The other day we saw a video promo of the new Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet in action. Samsung has now released a new video which shows more of the features of the Galaxy Tab.
As you will see in the video below, you get an idea of what the built-in email client will be like in the Galaxy Tab as well as a range of other features, including the voice calls in action.
Features and Functionalities
The Samsung Galaxy Tab certainly does look quite impressive from the video. It will be interesting to see what it is like in real life and how it compares to the Apple iPad. The video showcases the tablet’s ability to handle various tasks seamlessly, such as browsing the web, checking emails, and even making voice calls. This multi-functionality is one of the key selling points of the Galaxy Tab.
Specifications wise, the Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with a 7-inch WSVGA touchscreen display, and runs the latest version of Google’s Android OS, Android 2.2 Froyo. This version of Android was known for its improved performance and new features, such as support for Adobe Flash, which allows for a richer web browsing experience.
Other features include a 3-megapixel camera on the rear, plus a front-facing VGA camera. The rear camera is capable of taking decent photos and videos, while the front camera is ideal for video calls. There is also GPS and a range of Google services built in, such as Google Maps, Gmail, and Google Calendar, making it a versatile device for both personal and professional use.
Market Position and Pricing
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is due to go on sale next month. We are still waiting on some official pricing from Samsung, but have seen it listed on various websites for slightly different prices. The pricing strategy will be crucial for Samsung as it aims to compete with the Apple iPad, which has already established a strong presence in the tablet market.
In terms of market positioning, the Galaxy Tab is aimed at users who are looking for a portable yet powerful device that can handle a variety of tasks. Its 7-inch screen makes it more portable than the iPad, which has a larger 9.7-inch screen. This could appeal to users who prioritize portability and ease of use.
The Galaxy Tab also supports voice calls, which is a feature not available on the iPad. This could make it an attractive option for users who want a device that can function as both a tablet and a phone. Additionally, the inclusion of a front-facing camera makes it suitable for video conferencing, which is becoming increasingly important in today’s remote working environment.
