The new Galaxy Tab is billed as the world's thinnest tablet, beating out Apple's offering by a hair: The 10.1 Tab is 8.6 millimeters thick compared to the iPad 2's 8.8-millimeter size. The Galaxy Tab is also slightly lighter, at 565 grams compared to the iPad 2's 601-gram weight.

Look, when it comes down to it, the differences are pretty -- shall we say -- slim. The point is this: The Galaxy Tab is really freakin' thin. Capisce?

Size aside, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 rocks a Nvidia Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core processor along with 1GB of RAM. It has a 3MP camera on the back and a 2MP camera on the front. The Tab can record video at 720p with 30 frames per second.

The new Tab's 10.1-inch screen has a resolution of 1280-by-800 pixels. Its battery, a 7000 mAh unit, is said to be good for nine hours of continuous use on a single charge.
