Samsung Galaxy Tab Review

Does the Galaxy Tab work well?

The next ultra-cool gadget I plan to buy is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a new tablet PC that's set to explode on the scene in 2011. According to many industry experts the Galaxy will be the biggest and best alternative to the Apple iPod. This feature-packed mobile computing device is ultra sleek and actually smaller than the iPad, plus with the Google Android OS it's designed to be able to do more things (and more things better). I'm not an Apple fan but I do really want an IPad-like portable computer to carry around with me. As usual, I've been looking for good reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Tab before I buy it. Here's a nice one I just found...

Samsung Galaxy Tab - A Head Turing New Tablet Device Which Offers The Full Package

Since the release of the Apple iPad, several manufacturers have concentrated their efforts on developing rival tablet devices. One of these is Samsung, who has recently released the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

This sleek and stylish looking device is somewhat smaller than Apple's rival device at 190.1x 120.5x 12 mm which is ideally sized for portability whilst still being able to take advantage of the large 7 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen. This is great for viewing photos and videos as well as gaming and using the user interface in general. This is due to a pixel configuration of 600x 1024 which is able to display up to 16million dazzling and clear colours. The highly customisable and intuitive TouchWiz UI is installed as Samsung's custom Android interface.

In order to view and operate the screen in both portrait and landscape modes, there is a built-in accelerometer sensor which automatically senses the angle at which the unit is held, and built as the contents of the screen accordingly. Another innovative feature called Swype is also included. This is installed on several of the manufacturers' previous mobile phones and operates in conjunction with the onscreen QWERTY keyboard. It allows users to slide their finger from one key to the next without having to take their finger off the screen, in the manufacturers claim this can offer a 30% improvement to text entry speeds.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab also operates as a standalone mobile phone, unlike the Apple iPad. This relies on both EDGE & GPRS to keep it connected to the appropriate cellular networks, whereas access to the Internet relies on both 3G and Wi-Fi where available. Both of these options allow for great browsing experience, which is enhanced by Adobe Flash 10.1 support which allows users to take advantage of multimedia elements of websites such as games and videos. The full package of Google features is included to do this running the Android 2.2 Froyo OS. Additional connectivity features include Bluetooth and micro USB as well as GPS with A-GPS support which allows location based functions to operate.

Another advantage that the Samsung Galaxy Tab has over its iPad rival is a 3.15 mega pixel digital camera with Autofocus and LED flash. This also doubles up as a video camera offering an alternative to taking still images. There is a second camera located on the front of the device which operates at 1.3 mega pixels and can be used for video calling or as a webcam.

There are 16 GB and 32 GB models available, meaning each one can potentially store thousands of files and various formats, the their media files or documents thanks to the included media player and Thinkfree Office compatibility (which supports MS Office documents). Users also have the option to utilise the integrated microSD card slot which can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB, allowing him further storage can be attained.

With features such as the impressive touch screen, full HD video playback, advanced Internet browsing and productivity tools and powerful 1 GHz processor being the tip of the iceberg, it is clear to see the Samsung Galaxy Tab becoming very popular indeed.

Apple iPad Deals on Black Friday 2010

I really, really want to buy an Apple iPad. But I'm not gonna spend hundreds of dollars to do it. So I've been on the hunt for a discounted iPad for the past few weeks. All the reviews of the tablet PC gadget show that it does work and works very, very well. So I think it's time to make the investment, especially since my Asus netbook is starting to burn out from too much use. I plan on purchasing my new iPad this upcoming Black Friday. I think I'll be able to get the best price for this unbelievably cool and useful gadget. Here's an interesting article I found on the subject:

Black Friday Deals for Apple iPad in 2010 - Verizon Wireless Sells Table Device for Christmas

As we are getting very close to the end of 2010 many Americans will begin to start thinking about Christmas gift ideas for their loved ones. One of the most popular gift ideas in 2010 is likely to be the Apple iPad. With this item being very hot many customers will hope that there are Black Friday iPad sales at retailers such as Verizon Wireless, Wal-Mart or Target. Unfortunately, this item continues to fly off the shelves so it is very unlikely that we will see any sales or deals for this tablet device during the holiday shopping season.

 Before making any final decisions on a Christmas gift for your children, husband or wife in 2010 it is always important to see what will be on sale during the major shopping days. There is no doubt that Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year as millions of Americans will be out and about looking for the best possible discounts for items that they hoped to buy as Christmas presents. With there being many retailers offering steep discounts on very popular items it is always a good idea to plan ahead and think about which types of big-ticket items will be the best Christmas ideas.

 There has been great interest in the Apple iPad as millions of people throughout the world have purchased this item in 2010. It is quite amazing to see the sales growth of this item as anything Apple throws out there seems to sell very well. Now that the iPad has been around for several months it will be very interesting to see if the growth continues through the Christmas holiday. It will very likely be the case that many children and young adults will ask for this item as a Christmas gift but if there are no sales on this item it could be the case that customers resort to other tablet devices.

 Over the next few weeks it will be the case that many people begin to start thinking about the holiday shopping season. Even though Black Friday is well over a month away it is still the case that thrifty shoppers begin to think about all of the possibilities to save money. If someone starts to ask you what a good Christmas gift idea would be then you know that this is a thrifty shopper that is already planning for the sales and deals that will be available during the busiest shopping day of the year.
