Samsung Galaxy Tab – the first internet tablet from Samsung

Samsung Galaxy Tab is a new internet tablet that will be launched by Samsung in a few months and will compete with Apple's iPad tablet. The new tablet from Samsung will run Android 2.2 Froyo, it will most likely have an AMOLED screen and it will look exactly like the image above, which is quite unusual. Today, the first information regarding the hardware specifications of the tablet appeared, the information was "collected" from the first firmware for the Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab tablet and it looks something like this:

  • Screen resolution 480×800;
  • Camera Max resolution 2048×1536;
  • Camcorder Max resolution 2048×1536. (Not sure about this info);
  • Front cam Max resolution 240×320;
  • CPU Profile ARM11;
  • CPU Core S5PC110;
  • CPU speed 1.0GHz;
  • flash player;
  • GPS. (Google Maps);
  • WIFI;
  • SyncML support;
  • swipe;
  • JavaScript 1.5;
  • Bluetooth (Don't know the version yet).

I for one don't call it an iPad killer yet because it's months away from launch and a lot can still change, but only on the hardware side. The rectangular shape would have represented a great big advantage if it had other dimensions, more precisely if it was wider it would have been perfect for surfing the Internet, watching movies, playing games, but in its current form it seems to me to be more of an attempt at internet tablet than something else. I don't think there will be many buyers for this tablet, but that's just my opinion.
