Categorizing the Galaxy Tab is pretty confusing. Certainly, it has a massive touch screen display. At 7 inches, we are certainly questioning whether it still manages to fit the requirements of a mobile phone. Labeling it as a touch screen device however, completely rules out the fact that it can handle voice calls.
While that question will certainly leave us scratching our heads for a while, here is something that we can all agree upon: the Galaxy Tab is one impressive device.
There is no doubt that the Android operating system looks great on a larger touch screen display. It has already been previewed in a tablet device a couple of months back and seeing both HTML5 and Flash content support on a single system is certain to bring a smile on the faces of many media loving tech users.
The device itself has been confirmed to be an ARM Cortex A8 1GHz CPU. This means that running almost any apps on the tablet will not cause problems or significant slowdowns –unless the user decides to run several resource hogging apps at the same time.
Fans of the Android OS will be happy to know that this tablet will be running Android 2.2 Froyo right off the bat –which means that there will be no waiting time for an update (unless the user is waiting for the upcoming Android 3.0 Gingerbread).
The tab is packed with plenty of features and additional functionality. Aside from the Android OS, Samsung has also added in several new features such as an e-book reader and a slightly tweaked user interface that suits the 7 inch display.
In other Samsung related news, it seems that the Korean manufacturer is not finished with the tablet technology. According to reports, the company is looking into developing a new tablet for the upcoming Android Honeycomb.
