it's a good start but also a late start for microsoft...

And maybe will never recover their market performance over Android and iOS plus RIM too..
It's like they just realized from the fantasy world and still learning to make a first step on the real world..
I hope this time they put their wholehearted to WinPhone 7 and make it accessible to all manufacturers.. hmm.gif hmm.gif

Not a bit.. But far more expensive than iPad value..
But Samsung still claimed that they'll sell Tab faster than Apple's iPad.. laugh.gif

Video calls is so yesterday, at least to me sleep.gif
Can galaxy tab video call with iphone4 ? or just between galaxy tab ?

Am looking forward to grab one. hmm.gif
*
So far, the so called FaceTime on iPhone 4 only accessible through WiFi connectivity.. So, if Galaxy tab owner wanna video call (or FaceTime by Apple doh.gif doh.gif ) to iPhone4 owner, make sure that iPhone4 fella connected with WiFi already.. If not, just do video call with others though.. We're not living around iPhone4 owners only right? nod.gif nod.gif

ipad got nothing to do with telco like maxis dude...

maybe with iPad that come with 3G or 3G+WiFi will only Maxis take care soon?
I dunno.. But, Apple's product by Maxis announcement is kinda late and out of favor already.. nod.gif nod.gif

Without the telco how many set do u think they can sell....lile their corby lah or omnia lah....telco give them a least security for booking their set upfront. Samsing always like to spend their money kaw kaw for advertisement compared others...see Sungei Wang area....everywhere u go Samsung..

Don't forget iSetan, Pavilion, TimeSquare, OneUtama, Midvally, etc.. You can see especially Galaxy S adverts here and there..
Samsung put their wholehearted to the advert without thinking about their customers.. hmm.gif hmm.gif

Don't forget yesterday's star newspaper with one page advert that Galaxy Tab will be launched here.. LOL!
Anyway, I think with the price below RM28xx is actually affordable enough for the 7" tablet..
For now, it's the most proper Android's tablet.. Just accept it and pray for the price to drop on the official released here as Samsung claimed that the price will reduced because of tax exemption.. hmm.gif hmm.gif

Sure, feel free to put it up anywhere anyhow you want. I don't work for the forum. It's just within my personal discretion that I made the post.

I have personal reason to dislike your post. The generalization that you have placed on tablets have disappointed me. I know people who utilized ipod touch and tablets very well. I have seen people using these devices as music score for music performance and it also does very well for students who intend to attend lecture paperless. The convenience is undisputed. Surprisingly the price of galaxy tab wasn't too bad afterall. If someone could ever consider buying a tablet to complement their smartphone and laptop, galaxy tab isn't very much expensive afterall.

Nice video there Uncle Benny.. As we know, 2.2 come with full Flash support.. So, any website that contained with flash video will take time to load..
But, boot time is can be said decent enough.. But not as fast as Desire HD.. Well it's acceptable with the screen size and 1Ghz single core processor only..

p/s: there's rumor said that Wifi only Tab will come with Super Amoled 7" screen!! rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

As you might have already heard, the Galaxy Tab is now officially available from Maxis. If you want to take a close look Maxis and Samsung are running a roadshow at Sungei Wang Concourse area this whole weekend.

After that you can purchase the Galaxy Tab will be available at Maxis Centres in KLCC, Pavilion KL, Sunway Pyramid and Taman Tun Dr. Ismail from 25 October onwards.

Nationwide availability at Maxis centres and selected Maxis exclusive partners will be from 29 October onwards.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab retails for RM2,699 outright. Maxis will also be offering contracts for the device — RM1,849 for 12 months and RM1,749 for 24 months.

For contract purchase, you’ll have to subscribe to Maxis Value Plans (Value first, Value Plus 50, 80,150,250 or 500) and a data bundle (500MB, 1.5GB or 3GB).

LOL! I don't like to be tied with contract especially with Maxis because I already tried with postpaid before and already blacklisted by them! laugh.gif
Anyway, TechRadar already reviewed this Tab... Guess what? 3 out of 5 star only! doh.gif
This's their verdict for Tab..
QUOTE
We can't hide our disappointment in the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It had the potential to deliver a serious blow to Apple's iPad sales. But in truth, the Galaxy Tab is no match for the iPad. It's nowhere near as smooth, it's not as polished and remarkably, it's not even a match when it comes to value for money.
If portability and Android are your main concern, the Galaxy Tab is certainly a handy gadget to have in your geeky arsenal. But for £530(RM2699 in Malaysia?), we were expecting a hell of a lot more.

We liked:
The Android interface is fantastic, and in indoor conditions everything works pretty well. The screen is bright and colourful. Watching videos and listening to music is easy, as is transferring content to and from the device.
The Android Market enables you to customise the device beyond recognition, and so you'll never get bored of it.
The size has its benefits, too. It's a lot more pocket and bag friendly than the iPad, but it's still a pretty hefty object to have to lug round with you everywhere.
Flash support is a major advantage over the iPad, and the ability to surf online video is very well received.
We disliked:
The sluggish web browsing is very frustrating. As Google readily admits, Android 2.2 is in no way optimised for tablets, and so we can't help feeling that the Galaxy Tab has come along a bit too early.
The screen is also quite disappointing. It's not terrible, but it's in no way a class-leading piece of glass. With the 7-inch screen, it's an incredibly portable device, and so an AMOLED screen would have gone down a treat.
The camera, too, is fairly poor. Again, it's nice to have this feature, but remember this is a £530(RM2699 in Malaysia?) gadget. It's expensive, and so you expect all the features to be top-notch... But they're not


A little bit sad to know the truth that 2.2 can't work well with Tab.. Thought of getting it in nearest time but.. sad.gif sad.gif

urm well, dont just listen from 1 side of the story. go read more reviews.

yeah, I know.. phonearena, gsmarena, engadget, pocketnow.com, droidlife also already made a review from it..
Maybe I have to wait for proper OS from android then will grab Tab for my next device for sure (if they release it in 2-3 months)..
If not, Desire HD is next best thing from Android!! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Having ipad for 7 months and tested briefly the tab I would say both have its pro n
cons. use those web reviews used as s guide.  Ultimately which is better depend on what you want to do with it.
personally I feel this tab can be my alternative tablet.  Frankly the ipad is just an overblown and overhype tablet. I love my macs but seriousky I can't say so for the
Ipad.
*
Yeah, that is so true uncle benny!! I read your review about iPad too which's a lot of money to be sacrificed to make it work properly instead of just install a free one and then it'll work flawlessly..
I don't blame Samsung to bring Tab out this early as this announcement just show their wholehearted to Android OS.. No doubt at all..
Maybe guys at XDA developers have some work to do about it.. No news saying that Tab is hard to be rooted as T-Mobile G2 or HTC Desire Z.. Root it and flash with custom ROM will fix all the cons maybe?? hmm.gif hmm.gif

I think better you get it from here.. It's easy for doing warranty claim and so on except that you are so sure that your Tab won't damage.. nod.gif
