Samsung Galaxy Tab - initial hands-on look

[mrlbattle1]

Was this guy sleepy?

[TheArvinian01]

Please anyone, how do you use the USB port at the bottom of the tab, i have this USB kit, and when i insert it then connect to some usb or SD card, i don't know where to locate the storage, anyone?

[roldan93lol]

omg and i will have it in 5 days <3

[andy1992uk]

I cant believe the icons are like that, no wonder they are getting sued by apple.

[Lif34Real]

a device that big with only a 3.2MP camera I have cell phone that is 4x smaller and it has 8MP camera 720x480 vedio recording

[leouch20]

how can I download youtube videos to galaxy tab someone pls..

[lui3090]

@leouch20 go to keepvid.com

[twoandahalfben]

honestly, i dont like apple, although i did purchase an ipod touch, I always loved androids, and the android phones are awesome, but with the tabs i have played with, i havent found a single tab that is nicer to use than the ipad

[J03SH4W]

i hate when people who make videos dont know about the product. It has as many homescreens as you want. you can add more...

[wldqjftjdrltk]

Dont buy it

I bought galaxy tab GT 1000 serial No 352961048338203 warranty card No 1679390 from Dubai duty free. It has started malfunctioning within a week. When I switch it on its vibrator start functioning and nothing appear on the screen. Sometimes the screen gets ON but it doesn’t respond and step by step gets blurt sometimes when I want to switch it off it does not respond. Now it’s totally dead. only the four factions’ lights appears at the bottom of the screen and that is all.

[J03SH4W]

@zahidiqbal GT P1000. And you may have bought it from a at dealer...

[thomwii11]

[way2dumb]

[jwharvey123]

gracias! 

[jattana13]

@csig490 tab's better except for battery and screen!

[High2Tension]

too big for pocket and too small for a bag



[iKRISK0]

@High2Tension meh... like iPad

[trikstadude3]

@High2Tension Same problem with iPad. Atleast this is more likely to fit in a jacket pocket.

[High2Tension]

@trikstadude3 hmmm ya but still , we dont ware jackets in summers. its a good thing but still not easy to carry,

[thefunkychicxa]

@csig490 Well. I was supposed to buy and Ipad but then I discovered galaxy tab and I totally fell in love with it.

So, I recommend you the GAlaxy Tab.!

xoxo -Emma

[zaseck]

Does anybody knows if the galaxy tab allows multitasking? I need some device that let me reed a PDF or Word or whatever document meanwhile at the backgroud a diferent application is recording the voice.

Thanks a lot for your answers!

[CryptoElite]

Galaxy Tab = God

[ScrubsEntertainment]

I think the iPad is ideal for at home, to read a newspaper, watch a video on the couch. And go online.

I think the Galaxy Tab is ideal for outside. You can easily watch a website, listen to some music.

[kitchensink6]

does it have 3G built in?

[musiclover1070]

@kitchensink6 yeah it does

[lankplank123]

@kitchensink6 yes, but it takes a normal phone sim.. so if youre on contract you can double up :)

[captainspacehammer]

big things come in small packages

[bufbarnaby]

16x9 is best. 7inch screen is ideal to hold.

[OK5022]

.........YOU ! What the hell are you ? Your smart devices do not work with ARABIC !!!!

I am gonna keep using Apple products better  than begging you . Arabic language , HOW IS SHAME ON YOU .

[SibuTNTcorps]

I hate how so many brands of Microsoft PCs gangbang a single Apple brand's Mac

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

it prob come with cable for video out unlike APPLE where they charge u $29 for cables.

[TheJd5950]

@thecody lol ur gay kido for real ipad or laxy tab where the fuck u gonna keep that big ass phone

[GameFan401]

this is crap

[twebb72]

Wheres the internets?

[fugitive88888]

Can it read pdf files ?

[Qasimbajwaa]

What is the point of hdmi if the system outputs at 1024x600 or does it go to 720 when connected to an hd screen

[0209Allen]

Listen up Apple Fanboys. Plz PLz Don't spit out anything just because YOU ALREADY WASTED CASHES ON OLDSCHOOL things.

