  Why not compare this to the Kindle Fire? It's obvious who the competitor is here.
  And about the Fire, missed a huge detail in that review too: 3G? 4G? I assume the Galaxy 7 will offer some connectivity.... you need another row in your comparison graphic to indicate connectivity!!!
  Duh!

  Actualy, the detail missed you.
  
  "Given that the Kindle Fire is WiFi only...."
  
  That was on the first page of the review.

  Right. . . but my frustration lies more in a lack of comparison of the tablets based on what I consider the most important detail. I do not plan on buying (and I am seriously considering the possibility) the Kindle Fire based on the fact that it is WiFi only. I want the ability to connect and access media while on the go!
  If I'm home I'm certainly not going to watch video on a 7" screen when I have options to watch the same media on 50", 32", 19" 15" screens!
  I'm just saying that we're not stressing and important determiner of sales.

  I don't know why they didn't include a 3G chip. You would think something like that would cost a couple of bucks to Amazon at the most to buy.
  
  I can see some use of this when I was on the road too. Not so much at home.

  The chip itself? Not expensive, the legally required testing and validation, more expensive.

  You want to lose a couple more bucks on a device they supposedly are losing money on?

  If you actually read the teardown, they most likely aren't losing money.

  A nice upgrade on paper. Double the cores, double the RAM, Honeycomb over Froyo, thinner (by 2mm), and lighter (by 40g).
  
  Just need to maintain the battery life and, of course, bring it in at a good price. The last feat getting a lot harder with the Fire coming out soon.
  
  Looking forward to a head-to-head 7" tablet roundup!

  No table buy until I can watch movies without horrible artifacts from scaling.

  I would have expected both the original 7 inch Tab and the announced Tab 7.7 in the comparison table. Specifically the differences with the latter are quite relevant if you're interested in a tablet of this size from Samsung.
