Samsung has finally announced the much awaited Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 tablet at the ongoing IFA 2010 convention in Berlin, Germany. Loaded with Google's Android Froyo 2.2 operating system, this 7-inch touchscreen display bearing Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 will surely give a tough fight to the Apple iPad tablet. Capable of full HD videos playback, Galaxy Tab will also have Readers Hub app for eBook aficionados. Hassle free web browsing can be enjoyed, thanks to the Flash Player 10.1 support. Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 tablet will be available in Europe in two weeks from now and will be launched in US, Asia and Korea in the coming months. However, there's no word on the price of this tablet.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 has 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen display that supports 1024x600 WSVGA pixel resolution. It is disappointing that it doesn't carry an AMOLED screen.
Internally, Galaxy Tab houses practically the same hardware found in the Galaxy S GT-i9000 touchscreen smartphone. Just like the smartphone, the Galaxy Tab will run Android Froyo 2.2 update along with Android Market and Samsung Apps to download apps. Just like we reported earlier, the same 1.0GHz Cortex A8 Humming Bird application CPU with PowerVR SGX540 GPU remains at the heart of this tablet.
Packing 512MB RAM, Samsung will offer the Galaxy Tab in 16GB and 32GB versions. Of course, you can add up to 32GB memory card in the expandable memory slot.
For connectivity, Galaxy Tab will support quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks and tri-band 3G (HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps) networks. There's no mention of the CDMA version of Galaxy Tab that buzzed on the web two days ago. One can always use the Wi-Fi (802.11n) for faster browsing experience and use Bluetooth 3.0 for wireless connectivity with other devices/peripherals.
Galaxy Tab jabs iPad by showing off its 1.3megapixel front camera and 3 megapixel autofocus camera at the back. Also, video calling has been enabled in this Android tablet. Interactive 3D gaming as well as several other apps, Samsung has added Gyroscope sensor and Accelerometer sensors along with Geo-Magnetic sensor.
Users would be able to enjoy full HD movie playback on the 7-inch screen and also read eBooks or magazines on the go using the Readers Hub application. Samsung also packs Swype, an interactive onscreen keyboard input app and ThinkFree Suite that takes cares of your MS Office Documents.
