Well that's definitely not surprising. This is by far the most important award in the mobile industry and it's no shock Samsung did so well. The focus more on the product than the hype. I expect to see the same results next year, but the best tablet will be going to a Samsung Windows 8 Tablet. Samsung just anounced they will be going full out high end Windows 8 PCs, Notebooks, Tablets, and Smartphones by the end of the year. God help Android and iOS.
