eh this one really hard to justify.. too huge for a phone but too small for a tablet.

i wonder how will it be carried around? i doubt it can fit pockets, maybe huge pockets.

No need simcard, A-gps does not mean it is inferior to GPS alone.

The assisted is for cellular triangulation to speed up location lock.
It is actually the apps that require the data transfer, cause google maps don't store the maps in ur phone.

But if you have brut mod or some other map apps with the maps stored in the phone, you don't even need any sim/data.

Please understand what A-GPS means before thinking 'aiya'. lol

Yes, A-GPS means assisted GPS, it should come with a fully functional GPS chip.

The assisted is for either wifi IP location or cell triangulation to speed up location determination. It's like a value added feature I suppose.

Disabling wireless location will stop the A-gps function and only use the GPS to determine location.

Papago can be installed to use the maps/navigation in 'offline' mode.

How can you achieve cellular triangulation if you have no cell connection (via sim card)?

You can choose to switch it on or off.
If you switch wireless networks off, cellular triangulation will not be active and location will be determined solely via GPS signal.

The cellular triangulation and/or wifi IP location determination is only active if you select wireless network location determination. It is an option to speed up location determination, not a requirement.

This is a tablet with phone/3G capabilities.

Call using a bluetooth headset or wired headset.

Carry around using a folder type case would be ideal.

Samsung reportedly selling a leather case that is for the galaxy tab.

No earphone speaker, only wireless or wired headset for making calls.
Samsung made sure so people won't look stupid holding a slab up their face.

still writting my review and later oni take pics and upload inside the other forum. i'm busy working on a review for the new LG e900.

basically not alot of apps was designed for this reso so i dont have a lot of things working.
However navigating with Papago X5 M'sia + MFM works on this but that also because i had 2 units of the galaxy tab. 1 wasn't functioning properly.
I could only manage to install papago on the 2nd unit. And because i have 2 units, 1 was on 2.2 and the other was on 2.1.
To make things worst, both performed differently, both had diffrent playtime and both somehow looked different (i suppose its the contrast or colorwise and not the exterior modelling)

i will write more once i get a confirmation on which is the pre-final release and which is going to be on sale.
i cant be bothered to write both. meanwhile be patient. i'll write up more stuff once i have the time. i'm getting married soon so i need to concentrate on that.

Not having most apps work at that resolution may be a deal breaker. But then again, devs should expect to create apps for higher resolutions based on the slew of tablets to be release within the next 6-10 months.

Although Galaxy Tab will be official in few hours, Samsung has revealed few of the tablet specs. The “Smart Media Device” aka Galaxy Tab measures just 11.98 in thickness, weighs 380 grams and runs Android 2.2.

Samsung has also confirmed its screen resolution along with the CPU, which is a 7-inch display with WSVGA resolution (1024×600) and 1GHz CPU. Additionally, you’d get access to Google services, Android market and SNS support.

With the TFT LCD instead of AMOLED or S-AMOLED, we can look towards a competitive pricing. The only thing that would really make it expensive would have been the screen.

Hopefully we can get it around the SGS price. Then I would snap it up.

And yes it does look very very snappy, and this is good news as it means they can optimise 2.2 on the SGS as well.


Added on September 2, 2010, 5:44 pmConfirmed same processor as the SGS, based on screenshots of the system info stats.
Somehow endadget reported wrongly.


Added on September 2, 2010, 5:46 pmAnother thing is available RAM is above 400MB on the tab. So I hope on SGS froyo, we get 400+ ram as well, instead of the current 326mb.

It will be cheaper than iPad if need to compete with it. Seriously iPad overpriced for a handicapped tablet. I have to install n purchased 3rd party apps and setup goaruna and drop box accounts to cover the absence of USB port.
There is no front camera in iPad, so no video using Skype.
Video other formats not approved by apple need convert or buy 3rd party
I can write a long list of all iPad deficiency and how I overcome it with mainly more money spending on apps. Will post in my blog when ready

This SAMSUNG tab is great based on all the reviews I have read. Since I have iPad and already spend additional money , time to learn overcoming all it's limitations, will stick with it. As an alternative to a smaller android tablet I have book the 5 in Dell streak

Honestly Samsung might have done a big mistake with the screen size. Maybe the CPU was not powerful enough to drive the device smooth if the screen size was increase. However, looking at Tegra2 based Folio, I really think the point of having a tablet is to improve readability and reduce the need to pinch and zoom like we did on Android phone.

i think the size is depends on what you want.

If you want it to be portable, 7 inch and super light weight really boost it.

