Galaxy tab! Is it that good? Better than Ipad?

      So about 2 weeks ago i had the idea in my head and i began to look at tablets. I started to look at cheap third party tablets that ran older Android versions and none of them just seemed to jump out and grab my attention but then I saw the galaxy tab. Dare I look at the price tag? Granted it was $200 more expensive than what i was looking at but it was still $200 cheaper than the Ipad. I have a Samung Intercept and i was already not very fond of the Samsung version of the Android OS. Despite which i decided to pick out the Sprint version of the Galaxy Tab like a puppy from the pet store. Granted all my doubts and worries i found myself to be happily glued to my new tablet. The Galaxy proved to be a smooth running well oiled machine.
      Using the latest version of Android it was far more organized and ran with far less hiccups than my Intercept. The 7inch screen was not too big and not too small. It seemed to fit perfectly in my hands and i could rotate it to where the buttons were on my right or left.. Not to mention it displays in high definition. I was happy to see it had a camera on the back for taking pictures and i had a web cam on the front for live video chat. The applications from the app store perfectly transition over to the Galaxy Tab with little to no problems at all. I was impressed with the fact that it came with a microsoft office like application and Amazon created an app allowing you to purchase, open and read kindle books. Movies are clear and crisp, pictures are displayed in HD. The speakers on the Galaxy provide great sound and volume for music and movies. I  don't have the 3G activated on it but i can only guess that it would make it that much better.\
      Overall the Galaxy Tab is an excellent device which builds on the strengths of the Android OS. It's excellent high quality display and sound along with the ability to use all apps that your android phone can use definitely puts it ahead of the Apples Ipad in my opinion
