All there new tablets are milking the screen tech of two years ago -- the industry has moved on, time for Samsung to realize that...

Yeah - Kinda boring.

The only thing I like about those tablets is the small bezel.

199 starting price is pretty good but yeah, pretty hohum.

samsung knows how to keep the shape/bezel fugly.

I don't get why samsung doesn't use their own chips or at least a variation of some other chip. Each tab has a different processor made by a different company. What the hell samsung?

The more I look at the 8 inch Galaxy Tab 3, the more I think I might kinda like it.

1280x800 is a bit disappointing on an 8 inch screen (and extremely disappointing on an 10 inch screen), but I could probably live with it on this 8 inch tablet, assuming it's a quality panel (Nexus 10 is 2560x1600 and I think it looks like crap, so DPI isn't everything).

It has a dual core Exynos. I wish I knew which Exynos that was, big difference between a dual core Exynos 4 and a dual core Exynos 5. If it's the Exynos 4, it'll probably kill the deal for me.

I like the really thin bezel on the 8 inch model. And the capacitive buttons (I really hate the phone UI and navigation buttons wasting so much space on tablet screens).
