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.

a $35 tablet running android 2.2 in India

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.

3 hours of display is pretty cool on a tablet for $35...!!! Our $500 phones barely touch the 4 hour mark for most people!

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?

People may wish to know that the new 64GB Sandisk uSDXC memory cards work successfully on the Toshiba TG01...
As supplied the card is formatted as the new exFAT. To use in the TG01 simply reformat to FAT32 (I used Acronis Disk Director on a PC) and then it will work just like any other card in the TG01. This is what you get as a result

That was very easy ! ...CD albums stored as .wav (1:1, uncompressed). Each album takes about 700MB... extracted using Exact Audio Copy.
I have parallel ripped to .mp3 (VBR 192 kBits/s) for use in the car where quality is less important, but am also contemplating re-saving as .flac files to reduce space a bit on the TG01 while retaining a 1:1 bit image. But the bigger uSDCX card certainly makes for a wholly better selection available on tap without having to swap from the PC so often. And there are suggestions that the format is theoretically capavle of being extended up to 2TB !!! Now that really would be something

Kevin

Very impressive!
Great stuff

The best I found was Amazon UK at £96 last weekend with free post (proper Amazon rather than a 3rd party supplier), but the price and availability is going up and down all the time...
PS. is also available at Play.com for £99 free postage.
Regards,
Kevin

Wow Kevin thanks for posting this! Just wondering does it affect battery life at all? 96 quid? That's around what I paid for the phone itself! Think I'll wait before buying one

I don't think the actual memory size affects the battery, but the class size.
The higher the class, the faster the memory card, but I think it can affect battery life

As Oly suggests the higher Class (speed rating) probably does affect power consumption to some degree (equivalent to difference between a 5400 or 7200rpm hard disc). Personally I think the trade for double the storage capacity and higher speed well worth while, since there is no discernable loss of endurance.
However I don't believe the storage capacity should have any meaningful impact on battery life. Since is non-volatile storage, it is not going to use more energy to read a music album's or a film's worth of data on a big card than a small one - it's the same amount of data. Perhaps there could be an impact if you do a lot more write actions (eg. beacaus of having a big card, then being able to take and store lots more photos), but I suspect would still be negligible compared to other significant power drains such as the backlight or radios.
Best regards,
Kevin

What's the speed of this compared to a Class 10 micro SD card?

Necessity is the mother of invention - Increase storage capacity to 256GB or more!!!

Hey! Thanks for checking in! I came up with an idea for a product that I think will be a great addition to this community. My idea involves producing hardware for specific Android tablets and smartphones to increase their storage capacity, this device is currently not on the market anywhere in the world. Their is a need in the market that is not being filled, the truth is from ios to android everyone wants more storage for their mobile devices.
This device would be low profile and connect seamlessly to your smartphone or tablet. Everyone knows you can buy an otg cable for extra storage or purchase the Kingston Wi‑Drive, but who wants to lug around a wireless hard drive the same size of your already large smartphone or worse have an otg cable dangling around to fall out or break your micro USB port.
My invention will allow for flexibility and mobility, you can workout or even go jogging without the use of a flimsy otg cable or an unnecessary WiFi hard drive that has a limited battery capacity. One of my biggest achievements is allowing you to have all of this tech with a very small footprint that connects seamlessly with your target device. Files are stored locally via SD or microSD without the use of cloud storage (Cloud storage can be your worst enemy if your not on a unlimited data plan). All of your movies, music and pictures will be available on the fly for local commutes or long distance traveling.
With the rise of HD content and smartphones being effective laptop replacements, having more storage has become essential. My biggest concern is to make sure this product if affordable, and in doing so i will not include any additional storage due to high cost flash memory. I feel its more beneficial to the end user to use his or her already owned SD or microSD card, plus you can find amazing deals on SD cards just about anywhere in the market.
Device details:
- Maximum Storage capacity of 256GB not including your internal storage
(Depending on your device you can can max out your storage capacity to 384GB).
- Change SD or microSD on the fly (SD SDHC SDXC microSD microSDHC microSDXC)
- Unit will allow for flexibility and mobility
- All your data will be stored locally
Other supported products in the future:
- Samsung Galaxy nexus
- Nexus 7
- Nexus 10
- Samsung Galaxy S II
- Samsung Galaxy Note
- Samsung Galaxy Note II
- Droid Razr
More Devices to come...
I want to start an open discussion about the future of this device, please leave your feedback and any insights you have. This product will be in the market in 3 months time starting with the Samsung Galaxy S III for all carriers.
All feedback is greatly appreciated to bring this product to market, I wanna personally thank everyone who helps with this exciting process!

