Samsung officially debuted their new Galaxy Tab tablet yesterday and said that it’s at least as good as the iPad, if not better. Some areas where it has a leg up on the iPad are its dual cameras (front and back) that both allow picture taking and video chat. It also weighs only 0.8 pounds compared to a similliarly equipped iPad coming in at 1.6 pounds.
The Galaxy Tab also comes with built-in 3G, not as an added option. The screen is only 7″ compared to the iPad’s 9.7″. Even though the screen resolution is 1024 x 600 most all Android apps and games will work fine on it Samsung said. Here’s the rest of the specs:
- processor: Cortex A8 1GHz
- 802.11n Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 3.0
- full quad-band GDSM/EDGE and tri-band 900/1900/2100 7.2Mbps HSDPA (no AT&T for now)
- 3 megapixel camera on the back with a flash and auto-focus, and a 1.3 megapixel user-facing camera
- accelerometer
- 32GB of internal memory, up to 32GB with microSD, 512MB of RAM
The Galaxy Tab will come with Android 2.2 Froyo with full flash support. Here’s their official commercial:
No price was announced but look for it to come in under the iPad’s price.
