It seems that Sammy is using the new accelerated browser ala the Galaxy S2. It is very smooth.

I'm still waiting for the US Tabs to get Gingerbread. I'm getting impatient.

I'm having serious problems with my Tab's browser force closing all the time! I'm about to sling it through the window and then stamp on it's white arse!!

What makes it more annoying is that my HTC Sensation is sooooooo buttery smooth it makes me tingle, not a judder or slowdown in sight.

So nice...

Have you tried an alternate browser? Eg. Dolphin HD, or Opera?

Now this is interesting. Parts are becoming so power-efficient that solar power is a viable option for tablets.

A new higher efficiency power cell that generates 1W is conceivably enough to power an Android tablet with a Pixel Qi display in full sunlight. What's even more interesting is the panel can be put in the device bezel.

Imagine what happens when the screen itself is able to generate power! Even to extend the battery life could be a great idea.

Noal. Have you had any issues with the signal dropout when covering the back of the phone. Have been some reports that if you cover the back of the phone with your hand, bluetooth/wifi/phone signal drop right off.

To be honest I haven't noticed although my WiFi did drop a couple of times. I will have to perform some tests. Are you thinking of getting one?
