Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 3G ARM Cortex-A 16 GB 17.8 cm (7") Android Black, White :
The Samsung GALAXY Tab brings together all of Samsung’s leading innovations to provide users with more capabilities while on the move. Consumers are able to experience PC-like web-browsing and enjoy all forms of multimedia content on the perfectly sized 7-inch display, wherever they go. Moreover, users can continuously communicate via e-mail, voice and video call, SMS/MMS or social network with the optimised user interface.

“Samsung recognises the tremendous growth potential in this newly created market and we believe that the Samsung GALAXY Tab brings a unique and open proposition to market. There is a new and emerging consumer demand that Samsung can satisfy since mobile is in our DNA. This demand continues to grow and develop as users tap its limitless potential,” said Simon Stanford, Head of Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland. “The Samsung GALAXY Tab has been designed to enable consumers to maximise their online experience wherever that may be. The Samsung GALAXY Tab is pushing the market in new directions and Samsung believes this is only the beginning of its innovations as pioneers in smart media devices.”

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.

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.

The Samsung GALAXY Tab has made rich communication truly mobile; it presents a level of converged technology that moves beyond mobile or PC to an entirely new category. Users have new powers to consume, create and communicate from wherever they are.

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 speakerphone on the desk, or a mobile phone on the move via Bluetooth® headset.

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 maximises the joy of entertainment.

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.

Released last year, Samsung's Android-based Galaxy Tab is still the smallest around, with a screen of just 7in and an overall diagonal of just 8.5in. Not only is it lighter than Apple's equivalent-spec iPad 2 (at just 380g, it's a whopping 228g lighte...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is the latest tablet to hit the market, and it has a lot going for it. At 7 inches, it's more compact than the Apple iPad, and it's easier to carry it around with you. Granted, it's still too large to fit in most pockets, but it'll slip into the smallest of bags, and fits perfectly in the hand. The Tab runs the same Android operating system as many of the latest smartphones...
At over £500, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is even more expensive than the Apple iPad, and it's a serious amount of money for a toy. It's not so good for work use – it's not quite big enough for presentations, for instance, and the onscreen keyboard is also more cramped than the Apple iPad's.

Thursday morning at the IFA show here in Berlin, I attended a Samsung press conference and watched one of the company's executives brandish its new Galaxy S tablet. It was intriguing. But I had a much better time that evening at the Showstoppers press...

Thanks to the kind folks at NTT Docomo, I was lucky enough to test the Galaxy Tab at the office and even bring it home with me for a few days.-First impression: Wicked cool.-After 5 days: it’s great, but it’s no iPad. I. Look and feel (9/10) : Straigh...

Kickass screen, Lightweight and portable, Flexibly and customizable OS, Great connectivity, Phone/video calls, Flash support, X.
Sound quality, Poor battery life, Screen smudges too easily (like the iPad), Poor Camera performances, Android not as polished and intuitive as iOS, Still missing Kick ass Apps.
6/10): The Galaxy Tab is a sleek piece of technology and a serious contender for the iPad. The screen quality is exceptional, and the intuitive interface makes for a very pleasant user experience. With its relatively compact size it can be an excelle...

At this time last year, the iPad was the one of the only mass-market tablets around. As we know now, it did very very well, encouraging other manufacturers to try their hand at the Tablet market too, and here’s Samsung doing just that. They had an eas...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab does pretty much everything pretty well, just like the Galaxy S. If you happen to get your hands on one, you wont be able to find much to criticize in its performance. Though, that being said, the screen would be a little better...

Apple has caustically derided the idea of a 7-inch tablet PC. In the wake of the iPad’s insane, nearly unexplainable success – a year ago, few could figure out why anyone needed or wanted a tablet PC, its purpose and function unclear, and its name moc...

So, what does Tab do that a Galaxy S phone (or any Android or iPhone) doesn't do as well or that a laptop does better? Maybe video watching and, maybe, game playing. In other words, what does it do? What function does it create or improve upon? It can't b...

Let’s just get it out of the way: the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the first Android tablet worth anyone’s money. It really is, but whether or not you should spend the money on it is the real question. With a 7-inch screen, 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front a...

Size is great for portability, and build quality is as rigid as a Samsung device has ever felt. The hardware is excellent and runs Android 2.2 with TouchWiz smoother than ever, Web browsing is a dream with fast page loads and smooth scrolling/zooming. The screen real estate makes enough of a difference that browsing on a smartphone just won’t cut it anymore, Frontfacing camera opens up twoway v...
There are moment where we definitely feel that Android 2.2 is not for tablets. Some applications are shrunk down and don’t use the full breadth of the screen, the whole thing feels like a big phone without the ability to make calls, Not enough done with the interface to differentiate from Samsung’s Galaxy S line of phones. Hopefully future updates will bring Android Honeycomb to round out the ta...

Yesterday, I was in line at my local Best Buy waiting to pay for my just-activated Samsung Galaxy Tab when my mother walked up from behind and said, “Oh, look! It's like a mini iPad.” It was then when I realized that reviewing this device would essent...

Lightweight and easy to pick up on the way out of the door; still big enough to not feel constrained; good battery life, (very) bright screen; TouchWiz works and looks well on tablet form; easy to type on; very nice build quality; expandable memory; very loud speaker; great for navigation.
Proprietary Samsung port for charging; mediocre camera on back; flash-enabled, slows browsing speeds; no Netflix Instant Watch; fingerprint magnet; heavy price tag at $599 requires data plan activation; eats up data quickly.
Let me start this by saying the Galaxy Tab is not a necessity, it's a luxury item that can be very useful. I've tried three or four different tablets now and the Tab is the perfect one for me. Is it for everyone? Definitely not. It hits the sweet sp...

The first Android-based tablet to hit the UK shelves is the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It's got a 7-inch screen, runs on Android 2.2, can make voice calls and has a pair of cameras for pictures and video calls. Is it an iPad beater? Or is it more of an oversized...

Contrary to what Steve Jobs has said, you don't have to sand your fingers down to use the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The 7inch screen works fine. So it's not as big at the iPad's 9.7inch display, but it doesn't feel as cramped as certain people would have you th...
So the Samsung Galaxy Tab can make calls and take pictures things that the iPad can't do. All well and good, but we found that the quality of voice calls was average at best and the pictures taken on the 3megapixel camera to be not that great.

2010 was the year of Tablets – or more specifically, the Tablet. Yes I am talking about the Apple iPad, which completely redefined the concept of handheld tablets and opened up the market for dozens of other devices aiming to bridge the gap between the sm...

The fact that I chose to type a part of this review on the Galaxy Tab itself should more than justify the conclusion. Most people argued that tablets are only meant for consumption and not creation. The iPad did change that perception a bit when artists a...
