Samsung Galaxy Tab is Here

Samsung Galaxy Tab is in market these two weeks. Yesterday, I went to Sams Club and gave this new device a try.

The size is 7 inch which is good to carry around. It is not heavy as iPad but considering the screen size, it is not light.

I tried few thing with it. It is not that smooth like iPod Touch or iPad when I change from landscape to portrait. Screen jumps when I change the orientation. The icon is not very detail and clear comparing to iPod Touch.

Verizon sale person told me they don't have data plan turned on for this Samsung Galaxy Tab nor WiFi is available in that Sams Club so I cannot try to get on Internet. He told me without data plan, the build-in GPS will not work and no map will be downloaded.

I tried to use rear camera to take two pictures in the store. The pictures were great! I didn't have time to try to play games and other things.

One good things Samsung Galaxy Tab got are SD card can be used and front/rear cameras.

There is some distance Samsung Galaxy Tab need to catch iPad.