Good idea but how will you give its start...

I will have the first fully functional prototype ready to go in one month. I will fund the first 50 to 100 production units myself. I feel the demand will be very high, so i will look at taking donation along with investors and possibly a crowd funding campaign with Kickstarter.

Not including labor, between 20 to 35 USD.

Is Samsung dropping the 16GB model?

At the launch event the official spec sheet shows only 32GB/64GB storage. There is no mention of 16GB... so has Samsung finally dropped the 16GB model? If so this is GREAT news!!! Also I see 60fps video recording, which will finally allow me to drop my canon t2i which I primarily use for its 60fps capabilities to make slow motion videos.
Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihGMrrf-WlE

No but you can drop $17 and pick up a 64GB MicroSD.

apparently they did which is awesome, i made many mistakes in my life especially when i used to buy the 16GB models it sucks when you are out of space i hate it and i got a 32GB (95% full) i had to giveup on some of my stuff to recover space useless thing when you can't decide which stays and which goes with the wind XD
32GB is okay still not sure its enough but remains by far better that 16GB, hopefully all high end devices will end up with more space
+1 on that comment its indeed GREAT news

I wish, like HTC did with the HTC One. But according to the major tech news sites we should expect a 16GB version.

Spec sheet shows 32/64 GB. But in the actual unveiling, they also mentioned 16GB.

just make sure you buy a fast one! i bought the cheapest reputable 32gb microSD for my current phone and it takes an age to write stuff!
its fine in use though

Re: Is Samsung dropping the 16GB model? Is 32GB the base model now?
Awesome about 60 fps news.. and I hated the 16gb too and I am tired of binding apps.. directory bind is just so messed up and sometimes fails a lot.. a 32 gb with a sd slot is sweet .. a 64 gb is sweeter..

While I haven't heard they dropped the 16gig version it's entirely possible that they looked at the One and said eff it, we do 32/64gigs too. They could even go 32/64/128 considering they manufacture their own memories, why not one-up competition in that regard too?

Each increment from 16GB>32GB>64GB costs the manufacturer $10. If Samsung sells 30MM SGS4's and offered 32GB of memory "standard" that's $300M in lost profit assuming the selling price stays the same. If 4.5MM (15%) of those are people paying $100 more for 32GB of memory that costs Samsung $10 that's another $405MM in lost profit. So it's highly unlikely they'll be playing Marie Antionette ("let them eat cake") any time soon.
P.S. - The cost of a removable SD card is about $15-20. Not for the single part but because of things like flaps to protect it on sealed devices and the added expense of producing the device because of the additional (internal) design and fitment complexity it introduces. That's why HTC's ups their internal storage vs. providing an SD card on the majority of their devices and the backs of Samsung's devices are removable.

It seems that the S4 16GB price will be slightly above the HTC One 32GB, Samsung has no reason to upgrade it for free if they can take some more money for the 32GB.

Re: Is Samsung dropping the 16GB model? Is 32GB the base model now?
According to Android Central, available in 16, 32, & 64GB, fwiw...

I wish! I doubt I'll be able to find the 32GB version in my country, and if I do I bet it will be extremely overpriced
and I really wanted the 32GB version, on my SIII 16 wasn't nearly enough, I had to delete a few good games :/
I wish Android re-emplemented the moving apps to external sd card feature, why did they even discard that anyway?

All sales advertisement for S4 in Europe is 16GB version.
I can imagine that no sales company will set 32GB or 64GB for sale because price tag already is very high!

i think so

The 16 gig version lives and will be available in North America, EU and India. Confirmation Sources:
