Compared to the iPad and the Android Tablets, sure. I know that HP was surprised since they received more orders on day 1 for their Win 7 tablet than they ever expected to produce. I think the number is around 50K in 6 months. That is a LOT of Windows machines. But less than 1% of the iPad and iPad II
My issues with the iPad are:
1. Missing features (built in SD card port, flash, etc)
2. General issue that it is not stand alone
3. The Price
I have seen the iPad and it is very very nice. And I understand part of what makes it just plain work is the control over every detail Apple has. But that isn't for me.
I love this Galaxy Tab. The size is better. The build quality. The fact that it has NEVER been connected to a PC. But it is missing features that would allow me to use it as a stand alone machine. But it is great for e-mail, web surfing and the little "apps" I've put on it.
