We have aquired a Galaxy Tab at work and this is the first blogpost I write on it. I have paired it with an Apple wireless keyboard via Bluetooth (yes I appreciate the irony ¦-) ) and use the WordPress app for Android.
The Galaxy tab is in itself a really nice piece of hardware. I like the size (7 inch screen) which makes it a lot more comfortable to use in sofa and while standing. I suspect that there will be moments when I would like a larger screen, but so far that has not been an issue.
I have an android phone at work and one privately, so I am familiar with the Android OS. I really like the multitasking and the range of apps. I have not encountered any problems when using the GT and enjoy the experience. I have both used it as an ebook reader, both the Kindle for Android app and other ebook apps, and enjoyed the experience so much that I really must admit that I prefer the GT as a reading platform to the Kindle. This came as a total surprise to me as I have loved my Kindle (and still do). but the reading experience is great and it is nice to have a device that can do other things that display text.
All in all I think the GT has a great future as an alternative to the iPad and look forward to seeing what will come in the future.

Is it good for long reading sessions too?
Yes, no problem there. I use the white text on black background setting and it works fine for reading for hours. And I love the ability to switch between GT, Kindle and my mobile android phone when reading a book.
Kewl!
