Lets at least compare the products in question. The link in your comment compares the Galaxy Tab 7 to the iPad 2, and even then is making its comparison based on very old pictures. I went to Samsung's and Apple's website and downloaded images of the home screen of the products in question.

Quick side by side job-

You are free to choose which you think looks "better" but the design is not even similar. One is made of glass of and aluminum, the other of glass and plastic. The differences between the the Galaxy Nexus and the 4s is even more striking. My comparison doesn't go a good job of showing the scale but they are no where near the same size either.

If you really want to compare old and completely unrelated devices, have a look at this picture that made its rounds on Google+ during the #boycottapple time: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nMgzXpDyNhA/Ta3iBWUo3bI/AAAAAAAAM1...



Nice work there detective. Unfortunately that Galaxy you showed is the 10.1n which is the modified version to make it deliberately look different than an iPad.

Here is the "original" Galaxy Tab.

That does look a little more iPady... However, I'm assuming that this (the 10.1n) is the model that most retailers are currently selling, and that Apple was sending letters to stop the sale of... The more salient point and the injunction that has been since been reversed is for the Galaxy Nexus which is in no way similar to the iPhone 4s.

Unrelated, who uses a tablet from 10 ft away anyway?
