I went to a huge supermarket store on Sunday and found myself in the electronics department playing with Samsung Galaxy Tab.  Lovely piece of equipment.   They had it playing music and the sound in my opion is far better than Ipad.  However, it is pricey for what is is.   Well, anything new will be expensive when it is first introduced to any market.

The main question for most users will be the 7in size of the device itself. It isn’t a smartphone, but it also isn’t really a living-room tablet. Placed next to the iPad, the Galaxy Tab almost looks a totally new category of product.

Compared to the iPad,  the Galaxy Tab feels tiny, so it’s perhaps surprising that the screen doesn’t feel cramped in use despite it having a 1,024 x 600 resolution to the iPad’s 1,024 x 768.

It’s significantly lighter than the iPad as well (385g to 680g).  It should be out and about with you every day, all day. And because it’s so small, it can comfortably fit in a jacket pocket. Believe it or not, it even slips into a jeans back pocket.

The screen is of high quality. Measuring 7in diagonally across, its biggest strength is its sheer brightness. Pump it up to full and photos pack a real punch, so much so that it could fool you into thinking it’s a Super AMOLED panel rather than a plain old TFT and it can be a little picky so most people will have few complaints about this.

Why not look at this Youtube Samsung Galaxy Tab review below:

Here is Samsung Galaxy Tab size comparison to Ipad picture:

I am a Samsung fan but I bought Ipad a few months ago and now I wished I had waited.  I think it is a fun size to carry around.

Samsung Galaxy Tab has seldom left the headlines since its Berlin debut.

Samsung’s three key custom apps are their email client, the calendar and the address book. The latter splits the screen in two, with an alphabetical list of contacts on the left and a preview pane on the right; there are two tabs in the preview, the first showing all that contact’s details, the second a recent history of calls and messages sent and received andFacebook friends can be imported, and contacts can be grouped or individual favorites picked out.

With a 1GHz CPU it is certainly capable of keeping the Tab multitasking nicely, but the difference between software designed for a smartphone and software intended for a bigger screen is primarily one of how best to use the pixels on offer. The iPad has a time advantage in tablet-centric third party software, but we are expecting and hoping Android platform developers will soon be looking to making their apps more appropriate for tablet-scale devices.

Samsung has given the Galaxy Tab two cameras, a primary 3-megapixel autofocus unit on the back, paired with an LED flash, and a 1.3-megapixel camera above the slate’s display, intended for video calls. The camera app itself is pretty standard fare, with buttons for shooting mode, scenes, flash on/off/auto, exposure and settings running down the left side of the display, and a camera/camcorder mode toggle, shutter release button and gallery shortcut on the right side. Icons along the top of the display show image/video resolution, GPS status (if the optional geotagging is switched on), number of shots left, where they’re being stored (to the Tab’s internal memory or to microSD) and battery status. The main camera can shoot up to 2048 x 1536 stills.

As for video, there are unsurprisingly fewer options, with a choice of limiting recording length to suit MMS messages, no scenes, manual control over the LED flash (which works as a camera light), and exposure. There are also the same white balance and effects options as for images, and a toggle for audio recording. The main camera can shoot up to 720 x 480 30fps footage; it’s not possible to flip to the front-facing lens and record video from the secondary camera, at least with the Tab’s regular app. Image quality is unsurprisingly less impressive than, say, the output from Samsung’s recent line of Android smartphones, which generally get 5-megapixel sensors. The primary shortcoming is detail, with color balance and exposure generally good. As with all LED flash units, there’s a relatively narrow sweet-spot outside of which subjects are either overblown or hopelessly under-illuminated. There’s also no touch-focus support, and we couldn’t get as close to subjects for macro shots as we would’ve liked. Video, meanwhile, lacks the detail of 720p content, but the reasonable 30fps rate means there’s not too much blur in fast moving subjects. Still, the Tab isn’t going to replace a point-and-shoot camcorder.

I hope this post has been helpful.  Good luck with which you choose to buy as your new toy.  Maybe you should ask Santa Claus to put one in your stocking for Christmas.
