Samsung Galaxy Tab Officially Launched, It’s a Bigger Galaxy S Phone

So there you go folks. Samsung has officially announced its tablet PC which others call as a solid iPad competitor – the Samsung Galaxy Tab. And from what we can see, it seems like a bigger version of the Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. And just like what was published a couple of days ago, the Galaxy Tab will run Android 2.2, fully supports HD and Flash 10.1 content and most importantly it will be available this month in Italy, while the rest of the world will have their taste of the Galaxy Tab in the coming months.

Interestingly, Samsung is taking carrier-supported route in releasing the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The WSJ is saying that Samsung is negotiating with various carriers all over the world for them to carry the Galaxy Tab. This is understandable since the Samsung Galaxy Tab will have full 3G connectivity support.

Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz processor, full multimedia support (DivX, Xvid, MPEG3, H.263 and more.

And to make it better than the iPad, Samsung has also put in a front facing camera for video calls as well as a rear-facing camera for taking photos.

Samsung is also gearing up the Galaxy Tab as an e-reader with the Reader Hub applications.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will definitely shake down the iPad’s popularity. And with Android 2.2 on-board, I’m pretty sure that Apple haters will be lining up for the Galaxy Tab once it becomes available.
