SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1

I’m giving that shot introduction to Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 a NVIDIA Tegra 2 based Honeycomb tablet. Since then, Apple’s iPad 2 raised the bar for ergonomics and performance.. This is Samsung’s first Honeycomb-powered tablet, and probably the best competitor to the iPad right now.

Samsung has been absolutely crushing it with Android phones. It has put out some of my favorites so far, including the Nexus S and Infuse 4G. The new Galaxy Tab 10.1 measures only 8.6mm thick and weighs 595 grams. The iPad 2 by comparison is 8.8mm thick and weighs 601 grams. The display is a Xoom-like 1280×800 using Samsung’s PLS display technology.

Samsung also announced the Galaxy Tab 8.9. The specs between the 10.1 and 8.9 remain the same; all that really changes is screen size from what I can tell. You still get the same 1280×800 PLS display but in a much more dense package.The new tablet TouchWiz also has new size adjustable widgets that look very good on the big screen.

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 Not Thinner Than iPad 2, But Who Cares???!Samsung’s 7-inch Galaxy Tab Android tablet is not an iPad killer. The Galaxy Tab is a very portable tablet, which is one of its selling points over the iPad.

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB is great for watching videos, surfing web pages, and most apps from the Android Market look exponentially better blown up on the bigger screen. Playing Angry Birds on the Galaxy Tab is almost worth the price on its own.
