The sexiest Android tablet ever, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is official now – pics are out, as well as official video. And the spec sheet, is mind-blowing!
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab is a sleek big-sized Android phone! It’s expected to be released in this month itself. GSMArena got hands-on pics. It got 7 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display, capable of displaying 16 million colours, with multi-touch functionality. Galaxy Tab would come with 16GB and 32GB internal storage, with 512MB RAM. It also got microSD card slot, having extra memory up to 32GB. The combination of ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor and the well-optimized Android 2.2 (Froyo) operating system, would be somewhat appreciable.

Fring on Galaxy Tab.
Are there prices yet or we are still in the blue about it? I would also prefer if it came with linux (easier to run windows applications on it via wine)

As of now, it's only announced officially. Samsung didn't say anything about price or when it'll go on sale.
anyone know what resolution is the screen?

It has a 7-inch WSVGA TFT-LCD color display with 1024-by-600 pixel resolution. (Source: http://www.pcworld.com/article/204747/meet_the_galaxy_tab.html?tk=hp_new)
And guess what? Fring works "fringing awesome" on Galaxy Tab.
It wont be the iPad killer unless it gets marketed as such. I even seen music videos with the artist using iPads. I wonder how much Apple pays them to do that? "Heres a free iPad and 50 bucks to have you show it off in your music video" sheesh.
Hands on with it.http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-hands-video
Shame they didn't put at least even and OLED screen on there.
Might have to get one of these badboys! Very sexy indeed.
This will fail pretty badly.
It is not because of Android, it is not because of the hardware.
But the PRICE!
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-reported-to-retail-at-699-and-799-in-europe/
700 - 800 euro???
INSANE!
iPad will be better option in this price with larger screen, doubled internal memory size and better battery.
Good God, Samsung just cannot do business.

It still wouldn't be able to run wine if it had Linux on it.
I don't know a 1GHZ single core processor for a next gen table? I was at least hoping for 1.6 dual core.

Is it that expensive? No way of it being in any way successful. The iPad is a far better choice IMHO.
lol this just pretty much killed it. Apple could sell stuff for 600+ euros and someone would probably still buy because of the brand name but Samsung, some not-so-well-known brand name comes and attempts to sell an "ipad killer". If it had great specs and a decent price, it would definitely live up to its name but this is just disappointing

Agreed. I've long been a Tablet PC owner (HP TC1100) and the iPad is an absolutely killer machine compared to all the other tablets I've ever used. Of course, it's not a Win / x86 machine, but, for my needs (Web browsing, reading / searching in books, playing back videos) it's WAY better than anything else I've ever tested. And, on top of that, it has a GREAT battery life.

The current generation of smartphones – with their 1GHz processors and 512MB of RAM – are already very impressive at what they can do. But rumored specifications (along with a photo) are spreading of the next generation of Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone – the Galaxy S2 – and its specs will. freaking. blow. your. head. off.

It is supposedly scheduled for release sometime in early 2011 and will supposedly have the following specifications:
-A 2GHz Processor. Possibly the next-generation version of Samsung’s Hummingbird CPU.
-1GB RAM along with 4GB of ROM. This is, as with the CPU, twice the magnitude of current-gen hardware.
-32GB built-in flash memory. MicroSD card slot expandable to 32GB making the Galaxy S2 able to hold 64GB of data.
-8 megapixel camera with full HD (1920×1080) video recording. Current-gen smartphones record video at 720p (1280×720).
-A 4.3” 1280×720 Super AMOLED display
-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, b/g/n Wi-Fi, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity / ambient light sensors.
-Run on Android 3.0 “Gingerbread”
While all these specifications are well and sweet, I really, honestly believe smartphone manufacturers, especially of the Android variety, should focus on increasing battery life by optimizing hardware + software instead of just blindly increasing clock speeds and doubling RAM. My HTC Desire still doesn’t last more than 15-16 hours whereas Taimur’s iPhone 4 blows past the 24 hour category without even going below 50%.
And yes, these specs are rumored. But if HTC and Motorola’s intentions of releasing 2GHz smartphones are anything to go by, they aren’t unbelievable.

