What Makes the Galaxy Tab Truly Mobile?
With 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth® 3.0, the
Galaxy Tab takes mobile communication to a whole new level. By combining
Samsung innovation with the Android 2.2 Platform, the Tab is truly a
communication and entertainment tool. Its large battery (4,000 mAh)
provides more than 7 hours of movie viewing time and because it’s
powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz application processor, it’s designed to
deliver high performance.
Increased Productivity on the Go
Experience PC-like web-browsing and enjoy all forms
of multimedia content on the perfectly sized 7” display from anywhere as
well as enjoy continuous communication via email, and video call, or
social networking with the Galaxy Tab’s optimised user interface. At 7”
it’s designed to fit in one hand but it’s easy to type on the Tab using a
two hand thumb type style or by using SWYPE input technology.
Front and Rear facing Camera
As online content and creativity explodes, the
Samsung Galaxy Tab is the best portable solution for every lifestyle
that needs a constant connection. The device’s front facing camera
allows for video chat with friends and business partners around the
world. And, the rear-facing 3 megapixel camera with flash captures still
images and video that can be edited, uploaded and shared.
Watch Video, Read and Play Games on the Go
Its striking 7” TFT-LCD display delivers an exciting
mobile experience for watching films, viewing pictures, e-reading or
sharing documents. Supporting the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.1, the
Samsung Galaxy Tab fully supports swift, seamless viewing of every
single page of the web. Flash support provides excellent video and
gaming capabilities.
At the same time, HD video content is supported by a wide range of multimedia formats (DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and more) which maximises the joy of entertainment.

Media Hub: Buy Content Once and Share Across GALAXY Devices
At the same time, Samsung has unveiled the Media Hub,
a gateway to a world of films and TV shows. Media Hub customers who
purchase content to permanently own can share that content with five
devices enabled with Media Hub at no extra cost.
Android Marketplace and Google Mobile Services
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is packed with services to
complement and enhance life in different ways. There is access the
Android™ Marketplace to download apps and personalize devices
infinitely, as well as pre-loaded applications that are uniquely
designed and optimised for Samsung smartphones and smart media devices.
Services like Google Maps™ Navigation (Beta) and Google Goggles are available on Google's Android platform. With useful location-based services like Google Maps™, search works using Standard English instead of entering an exact address. A search-by-voice function is just as intuitive, meaning searches can also be completed easily on the go. Google Goggles™ is a powerful, visual search tool that uses the Samsung Galaxy Tab's camera to uncover information – an image of a landmark or artwork is automatically used to perform a search, delivering relevant content like a description or history. In addition, with a camera, users can enjoy various augmented reality services which are downloadable in the application market.

Do More on the Go with the Galaxy Tab™
Why did Samsung make a 7” Tablet—because we’re into mobility and know that people are looking for compact communication and entertainment devices they can slip in their pocket and bring on the go. The Galaxy Tab is always connected, lightweight and smart. Its exceptional screen is designed for reading books and magazines, watching movies and playing games. The Galaxy Tab builds on the rich content experience provided by the Galaxy S line of Android smartphones.
Speed
Galaxy S: Smart Phones with Superior Speed
One of the most important parts of a smart
phone is its processor, which is responsible for running all those cool
applications lesser phones can’t handle. A good one handles a multitude
of functions without sacrificing speed. New phones like the Samsung
Galaxy S series offer powerful processors with never-before-seen speeds.
Read on to learn why a fast processor matters.Discover a More Efficient Design
A smartphone is a small computer. Some computers have
a CPU for running applications, while other functions like display and
sound are handled by separate chips. In modern smart phones all those
functions are handled by one, dramatically improving speed.
Since smart phones have power-hungry features, like bright screens and intense graphics, saving power wherever possible is important. Today’s smart phone processors can automatically turn off idle features to conserve power.

Experience Intense Speed
Do you get frustrated when your phone stalls between
programmes or while you’re scrolling across the page? Is something as
simple as searching through photos or contacts taking longer than it
should? The chips in most of the smart phones on the market today
eliminate those issues with fast processor speeds.
They run at speeds of 500 or 600 MHz, with some of the latest phones boasting 1 GHz processors. Currently, the fastest available is the Samsung Galaxy S, with a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor. It can process 90 million triangles per second, compared to a Snapdragon processor which processes only 30 million per second. More triangles mean better image quality and much better frame rate—all in all, smoother, more realistic, more detailed graphics. Pair it with 8GB or 16GB of memory and its speed is unstoppable. With practically no waiting involved you can flip through menus, scroll through contacts, and surf the web with extreme ease.

Enjoy Blazing-Fast Multimedia
More and more smart phone makers offer a video and
web experience similar to that of PCs. Because of that, the number of
people that play mobile games on their smart phones has grown
substantially.
For serious gaming enthusiasts, speed is everything.
With a fast CPU like the one in the Samsung Galaxy S you’ll experience
virtually no lag time, fast, and fluid motion along with ultra-realistic
3D graphics and intense colour. Uploading and downloading movies is
also faster, and watching them is breathtaking thanks to incredibly
smooth playback.
Multitask Like Never Before
A powerful processor on your phone can make a serious
difference in everything you do. With a 1GHz processor like the one in
the Samsung Galaxy S, speed is never an issue. Its Hummingbird processor
is twice as fast as other leading Android processors. Open and transfer
files, zoom in and out of pictures, write and send emails and fly
through applications effortlessly, in mere seconds.
