Briefly:

I don't find the (so called) review anymore. But this morning I've read some harsh criticism about Samsung Galaxy Tab. Stating, it doesn't scale apps, so 99% of the Android apps (originally designed for 3.5" smartphones) don't work or appear highly pixelated.
This may be correct from a reviewer's perspective, toying with each unit for maybe 27 seconds. "Real users" of course know otherwise.

Simply install the app "spare parts" from the Android market. Flag the fullscreen option - voila!
Works flawlessly.
I have to admit: Samsung should have put it there per se.

But still: I hate such reviews, coming from people who obviously didn't spend more then a few minutes with each unit and then write total rubbish.

BTW: Samsung Galaxy Tab actually scales the apps. Way more pleasing then the solution of simply "doubling" iPhone apps on iPad.
