Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 preview: First look

14 June 2011
Samsung are really taking tablets seriously these days. They already have three offerings this year. The other two are more compact, but it's the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that will lead the team ahead in enemy territory. The trio surely has one hard...

with this preview i think everyone will finally consider that gsm arena never take sides.. a bunch of apple's post back then really drive people crazy.. and for tablet pc, i think the throne still belong to ipad 2, it's fact, not an opinion..

btw, in reality, if i had the money, i would go for this smokin hot tablet.. ipad is too boring, well if you loved that straight-to-the-apps home screen then maybe you'll be fine with it..

aaand, i never figured out what use is a tablet pc would be? sure it's way more easy to carry around than a laptop, but i never had to carry laptop around.. i guess this is just not for me.. :)

    Asif Pune, 15 Jun 2011I would like to know if this Tab has cell phone GSM SIM car... moreYes there is. You can plug a telephone line on it and use it as a landline. There's also a SIM card slot but it only works on pre-paid cards. There's also a DVD RW drive that opens up at a push of a button and it got LightScribe on it so you can make DVD's on the go. There's also a version with a BluRay drive so you can show your friends you can watch BluRay DVD's. It also have a barometer, bread toaster, blood pressure monitor, blood sugar monitor, microscope, mood detection and artificial intelligence so you can talk to your Tab when your friends don't want to talk to you and your Galaxy tab will talk smack back at you.

        I would like to know if this Tab has cell phone GSM SIM card insertion facility. I mean I can make a phone call and second thing if I can play DVDs. Also I would like to know if it has the facility to download live TV or streaming videos from the internet.

              In Australia I have the 10.1v which is 8MP camera. Seems to have a different interface and the photos are good. The tablet is only 16GB but I think the benefits of the camera outweigh the memory available.

                      I held the LG's slate and right away was convinced that 8.9 is better size =D

                      SGSII and Galaxy Tab is overkill right...? lol

                            Looks cool. But still unable to decide between this and 8.9. Dont know if I really require telephonic capabilities of 8.9 while on the move (I have sgs already).

                                        Very nice preview. I still prefer the Galaxy Tab 8.9 though. Honestly, I hope the back cover for the 8.9 is all black instead of the white. Cheers!
