Help I had wasted my money on this galaxy tab wifi only at $460 and I already have ipad2 what can this tab do that iPad2 can't pls help me anyone interested in buying my tab pls email me tingyu_17@hotmail.com thks is still very new hardly use it.
Sucks that they downgraded the GPU in the Wifi one without telling customers, its a SGX530, the 3G uses the 40. About half the theoretical performance.
this device is crap they took alot of stuf out from the 3g one it doesnt have the hummingbird bluetooth is 2.1 i mean what they do to this they should have left all the stuff in it and it lags thats sucks this is a fail
Im thinking of buying the wifi model, and I was recently at best buy pricing the tab. They had a 3g model on display, but there were a few problems. Asphalt 5 Free and GT Racing Motor Academy Free+ were missing from the Android Market. Could this be fixed in any way? And the second problem was found when I installed google earth. I opened the app, but it was forced to close for the lack of a micro sd card. So the 16gb onboard memory does not count as sd space, or is that only a problem on 3g?
@MrMegatrical if you have a router and you have your own user name and password you just go to the settings and enter it in but if your not in a wifi zone outside of your home then it won't work
this tab has one defect , its photo viewer app can only display downsized versions of the images , so when you zoom in you don't get more details , you only get a blurry-kind-of image , it would have been a perfect tab if this defect wasn't there , it can even play full HD 1080p videos !!!
@07704510926knight I guess it's about android cause my LG optimus black has the same issue, u can't see the whole picture, just preview :s when u download to your computer then it looks as it has to be..so my point is, probably android picture gallery opens the file as preview for a better and faster performance..
It cannot view 720p and 1080p videos right? I'm confused cause in the box it said "HD Playback". So I hope anyone would reply and give info about this.
How much does this cost and when you buy the wifi model, is it just a flat payment (opposed to the models which have monthly payments or the 3 year contract)? PLEASE REPLY!
is the samsung galaxy tab wifi-only compatible with the dock keyboard?
cause in amazon in some descriptions of the dock keyboards, they say:" compatible with your samsung galaxy tab p1000" but I dont know if it is compatible with the wifi-only version :S
@roerotigres the wifi model only supports well... Wifi. If you go to tmo att or sprint then you have to make a contract, select a plan, ect. Buy the wifi model better
I like to get the iPad2 but Apple is asking to much money for it. I want a good tablet that I can play games on, watch shows and movies with, surf the net, and listen to music. is the galaxy tab a good tablet for this?
@mobileburn Hey! great video! I have a question for you... I want a Samsung Galaxy Tab, on the 3G model, but I don't want to have telephone. What can I do? What happens if I buy a WiFi model, unlock it, and insert a 3g chip? like a telephone one?? Thanks!
Wi-Fi only model sports a 1GHz A8 Cortex processor, while the 3G model uses a 1GHz, Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor. This means the processor used in the Wi-Fi only model is that of a older generation. The Wi-Fi model is powered by a PowerVR SGX 530, while its 3G cousin has a PowerVR SGX 540. a user who has used the Wi-Fi only device says that “The performance is not good. I see noticeable lag when pulling down the notification bar. I go and check out 3G version. It’s a lot better”.
@dpaik360 could someone make a video confirming this noticeable lag? is it just because there are a lot of apps running or is it that slow with everything? It doesn't appear so in the video. And whats the difference between the regular a8 vs a8 hummingbird?
@ChinoMasFino sorry...it's not an A8 Hummingbird...it's an Arm7 Hummingbird which is the second gen. Cortex processor....A8 is the first gen....and the newer one is faster and better on battery life....it's still very useable...i'm not saying it sucks...but it IS the older generation...
its very laggy on the browser and thats why i didnt buy it even if its $299 AU try to go to ign.com lol flash kills the samsung touch...sad really..great price.
Yup getting the HTC EVO View 4G has this tab will be outdated and not worth getting it. The HTC EVO View 4G Featuring a 1.5 GHz processor, 7-inch display, Android 2.3 and will upgrade to Honeycomb they say in fall. Waiting for just a wifi not worht buying it
I was thinking getting this but will wait this summer in june when the HTC EVO View 4G arrives and it is also 7 inch size but way more better features than the tab
@DEVILSNAKELDS No, not so much about the size, well ok a little bit.
But mostly "most bang for the buck" but i guess the new Samsung tabs will be so much better then the previous one, so it wont be worth getting one of the "old" Samsung galaxy tab.
cool