10" will good for more task oriented and also long hours of reading

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another features of Tab, printing straight from it to printer


Seriously i think functionality POV, Tab beats iPad badly.

I wonder if buying a tablet qualified for income tax reduction... hahaha...

For me, I think A8 is too slow for tablet.. besides knowing Gingerbread is coming, I would bet on something better. However, not much is known about Gingerbread nor Honeycomb. I would bet on Tegra 2 offering much better performance on Flash 10.

Samsung Galaxy Tab price

Samsung itself is telling us at IFA that no pricing has been announced and that any prices floating around are speculation -- but it seems the company has already announced a suggested retail prices of SEK 9,000 in Sweden including VAT, which works out to about $1,240 (or $930 without VAT)

(via Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/samsung...799-in-europe/)

if its not going to be cheaper than ipad, it won't sell as well as ipad mainly because consumers would believe ipad is far superior and with a bigger price tag than ipad, how can it compete? but i really do hope its much cheaper than ipad, I really would great one smile.gif

the price should be cheaper than iPad eventhough it has more features. simply because every products that are launched by Apple are eventually turn to be products to beat. just look like iPhone, iPod, Macbook Pro (this one not really neway) and also this iPad.

but even Galaxy S is priced not less than iPhone 4 at overseas. Guess Samsung is really confident with their products.

At first i thought it will be priced around 1.8-2k range, then i would have considered getting this. After i saw the suggested retail price of 930USD, i think i better get an ipad instead. Samsung will lose a lot of potential customers.

Putting a sticker at the back doesn't really mean anything.
The final product has a white plastic back, not the silver one.

I'm not defending anyone, but to make a slim tablet, I don't really see many ways besides it being rectangle and have a bezel.

The various buttons, capacitive or hardware and it does sport a PDMI which looks similar to apple's proprietary interface, but then again PDMI is supposed to be the next 'standard' for portable media devices.

Even such a low quadrant score the galaxy tab is flying. Imagine it with lagfix

I cant be too bothered about battery life for tablet since it will be primarily used for indoor usage. It has to have a powerful enough CPU to replace netbook.

I have a IPAD 3G 64GB and has been using for 3 months. From a functionality point of view, the Samsung Tab beats the iPad flat. I am using a Android phone Nexus ( Froyo) so I can more or less understand the software the Samsung Tab has. As was said before the ipad was considered a oversized ipod touch , similarly we can view the Samsung Tab as a oversized Galaxy S

The iPad is good as a gadget for CASUAL browsing ( it does not support Adobe Flash 10.1 , meaning as of now 75% of web videos you cannot watch ) , emails, a great ebook, magazine reader, rss and tweeter, games, watching Apple format videos etc. I have Jailbreak it to enhance its usage with other non-Approved JB apps

I'd like to highlight here here some points that one should know about the iPad's deficiency. One should know these limitations , then you can make a fairer comparison with the Android Tablet. I only list down here the main ones which most users will face

Hardware - it has no USB port and not even a front video camera. The absence of the USB port has hampered its functionality, which I will elaborate later

Officework Suite : iPad comes without any. Cheapest is to purchase Quickoffice US$15 or you buy Apple default iWork package of Pages, Keynote, Numbers - each will cost you US9.99, meaning all 3 will cost you close to US$30. It comes with just a simple note app. I bought Quickoffice and Keynote

Safari : Poor browser , main issue only one window one time and basically just a expanded phone browser. You can switch to another window but lose last window. I replace it with Atomic Browser and Life browser : cost me another US$3

Videos : Apple approved formats only , ie H.264 and MPEG-4 video in mp4, m4v and mov. In its approve formats, video is great. Others you need to convert using , say Handbrake or Air Video ( both free software ) or use third part free and paid ( I bought YX Player ) plays other non-Apple approved format but generally quality playback is poor. Is still a better option to convert. Some 3rd party video player works only on Jailbreak ipads

File Transfers to iPad : Easiest email yourself to retrieve file but not workable for big files, say above 10 MB - email over and download slow. You can use iTunes to transfer but this only for apps that are approved by Apple to read the files.
You can set up cloud services accounts eg GoAruna or Dropbox and upload files to them and access download files from ipad.
Only on Jailbreak iPad, you can use Wireless transfer using WinSCP ( Windows) or Cyberduck ( MAC). If you have a MAC, you can use Netatlk to transfer and also access files on the ipad

If you often need to transfer photos JPEG format, you can buy the Camera Connection Kit ( US$29) and plug into the iPad connector. The CCK also allows you to plugin SD card and thumb drives

