Samsung hasn't ceded the small slate market to either the Kindle Fire(s amzn) or Nook Tablet(s bks) just yet. Although these two 7-inch slates are gobbling up market share for low-cost tablets, Samsung launched its Galaxy Tab 2 this week. The $249 Wi-Fi tablet certainly has some better hardware over its competitors but the real question is: Can it provide the experience people are looking at this price?
