Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v
Samsung was the first manufacturer to provide a credible iPad competitor with its original Samsung Galaxy Tab and now the company is back with a bigger and better tablet - the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. As the name suggests, the Galaxy Tab offers a 10.1-inch screen with a 1280x800 resolution – the same as the Xoom and slightly larger than the iPad's 9.7-inches and 1024x768 resolution.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the first tablets to run Google's Android 3.0 Honeycomb platform, which has been specifically designed for tablets. The software is a "vanilla" version of the Honeycomb OS, so it doesn't come with any Samsung UI overlays like the Galaxy S Android phone does.
The screen is a TFT LCD panel and I found it to be extremely bright and crisp. The touchscreen is zippy, while the interface (which has no custom overlay) is slick and intuitive. There are five different homescreens that can be fully customised with widgets and apps.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1v has got two superb cameras – the rear one can take 8-megapixel shots and also record 1080p HD video, while the front 2-megapixel camera can be used for video conferencing. I have fallen in love with the intuitive interface of the camera app, with a range of settings and effects accessible within a few touches.
The 1GHz Nvidia dual-core processor is more than capable of handling day-to-day tasks, while the tablet includes 16GB of storage space (only about 14GB of which was actually usable). There is no microSD slot to expand the storage space - Samsung clarified that this feature is only available on the updated version that will launch in the third quarter of this year.
