... and made it a different aspect ratio, and run a different operating system with a different home screen layout, hiding away those icons in an app drawer, and put a big SAMSUNG on the front just in case anyone was still in any doubt.
And gave it a look and feel which, yes, was reminiscent of the iPad but which also looks a lot like Samsung's earlier products.
If I'd never seen an iPad I would be perfectly happy with the Tab being a natural evolution of the Samsung design from its televisions, photo frames and video players, with form following function in the long established drive to make consumer devices thinner and lighter.