[NasherDezno]

@0209Allen It would be great if it ran anything but Android. I have had several Android devices, and thats why when it came out I got an Ipad because many things, like music sounding like garbage, the crappy marketplace, and the glitchy Android OS itself are great turn-offs.

[nanotek2711]

@0209Allen and this is a thing that follows the oldschool things

[Tha2ndWimp]

@0209Allen So this is better then? How come nobody is buying these then? I've never seen anyone with this. I've seen plenty of people with iPad.

[feljocson]

@Tha2ndWimp . Its because iPAD has already a name in the market... in short it a signature name already just like any other signature brand. Though lacking some additional good features in it compare to other brand like Samsung still the name iPAD always on the top. It also contribute to one persons outlook having an iPAD means u have the guts than any other brands ..no glory at all. Having an iPAD a person can walk with head up high.

[Nokitfer]

it didn't really need a camera -.- but i love android, although iOS is awesome too, but limited...

[TheJd5950]

APPLE is BOSS

[TheCody013]

@TheJd5950 APPLE is GAY

[fmswarrior]

This is gay but is good to have available for those who do not appreciate all Apple does for all countries and like Droid better. Apple comes out with everything new and everyone else (ie Galaxy S) copies them.

[TheCody013]

@fmswarrior tablets werent new you dumbass

[dashadowleague]

Apple is not crap, all of these products have short coming, jus bcuz you dont like a product or own a product make it badd, whats bad is that ppl are front runners and want to be apart of whats popular, I own 3 macz HTC evo and im getting a Gtab no doubt... To each his own, but at least B real..

[tropsees]

@dashadowleague Its time for all you apple boys and girls to get out of the closed community that all you are in. Apple is crap they have taken ideas from other sources as well.

[h20k09907]

way to copy the ipad!

[arabway]

ipad is CRAP compared to Galaxy pad

[arabway]

ten times better than the ipad shit

[flowerfreakdrummer]

shame apple wont do flash,for starters, its much needed, it put me off getting the ipad, now this, looks more like it, what the ipad should have for what you pay

[sunkistSMILE]

lol this looks like a HUGE cell phone.

[david8566i]

What is this? A cell phone that you can't fit in your pocket? I'll go for the iPad lol.... Much thinner

[TheSadgirl94]

tropsees get a life loser

[tropsees]

@TheSadgirl94 I'll say it again apple is crap and going down the crapper. Keep buying the crap to make the crap richer.

[Neoand12]

Does anyone know the Price of this tablet? Also its a phone too? I wanted to get the Dell Slate but this is striking my interest very much. I thought the Sim card slot was for internet only.

[ComicMischiefTV]

I hate all these "Apple is crap" comments. It's a HELL of a lot smoother than the other tabs.

[archjozh]

makes me want this! Ha!

[SuperSealSniper]

samsung tab = phone + laptop +camera + gps + e-reader + video chat + flash support +pdf support + ms-office support, all in one.

[weemillie]

@SuperSealSniper hmmm hmmm like iPad? :O:O:O .... low samsung ...

[swissguy591]

@weemillie Nope. The iPad doesn't have a camera, gps, video chat, or flash support and the galaxy tab is a completely different form factor.

[weemillie]

@weemillie and how can you phone with it? XD it would funny... low samsung ... very low...

[TheSketi3]

The only thing that ipad haves and galaxy tab not, is crap =/

[megadetroyer100]

The camera looks like the camera of the iphone 4 :D

[pappaellio]

Is there a 5 inch tablet phone running android?

[girlsdrinkfeck]

@pappaellio the dell streak

[q8sauod]

@pappaellio well .. there is the HTC Evo which is 4.7 or 4.3 ..

[miguelgilmaya]

@tropsees Shut up. Apple just has made for tablet apps.

