Remember all the craze about Netbooks a few years ago? It seemed that you couldn’t turn a corner without somebody trying to offer you a netbook. Now, most netbook users have turned their netbooks in for a tablet PC, and it’s not hard to see why when you feast your eyes upon devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab. This great new tablet is probably the most worthy recipient of the title ‘iPad beater’.
Samsung at the very least have pulled together a fantastic piece of kit. Based on the Google Android operating system, the Galaxy Tab will probably appeal to a wide base of users, particularly those who appreciate the greater freedom that Android provides.
Slimmer and smaller than an Apple iPad, the Galaxy Tab also has an impressive spec sheet:
- Android 2.2 running TouchWiz 3.0
- 7-inch TFT LCD with 1024 x 600 resolution (WSVGA)
- Weighs 380 grams
- 1GHz Cortex A8 processor
- 16GB or 32GB internal storage
- microSD expansion for up to 32GB additional storage
- Front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera and rear 3 megapixel camera with flash
- 4,000mAh battery
- 3G data / voice/Bluetooth
- 5GHz dual-band 802.11n WiFi
- Standard back color is white, carriers might offer different colors
- Full HD video playback
- 30-pin dock connector on the bottom that allows for HDMI, USB and docking accessories
The interface will also be familar to Android users, with incorporates a 7 inch WSVGA screen, as well as four buttons on the front for home, options, back and search.
Samsung have produced a series of videos, to assist with the launch of the Galaxy Tab. My favourite is by the Samsung CrescentSuperbike Racing Team, who use the Samsung Galaxy Tab to improve their lap times.
