I don't have either the ipad or the galaxy tab but have seen them, but I can tell you that Archos has the best screen I've seen on a tablet. It's so clear and is compatible with a lot of different video formats.

I have the older Archos 5 IT and it is a bit buggy and is only Android 1.6 and does not have access to 3g, but I still really like it. I bought it because I wanted an e-reader for around the house, but wanted something a bit more versatile that an e-ink device. The A5IT is really easy to use and I really liked it as a e-reader to the point I only yesterday bought my first dedicated e-ink device.

I'm sure you'll be happy with whichever one you buy. I personally would lean toward whichever is cheaper and compatible with a Android 2.1 or later OS. It all depends on what is most important to you in a device.

Despite being an Apple hater, I will acknowledge that if you want to play Netflix on the device, you have to go ipad because they have made an Android app for it yet :-(.