[soccer4him4]

@tropsees dont know about crap, overrated yes, but they arent crap. I own both apple products and android products and i like them both. They are different companies to so they have differing opinions on what is best for a certain product and for some people they like apple's stuff and for some people they like androids stuff.

[EvilErnie999]

@tropsees Yeah dude I'll take a 2 inch "smaller" screen if it has flash lol.

[TheHenriquebh2010]

@tropsees crap? why u just say crap? why camera? i would never take a picture with that bric, i have a super powerful camera and cell phone for portability.

[overithiswire]

@tropsees Listen your obviously a fucking twit moron! Apple sets the standard in this industry. There would be no other tablets or smart phones of the caliber that there is now without the revolution research and hard work apple put into inventing this stuff. Why do think all has come after apple!?!? The ipad is great. I own. Love it. Who the fuck wants a rear facing camera on a tablet? The galxay tab is a known fail. Go read up about it on gizmodo you simple minded fool!

[overithiswire]

@overithiswireI DO enjoy the android OS. I think it's great. I own a droid x. If motorola makes a droid tablet... then their will be two great tablets on the market. But to say apple is crap is just stupid. Apples whole line up is successful for a reason! Because people love their products. WHY do people love a product? Well in most cases they love a product when it functions great! All apple products do. Mac's run on one of the most intelligent operating systems in the world

[tropsees]

@overithiswire Apple is not bad but their is going to be other companys who are going to step up to the plate to compete with apple and be successful. Andriod is a great operating system and i prefer to the apple operating system but each to his own. When it comes to computers the PC is still the top dog. Take a walk in a futureshop or bestbuy in the computer department and count the number of rows that have PC compared to MAC. Lets see what 2011 brings.

[tropsees]

@tropsees O ya Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Maybe we will cross paths again in 2011. Heading to sun for the winter.

[overithiswire]

@9820208725 shut up you dick riding faggot. you would have to be an absolute brain dead moron to go get this thing. have you tired it? go to your local best buy and try it. The touch interface is TERRIBLE. Flash?? Ok so it runs flash yes it runs it TERRIBLY! The multitasking isn't true multitasking. Meaning you can't be on the actual desktop youtube site and have a video playing in the back round and do something else. Even google said 2.2 froyo is not set up for tablets.

[DeadlyInertia]

@overithiswire Woot! You tell em ;) iPad rules! This is SUCH a rip-off, the head orientation just Snaps into position, while ours turn with style ;)

[Cyberwwwizard]

@DeadlyInertia - ipad = ijoke!

[DeadlyInertia]

@Cyberwwwizard Says the dude who doesn't own one. Or the galaxy.

[Cyberwwwizard]

@DeadlyInertia - correct, I don't own either. I'm still evaluating which is best to get and it definitely won't be anything manufactured by apple. Samsung with Android win hands down. Off to get one on phone monthly contract tomorrow morning. Thanks and goodbye!

[Cyberwwwizard]

@DeadlyInertia - you're 14 and it's 23:23hrs, shouldn't you have gone to bed a couple of hours ago? Your parents won't be pleased.

[DeadlyInertia]

@Cyberwwwizard No offense, But maybe that's your time, I'm lets see, about 4 hours behind you stop trying to be smart. Enjoy your phone mate I guess it's a preference, I just like Apple, maybe you like Samsung, that's it. :)

[Cyberwwwizard]

@DeadlyInertia - there's no trying to be smart, I'm of the age where I am and you are clearly are not. You think you're 4 hours away when you're only round the corner!

[DeadlyInertia]

@Cyberwwwizard Actually, your still wrong, as I'm in the Caribbean right now. Anything else before your ignored?

[Cyberwwwizard]

@DeadlyInertia - your profile says manchester, see you when you get back.

[DeadlyInertia]

@Cyberwwwizard I do live in manchester I'm on Vacation, you live there?

[overithiswire]

@9820208725 The ipad is the best fucking tablet and will only get much better in time. Go ahead and buy this thing i'd hope a moron as dumb as you would waste your money on something that half way works. FOOL!

