Running Android 2.2 (Froyo) with a 7-inch TFT-LCD WSVGA screen (1024×600), the Galaxy Tab has enough gusto to run the most taxing apps and HD movies. A Cortex A8 1.0GHz processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, just like its smaller Samsung Galaxy S brother. Variants of 16GB and 32GB both come with 512MB RAM. Tack on another 32GB by slipping in a microSD.
Wirelessly connected with standard Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi 802.11n, quad-band 2.5G and tri-band 3G (HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps). To my dismay, it’s running Samsung’s TouchWiz UI of which I haven’t grown to be a fan of on the mini-screen. In front there’s a 1.3MP CCD for video conferencing, on the flipside, a 3MP auto-focusing, LED flash touting camera; no HD video recording on this one.
Samsung mentions DiVX certification, first of any tablet and will most likely tie heavily into over-the-air movie and TV show rentals. This is a sexy looking slab of a gadget, and we cant wait to take a look first hand. You can expect for a European launch in mid-September, with the rest of the good Earth (US too) later this year. Hands on action to come from the IFA show floor.