What do you guys think the battery quality will be?
Hm unless Samsung has re-invented the battery for cell phones I seriously doubt this would have any type of usable battery life. I think those specs are too "wish list" to be believable.
But if they really do make that much of a leap in such a short time power to them, I just don't see anything like that happening.
Sorry, can this thread be deleted. I didn't see a Vibrant's "General" section 'till after.
Screw the 4.3" screen. Too big. 4" is perfect.
And these specs are fake.
It's just a made up rumor utilized to get people to visit their pathetic thing they call a 'website' filled with countless ads to make money out of people.
Boringggg. Don't people get bored of spreading these same exact rumors into the world every single time again?
Sounds great but those are some pretty bold rumors. That's a pocket sized computer lol
Battery life would last okay (i think) if it only uses the 2ghz when needed and when the screen is switched off bring it down to 400mhz You never know, it could last
that would be cool but i doubt that anything like that is gonna come out anytime soon.
It sounds like its unreal specs but hey we can dream for now anyway
sent from a evo 4g stock Rom for now anyway
Didn't Samsung said this is 5X faster than the Hummingbird?
Great, now just take those specs and throw in a 1400mah battery and it should be good for a solid 10 hours.
I agree with others in this post: the Android phone manufacturers should look a little more closely at battery life on their phones rather than turning the market into a **** waving contest. My G2 is at 29% after 37 hours right now, and it's a reminder of the reason why I bought it over the Vibrant.
Not impossible:
Processor could be the orion
http://venturebeat.com/2010/09/07/samsungs-new-orion-processor-brings-dual-core-power-to-phones/
Gingerbread I don't think that it will but it could

Then the other specs look real
Or you could get a

Just in case anyone didn't want to try and pause the reflection of Galaxy s2 in the promo video.

Now that gives me a phone-boner. Too bad the whole thing would probably have that terrible plasticky feeling that the other Galaxy S phones have had.
Since when Android 3.0 is Gingerbread? These specs are clearly bull**** and rumors.
ITT: people confusing Gingerbread with Honeycomb
i doubt it will have such specs you would need a nuclear power plant to power that thing even for a galaxy Tab 2 is pretty doubtful as specs...
More likely it will be a dual core cpu @ 1ghz with a ram in between 512mb-1gb and a screen resolution of about 540p or so a Samoled2 screen and probably a 16gb-32gb internal storage + sd slot

My mistake, I quit android at froyo and a friend pointed that out. I shall insult the android nerd that got that wrong.
Oh, he informed me that it was because it says 3.0
galaxy s2 what?
I work for t-mobile and I have not heard specs like that. I wish. Its gonna be awsome but if it was that good it would cost too much right now probably. Probably come with a bj though.
Ministry of Human Resource Development under Govt. of India had promised in 2010 that they will provide a low cost, android based tablet for the needy mass of the Indian population which can't afford the basic resources such as internet and exactly after an year they have launched "Akash" (in Hindi it means sky).
Most of India's 1.2 billion people are poor and products such as Apple Inc's iPad are beyond the reach even of many in the fast-growing middle class.
The low-cost device is part of the government's larger initiative aimed at improving India's educational system through technology
Technical specifications:--
*Operating system: Android 2.2
*Screen: 7″ resistive
*Processor: 366 MHz + HD video co-processor (or 600MHz by a U.S. company Conexant Systems. I'm not sure which one of the either)
*RAM: 256 MB
*Flash memory: 2GB + 2GB Micro-SD (expandable up to 32 GB)
*USB ports: 2
*Network: WiFi (GPRS & 3G options) SIM module will be added preferably in next batch
*180 minutes of battery power, two USB ports
*multimedia and videoconferencing capabilities
Best of all this is developed & made in India.

