well, not to bring up an argument, but no. it's not about working for me vs. someone else. try doing this multitouch pinching motion with one hand...it doesn't work i don't care who you are. and by "on hand" i mean holding the phone in your hand and zooming, not setting it on the counter.
@slamEVIL: I just tried it on my zune hd. It's admittedly difficult but possible. hold the player/phone with your pinky, ring, and middle finger and use your index finger and thumb to zoom in/out. Not something I'd ever actually use but it does work.
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.

@slamEvil the same question can be applied to why people would want to use a stylus but many still do...it's just what works for you.

Yes but you're assuming that everyone is bothered the way you are. There's double tap for the one handed solution.
Additionally with one hand you can pinch zoom pretty easily, holding the phone in one hand and zooming with your index finger and thumb.
