I want to echo what other have said about your iPhone's "widescreen" bashing. Is it wider than 4:3? Yes. And noticibly so. Gee, guess that means it's a WIDESCREEN. It may not be 16:9, but it's damn close, and to the best of my knowledge, the iPhone has never claimed to have a specific screen ratio.
"Pirates" aspect ratio is among the WIDEST of movie film standards of formatting at 2.35:1 and no one on the planet supports that ratio natively, producing edge-to-edge, undistorted viewing on a fixed screen's full display area. You WILL get black bars top and bottom, even with the most expensive HDTV in the world. About the only way you can successfully accommodate is with custom modifications or a front projection system splashed onto a wall.
I guess this makes good blogging fodder for Engadget though.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