what do you think of it ??
this tablet is small slow and etc.
but 35$? this is awesome!
this is useful to children.
it isn't that slow... It has separate HD video co-processor so even a 1080p video runs smoothly on it .
35$? It's like for free...
reminds me...
Anyone else recall an effort a few years back to give impoverished third world villages free laptops? They ran linux, had rechargeable batteries with a crank-winder, and were rather minimally powered. This sounds like a much better deal to me.
India rocks!
180mins of battery life.......
Oh wrll , I guess that's what you get for $35

For that money, why not..
It's very good because it helps to indian people to touch technology.

Its the first try, and 3 hours on something for $35 is ok
They can improve it in the future once they get enough feedback, perhaps a faster proccy + big battery n a capacitative screen with maybe ics , and yea increase the cost a bit for this new version
Its too good, everyone can fell the android experience

actually screen is the price deciding factor in most cases... it saves nearly rupees 5-7k per tablet which is more than the current price. Capacitive and amoLED screens are way too much costlier !!!1
Then it is easy to see and estimate all marketing markups on the manufacturing costs ...
At the end of the day we pay for the brand mainly ...
If it had the battery power it would be the perfect as a portable media player considering it has an SD slot and can supposedly play media well
wow what u guys except for $35?
Maybe it is not the best 7" Android tablet, but you could find it with Rock-chip rk2918(Cortex A8 1.2GHz) process and 7“ TFT(1024 x 600).
The main feature of this tablet is that it provide the much thinner(Thickness only 9.4mm) tablet than others.
This tablet solution has just released by Giayee which is an Android IDH from Shenzhen, China.
I just get the sample images and the main feature(M703):
Rock-chip RK2918, A8 1.2GHz
512MB DDR3 + 4G FLASH
Android 2.3 OS
7“ TFT(1024 x 600) + Capacitive TP
WIFI、GPS, G-sensor , Compass, Gyro, HDMI etc
2MP back camera , LED Flash
0.3MP front camera
Thickness only 9.4mm

Good spec
How many cost?
It's not really thin though is it? The iPad 2 (probably the most popular tablet) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (probably the second most popular tablet) are both considerably thinner.
this is probably a lot cheaper....but where can I purchase these things?
You can find many more on their site too, they're all similar in specs. I can't post links, too few posts, but Google "Shenzhen Highkee Electronic Technology" and around the 3rd link down look for one with "highkee" in the URL. It has a menu on the side to find their android tablets. But judging from their business model, they may not sell direct, you'd have to go through another company - they sell in bulk unit orders (minumum appears to be 500).
Sure these might have been the kind I saw in street market stalls when I was on holiday last month, they seem to fit the bill. The M703 one looks quite nice but the screen quality is what always bothers me when buying new stuff.
Looks great How much this cost?
I really like this thread
where can i buy one?
I want one.
The guy with the candle iPad at the Steve Jobs memorial. I want to be him with this tablet.
Where can i buy one though?

Anyways, does this thing have access to the market?
It has some in China, and will wait for some time for oversea market.
By the way, if you are China, you could find their company, or you could find the official site(giayee.com)

this is a joke. I could find this tablet(M703) and this tablet is just another company- Giayee technology Co.Ltd.(ocuses on R&D and production of Android Tablets and Mobile Phones).
So in other words these are ONLY available in China?
you can find those in Deal Extreme
those tablets are not the greatest
but good enough for games and web browsing
Interesting what quality they have. Cheap is not always better.
wow... nice specs.. i hope the quality and chips are good as well...

