As with all things in life, the job of reviewing a product spans a spectrum of options. At one end of the spectrum you have the quick hands on preview that masquerades itself as a review. At the other end you have the long term road test, spanning months of usage and truly addressing what the product is like to live with. Balancing needs on both ends of the spectrum is very difficult. Go too far to one side and you end up with nothing more than press release talking points. Go too far to the other and you end up with a review that&rsquo;s potentially irrelevant by the time it&rsquo;s published. My goal is to always strike a balance in delivering something deep that&rsquo;s timely as well. Usually it comes at the expense of sleep, seeing as how there are a finite number of hours in a day.</p>

Our recent review of the new iPad went into great detail on a number of topics &ndash; ranging from the display to the SoC, as well as discussing usability. I&rsquo;ve got another post that I&rsquo;ll do to talk about some findings on the usability side, but today I want to focus on something I left out of the original review: a comparison to Samsung&rsquo;s Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE. In the interest of not taking even longer to get the iPad review out, I trimmed the comparison points down to ASUS&rsquo; Transformer Prime and Motorola&rsquo;s Xyboard for battery life and performance. As newer tablets, and with the TF Prime&rsquo;s position as our favorite Android tablet, the comparison made sense. As many of you pointed out however, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is also offered in an LTE flavor and would have made a great comparison. Before the TF Prime, there was the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it was our most desired Android tablet for a while.</p>
