Samsung has a tablet in nearly every size imaginable, including two 10.1-inch devices, so the Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn’t appear to fill a niche that hasn’t already been filled.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 during Mobile World Congress, a 7-inch tablet that sits between the original Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, thanks to the inclusion of ICS. We’ve had our hands on a review unit for several days now…

Finding the right words to describe Apple’s new iPad is difficult. For one, it’s hard not to tread over what’s already been said about its predecessor. The device is fast, beautiful and still offers an experience unrivaled by any other tablet out there — just…

In Part 1, I covered three different iPad Keyboard cases, and all were good for various reasons, but none gave me everything I was looking for. I wanted a decent keyboard, good build quality and a reasonable weight. Feeling a little bit like a tech-Goldilocks…
