Pitting Tablet against Tablet
In the great tablet race of 2010, there are two competitors who have pulled ahead of the rest: Apple’s mighty iPad and Samsung’s new Galaxy tablet. The Galaxy has already sold one million units, putting Apple co-founder Steve Jobs to shame after he claimed that nobody would want a 7 inch tablet, but the iPad was the first gadget to make a tablet worthwhile and reached the one million mark in only 28 days.
Triumph for Samsung as sales rise quickly for the new tablet.
There’s nothing more satisfying than watching someone supremely confident have to eat their own words.

The Samsung i9000 Galaxy S is packed with so much stuff, you'll always find something new to play with. Smart Alarm: GALAXY S knows how refreshing a natural wake up is compared to the sudden, overbearing, onslaught of noise from a radio station, TV, or other alarm device, with its gradual volume-increasing alarm, gently awaking you from a satisfying sleep, and giving you a natural transition to your morning.
Archos has promised a flood of 5 different Tablets this fall and it would look like the Archos 32 with a 3.2 inch screen (thus the 32 in the name) will be the first to be released. Amazon has it on sale as a pre order today. The other 4 versions a 10in, 7in, 4in, 2in version have yet to show up for sale. But I expect they will be by Black Friday.