[9820208725]

@overithiswire apple slave



[9820208725]

licccccck ur i-pad moron 

[overithiswire]

@9820208725 not to mention this fucking this is made out of cheap plastic!!!!!!!

[KeshaIsHot808]

@overithiswire ipads made out of recycled soda cans

[overithiswire]

@9820208725 oh yea and have fun using it for 3 hours while i use my ipad for 3 days without needing a charge.

[LakrisiK]

@overithiswire you gonna have to bend over and suck ur own cock when you get a fully flash based website to access from you iPad

[overithiswire]

@LakrisiK I won't have to! I'll have your momy do the cock sucking part. She should have swallowed you though!!! Hahaha. I'm just kidding. HTML5 is fine for me. I never visit fully flashed based websites. If i do it is so rare. Flash is a terrible technology. As i stated before- I an a huge android fan! I have a Droid X. I love it. Flash works terrible on it though. The ipad is sick man. I'm not just saying that. I'm a nerd i love all technology. From windows to apple. From android to ios.

[overithiswire]

@LakrisiK Just read up on gizmodo's review of the device. For all you android users I am an android user as well. I LOVE ANDROID! But my friends the ipad is seriously so much better than this thing. I have tired both. It's not just my opinion it's fact! They released this device to fast. I hope motorola makes a DROID tablet. Then we can say there is a tablet on the market that is as good or better then the ipad. That's all i am saying. Fags!!

[captainspacehammer]

@tropsees I'm gettin' my Galaxy Tab for Christmas

[overithiswire]

@captainspacehammer you'll be very disappointed.

[roy15840]

can you surf web and talk at the same time

"While Android gadgets are mainly aimed at consumers, the app [ContactsCalendarSync] could make them more appealing to business users as well. That's crucial to Android's success, as most

smartphone users today are so-called pro-sumers: They use the devices for both business and entertainment." Olga Kharif, Senior Writer, BusinessWeek . com

[simonysim92]

it's too small :( doubt it can produce great apps.

[zorroman6]

THE Apple guys are Not gonna like this shit xD

[ShinySoulSilver]

@zorroman6 What the hell are you talking about? If anything, this will INCREASE Apple's sales.

[IvanPavlov]

Too small

[strikeahmed2]

what is the price of it

[simsalfred7]

@strikeahmed2 most likely it is $499 like the iPad. but then im hearing its going to be $630. so really i dont know

[z00h]

600 quid they want for it... LOL. and what's up with the 16:9 screen? At least apple got that bit right anything other than 4:3 on a tablet is pointlessss.

[TheZedo999]

Hmmm......iPad in my backpack, or Galaxy Tab in my pocket?

No, wait...I dont own a backpack!

Thanks Samsung for a "true" mobile comunicadoesall device.

[garytcw]

@TheZedo999

You plan to put the Galaxy tab in your pocket?

[TheZedo999]

@garytcw

Definately. Where else an I gonna put it when I'm on the go? I dont have a man purse, lol.

[xpunx1]

NO PHONE ON US VERSION... Big mistake!.... Business users won't be buying another toy.... The Ipad sucks too... It's good for kids... We need multitasking machines to replace our lame old ones.... Not lame new ones... Not buying this for the holidays... If they are smart they will bring the European version to the US... That one has the phone included... NO PHONE NO DEAL.... I'll wait till Toshiba or Dell invent something really useful... Dumb on the CEO of Samsung's part...

[RobertCamaroZ28]

@xpunx1 Wait, are you sure there won't be a phone on the U.S. version? I'm considering buying this, and I don't want the Phone feature; that be awesome :D

[XxMusicBoyRookiexX]

imagine if android and apple make one product togetheer a laptop better yet a tablet!=D thts 8 by 5 LED super amoled screen $200 - $500 without monthly fees a samsung 8megapixel camera front and back android 4.0 software apples apps each for 99centsgood resolution too 3d gaming no restrictions on downloading good internet connection being able to use internet connection for calling connection everywhere and 4G! plus 10 hours of battery life! that would be the ultimate product

[XxMusicBoyRookiexX]

now the real competition is blackberry playbook vs Samsung tablet

[gionice212]

samsung is so late this is coming out 1Q next year archos 7.1 and 10.0 and 4.3 and 2.8 and 3.2 come out 4Q this year

[ponypaddocks]

Yeah! Fuck the iPad !!!

