two cameras (1.3 megapixel front facing camera and a 3 megapixel rear facing camera.
