I really do love all these Android tablets coming available to us as the consumer. The ones that real catch my attention are the tablets with keyboards as an accessory. You just have to love the versatility of these devices. The ability to go from a notebook style computing device, to a portable tablet in a blink of an eye.

What has been recently spied in Russia, at a launch for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, is a matching keyboard dock. It's got a sleek, clean look to it. Quite similar to the original Galaxy Tab. One difference we see though is the way the tablet is docked. The original Tab sat comfortably in portrait position. But this Galaxy Tab 8.9 sit in landscape in its version of this functional accessory. And I have to say, I like the look of the landscape version better. It just seems to be a more natural fit.