You need to Jailbreak to install a File EXplorer ( quite few types available costing average US$1 to US3 ) . By default you cannot access the ipad files

EBooks : iPad reads only ePub format and PDF. If you have a collection of pdb, prc formats you have to use Calibre to convert it to epub format

Saving files from email : Attachments on email cannot be saved to the ipad for , say future reference. Only way you save the email or use 3rd party apps eg ReaddleDocs ( US$4.99) , open and save thro Goodreader ( US$0.99 ) or upload these to your Dropbox account

iPad does not support Multitasking. You close an app, you lose it. You need to Jailbreak and install Backgrounder ( free app ) to have multitasking. Disadvantage it takes up memory and I often have to close down apps manually else ipad will freeze with too many apps open

Battery is important to me, I want to use it outside. And I don't want a cable attached to it while I'm charging as it'll then limit the portability in the home as well.

If the price for the Galaxy tab is true....USD 900++, might better consider Notion Ink's Adam tablet . 10 inch and awesome features incl P.Qi..which is said to retail around USD 380-390+ for standard screen without P.Qi...or with P.Qi that comes to around 480-490+ ( which is much cheaper ).

If Galaxy Tab for Msian market can come down to level of 300-500...I think it's worth to look at..

For close to 1000 bucks....I doubt i will be interested to shell out so much..

Rather wait for Asus's Tablet early next year or Google's own tablet at the end of the year..

LG is coming out with their own tablet within this year...so, we shall see which one is more competitve..

have to wait till it reaches Malaysia about the availability and the pricing wise.



For now, can just sit back and relax first...hehehe....these last 3 months do expect a few other tablets coming our way too...

Not forgetting so called local brand " CSL ". with their MI700 due in Sept or Oct in Msian market...... tongue.gif

Maybe they're refering to allshare, which then streaming videos to and fro may be a possibility.
Or sharing pictures via the 2.

it'll be great if they can both combine and offer the following:

Preview + magnified view some way of websites/documents. That would be great. On the SGS i get the whole page preview with a small box that shows the magnified view, which is then translated to the tab.

It's a great 10 inch tablet. You can find lots of videos at youtube.

Their official sites are : www.notionink.com and www.notionink.in

Not available in Malaysia but you can buy online soon from the Indian's company in 2-3 months' time.

Guys Guys....just read on the price for the Tab from Berlin...

It cost almost USD 1K...siau....damn super expensive..

Read the article here.
http://www.devicemag.com/2010/09/03/samsun...759-in-germany/

Think have to forgo the Galaxy Tab.....and lookout for the following contenders ( cheaper i think ).

1. Adam from Notion Ink. 10 inch - a bit big
2. CSL MI700 ( Msia brand kah ? ) - sure make in Msia ? - 7 inch
3. Google Tablet...not sure either 7 or 10
4. Asus (10 inch) next year...hate it...a bit big..
5. Aigo from China - 7 inch.
6. Huawei S7 - 7 inch
7. MSI - 10 inch...a bit big oso...

Well, these are quite good units...others I have not mentioned as I don't think the specs are impressive..

Unless any others you have in mind, that I missed out ?

Hehehehe.....

Enjoy the reading about the enormous price of the Galaxy Tab..

Whether that's the real price of speculated price, we have to wait till the unit released locally before determining.

Indonesia has it's own capacitive 7" and 10" 2.1 tablets. Maybe you can explore that.

Those who are not in urgent need , should wait . I believe in about 3 months time, we will have not only more options but with more reviews of actual units for one to make a better decision. The biggest obstacle i see is how many of these will ever hit our shores . Of course you can always buy it online

Apple got their name and logo from a fruit. If we all want to get nitpicky about copying and stuff, there are many things we can argue about. But lets just discuss it on the merits of the hardware, software, and the company's support. Keep it objective I guess.

Check that video out.

Q&A session.

Main highlights:
1) Super TFT developed in parallel to Super-AMOLED
2) Super TFT is better optimised than super-AMOLED in a big screen device
3) Super TFT allows samsung to be in a better competitive position
4) Super TFT was chosen because of power consumption and price advantage
5) Super TFT is regarded as lower in colour display quality compared to Super-AMOLED, but price and power dictated it's place in SGT.

SGS's RRP is 2599.
media pricing is RM2k. i bought bout 8 units for my friends @ RM2k each.

yea finally received the retail unit for the 7" galaxy. i wouldnt call it a tablet considering it can make calls. its juz a big @ss phone.

