Samsung’s iPad rival debuts Ben Grubb
September 3, 2010 - 11:45AM
Samsung's Galaxy Tab it plans to release later
this year.
Samsung ’s Apple iPad rival and worst kept
secret after it was spotted on a Sydney train,
the Samsung Galaxy Tab, was last night
unveiled officially by the South Korean
company.
Samsung ’s Australian vice president, telecommunications division, Tyler McGee, told
this website that Samsung Australia planned to
release the tablet in Australia in the fourth
quarter.
It would be available before Christmas, he said.
The tablet features a 7-inch LCD display and
will run the latest Google Android 2.2 operating system, Froyo, at launch. It will be able to store up to 16 gigabytes of data internally and has a microSD slot that allows for an additional 32 gigabyte SD card.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab will also make use of
both Wi-Fi and 3G technologies, allowing for
internet access on the go. It will also feature
a front and rear-facing camera.
The rear-facing camera, which utilises an LED
flash and auto-focus, is 3 megapixels, while the front-facing camera, used for video calling, is of a lower quality - 1.3 megapixels.
The tablet will come in one model and weigh
380 grams, half that of its rival, the Apple
iPad 3G with Wi-Fi.
No pricing has been announced and it ’s not yet known if it will be sold outright as opposed to being tied to a telecommunications company like Telstra or Optus on a subsidised plan.
McGee said the pricing would be "competitive"
to Apple's iPad.
"At this point in time the [telcos] are still
reviewing how we're going to bring it to
market," McGee said. "In four weeks time we
hope that [telcos] will have settled down with
their plans and we should have something else
to share then."
There was the option to "look at more traditional retail channels with an outright price", but no decision had been made on that.
As for applications, the tablet uses Google ’s
Android operating system, which can access the thousands of apps on the Android Marketplace.
Samsung will also have its own store available
for developers to create apps specifically for
the tablet.

You can use an SD card to upgrade the
