Samsung Galaxy card 10.1It only recently was introduced formally, but the Samsung Galaxy card 10.1 was almost a foregone conclusion. Although more manageable by 7-inch tablets have made headlines in recent months, including the first Galaxy card, manufacturers have had Apple iPad in their sights. And to compete toe-toe with 9.7 inches iPad, it was only a matter of when--not if--we would see a flood of class 10-inch tablet. So much so that it is starting to get hard to tell them apart.
In this gold rush of Tablet PCs, we can expect to see slightly different designs and industrial models. But let's face it--these tablets will be dominated by their large-screen, and everything beyond is the wrapper or packaging. And there's only so much differentiation that can be made there. Is plasticky, or have a metal frame; There are ports and card slots, or is all about smooth lines and not direct-attachements; It weigh less or smaller measure than the competition? These are the kinds of details that distinguish tablets because of distance, tablets are greatly resemble each other.
The official specs on Galaxy card 10.1 make highly competitive with other tablets so far announced. Like other Android 3.0 (EPAs)-based models, the Galaxy card 10.1 Pack an Nvidia dual-core 1 GHz Tegra 2 CPUs and cameras and rear-front (from 2 megapixels and 8-Megapixels, respectively).
Size MattersThe Galaxy card 10.1 has two clear WINS physical than the competition, though: weight and dimensions. The Tablet is available in £ 1.3, compared with 1.6 pounds for the TouchPad of HP (with a screen 9.7 inches), 1.6 pounds for Apple iPad (Wi-Fi + 3 G version comparable) and 1.6 pounds for the Motorola Xoom 10.1-inch.
Xoom and iPadThat weight difference might not seem like much, but it is significant when you hold the device in hand for any period of time. Ever noticed how well Apple's commercials and ads for ipads show someone leaning the device against something? That's why iPad feels heavy, especially if you plan on holding it while reading. I have already taken the Xoom and thought that was too heavy and unwieldly at that weight--in fact, I was disappointed that Motorola nor HP appeared able to shave anything off weight specifications of iPad, one year after the model has been introduced. That Samsung has made progress in this regard is encouraging, both for Android tablets as a whole and for the prospects of this Board of Galaxy Samsung compete against any new Apple tablet is coming our way in the coming months.
The other specifications that held in tablets announced I was deep. Universally, tablets of class 7 and 10-inch alike were constantly coming in half-an-inch thick. Samsung dollars that well, trend from seven-shave hundredths of an inch off the depth, size 0.43 inches, compared to the iPad's (first generation) and 0.5 inch of Xoom and 0.54 touch pad. Extra bit is not dramatic, but it is clear--and this should help keep competitive the Samsung model with the second generation of Apple iPad (rumored to be slimmer than its predecessor as well).
Looking GoodCuriously, Samsung's TouchWiz interface not on Galaxy card 10.1. Samsung Tablet called her a "Google experience", but it is not clear whether Samsung has made this choice (which would be an odd interruption from the company of other products of Galaxy), or if Google is actively trying to minimize problems of fragmentation of Android OS by Nixing overlaps and thereby OS updates to roll out more easily through devices.
The reality is that the block has a higher for Android 2.x, one that minimizes the need to overlap, so from that perspective, the lack of TouchWiz is not a bad thing. But having said that, without TouchWiz--or some other individualized and customized experience on the device--becomes even more difficult to tell these gadgets apart.
Join the PackSo what else Samsung Galaxy card 10.1 stack up? Pretty good, only with numbers alone. You get a choice of 16 GB or 32 GB of storage, same like the TouchPad on HP; Apple also offers 64 GB, while Motorola Xoom is just a taste, 32 GB. But there is no memory card slot, and there is still no USB port--omissions both noteworthy and disappointing, given that Xoom has both Motorola and TouchPad HP has at least a microUSB.
Display resolution 1280 x 800 corresponds to that of Xoom and exceeds that of the iPad (first generation) and the TouchPad. It is interesting, I noticed that none of those companies outside of Apple is talking about the pixel depth of the screen, a specific Apple has brought to the fore with the launch of the iPhone 4 last year. The "retinal display" on the iPhone 4 loot surely eyes; the clarity and smoothness of engraving on the device and the lack of visible pixels inside the letters, makes it difficult to accept some of the screens we are seeing now. It is not clear when Apple will migrate the retinal display its Tablet PC, but you can only hope that eventually happen. As soon as possible. And, then, that the makers of Android Tablet you can step up on the side of the equation.
Samsung did not announce the carriers or U.S. availability plans for Galaxy card 10.1, but it will hit Europe in March. If I were a betting person, I would bet that we'll hear more about a U.S. launch of the Tablet 10.1-inch at the upcoming CTIA Wireless show a little more than a month from now to Orlando.
