Galaxy Tab 10.1": http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/
According to the physical specs of the devices themselves, the GTab 10.1" seems to be thinner, but that doesn't mean that the display itself is thinner.
I'm guessing that pretty much most of you read in portrait mode, and my question is: How well does an A4 page fit on the screen without zooming?
Does anyone think that the display ont he 10.1" be thinner? |
The iPad screen (9.7" with a 4:3 aspect ratio) is 7.76" x 5.82" = 45.16 sq in. The 10.1" screen is generally 1024 X 600. Using this aspect ratio, the screen would be 8.72" x 5.11" = 44.55 sq in.
I hope this answers your question.

I just checked the Galaxy Tab 10.1 specs and the screen is 1280 x 800. Using this aspect ratio (8:5) the numbers are: 8.56" x 5.35" = 45.82 sq in.
