Samsung Galaxy Tab was presented at the IFA show in Berlin today. This is the first real competitor to the Apple iPad and it’ll be fun to see how it will be received. The Galaxy is running Android 2.2 and has the size of 7″. It also has both front (1,3MP) and back (3MV) cameras, something I’ll envy as long as I have my iPad…. You can also use it for phone calls, with headset/mic or as conference phone placed on the table. Screen resolution is 1024×600 and it comes with 16GB internal storage and is expandable with another 32.
One thing I’m not quite sure about is the recommended retail price of kr. 7 400 NOK (about $1 200 USD and €940 EUR) . A bit expensive.
The press coverage in Norway has been very positive, and we’re back to the iWhatever-killer terms of devices. Read more in Digi.no (Norwegian article), appraisal in Dagbladet (Norwegian) or VG (Norwegian).
I’m looking forward to get a test run with this device and compare it to the iPad.
Does it fit in you pocket is the big question. I dont care if it is a bit large, as long as I can carry it in my pocket.
