Very negatively.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has a return rate of 15 percent. In contrast that for Apple iPad is just 2 percent, reports ITG. In other words, for every 100 units Galaxy Tablets sold; 15 are returned. For Apple this is just 2 for every 100 iPads sold.

The return rate is based on sales from the Galaxy Tab's launch in November 2010 until January 16, 2011.

Taking the comparison further, Samsung had sold 2 million Galaxy Tab units in three months. In contrast, Apple's iPad, with whom Galaxy Tab competes with, sold 7.33 million units in the same quarter. So for the said period while only 146,600 iPads were returned, a whopping 300,000 of Galaxy Tabs came back.

Talking of market share, Apple dominated the tablet space last quarter: it had 75.3 percent market share while Android-based devices grabbed only 21.6 percent share. ---------

More partners will be announced later).Consumers can download the video over a 3G wireless network or Wi-Fi. Samsung will offer more than 1,000 movies and TV shows in Media Hub. The TV shows will be available for download the day after they air on television. No word is one pricing at Meida Hub. And any content that is bought or rented can be shared on up to five Media Hub-enabled devices.

3) The Galaxy Tab is smaller and lighter than the iPad. there is difference in Display size and technology used. Samsung G Tab has a 7.0 inch TFT-LCD, WSVGA (1024 x 600)display; while that of Apple iPad is 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology.

4) Galaxy Tab has twice the RAM as the iPad

7) Galaxy Tab offers up to 7 hours of video playtime (claims Samsung); the iPad can last up to 10 hours, according to Apple.

8) Galaxy Tab is that it uses Google Android 2.2, which allows for Adobe Flash. This enables video playback and other multimedia elements to play on the device. Apple doesn't support Flash on any of its products.

9) Apple has thousands more applications in its iTunes App Store. Samsung Galaxy Tab has to access the Android Market and will also have tailor made apps for it in coming days.

10) Samsung has chosen to work with multiple carrier partners. In fact, the Galaxy Tab will be available on each of the four major U.S. wireless operators. By contrast, Apple has chosen a single, exclusive carrier partner in the U.S., AT&T, for both its iPhone and iPad.

11) Apple ipad has a Wi-Fi only version too. Samsung plans to also launch a Wi-Fi-only version of the product at a later date.