1601 points? Fastest phone in the world?
Step aside.
It does look like the iphone 5 will be the fastest smartphone (not going by the graph there but just the tech. of the chipset, seems to be just like krait dual core but better). That android benchmark graph looks a bit of as well with regards to the nexus 7 etc. and the one S.......and it is only one test as well and the source isn't exactly the best.......
Wait till anandtech or/and gsmarena get a full set of benchmarks up and they can be trusted.
As I posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31643039&postcount=14
The HTC one XL/S are the fastest android devices and are faster than the nexus 7.
1601 points?
Lol yup, been completely reworked the graph to show the iphone 5 as being the best, what a surprise.........
Galaxy S3 benchmark scores;
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1036570
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1036389
Again though, only one benchmark test, wait for more (better/accurate ones).
Wait for the LG Optimus G... The quad core Krait will most likely best the iPhone as well based on preliminary benchmark results.
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1038700
ill stick with the one S. plus apples go bad really quickly lol
Are there any games that htc one s can't play smoothly? Something like dead trigger?
All hype, no substance.
Sorry my english is not perfect does hype means every thing without any lag?
Does one s have any bugs? Ever had any problems with it? Is one s better than xperia s? Any problems with pentile screen?
I love my One S. No issues except for the fact that I really hate Sense and hence I wipe it all out and flash CM10 nightlies. And yes, the One S outperforms the Xperia thanks to the Adreno 225 (Xperia S has the 220) and MSM8260A
How can I check the version of my cpu s3 or s4. Where does htc sell snapdragon s4 version and where doesn't?

"Hype" definition:
Extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion.

Promote or publicize (a product or idea) intensively, often exaggerating its importance or benefits.

Better than xperia S except for the screen in terms of res. i.e. sharpness and real screen estate.
Only bugs are:
- signal issues in areas with poor coverage (supposedly fixed in latest update)
- majority of black models has chipping issues (fixed with a newer designed model, has smoother edges and a bevelled USB port)
My only complaints with the S are:
- crap notification LED
- poor support from HTC so far
Other people have problem with these:
- pentile screen (IMO only noticeable on certain icons and when really concentrating on the edges of icons/text)
- limited storage (10GB for videos, photos etc. and 2.21GB for apps)
Here is anandtech's view on the screen:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5868/htc-one-s-review-international-and-tmobile/6
So it has 14gb for use right? So if I understand you, you said that I can only install 2gigs of games and don't have the possibility to instaal 7gb or 5gb of games?
Wait to release of the iPhone 5 and after few months new android devices will be released new alternatives etc.
So it has 14gb for use right? So if I understand you, you said that I can only install 2gigs of games and don't have the possibility to instaal 7gb or 5gb of games?
Yes, you have just over 14GB for use.
You can install those games like NOVA etc. and iirc the actual base files are stored on the larger 10GB partition, you can also move apps etc. over to the larger 10GB partition etc. via settings>apps>app you want to move
If you plan on installing all the big games like dead space, nova, GTA etc. then don't get the one S, get the GS 3 or GS 2 as they both have 16GB internal storage and a SD slot.
But I can replace games to 10gig partition so I think it enough space for shadow gun and few other games. I have 16gigs at the moment in my old xperia x8, 14gb for use and still have 5gigs free and I have a lot of ps1 games etc.
Sgs3 and s2 are ugly in my opinion.
One s is much faster then s2 and is comparable with s3
Being that the iphone 5 is several months newer than one s, one x, gs3, nexus 7,etc., wouldn't you expect it to be faster? And when the next round of android devices comes out in a few months, they will all be faster, too.
If the iphone 5 is not one of the fastest devices on the market when it comes out, that would be a pretty weak effort on apple's behalf!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Cross-platform benchmarks are highly inaccurate. These scores mean nothing really, we'll never know how good the A6 chip is unless android is ported over to the iPhone 5.
I remember all the hype for this Android based console that was supposed to revolutionize the mobile gaming industry but I feel that they have waited far too long, you can already get similar spec'ed Android stick computers for basically the same price. The only thing I now can see going for the OUYA is maybe the controller aside from the good looking case but looks don't matter when the cards are on the table and the sad fact is that the Nexus 7 is just as powerful as the OUYA is going to be, not to mention the Nexus 7.7 will be announced soon this year which will most likely drop the price of the Nexus 7 which will make that $99 standpoint of the OUYA look not so good compared to the portability of a similar spec'ed tablet.