I was only saying yesterday at work that I'm fucking sick of companies like APPLE bringing out a new product and deliberately omitting features and saving them for the next version, forcing the Early Adopters (AKA wankers!) to fork out more money to update. I mean REALLY, look at iPhone1.....what?...... video phones weren't already when they released it without one.

[bluemanan]

blackberry playbook ftw

[miguelangel098765]

damn copycats! The IPAD is a thousand times better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do not be assholes. do not compare that shit with IPAD! hahaha and if it exceeds assure you that apple is going to revolutionize the IPAD

[cjswnsdl]

@miguelangel098765 ur just showing ur ignorance.. copycat? no.. not at all..

design looks totally different and has more features.. cameras on both front and back.

flash support, 7 inch and very lite which is good for women who's mad at huge heavy ipad that they cannot handle.

[sneakybeaver100]

@miguelangel098765 somebody's mad that he just saw this, and got his ipad 2 days ago huh?

[carlosbobadillatapia]

So i f i use Skype i can use it as a phone and only pay like $ 30 month. This is the only reason thats is keeping me from getting the Samsung Epic.

[paronfisk]

I want one!

[cjswnsdl]

@politacucrini think about ur shifty face.. what's wrong with that nice product?

[politacucrini]

@cjswnsdl u work in the samsung crap? If not, shove it and stop being ok with such full of shit product.

[cjswnsdl]

@politacucrini then explain why this product is a piece of shit

[politacucrini]

@cjswnsdl try doing [u] anything [/u] profi with any spica series android phone without having to pay extra for it and than we talk

if one day samsung would be the only one producer world wide, i would have to give up mobile phone.

PS: here also their service sucks

[politacucrini]

@cjswnsdl forget about the games and do something really profi, like with WM phones.

[cjswnsdl]

@politacucrini what r u talking about?? what's with the wm and androids have to do with the galaxy tab? ur comments do not make any sense.. 

[politacucrini]

@cjswnsdl what don't u understand? In all the maters, wm is WAY better than android. Now, tell me please, what OS does this piece of crap from samsung use?

PS: I ask u once again: r u representing those shitheads of samsung in youtube? or what?

PS2: r u dumb or blind?

[NateX88]

@politacucrini By saying the Windows Mobile is better than ANYTHING, you are telling everyone to never listen to your opinions or ideas.

WM is garbage, it always has been, and always will be. The clunky interface, the horrible software support, everything. Android and iOS are a completely different level to WM, and are completely incomparable.

[politacucrini]

@NateX88 might be garbage. but it 's the only profi system for now. iOS and Android are for kids which need high tech to play games. Also between iOS and Android  I would choose iOS

[gamelegion]

@cjswnsdl you seem to be the one full of shit... there is NO other product currently on the market that can match it... so how exactly is it full of shit???! Just stop hating...

[cjswnsdl]

@gamelegion NO what im saying is that maybe it's less than the ipad . but there's no reason to say it's a piece of shit just because it's less than the ipad.. u need to change ur way of thinking bro.

[gamelegion]

@cjswnsdl Your response doesn't make any sense. Number one, the galaxy tab is in no way 'less' than the ipad... except maybe in cost. It is technically superior in every aspect. But number two, I'm not the one that was calling it a piece of shit... you were.

[cjswnsdl]

@gamelegion i was commenting bunch of ppl who was hating galaxy tab for no reason and u just commented me that i am one of the hater.. so ur first comment to me was the one that does not make any sense.. i think there was a mistake so let's stop here.

[politacucrini]

shitty company with crap products. Hope they get bankrupcy

[mintOK]

probably a rushed product to cash in on the holiday season. im sure samsung can do better than that. give me my AMOLED display!
