Seems like Apple finally got some real competition for their iPad in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a tablet running Android. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab during an electronics fair in Berlin. Instead of calling it a tablet, Samsung is calling the Galaxy Tab a
smart media device.
The Galaxy Tab runs Android 2.2 with a 1Ghz Cortex A8 processor, 512MB RAM, and either 16 or 32 GB of internal memory upgradable
through microSD cards.
Furthermore it features a 7″ TFT-LCD screen capable of 1024×600 resolution, 2 cameras, one a 3-megapixel with flash at the the back
and the other a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera for video calling. Connectivity include WiFi and 3G. Samsung claims that the Galaxy Tab will be capable of 7 hours battery life during movie
playback, supporting a variety of formats like DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263 and H.264.
The Galaxy Tab will be available from October through Vodafone in Europe, so there might just be hope for us South Africans to get our hand on this soon, perhaps before the iPad is available in South Africa.
