Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 hardware and software video tour

MobileBurn.com - The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android tablet is the kid brother to the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and was originally announced at CTIA back in April of this year. Samsung is finally releasing it to market, and the final specifications have not changed since its launch. It is the same thing as the larger Galaxy Tab 10.1, but with a 1.2 inch smaller display. The 8.9 is powered by the now-familiar dual-core 1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM that we have seen on many Android Honeycomb tablets. It comes in 16GB and 32GB capacities. Like the 10.1, the 8.9 is very thin and light, measuring only 8.6mm thin and weighing 447g. It runs Android 3.1 Honeycomb with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. Interested buyers can pick up the Galaxy Tab 8.9 on October 2. The 16GB model costs $469, while the 32GB edition is $569. More info: http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=13633

Some people... let's call them Apple users... can't stand competition, only when it is noticeably inferior to their products. Heaven forbid a premium tablet that does everything an iPad can do, better and more, is on the market. Sue them, at least until the next iPad comes out.

I'd like a 10'' tablet with a super amoled screen. Will wait for that.

maybe i would geta ipad 2 or 3 instead of this or any other 3.0 tablet or higher if if it had adobe flash and a better interface. Apples home screens are so boring now with a new ceo and owner its time for change in apple heck name it orange. And can i geta side of 4g lte to go....LOL.

Hi People. I know this comment is not related to the video, but our company is going under (incl all my saving) and this is my desperate last resort to promote our iphone app. it's called "FS Viewer" and "Analyst Rating Tracker". If u have sympathy, then please download it for us... it costs u guy barely nothing.

if you root it and install custom rom, it will be smooth.