@applewindows, considering the power, performance and price, i'd rather buy a full fledge notebook which can do more. 2699 is alot of money which can get u a nice c2d processor and an embedded 400m graphics chip with 2gb ram and 15" tft with a touchpad and keyboard and easily a 320gb drive.

if RM2599 then..
it's the same price with my Acer 4745G with 5470 ATI Mobility switchable which supported Dx11 plus 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD..
Damn pricey r SGT.. Plan to build my own gaming PC then if the price is such this expensive.. Can get Rampage III motherboard and i7 930 processor plus GTX460 Nvidia GC..
If Samsung believe they can compete other tablet with this price then, I hope they think twice before launch it here.. shakehead.gif

ipad wifi with 3G is also around that price.

And i guess 2.6k is Malaysia price, so most likely singapore or Hong Kong will have cheaper price, as in AP set.

Apple got their name and logo from a fruit. If we all want to get nitpicky about copying and stuff, there are many things we can argue about. But lets just discuss it on the merits of the hardware, software, and the company's support. Keep it objective I guess.

confirmation on price - samsung galaxy updated new unit with new VR chip RRP is RM 2699.
most of the specs stays the same cept for a newer VR chip and 1GHz processor as opposed to 1.2 GHz processor.

just received another unit today evening. now i have 3 units with me and all not worth the price.
*
RM 2699 is based on internal Flash Storage of 16 GB or 8 gb ? With 3G ?

You mentioned not worth the price...you mean the specs, speed and quality is not that good or upto expectation for such price ?

YES Archos. These new ranges are awesome. I might bring in a few units of 7 inch tablet. ( Both 8 GB SSD and 250GB HDD version ). Might import in and sell here at Lowyat.... drool.gif

Official released date for 7 " and 10 " might be in October in Europe..then Asia...likely in November/December.

have u any idea what kinda laptop or netbook u can buy with 2699 ?

any c2d processor is faster than a 1GHz hummingbird.
any chapmuck 400m graphics chip is faster than whatever VR chip.
the tab has a small amount of space while the notebook or netbook u choose starts at a minimum of 10" and above.
battery life will be better on a netbook or a notebook.

lightweight is the only thing the netbook or notebook or laptop will lose out to the tab. for a pathetic 7" i'd rather look at my 14" notebook which only cost me 2399. and i can play warcraft 3 on it. though i only have an integrated x4100 chip for graphics its still good enough for me.

why buy a tab when you can own a super powerful notebook ? if its weight concerned, buy a netbook with no rom in it ler. i bet you can do more in the netbook than on that tab.

Its the same with the Ipad, no different. But then again, there's some stuff u get when u use a tablet compared to a notebook:

- Touchscreen
- Fun factor
- Augmented reality
- 3G / Wifi / Phone
- Compact & Lightweight
- Bragging rights?

Pretty much that's it..the feel is different than when using a notebook, but I do agree that its just a bit too costly.

Ah......ya, the trend is towards tablet ma. Notebook is old technology. People want a phone, web surfing, games, portability, gps, emails, sms, mms, facebook, etc on the go. Now people are all very busy lah making money and the tablet will serve their needs on the go. I got an ipad but I find it cumbersome carrying it around. Personally I prefer a 5" tablet where I can put my boss in my pocket (he always disturb me with his phone call)

ipad. its apps stores are very much under control and there's still more apps flooding it. android is still playing catch up.

for an android tab, this is just too pricey. i'll wait for viewsonic's tab on froyo to arrive in my hands. and then i might reconsider.

actually, all tablet are reserved for anyone that get bored with notebook/netbook, and want extra features integrated together..
Easy to say, they are just like an add-on to any users that have extra funds and really want to be in style playing with the tablet while sitting in KTM, LRT or waiting for bus, library, park, etc..
Don't blame the manufacturers for creating them and the price is not affordable for average person..
They try to fulfilled filthy rich people needs and show that they really will to be in the market..
Samsung, Dell, Apple, Archos are trying so hard now.. And don't be surprised if after this tablet will overshadowed smartphone if the price is equivalent between them.. hmm.gif hmm.gif

So then, when you travel abroad example anywhere else that no WiFi connectivity available, you can't surf internet at all right as only 2G is supported (errmmm, maybe can but a slower I think?).. I think it's not possible bro..

no, do you know what is wireless tethering? Means, Use your phone become a wifi modem. The phone change the edge/2G/3G to become wireless.

