As the IFA tech tradeshow winds down in Berlin, one of the clear standouts at the show was the Samsung Galaxy Tab, an Android tablet phone. The Galaxy Tab is a 7-inch tablet that is positioned to compete with the iPad.

For a side-by-side comparison of the Galaxy Tab and the iPad, check out the comparison chart at PCWorld. To summarize the differences — the Galaxy Tab is smaller and lighter and supports up to 32GB of expandable storage. In addition, while the iPad is without a built-in camera, the Galaxy Tab has both front and rear-facing cameras. And of course the Galaxy Tab has smartphone capabilities.

At the IFA tech tradeshow currently underway in Berlin, LG is showing a razor thin OLED TV with a 15-inch screen. This is much smaller than the average TV, but larger than Sony’s 11-inch model. Called “The Object,” the TV display is only 0.1 inches thick and weighs 11 ounces.

An OLED display differs from traditional LCDs by not requiring a backlight to function. It also consumes less power while being operated. OLED technology is also easier to manufacture than LCDs and plasma displays.
