Yes, I agree. I have the 4" display Galaxy S, and I really like it; but when I got my hands on the 7" Galaxy Tab, I thought Android 2.2 (which Google says is not designed for tablets), looked "not so good" on a tablet, but is great on my mobile.

So, I decided not to buy the current generation Galaxy Tab running 2.2 and wait for Android 3.0. The main reason is that I am really happy with Android 2.1 (soon to upgrade to 2.2) on my Galaxy S when mobile; and when home, I prefer to just use a laptop/netbook or my big Mac, until I see a "lighter, brighter, better" tablet (my Galaxy S is 113 grams, as I recall, the perfect weight in hands and in the pocket).

NAME

The ipheth driver provides support for network access through Apple iPhone and iPad devices, often referred to as USB tethering. ipheth should work with any Apple iPhone or iPad device. In most cases this must be explicitly enabled on the device first. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). The device does not support different media types or options. HARDWARE
The following devices are supported by the ipheth driver: o Apple iPhone tethering (all models) o Apple iPad tethering (all models) SEE ALSO
arp(4), cdce(4), intro(4), netintro(4), urndis(4), usb(4), ifconfig(8), usbconfig(8) HISTORY
The ipheth device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 8.2. AUTHORS
The ipheth driver was written by Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@FreeBSD.org>. BUGS
Some devices may need to be manually configured to use an alternative configuration with the usbconfig(8) utility. A command similar to usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 set_config 3 may be required if the device is not recognised automatically by ipheth after it is connected. BSD
