Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab review: An expanding universe

26 October 2010
Not so long ago the tablet was a futureless species, stuck in an evolutionary dead-end. The technology and the the operating systems didn't offer the right balance of portability and usability to suit its needs. But just look at it now...

      jukos, 27 Oct 2010As I'm aware off. The iPad isn't first tab, actually - thir... morewell... tablets have been around in one form or anther for some time now. Archos tablets have been out for aaaaages and let's not forget the slew of tablet-PCs with the swivel-screens.

      Anyway, looks like a really well thought out product that easily does what it's meant to do. It's just a shame that the screen shows ghosting - I'm surprised Samsung would even bother making a >12ms panel in 2010! Also the price ... yikes. These aren't deal breakers though.

      The deal breaker for me is the proprietary connector. I don't care if you're iRiver, Sandisk, Samsung, Apple or whoever: proprietary cables suck.

      Fix the price, screen and connection and then we'll have a killer device.

          As I'm aware off. The iPad isn't first tab, actually - third. HTC Shift without keyboard and HTC "Athena" X7500, X7501. HTC is the pioneer "kind off " I know that was first in smartphone industry and in symbiotic way to put together notebook and smartphone in a (look a like) tab.
          Just my humble opinion.
          Thanks.
          Please correct me if u think I'm wrong.

              Wow, this looks very interesting piece of kit, pricing is very steep but at lest it will give you uncompromised web browsing experience. Had iPad couple of days and browsing net was horrendous, so many videos didn't open due to lack of flash support and it just placed a picture where video content should have been so it looked like there is something at least. Dreadful.

              Well done Samsung, just kind of gadget I've been waiting for and hopefully MeeGo tablet will be launched soon. Can't wait.

                      I do love it, even though it copied LauncherPro application styling home button, and HTC Helicopter view and re-arranging Screens in Helicopter View, it's a good well made product but!!!!
                      WAY OVERPRICED
                      Even then it has Full gsm functionality enabled, Archos has the Nvidia CPU-GPU which is FAR FAR Better than A8 Cortex Humming bird any time!!!
                      I would have considered it if it was around 400 euros, and it would've killed the IPAD market, but samsung screwed this opportunity up with the price!
                      not to conisder Android is open source, so they only pay for google apps such has market and Maps
                      Shame! It would've changed things forever