Then you use the Galaxy Tab to use that wifi(mifi since is mobile)

If the Galaxy tab can be retail for around RM 2 K it is a good buy. Then I will sell off my " handicapped" iPad for it

Android is not ready to be used on tablets yet, says Google's director of mobile products, Hugo Barra.

Barra said Google wouldn't allow its app store on tablets because the applications wouldn't run properly on the bigger screens. "If you want Android market on that platform, the apps just wouldn't run, [Froyo] is just not designed for that form factor," says Barra.

He hinted that future versions of Android will be modified to operate better on a tablet computer.

Most apps will work as can be seen in the Galaxy tab. Some apps the developer will need to redevelop it for the bigger screen. Is same as the iPad,to date only 25000 apps are for iPAD while the rest of the 200000 apps are still in iphone format. Trying to use the ipad to use these non iPAD compatible apps is just a double magnified size - the graphic resolution is terrible especially on letters/graphics . Such apps you are seeing just a 6.5 to 7" display on a 9 " screen. I have given up using most of such apps until the developer does a iPAD version

Attended Singtel Accelerate Conference in Singapore. Samsung showcased Galaxy Tab, and i handed on the device.

Samsung representative given the following uncertain answers during Q&A session:
1.to be release to Market before mid-November

2.Pricing is around SGD1000, in talks with 3 major telcos in SG to bring down the price with contract.

3.Remain uncertain if it can be upgraded to Gingerbread. He claimed Galaxy Tab meets the Gingerbread requirement, but whether it can be upgraded is up to Google to decide

he also mentioned Chrome OS....Sound like future tablet from galaxy family might be running Chrome OS??

4.It's not the only Tab from Galaxy series.

How much do you plan to let go of your baby? Do keep me in the loop. Looking to get either IPad or galaxy tab! But if your price is attractive I will just get your iPad

Apple devices is expensive. I figured out that competitors of Apple devices too have an almost similar price. Galaxy S have an almost similar price to the iPhone 4. Now the rumours said the Tab will cost pretty much the same as the iPad. Anyways, I always liked the Galaxy series. Coz my bro own one, the S. Now all I want is that phone too.

Best to wait till next year for more choices.

If you want to get for your Christmas, then you have to look for tablets running at least Froyo 2.2 with Flash...

i rather wait for HTC Android 3.0 tablet which will hit the market in Q1 next year since the 2.2 can't really support high resolutions application. The price will be around $790 = RM2457..more value for money cause it's powered by NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset, 2GB of RAM and with the screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

Those features are mere speculation. The company hasn't even confirmed it man. Anything can change at the very last minute like how the amoled screen of tablet being replaced by Super TFT.

Bought the Tab on impulse last weekend....no regrets so far...

Admittedly some things arent as smooth as the iPad but even Google has come out saying that its true because Froyo wasnt designed for tablets...

I think they have confirmed that Gingerbread will be available as a free update for the Tab and fix a lotta things smile.gif

As you mentioned Froyo was not designed for Tablets, you mean that when you try out the videos, flash and games applications, you feel the lagging in the playing these formats ?

What I heard is the 720p videos are a bit sluggish when you run the movie or movie trailers.

Flash shud be ok, as far as i know.

For games...shud be quite acceptable.


Well, if Gingerbread comes in early next year, I am sure 3.0 will iron out all the sluggishness issues.

Just hope GT's update to 3.0 is good for all applications.


Cheers !

Hey guys,

Am still considering in purchasing the Tab. In fact I went to Maxis TTDI to check it out.

Am actually a Windows Mobile PDA user and all of my contacts data (about 1000 contacts) are on Microsoft Outlook! Yes! I intend to use the Tab as a PDA too... rclxms.gif

Was wondering is it possible for my laptop to sync with the Samsung GT so all my contacts and calendar (appointments) will be transfered too... Imagine typing each contact into the SGT, that is a lot of work knowing that I have close to 1000 of contacts to key in. I understand Microsoft Outlook and Android are two different OS platform but is it possible?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab promoter at Maxis if of no help so anybody here have a solution to my dilema?

Thank you.

Cheers blush.gif

Export your contacts as csv file. From googlemail, import it. Sync tab with your google account. You might wish to delete off some of the extra fields in the csv before you import in from google. The csv is basically a excel file
Similarly use google calendar to import your outlook.

There are various solutions, just type your question in google search and you can see the various options

Just curious, how much is the SGT selling now? When I asked in Sunway piramid, the quoted me RM2799. However, I think it's lower than that now though. Any idea?

Also, I read that SGT will not be getting an upgrade to Honeycomb though. cry.gif
