What we say:
“ The Galaxy Tab is a Slate PC for those who love everything the iPad does but are put off by the restrictive nature of Apple products. The Galaxy Tab isn't just an Android on a big screen. Samsung have worked behind the scenes to customize & enhance apps to make use of the extra screen space. From smarter calender and mail apps to full screen video, everything feels at home on the Galaxy Tab. Best of all you still get full access to all the Google services and apps from the Android Market, everything from Google Maps (with free Sat Nav) to the hundreds of games to pass the time. At 7" it strikes the right balance of being portable enough to carry everyday but still give a big screen. ”
A new concept of mobility for media: As a new category of device, the Samsung GALAXY Tab brings a wealth of mobile experiences. Its striking 7-inch TFT-LCD display delivers exciting mobile experience for watching films, viewing pictures, e-reading or sharing documents. In design, its light (380g) build provides perfect portability, with its svelte dimensions making it easy to grip and use. Supporting the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.1, the Samsung GALAXY Tab fully supports swift, seamless viewing of every single page of the web.
Digital Library: The 'Readers Hub,' Samsung's unique e-reading application, provides easy access to a vast digital library – from classical literature to the latest bestsellers and reference materials. At the same time, Samsung unveils 'Media Hub,' a gateway to a world of films and videos, and 'Music Hub,' an application giving access to a wide range of music tunes.
Powerful, always-on communication With 3G HSUPA connectivity, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth® 3.0, the Samsung GALAXY Tab enhances users' mobile communication on a whole new level. Video conferencing and push email on the large 7-inch display make communication more smooth and efficient. For voice telephony, the Samsung GALAXY Tab turns out to be a perfect speaker phone on the desk, or a mobile phone on the move via Bluetooth headset.
Multimedia: Powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz application processor, the Samsung GALAXY Tab is designed to deliver high performance whenever and wherever you are. At the same time, HD video content is supported by a wide range of multimedia formats (DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and more) which maximizes the joy of entertainment.
Camera: While a front-facing camera allows for face-to-face video telephony over 3G, a rear-facing camera captures still images and video that you can edit, upload and share, all without any hassle. As online content and creativity explodes, the Samsung GALAXY Tab is the best portable solution for every lifestyle that needs a constant connection.