Confirmed specs are,
Tegra3 Quad core
1GB of ram
8GB of internal ROM space
HDMI connector at 1080P
Wifi 802.11 B/G/N
ONE usb port
Android 4.0 ICS "NOT EVEN JELLY BEAN <.<" The community probably will quickly fix that though.
1 Wireless Controller
Compare that to the devices already announced "Nexus 5, Galaxy S4, Nexus 7.7, Galaxy Tab 3, HTC M7, Galaxy note 8.0... The list goes on.
And if you want to compare it to whats out now that will be price dropping this year "Nexus 7" Then the OUYA just doesn't fit in the "Good deal" Scene point of view. Lets not forget The Exynos 5 which will most likely find it sway into more tablets and phones alike and the Tegra4 which "If you have paid attention to what Nvidia has been saying" Is going to be their thinnest, most powerful mobile processor on the market which will be as much as 6X faster compared to previous Tegra based devices.

I say why buy a console and stay at home when you can buy a Tablet and bring it with you anywhere.
I don't understand why so many people are worried about this being "underpowered" So what if the Tegra 3 comes out this year. New tech is always coming out! It's not like all the games that are released from now on will suddenly *need* a Tegra 4 to play them. And it was announced a long time ago it would have Jelly Bean, whatever press release you have may have the info wrong. Also, I highly highly doubt the Nexus 7 will drop in price. It will just be dropped completely when a new Nexus comes out. The Galaxy Nexus didn't drop in price when the Nexus 4 came out, it just stopped being sold by Google! And yes this is more powerful than the 7 anyway because it has a fan, and is overclocked as batteries not a concern.
People need to stop looking at this from the "what is the hardware" stand point, and look at it from the "what is the opportunity" stand point. It's a great spec'd android dedicated TV box, that should have a huge cult following! Isn't that awesome? Isn't that what this site is all about. XBMC, modding, emulators, homebrew games. Have a little sense of adventure man.
I would imagine it can be hard to predict how well a product will do, probably a lot of factors need to be analyzed..
I feel there is a market for it but not sure how large ....Im not sure how good nintendo ds devices specs are these days but seemed a few years ago they where crappy and similar to gameboy or gamegear in gfx look.....my point is people are still buying and using nintendo ds......
Oh and products kind of go viral too....if they come from something well known or similar.. im not sure the fact it's android based will be something that pushes people to buy it though.
I remember when the original xbox was about to come out everyone was such a sony playstation fanboy and a lot of people didn't really want an xbox...and people wheren't interested in specs it was all about playstation2/sony being a known brand so they will have a better product.
seems now miscrosoft has won over a lot of playstation fans from back then.
i won't go into depth about movie trailers and movie quality and video games.
I don't buy a mmo until atleast 6 months after its release any more and if i have any interest i just follow it those 6 month via video reviews and forums.
But um basically my point is i gave up on trying to predict or be an early adopter or having hope in products.. i just wait and see and try not to waste brain power or money guessing . so if i do guess i just go with my first gut instinct and wait and see....my gut says....
OUYA won't be a huge financial success but could lead to or inspire something better down the line but i think tablet gaming is the future...just hook up the tablet or phone to the tv and play if you want so i don't really see the point in OUYA.
Odp: I have the feeling OUYA will be a huge failure.
Its not important what OUYA will be... Its exciting what "ouya" gen2, gen3 will be. However i think better option is smartphone+tv+2 pads. OR nexus Q as a gaming center.... Just dreaming...
In my personal life I can't see it being useful at all. But I don't think it'll be a failure.

failure? really don't think so.
it will be always cheaper due to no need have a screen and battery and rugged body.
there will be huge and on growing selection of games.
it could be used as a great media streamer with the right adjustments.
and all of that for 99$? it will be godlike device.
